怀特海对宗教与科学关系的独特分析

对于宗教与科学的关系,怀特海采取了宽容的态度。他认为,宗教与科学是互补的,科学的实质是一种"抽象误置为具体的谬误",而"宗教是人性寻求上帝的反应",是个人针对自身的孤独性而进行的活动。宗教和科学都应随着时代的进步而发展演化。当科学方法与宗教智慧相辅相成、协同并进时,它们就能为建立和谐、公平的社会体制提供必要的工具。

Whitehead’s Unique Analysis on the Relationship between Religion and Science

On the relationship between religion and science,Whitehead took a tolerant attitude.He considered that religion and science were complementary and that the essence of science was a kind of fallacy which was "Abstract misplaced concrete",and "Religion is the response of human nature’s seeking God",and they were activities against their own personal loneliness.Religion and science should develop with the progress of the times.When the scientific method and religious wisdom could be complementary and collaborative,they would be able to provide the necessary tools to establish a harmonious and equitable social system.
