Is Theism a Simple, and hence Probable, Explanation for the Universe?
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Philosophy • Authors: John Ostrowick --- Philosophy Department, University of Cape Town,Richard Swinburne, in his The Existence of God (2004), presents a cosmological argument in defence of theism (Swinburne 1991: 119, 135). God, Swinburne argues, is more likely to bring about an ordered universe than other states (ibid.: 144, 299). To... -
Disability Cosmology: The Practice of Making Disability Worlds
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of Psychology in Africa • Authors: Patrick Devlieger --- University of Leuven, Geert Van Hove --- Ghent University, Frank Renders --- University of Leuven,The practice of making disability worlds is investigated both theoretically, in the context of developments in disability studies, in particular in the cultural model of disability, and practically in two examples, namely inclusive education environments and public environments. Theoretically, we... -
The cosmological aspects of food in the material world
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: • Authors: Joseph Hegarty --- Sheffield Business School, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UKThere is a general tendency today to believe that all truth worth knowing is to be found in the various branches of the physical sciences. If this were so, there could be no place for a philosophy of matter, or by... -

Minisuperspace description for inhomogeneous cosmological models and the role of the Lie symmetries
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: Andronikos Paliathanasis --- Institute of Systems Science, Durban University of Technology, South AfricaWe explore the application of Lie symmetries to simplify the gravitational field equations of inhomogeneous cosmology. By employing these symmetries, we demonstrate the construction of a point-like Lagrangian and establish the existence of a minisuperspace description. Finally we show how...
