Religion, Culture, and Society 253 - Science and Religion

Institution:

Gustavus Adolphus College

Subject:

Description:

The 400-year-old debate between science and religion seems poised for a fundamental change. Until recently it has presupposed a duality between the rationality of science (its factual, quantitative, and objective outlook) and the faith of religion (its valuational, emotional, and subjective outlook). This course will examine postmodern efforts to replace such dualities with an unity, where rationality and faith are found in both science and religion. Prerequisite: any course in religion. HIPHI, WRITD, Fall semester, odd years.
