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.
