Science and Faith

Iz trolista znanost-kultura-vjera već smo obradili znanost i kulturu te njihove uzajamne odnose. Ovaj se put zaustavljamo na odnosima znanosti, vjere i morala. Pisac objašnjuje pojmove vjere, religije i teologije, a zatim izlaže njihove extremne oblike, napetosti i sukobe sa znanošću. Premda su znanost i vjera posebni i zasebni sustavi mišljenja, cilj im je zajednički, tj. upoznavanje Istine. Oba načina spoznaje vode istom cilju i zbog toga među njima ne može biti temeljnog sukoba. Kako je moral usko povezan s vjerom u potrazi za Dobrotom, između znanosti te vjere i morala trebao bi vladati potpuni sklad, budući da su Istina i Dobrota ontološki povezane.We have been alreadv investigating the relations between science, culture and faith. In this article the Author explores the relations between science, faith and ethics. Firstlv, he clarifies the notions of faith, religion and moralitv, then he points at the conflicts and tensions among their extreme manifestations. Although science and faith are diverse svstems of cognition, however, their common aim is the same, i.e. the knowledge of Truth. Progressing to the same aim they are travelling, nevertheless, by different ways. Therefore, the conflict between the authentic science and authentic faith is impossible. Collisions between science and faith possible only if they are not genuine. The moral life, being closely joined to faith in serving to the Good, science and faith must collaborate with corresponding responsibility. The Truth and the Good are in an ontological connection
