Eternity between space and time: from consciousness to the cosmos
A collective work that brings together 24 contributions from internationally renowned philosophers, theologians, physicists and psychologists, with reflections on the themes of finitude and infinity, time and eternity, empty space and material space. The volume Eternity between space and time: from consciousness to the cosmos, published by De Gruyter, was presented today, 6 September, at the General Curia of the Society of Jesus in Rome. Among the editors is Gabriele Gionti SJ, cosmologist and Vice-Director of the Vatican Observatory.
This essay explains the languages that speak of finitude,’ the editors said, ‘by considering the concept of eternity as the fulcrum around which old and new definitions of the relationships between nothingness and being, physics and metaphysics, mortality and immortality revolve.
