Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction explores not only the key philosophical questions that underlie the debate between science and religion, but also the social, political, and ethical contexts that have made it such a fraught and interesting topic in the modern world. Offering perspectives from non-Christian religions and examples from across the physical, biological, and social sciences, it examines landmark historical episodes such as the trial of Galileo by the Inquisition in 1633, and highlights modern debates about quantum physics, cosmology, neuroscience, and evolutionary ethics, examining their political as well as their religious significance.
