| Resumo: | The concept of critical realism has often been invoked in the contemporary dialogue between science and theology. ‘Realism’ implies at least a verisimilitudinous relation with the way things are, and the modifier ‘critical’ indicates that something more subtle than naive objectivity is involved. Scientist–theologians have commonly regarded the idea as applying to both science and theology, in appropriate ways, and have seen this as indicating a cousinly relationship between the two disciplines. Paul Allen's first chapter is devoted to a critical account of the use of critical realism by three such scientist–theologians: Ian Barbour, Arthur Peacocke, and the present writer. |
