Opis

This book argues for the retrieval of the concept of 'natural philosophy', encompassing the natural sciences, philosophy, and theology, amongst others. It identifies the essential characteristics of natural philosophy from its Aristotelian roots onwards, and then makes a creative proposal on how we might reincorporate it into our current worldview.

Recenzje

In my opinion, this is McGrath's most important work to date, and might even be a candidate of 21st century classics. Michael Borowski, Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology
