内容説明
The Anthropic Principle states that the Universe has the conditions we observe because we are here. Out of all possible universes we can only experience the restricted class that this permits observers. The realisation that this is so has profound implications for cosmology, philosophy and theology, which are explored in this book. The sixteen contributors joined to discuss and share their theories within the context of science. The result is a unique collection of papers of great value to professional astronomers and philosophers interested in the role of observers in the Universe.
