Philosophy in Science explores the concepts of space, time, and causality, from Plato and Aristotle, through Descartes, Leibniz, Kant and other great thinkers, right up to the relativistic cosmologies and the theories of contemporary science.

What could be more important than to understand the Universe and ourselves as a part of it, or to find a window onto our origin and our destiny? This book examines how far our modern cosmological theories can take us towards answering these questions.
