Philosophy, Science and Religion: Religion and Science
Three of the most essential styles of thinking about the universe and the place in it are philosophy, science, and religion. Are these modes mutually exclusive? To put it another way, is it intellectually responsible to 'choose sides' and identify with one of these approaches over the others? Or are they mutually supporting or complementary? The devil, as is common in matters of this size, is in the details. It's crucial, for example, to figure out what makes each of these methods of thinking about the world unique. You'll look at what some of the contemporary major intellectuals in philosophy, science, and religion are actually doing in order to acquire some clarity.
