Science, Religion And The Human Experience(James D.Progtor)
Price= Rs.229 Rs.149/-
Science and religion are two major forces shaping our world: how do they relate to each other? Some people think of science and religion as separate domains, of reason versus faith, facts versus values, or an emphasis on the material versus the spiritual world. Others think of science and religion as overlapping domains, marked either by warfare arising from conflicting claims, or harmony arising from similar claims. Whether separate or overlapping, one important and often neglected similarity is the human face of science and religion: both operate in yet seek to reach beyond specific historical, political, ideological, and psychological contexts defining the human experience. How may we understand science and religion as arising from, yet somehow transcending, the human experience? This book features the perspectives of a distinguished and diverse group of scholars. Their essays proceed from the fundamental though often neglected point of departure that both science and religion are, in important respects, inextricably human endeavors. The essays explore implications for scientific knowledge, religious meaning, and the relationship between the two. Each essay has the flavor of a scholarly yet personal reflection on the paradox of how science and religion are enmeshed in the human experience.
