Uskonto ja tiede by Harald Høffding
QR code
"Uskonto ja tiede" by Harald Høffding is a philosophical treatise addressing the tensions between religion and science, likely written in the early 20th century. The work explores how the division of labor in society has influenced individual identity and intellectual pursuits, leading to a disconnect between religious beliefs and scientific inquiry. The author examines the historical context of religion as a unified worldview and delves into the ongoing challenges that arise as
spiritual needs evolve and separate from scientific understanding. At the start of the treatise, Høffding introduces the critical state of civilization brought about by the division of labor, asserting that it leads individuals to produce only fragments of their potential. He argues that both religion and science, once harmonious, now stand in opposition due to divergent methods of inquiry and understanding. The opening portion sets the stage for diverse discussions about how spiritual and historical aspects of human existence must adapt to coexist with evolving scientific principles, addressing the fundamental questions that arise as societies seek deeper truths beyond traditional religious frameworks.
