About The Book

The Book provides a concise study of Cosmology at an introductory level. Starting from elementary principles and the history of Cosmology, the text carefully guides the readers through a Christian Philosophical journey in knowing and experiencing the Cosmos. It comprehensively deals with the historical background of understanding Cosmology; it amplifies the origin and the problems of creation by basing itself substantially on philosophy - both the eastern and the western understanding of the world; and provides truthful reflections with selected authors for the conclusion. It offers a sound. background in applying the principles of Metaphysics to Cosmology.

The annotated Bibliography at the end of the Book provides the readers with selected readings referred by the Author. It is also recommended for further reading, interpretations and conclusions.

These notes will be helpful not only for Cosmological novice(s) but also for readers who are well versed with Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Philosophy (East and West); students (undergraduates, graduates and advanced) having basic knowledge in the field of Philosophy, Metaphysics and Epistemology; Cosmologists; Philosophers; Seminarians; Institutions and Libraries of the concerned subject.

Preface

There could be no higher honor for a Philosopher than to grow in the thoughts of the Author which can be studied, criticized, and put into 'pragmatic' use. If the crystallization of one's life finds echo, sympathy, critique and is found to have transforming power, this is a reason for joy, gratitude and acknowledgment.

I believe a sign of an authentic human person is in acknowledging the other. The other can be experienced in God, World and Man. In this Book, I would like to stress the other of the World (Cosmos). The deepest sense of this is based on the awareness that, beyond us and all that we stand for, there is the reality of this World that transcends us all. I shall put forward my convictions, provocations, and questions to be further studied and criticized. These are neither theses, dogmas nor are they hypotheses, because they do not meditate in constituting a system or intend to prove something else. I would like to believe and think that they are truly Philosophy. Any metaphor 'carries us beyond' the first meaning of a sentence and allows us to land on unknown shores and perhaps to get lost in them. It helps us from getting drowned in the deep waters. The thoughtful readers will perhaps detect a discreet smile between the lines. This does not mean that I am writing for those who are not interested, not intended to study, or doing Philosophy or those who think they are average or below- average students; it would be a weak and improper judgment but I am merely affirming it is essential initially to initiate and approach my Philosophical venture in this unknown journey you have decided to take in unraveling the deepest truth of the living reality - Cosmos.
