The Emerging Religion of Science is a broad and erudite examination of the individual's place in the modern world. What can we believe today that will not betray us tomorrow? the author asks. Religion is losing influence. But the scientist, who explores the laws of nature, may be the modern guide to meaning. The mathematical equations of science have become unifying elements of the world as we know it. The author explores ways to face today's problems within the context of good and evil, freedom and restraint, probability and certainty, the real and the illusory, and the concept of self. He offers the view that, thought the paths we take may be different, we are all searching for the same thing: a thread on which the beads of experience and education can be strung.
RICHARD C. ROTHSCHILD was author of Paradoxy: The Destiny of Modern Thought, Reality and Illusion: A New Framework of Values, and Three Gods Give an Evening To Politics. He lectured at the New School for Social Research.
