Beskrivelse af Mechanistic Biology And The Religious Consciousness
Mechanistic Biology and the Religious Consciousness is a book written by Joseph Needham, a renowned British biochemist and historian of science. The book explores the relationship between mechanistic biology and religious consciousness, specifically focusing on the impact of mechanistic thinking on religious beliefs and practices.Needham argues that the rise of mechanistic biology in the 17th and 18th centuries led to a fundamental shift in the way people viewed the natural world and their place in it. This shift, he claims, had a profound impact on religious consciousness, causing many to question traditional religious beliefs and leading to the rise of new forms of religious thought.Throughout the book, Needham examines the works of key figures in the history of biology, including Descartes, Newton, and Darwin, and how their ideas shaped the development of mechanistic biology. He also discusses the reactions of religious thinkers to these ideas, including the rise of deism and natural theology.Overall, Mechanistic Biology and the Religious Consciousness offers a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between science and religion, and how the two have influenced each other over time. It is a valuable read for anyone interested in the history of science or the intersection of science and religion.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Science Religion and Reality, by Joseph Needham.
