Purpose in the Universe: The moral and metaphysical case for Ananthropocentric Purposivism
Mulgan, Tim (University of Auckland / University of St Andrews)
Two familiar worldviews dominate Western philosophy: materialist atheism and the benevolent God of the Abrahamic faiths. Tim Mulgan defends a third way. Ananthropocentric Purposivism claims that there is a cosmic purpose, but human beings are irrelevant to it. He argues that non-human-centred cosmic purpose can ground a distinctive human morality.
