Catholic Essays

Christian Books & Bibles

Christendom Press

From back cover: "This book is the eighth collection of essays by the author that in a good part deal with science. The first essay deals with a strange and very late awakening to the bearing of Godel's theorem of physics. The second is concerned with a similar though much earlier fact, nameley, Galileo's oversight of a wholly mistaken statement of Aristotle on the laws of motion. The next five essays have for their topic, in part with an eye on Duhem's work, the role which Christ, or rather belief in him played and still plays in a proper grasp of the history of science and evven of brave utterances about extra-terrestrials. In chapter 8 attention is focused on the relation of relativity theory to religion, with special reference to Einstein's own statements, whereas the question of purpose as a problem in biology is discussed in chapter 9. The next three chapters deal with the broader societal questions of bioethics. Chapter 13 offers an analysis of the conversion to Catholicism of Karl Stern, a noted Jewish psychiatrist. Chapters 14-15 deal with Chesterton, whereas teh thought of Thomas Aquinas constitutes the topic of the concluding two chapters." "Stanley L. Jaki is a world-renowned historian and philosopher of science with more than fifty books to his credit. He is the winner of the Templeton Prize for 1987."

A Late Awakening and Other Essays

Real-View-Books

Science is very much a late-corner in human history, nowadays taken to be several million years old. Of that immense past, the history of science takes up perhaps twice twenty centuries. By contrast, science as we use it today is no more than a few hundred years old. During that time science has grown at an accelerated rate, which took on an explosive character during the twentieth century. Human life has become wholly science-conditioned, and yet it shows needs that remain vivid in spite of their antiquity. Religion is more alive than ever. Its relation to science keeps prompting a great many studies. A novel probing into that relation is offered in the pages of this book, the text of Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1975 and 1976. According to the thesis developed in these lectures the epistemology of the classic proofs of the existence of God subtly resurfaced in methodologies that are associated with great creative advances in science. It is also proposed that whenever a scientific method has been submitted which is implicitly or thematically contrary to that epistemology, science has become a real or at least a potential loser. The thesis is supported by a remarkable grasp of the history of physics, astronomy, philosophy, and theology. Stanley L. Jaki, an internationally recognized historian and philosopher of science, is the winner of the Templeton Prize for 1987.
