Rendition As Books Religion and Science

In this timely work, Russell, philosopher, agnostic, mathematician, and renowned peace advocate, offers a brief yet insightful study of the conflicts between science and traditional religion during the last four centuries. Examining accounts in which scientific advances clashed with Christian doctrine or biblical interpretations of the day, from Galileo and the Copernican Revolution, to the medical breakthroughs of anesthesia and inoculation, Russell points to the constant upheaval and reevaluation of our systems of belief throughout history. In turn, he identifies where similar debates between modern science and the Church still exist today. This classic is sure to interest all readers of philosophy and religion, as well as those interested in Russell's thought and writings.

Judge Regarding Books Religion and Science

I cannot believe I managed to finish the book eventually - It felt like i am an academic student, highlighting, taking notes and better still, studying the book throughout the course of the past couple of month skimming through it. I am saving my essay-long review until I organize my notes - Revisiting this soon.

My favorite section was on morality and ethics. Some very clear thoughts on such a murky topic.

A shot gem. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in science. It's a really short book, a page-turner and it definitely made a positive impact on my understanding of the topic.

In the first instance, I wish to repudiate the statement made by Manny on comment 72 here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...I mean, I was gasping, possibly even moaning...but it wasn't because Bertrand is my pornography....So we have here a guy who thought he could spend his life being opinionated about everything and telling it how it is until he changes his mind. Russell believed that facts weren't the way to change people's minds, only emotional arguments could do that, and this book

I loved this book. The author first explains the conflict between science and religion and how scientists were prosecuted by religious entities. He speaks then about various topics that are very debatable like the soul, Sufism, free will, etc,, He states that science need a lot to answer but he is always winning the battles against religion.. He also explains many philosophical ideas that science don't need to answer. Interesting

Given the year it was written - 1935 - it is a profound book. Analysis of the conflict between science and religion is basically as relevant as most of the modent writings, e.g. Dawkins and Harris. Ideas are so fresh and relevant, it is amazing how precise Russell was about directions of science. He even predicted neuroscience as a separate field. He said that in the future there is going to be science in between psychology and physics, which will unite 'material' and 'mental' worlds.I've

The "original" and still the Greatest!!
