Originally published in 1961, this book originated in the belief
that there was an urgent need for a greater association between
philosophers and scientists and of both with men of religion. The
problem of bringing this association into being is approached from
different angles by the two authors, who, while agreeing on the
main thesis, differ on many details, and the discussion is largely
concerned with an examination of the points of difference. It
ranges over the significance of scientific concepts, such as ether,
energy, space and time, the place of mathematics in science and of
linguistics in philosophy, the nature of scientific thought in
relation to the universe as a whole, problems of life, mind, ethics
and theology. It also raises questions of importance concerning the
present attitudes of organizations dealing with these matters
towards their respective concerns. While the main purpose is always
kept in view, a certain amount of discursiveness allows for the
introduction of incidental matters of interest in themselves as
well as in their relation to the central theme. The book has been
written for the layman, and the student, while not, by
over-simplification, offending the expert and the erudite.
