The Fine-Tuned Universe - A New Cosmology?
The idea that a "well-designed" order is embedded in the cosmos is widespread across many cultural regions and epochs. One could argue that myths of origin, creation and genesis, which ascribe an intentional logic to the world as a whole, correspond to an anthropological need and can therefore be found at all times and in all cultures.
The aim of the CAS Research Focus is to deal with the various cosmologies from the perspective of philosophy, theology, ethnology and (astro)physics, to analyze their structures and to compare them with current research models.
