Is scientific knowledge wisdom, or is it more limited - effective,
useful, applicable, but not what we mean by wisdom? And, is the
wisdom of ages past embodied in the great religious traditions
still wisdom for our time, as we have to face new challenges,
opportunities and responsibilities? To what extent are science and
theology determined by their cultural setting? To what extent do
they influence the development of culture? Contributions to this
book consider various interactions between science, theology and
culture from the viewpoints of philosophy, ethics, ecology,
hermeneutics, history, Eastern Orthodoxy and with respect to a few
selected practical issues. Some authors question whether science
and theology are able to be sources of wisdom at all in our days.
The variety of perspectives from different cultural backgrounds are
embodied in this volume and reflect the role of culture on the
meta-level of writing and reading. The reader will be encouraged to
'drink' from the streams of wisdom and knowledge investigated in
the book, in order to think anew about the rather simple separation
between two cultures, which has prevailed for a long time in
scientific, theological and cultural thinking.
