Beyond Barbour: A Theology of Science from Ancient and Modern Thinkers

Physics

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The chapter critically assesses the categories of science and religion proposed by Barbour in the light of a long history of science with origins in ancient wisdom literature, on the one hand, and current social narratives of science, on the other. Finding them wanting, it proposes new categories, and the educational implementation.
