Los debates sobre ciencia y religión rara vez dejan de ser noticia. Ya sea que se traten de lo que se enseña en las escuelas, de la encrucijada entre los valores religiosos y las recomendaciones médicas o de los cuestionamientos sobre cómo abordar nuestro cambiante medioambiente global, las emociones suelen estar a flor de piel y las respuestas no parecen satisfactorias. Sin embargo, la ciencia y la religión son mucho más que un choque de extremos.Como exponen Thomas Dixon y Adam Shapiro en esta equilibrada, sugerente y breve introducción, existe una gama de puntos de vista, argumentos sutiles y perspectivas fascinantes para abordar este complejo y centenario tema. Así como exploran las preguntas filosóficas clave que subyacen al debate, también destacan los contextos sociales, políticos y éticos que han hecho de las tensiones entre ciencia y religión un asunto tan tenso e interesante en el mundo moderno. En esta nueva edición, Dixon y Shapiro relacionan conceptos históricos como la evolución, el sistema solar heliocéntrico y el problema del mal con temáticas actuales como la politización de la ciencia, los debates sobre la mente, el cuerpo y la identidad o la necesidad moral de enfrentar el cambio medioambiental. Desde los misioneros médicos hasta las congregaciones que adoptan nuevas tecnologías durante una pandemia, desde la astronomía de Galileo hasta la construcción del Telescopio de Treinta Metros, los autores analizan cómo algunas de las cuestiones sociales más complejas de nuestros días tienen su origen en debates sobre ciencia y religión.
