Reconstructing Nature: The Engagement of Science and ReligionOxford University Press, 2000 - 367 síður This book, first published in the U.K. by T&T Clark, expands on the authors' prestigious Glasgow Gifford Lectures of 1995-6. Brooke and Cantor herein examine the many different ways in which the relationship between science and religion has been presented throughout history. They contend that, in fact, neither science nor religion is reducible to some timeless "essence" -- and they deftly criticize the various master-narratives that have been put forward in support of such "essentialist" theses. |
