Description

Science and Religion: An Impossible Dialogue By Yves Gingras The relationship between science and religion has long been a contentious issue. In this thought-provoking exploration, historian and sociologist Yves Gingras examines the complex history of their interaction, from the condemnation of Galileo in 1633 to his later rehabilitation. Gingras argues that science and religion are fundamentally incompatible as social institutions, rooted in different methodologies and forms of knowledge. He reconstructs the process by which science gradually separated from theology and religion, highlighting the marginalization of God and natural theology in the scientific field during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This authoritative book will be of great interest to scholars and readers alike who are intrigued by the ongoing conversations about the relationship between science and religion. Wide-ranging and insightful, this new work sheds light on one of the most fundamental questions of Western thought.
