当代西方科学与宗教关系反冲突论批判

Criticism on the Theory of Anti-conflict about Contemporary Western Science and Religion

在科学与宗教的关系问题上,“冲突论”一直占据着主导地位。目前,这种观点遭到了以巴伯、布鲁克和康托尔等为代表的西方学者的广泛质疑与批判,反冲突论思潮盛行一时。不过,当代反冲突论在批判过程中又走到了另一个极端。即使在今天,“冲突论”在一定的意义上仍然是可以成立的。

The conflict theory plays a leading role in the relation between science and religion. However, the theory is extensively doubted and criticized by some western scholars, such as Ian G Barbour, John Brooke, and the anti-conflict theory has become very popular. But the contemporary anti-conflict theory has gone to another extreme. In fact, the conflict theory is reasonable in some sense even today.
