A Philosophy of the Expanding Earth and Universe is a 1985 work by the geologist Samuel Warren Carey (Hobart, revised edition).
Overview
The book presents Carey's broader philosophical reflections on the Expanding Earth hypothesis and on the idea of a generally expanding universe. Building on the geological case he made in The Expanding Earth (1976), he sets the expansion of the Earth within a wider framework, discussing its implications for cosmology and for the philosophy and methodology of the earth sciences.
