Description
Summary:In Vol. 3, No. 1 of the journal Theology and Science, a discussion took place between Mehdi Golshani and Mikael Stenmark on the concept of “Theistic Science.” Although both have much in common, their core disagreement revolves around the possibility of value-free science. Stenmark argues that as far as the epistemic validation of fundamental scientific theories is concerned, that such validation can be metaphysically impartial. I will explore two of the critiques Stenmark presented in his counter-response, then I will examine his example of an impartial fundamental science. Finally, I will assess Stenmark's notion of “religiously relevant science” from an Islamicate philosophical perspective.
