Science and religion in Wittgenstein's fly bottle

See all formats and editions

Are science and religion in accord or are they diametrically opposed to each other?

The common perspectives - for or against religion - are based on the same question, 'Do religion and science fit together or not?'.

These arguments are usually stuck within a preconceived notion of realism which assumes that there is a 'true reality' that is independent of us and is that which we discover.

However, this context confuses our understanding of both science and religion.

The core concern is not the relation between science and religion, it is realism in science and religion.

Wittgenstein's philosophy and developments in quantum theory can help us to untie the knots in our preconceived realism and, as Wittgenstein would say, show the fly out of the bottle.
