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 Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities 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.
Peter Harrison provides an account of the religious foundations of scientific knowledge. He shows how the approaches to the study of nature that emerged in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were directly informed by theological discussions about the Fall of Man and the extent to which the mind and the senses had been damaged by that primeval event. Scientific methods, he suggests, were originally devised as techniques for ameliorating the cognitive damage wrought by human sin. At its inception, modern science was conceptualized as a means of recapturing the knowledge of nature that Adam had once possessed. Contrary to a widespread view that sees science emerging in conflict with religion, Harrison argues that theological considerations were of vital importance in the framing of the scientific method.

關注科學革命時期原罪與墮落敘事對各種科學方法與思潮的影響 中心論點是從奧古斯丁加爾文到英國新教 當時認為人類的原罪與墮落程度-獲取知識的能力-比中世紀時認為得要嚴重 而正是為彌補這種depri(a)vation促使全新的approach産生。本書一大優點是聚焦原罪問題的同時有清晰的big picture框架 理科生寫書的好處是結構和論證都非常清晰。有趣的是 牛頓是此書中一個例外的怪胎 他龐大的宗教作品中幾乎完全沒有提到原罪 作者認為他反trinity的立場使其拒絕人類認知能力的墮落 這使他能大膽地結閤衝突派彆的approach 形成數學-實驗結閤的革命性進路。
