The Territories of Science and Religion helps us rethink the origins of the key modern categories of science and religion, and in doing so provides a new vantage point on the rise of modernity.

This shift, Harrison contends, was the precondition for modern conflicts between science and religion. Considering important turning points in a long swath of Western history from the classical world to the present, Harrison analyzes past activities connected to our present understanding of these terms, including natural philosophy, theology, belief, and doctrine.

Arguing cogently and persuasively on a vital topic, The Territories of Science and Religion is a much-needed scholarly work.

Drawing on his wealth of historical, philosophical, and linguistic knowledge, Harrison provides a fresh, authoritative introduction to this still all-too-often misunderstood topic. The strategy taken is historical: Harrison argues that science and religion as we now understand them are both recent concepts, and that in the past, they were more complementary than opposed.

In this way the author hopes to undermine the idea that there is an eternal and fundamental tension between the two. Superbly documented and incisively argued, this book brings a welcome new perspective on a difficult debate.

His thought has influenced academics, especially those working in communication studies , anthropology , sociology , cultural studies , literary theory , feminism , and critical theory. Harrison carefully and methodically demonstrates that this popular account is more legendary than historical.

But philosophy, as Pierre Hadot has argued, was viewed by the ancients less as a system of propositional beliefs and more as a way of life. This approach fused, rather than separated, what we today consider to be the Balkanized territories of science, ethics, and religion. All natural things have an end that they move naturally toward. Progress describes this movement, and progress is distinguished from mere change by its inclusion in a teleological framework.

Happiness is the natural end of human beings, and happiness is obtained through virtuous action. In order to act virtuously, one must cultivate, through habit, a virtuous character. Aquinas identified scientia as an intellectual virtue and religio as a moral virtue, one related intimately to interior acts of devotion and prayer rather than their outward expression.
