Science, belief and society
Policy PressSivumäärä: 304 sivuaAsu: Kovakantinen kirjaJulkaisuvuosi: 2019, 22.05.2019 (lisätietoa)Kieli: Englanti This wide-ranging book critically reviews the ways in which religious and non-religious belief systems interact with scientific methods, traditions and theories. Contributors explore how, for some secularists, `science' forms an important part of social identity. Others examine how many contemporary religious movements justify their beliefs by making a claim upon science. The book shows how debates about science and belief are firmly embedded in political conflict, class, community and culture.
