Is Nature Enough?
Is nature all there is? The belief that nature is all there is and that no overall purpose exists in the universe is known broadly as 'naturalism'. John Haught examines this question and in doing so addresses a fundamental issue in the dialogue of science with religion.
Since the rise of science in the modern world has had so much influence on naturalism's intellectual acceptance, the author focuses on 'scientific' naturalism and the way in which its defenders are now attempting to put a distance between contemporary thought and humanity's religious traditions. Naturalism, in this context, denies the existence of any realities distinct from the natural world and human culture. Haught seeks to provide a reasonable, scientifically informed alternative to naturalism.
His approach will provide the basis for lively discussion among students, scholars, scientists, theologians and intellectually curious people in general.
