A few remarks on Science, Religion and Secularization by John Hedley Brooke
On the 15-th of March, Mr. John Hadley Brooke held a lecture at the Faculty of Philosophy in Bucharest entitled: Science, Religion and Secularization: Past Present and Future. I will jot down here a few remarks about his lecture.
Mr. Brooke’s main thesis is that the process of secularization that we experienced in the last centuries wasn’t caused by science or at least not by science alone, but rather by religion eroding itself from the inside. So religion doesn’t actually contradict science (nor vice-versa) and science isn’t that important in the spiritual lives of people.
