Paul L. Allen

Ernan McMullin and Critical Realism in the Science-Theology Dialogue (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Relying on the lifetime work of philosopher Ernan McMullin, this book expands our understanding of critical realism beyond a permanent stand off between the subjective and objective, whether in science or theology. Critical realism illuminates the subject and the objectively known simultaneously. Responding to criticisms made against it, this book defends critical realism in science and theology with a specific role to play in our understanding of God.
