Yet, sociological analysis of these subjects remains surprisingly scarce.This wide-ranging book critically reviews the ways in which religious and non-religious belief systems interact with scientific theories and practices. Contributors explore how, for some secularists, ‘science’ forms an important part of social identity. Others examine how many contemporary religious movements justify their beliefs by making a claim upon science. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the United States, the book shows how debates about science and belief are firmly embedded in political conflict, class, community and culture.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: David Long (Contributions by), Susanne Kind (Contributions by), Lois Lee (Contributions by), Stephen H Jones (Edited by), Rebecca Catto (Edited by), Tom Kaden (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Science Nature & Math, Philosophy & SpiritualityAuthor: David LongRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
