Science and Religion (Classic Reprint): The Rational and the Superrational an Address Delivered May 4, 1914 Before the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni in New York - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Reason points beyond the known, revealing a realm beyond ordinary knowledge that both patients science and faith can share. This classic address argues that truth unfolds in a double register: the rational world we can prove and a superrational Overworld that rational thought hints at but cannot fully contain. It invites readers to reconsider how religion fits with our expanding understanding of the universe.

< p>In clear terms, the talk explores how logic and experience converge to illuminate big questions about existence, knowledge, and the nature of divinity. It challenges the idea that religion must cling to ignorance, while offering a thoughtful vision of how faith and reason can illuminate one another.

• Grasp the concept of a superrational Overworld that lies beyond full rational reach while guiding human inquiry.


• See how ideas of omniscience and knowledge shape discussions about religion and science.


• Consider historical and philosophical examples that illustrate the tension between what we know and what remains beyond us.


• Reflect on how a mature view of knowledge affects beliefs about existence, beauty, and the good.

Ideal for readers interested in philosophy of science, religion, and intellectual history.
