Realist Guide to Religion and Science

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of faith and science, the book delves into the consequences of abandoning realism, a key approach to understanding reality. It examines why some religious believers resort to violence against non-converts and why certain scientists entertain radical theories about the origins of life. Through historical analysis, Fr. Paul Robinson argues that both religion and science become irrational when they stray from realism, highlighting the intellectual benefits of embracing this philosophical perspective for a more coherent understanding of existence.
