Product Description -
Most things you a€˜knowa€ about science and religion are myths or half-truths that grew up in the last years of the nineteenth century and remain widespread today. a€˜A deeply researched history of the interplay between the two ways of understanding the world.a€A ECONOMIST, BEST BOOKS OF 2023The true history of science and religion is a human one. Ita€s about the role of religion in inspiring, and strangling, science before the scientific revolution. Ita€s about the sincere but eccentric faith and the quiet, creeping doubts of the most brilliant scientists in history a€“ Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Maxwell, Einstein. Above all ita€s about the question of what it means to be human and who gets to say a€“ a question that is more urgent in the twenty-first century than ever before. From eighth-century Baghdad to the frontiers of AI today, via medieval Europe, nineteenth-century India and Soviet Russia, MagisteriaA sheds new light on this complex historical landscape. Rejecting the thesis that science and religion are inevitably at war, Nicholas Spencer illuminates a compelling and troubled relationship that has definitively shaped human history.
