Science and the Spiritual Quest: New Essays by Leading ScientistsW. Mark Richardson Psychology Press, 2002 - 264 páginas Addressing fundamental questions about life, death and the universe Science and the Spiritual Quest: New Essays by Leading Scientists examines the ways in which scientists negotiate the complex frontiers between their scientific and religious beliefs. Distinguished cosmologists, physicians, biologists and computer scientists of different faiths explore the connections between the domain of science and the realms of ethics, spirituality and the divine. Through essays and frank interviews, they offer honest, stimulating, and often intensely personal thoughts about life's most impenetrable mysteries. This unique volume presents radical new approaches to the religion/science debate and highlights the continued importance of the 'spiritual quest' in a world transformed by the developments of science. |
