This book addresses a variety of important questions on nature,
science, and spirituality: Is the natural world all that there is?
Or is it possible to move 'beyond nature'? What might it mean to
transcend nature? What reflections of anything 'beyond nature'
might be found in nature itself? Gathering papers originally
delivered at the 2018 annual conference of the European Society for
the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), the book includes
contributions of an international group of scientists,
philosophers, theologians and historians, all discussing nature and
what may lie beyond it. More than 20 chapters explore questions of
science, nature, spirituality and more, including Nature - and
Beyond? Immanence and Transcendence in Science and Religion Awe and
wonder in scientific practice: Implications for the relationship
between science and religion The Cosmos Considered as a Moral
Institution The transcendent within: how our own biology leads to
spirituality Preserving the heavens and the earth: Planetary
sustainability from a Biblical and educational perspective Issues
in Science and Theology: Nature - and Beyond will benefit a broad
audience of students, scholars and faculty in such disciplines as
philosophy, history of science, theology, and ethics.
This volume examines emotions and emotional well-being from a rich
variety of theological, philosophical and scientific and
therapeutic perspectives. To experience emotion is a part of being
human; but what are emotions? How can theology, philosophy and the
natural sciences unpack the nature and content of emotions? This
volume is based on contributions to the 15th European Conference on
Science and Theology held in Assisi, Italy. It brings together
contributions from scholars of various academic backgrounds from
around the world, whose individual insights are made all the richer
by their juxtaposition with those from experts in other fields,
leading to a unique exchange of ideas.
This book offers a penetrating analysis of issues raised by the
perennial question, 'Are We Special?' It brings together scholars
from a variety of disciplines, from astronomy and palaeontology to
philosophy and theology, to explore this question. Contributors
cover a wide variety of issues, including what makes humans
distinct from other animals, the possibilities of artificial life
and artificial intelligence, the likelihood of life on other
planets, and the role of religious behavior. A variety of religious
and scientific perspectives are brought to bear on these matters.
As a whole, the book addresses whether the issue of human
uniqueness is one to which sciences and religions necessarily offer
differing responses.
This book brings together selected papers from scientists,
theologians and philosophers who took part in the 2021 conference
of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology based
in Madrid, Spain. The contributions constitute a cutting-edge
resource for considering questions from interdisciplinary
perspectives, covering both the crucial role played by images and
models in our thinking and also the limitations which are inherent
in these linguistic devices. Questions addressed include: Can this
use of images and models generate a creative pluralism, enabling us
to think outside the disciplinary silos which are a feature of
academic discourse? Can they enable fruitful, synergistic,
interdisciplinary conversations? This book will appeal to students
and academics alike, particularly those working in the fields of
philosophy, theology, ethics and the history of science.
This book explores the concept of Life from a range of
perspectives. Divided into three parts, it first examines the
concept of Life from physics to biology. It then presents insights
on the concept from the perspectives of philosophy, theology, and
ethics. The book concludes with chapters on the hermeneutics of
Life, and pays special attention to the Biosemiotics approach to
the concept. The question 'What is Life?' has been deliberated by
the greatest minds throughout human history. Life as we know it is
not a substance or fundamental property, but a complex process. It
is not an easy task to develop an unequivocal approach towards Life
combining scientific, semiotic, philosophical, theological, and
ethical perspectives. In its combination of these perspectives, and
its wide-ranging scope, this book opens up levels and identifies
issues which can serve as intersections for meaningful
interdisciplinary discussions of Life in its different aspects. The
book includes the four plenary lectures and selected, revised and
extended papers from workshops of the 14th European Conference on
Science and Theology (ECST XIV) held in Tartu, Estonia, April 2012.

Religion und Politik bilden seit jeher ein spannungsvolles Geflecht
wechselseitiger Begrundungs- und Abgrenzungsprozesse. Die in diesem
Band versammelten Autoren beleuchten historische und aktuelle
Konstellationen dieser Prozesse durch die Verschrankung von
systematischen und historischen Perspektiven. So reicht die
Spannweite der Beitrage von der Fruhzeit des Christentums uber die
Reformation bis hin zu Schelling, Schleiermacher, Troeltsch und
Barth, wahrend gleichzeitig aktuelle Debatten u.a. zur Theologie in
der DDR, zur Bedeutung der Menschenrechte, zum Konzept der inneren
Fuhrung und zur Fluchtlingsdebatte kritisch nachgezeichnet werden.
This is an exploration of the relationship between evolutionary
psychology, naturalism, and theological reflections, published by
ESSSAT, the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology.
How natural is religion? Is it a phenomenon written in our genes or
brains, naturally developing with the development of the human
race? The book considers the findings of evolutionary psychology
from scientific, philosophical and theological perspectives and
critically examines the relation between empirical, epistemological
and theological notions. Chapters in the book deal with the
naturalness of religion and religious experiences as based on
genetics, biology and social psychology. Other authors examine the
relationship between religion, science and theology with regard to
the naturalness of religion from a more general perspective. The
last part of the book includes views from a Muslim scholar and a
historian.
