Synopsis:
Science has been very successful at discovering the structure and history of the physical world. However, there is more to be told of scientific fact-seeking than can be be gained from impersonal experimental tests. In John Polkinghorne's provocative new book, he goes beyond science to consider the human context in which it operates and to pursue a wider understanding of ourselves and our world. The author looks at issues of meaning and value that are normally excluded from strict scientific inquiry. He also considers how society can find responsible ways to use the power that science places in human hands. Polkinghorne has a unique perspective as both a professor of mathematical physics and a Anglican priest. Thus, his is a balanced account that firmly asserts science's place in human culture while neither overvaluing nor undervaluing the scientific enterprise. Reverend Dr. Polkinghorne is the author of many works on science and religion, including The Faith of a Physicist (1994) and Quarks, Chaos and Christianity (1994).

Beyond Science The Wider Human Context (ISBN: 0521572126 / 0-521-57212-6) Polkinghorne, John Quantity Available: 4
Book Description: Cambridge University Press. Book Condition: New. pp. 143 Science is very successful in discovering the structure and history of the physical world, but its success is purchased by the modesty of its ambition. There is more to be told of the encounter with reality, including the nature of scientific inquiry itself, than can be gained from impersonal experience and experimental test. This book goes beyond science to consider the human context in which it operates and to pursue that wider understanding which we all seek. It looks to issues of meaning and value, intrinsic to scientific practice but excluded from science?s consideration by its own self-d.
