Overview
Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it.
Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. They’ll investigate what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing.
