Description

Explore how science and religion coexist through the life of A.S. Eddington (1882-1944), a pioneering astrophysicist and devout Quaker who bridged two seemingly incompatible worlds. This University of Chicago Press publication examines Eddington's groundbreaking work in relativity and astrophysics alongside his unwavering religious conviction, demonstrating that scientific and spiritual values need not conflict. Rather than presenting religion and science as opposing forces, the book reveals how they can interact and overlap while maintaining their distinct integrity. Eddington's career serves as a compelling case study for modern readers seeking to understand the relationship between faith and empirical knowledge. Perfect for those interested in the history of science, philosophy of religion, or the intellectual achievements of early twentieth-century scientists who refused to compartmentalise their lives.

Key Features

The book focuses on A.S. Eddington, a world-class astrophysicist and relativity pioneer who maintained religious belief throughout his scientific career.

Published by University of Chicago Press, this scholarly work explores how religious and scientific values can coexist without compromising either discipline.

Examines Eddington's role as a devout Quaker who defended the interrelation of science and spirituality during a pivotal period in physics history.

Ideal for readers studying the history of science, philosophy of religion, or early twentieth-century intellectual thought.
