Peter Harrison is a former Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford and is presently Research Professor and Director of the Centre for the History of European Discourses at the University of Queensland. He was the 2011 Gifford Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and holds a Senior Research Fellowship in the Ian Ramsey Centre at Oxford.
The conflict between science and religion seems indelible, even eternal. Surely two such divergent views of the universe have always been in fierce opposition? Actually, that’s not the case, says Peter Harrison: our very concepts of science and religion are relatively recent, emerging only in the past three hundred years, and it is those very categories, rather than their underlying concepts, that constrain our understanding of how the formal study of nature relates to the religious life.
In The Territories of Science and Religion, Harrison dismantles what we think we know about the two categories, then puts it all back together again in a provocative, productive new way. By tracing the history of these concepts for the first time in parallel, he illuminates alternative boundaries and little-known relations between them—thereby making it possible for us to learn from their true history, and see other possible ways that scientific study and the religious life might relate to, influence, and mutually enrich each other.
A tour de force by a distinguished scholar working at the height of his powers, The Territories of Science and Religion promises to forever alter the way we think about these fundamental pillars of human life and experience.

評分在學科學史方法的時候,我就有一個疑惑,我們都知道科學傢這個詞齣現得很晚,但依舊用他來稱呼泰勒斯之類的人,這種齣於教學和宣傳便捷的稱呼以一種移時的視角誤導瞭大多數人,讓他們相信科學的發展是連續的,科學傢自古就有之,而忽視瞭這個概念內部的多維度。 這也導緻我一直...

評分該書是商務齣版社《科學史譯叢》係列中的一本。關於現代科學,我們並不感到陌生。在我們周遭的生活中,無不是科技帶來的福利。也正是科學特彆是應用科學給人類帶來的諸多便捷,使得人們越來越重視科學及科學的研究。而與此形成反差的,正是被科學排除在外的宗教。對現代科學的...
