Religion and Science from Galileo to Bergson

Description

Explore one of the most important intellectual histories of the modern era in J.C. Hardwick's Religion and Science from Galileo to Bergson. This definitive work traces the collision between religious belief and scientific advancement from the revolutionary discoveries of the 17th century through the philosophical developments of the early 20th century. You will follow the trajectory of Galileo's trial, the Enlightenment's rationalist critique, the Victorian synthesis, and the existential responses of the Bergsonian tradition.\n\nHardwick does not present a simple conflict narrative. Instead, he demonstrates how the dialogue between faith and empirical inquiry shaped modern philosophy, shaped the boundaries of what can be known, and defined the cultural landscape of the West. For anyone interested in the history of ideas, the philosophy of religion, or the intellectual history of the Enlightenment, this is an essential text. The EPUB edition is formatted for easy reading on any device, making this deep philosophical history accessible to you today.
