Sommario/riassunto: | This book considers the nature of knowledge in science and religion and critically examines the relation between these two domains of human knowledge and convictions. Is religious belief knowledge? If so, what kind of knowledge is it? What kind of knowledge is science? And how are religious beliefs and scientific claims of knowledge justified? All these are issues at the centre of public debates on the relation between science and religion. |
