The Coherence of Theism
The Coherence of Theism investigates what it means, and whether it is coherent, to say that there is a God.Richard Swinburne concludes that despite philosophical objections, most traditional claims about God are coherent (that is, do not involve contradictions); and although some of the most important claims are coherent only if the words by which they are expressed are being used in analogical senses, this is the way in which theologians have usually claimed that they are being used.When the first edition of this book was published in 1977, it was the first book in the new 'analytic' tradition of philosophy of religion to discuss these issues.Since that time there have been very many books and discussions devoted to them, and this new, substantially rewritten, second edition takes account of these discussions and of new developments in philosophy generally over the past 40 years.These discussions have concerned how to analyse the claim that God is 'omnipotent', whether God can foreknow human free actions, whether God is everlasting or timeless, and what it is for God to be a 'necessary being'.On all these issues this new edition has new things to say.

What is the coherence theory?
The coherence theory is a theory of truth that states that a belief is true if it coheres or fits well with other beliefs within a particular system or framework. According to this theory, truth is determined by the overall consistency and logical interconnectedness of a set of beliefs, rather than by correspondence to reality. In other words, a belief is considered true if it is part of a coherent and internally consistent system of beliefs, regardless of whether it corresponds to the external world. This theory is often contrasted with the correspondence theory of truth, which holds that a belief is true if it corresponds to objective reality.

Can you provide an example of coherence?
Certainly! An example of coherence can be seen in a well-structured essay where each paragraph flows logically from one to the next, with clear transitions and connections between ideas. This ensures that the reader can easily follow the argument being presented and understand how each point relates to the overall thesis. By maintaining coherence, the writer helps to create a cohesive and unified piece of writing that is easy to comprehend.

What is the internal coherence of a cumulative doctoral thesis?
The internal coherence of a cumulative doctoral thesis refers to the logical and cohesive connection between the individual papers or chapters that make up the thesis. It involves ensuring that the different components of the thesis, such as the literature review, methodology, results, and discussion, are integrated and build upon each other to form a unified argument or narrative. This coherence is achieved through careful planning and organization, as well as through the use of consistent theoretical frameworks, research questions, and methodologies across the different parts of the thesis. Ultimately, the internal coherence of a cumulative doctoral thesis is essential for demonstrating the author's ability to conduct a comprehensive and interconnected research project.

What is the meaning of coherence, enjambment, and line style?
Coherence refers to the logical and consistent connection between ideas in a piece of writing. Enjambment is a poetic technique where a sentence or phrase runs over multiple lines without a pause. Line style refers to the way lines are structured in a poem, including factors such as line length, meter, and rhyme scheme. These elements work together to create the overall flow and impact of a poem.

Integrating the Human Sciences : Enhancing Progress and Coherence across the Social Sciences and Humanities
What if we recognized that the human sciences collectively investigate a few dozen key phenomena that interact with each other?Can we imagine a human science that would seek to stitch its understandings of this system of phenomena into a coherent whole?If so, what would that look like? This book argues that we are unlikely to develop one unified "theory of everything." Our collective understanding must then be a "map" of the myriad relationships within this large – but finite and manageable – system, coupled with detailed understandings of each causal link and of important subsystems.The book outlines such a map and shows that the pursuit of coherence – and a more successful human science enterprise – requires integration, recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of different methods and theory types, and the pursuit of terminological and presentational clarity.It explores how these inter-connected goals can be achieved in research, teaching, library classification, public policy, and university administration.These suggestions are congruent with, and yet enhance, other projects for reform of the human sciences. This volume is aimed at any scholar or student who seeks to comprehend how what they study fits within a broader understanding.

Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Optical coherence tomography is an imaging test which is non-invasive in nature, and makes use of light waves in order to take cross-section pictures of the retina.The different layers of the retina are visible through this technique.There are numerous eye conditions which can be diagnosed through optical coherence tomography.A few of them are glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema and macular hole.The disorders of the optic nerve are also examined using this technique.The conditions which interfere with the passage of light through the eye cannot be diagnosed through optical coherence tomography, since it depends on light waves.This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of optical coherence tomography.It strives to provide a fair idea about its clinical applications and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field.This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying ophthalmology as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.

Europe's Strategic Future : From Crisis to Coherence?
Europe has suffered a decade of crises, with sovereign-debt troubles leading to austerity policies that exacerbated divisions inside member states and between them.Thereafter the Union was confronted with the challenges posed by a revanchist Russia in Ukraine and by a surge in migration from the Middle East and other conflict zones.The June 2016 UK vote to leave the Union threatened further damage to an institution that acknowledges it has failed to punch its weight in the spheres of foreign, defence and security policy.While that is a chronic shortcoming, its impact is becoming more acute as economic power moves East and Europe can no longer count on the steadfast support and leadership of the United States.The costs of Europe’s failure to achieve strategic coherence and effect are steadily rising.This Adelphi book addresses the consequences of Europe’s multiple crises for its standing as a strategic actor, acknowledging its unique character and capabilities.It argues that strategic thought and action is belatedly being informed by the deteriorating security environment, and that nascent initiatives have the potential to effect a step-change.There are grounds for cautious optimism, visible in the success of stabilisation and counter-piracy operations as well as coordinated diplomatic activity.Also, the continent’s leading powers are becoming more pragmatic about how cooperation is organised within and beyond the Union.These developments offer the possibility that Europe might meet its aspirations to be a strategic actor of consequence, despite a long-track record of disappointment and the still-considerable obstacles that lie in its path.

How can the concept of coherence be explained simply in physics?
In physics, coherence refers to the property of waves having a constant phase difference. When two waves are coherent, their peaks and troughs align perfectly, resulting in constructive interference. This leads to a stronger, more intense wave. Coherence is important in various phenomena such as interference patterns in double-slit experiments and the functioning of lasers, where it allows for the production of a powerful, focused beam of light.

Does anyone know a simple and understandable explanation for the feeling of coherence?
The feeling of coherence can be understood as a sense of harmony, understanding, and connection within oneself and with the world around us. It is a state of feeling integrated, balanced, and in alignment with our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. When we feel coherent, we have a clear sense of purpose, direction, and meaning in our lives, which can lead to a sense of peace and well-being. This feeling often arises when we are able to make sense of our experiences, find patterns and connections, and feel a sense of unity within ourselves and with others.
