The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, has
attracted both praise and sharp criticism from the mainstream
scientific community over the years. Extraterrestrials: A
Philosophical Perspective explores the important philosophical
issues that are at play in this discussion. Andre Kukla closely
examines several of the prominent ideas surrounding the possibility
of extraterrestrial life such as the vastness of the universe
argument, the argument from mediocrity and the one world, one
science argument while offering innovative theories of his own.
Among other things, Kukla show uses Chomsky's account of language
acquisition to explain why humans will never be able to communicate
with extraterrestrials. Extraterrestrials offers a close and
thorough treatment of extraterrestrial life that will intrigue a
wide audience, especially those who are interested in the
philosophy of science.
