Synopsis
The Conflict Between Science And Religion Seems Indelible, Even Eternal. Surely Two Such Divergent Views Of The Universe Have Always Been In Fierce Opposition? Actually, That's Not The Case, Says Peter Harrison: Our Very Concepts Of Science And Religion Are Relatively Recent, Emerging Only In The Past Three Hundred Years, And It Is Those Very Categories, Rather Than Their Underlying Concepts, That Constrain Our Understanding Of How The Formal Study Of Nature Relates To The Religious Life. --publisher's Description. The Territories Of Science And Religion -- The Cosmos And The Religious Quest -- Signs And Causes -- Science And The Origins Of Religion -- Utility And Progress -- Professing Science. Peter Harrison. Includes Bibliographical References (pages 255-285) And Index.
