Böcker av Richard H. Jones

Delineates the knowable from the unknowable in philosophy, science, and theology.

This book discusses the controversy surrounding the constitutionality of the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance by exploring the history of the government's references to God, American "civil religion," the background of the Constitution, the Supreme Court's Establishment Clause rulings, and advocating a new rationale.

In this book, Jones methodically challenges both the claim that theological doctrines are the source of modern science (the Dependency Thesis) and the idea that theology has the right to control the content of all scientific theories (Control Beliefs).

This book is a philosophical examination of the mysteries surrounding the foundations of science, philosophy, and religion. Much of Western philosophy and science is discussed in order to see our epistemological and metaphysical situation. The love/hate relation philosophers have with mystery is explored and the importance of mystery is reaffirmed.
