Science and Religion in Early Modern Europe

这个项目旨在阐明早期现代科学，早期现代宗教的性质，以及它们之间的关系。 一个主要的重点将是从中世纪的科学（scientia）和宗教（religio）的内在美德的概念，科学和宗教作为知识和实践的机构的现代理解的转变。 这种转变是现代科学出现的基础，并使科学与宗教之间的新型关系成为可能。这是西方独有的。 该项目将加强我们对科学兴起的理解，并确定现代西方文化的独特特征。

This project seeks to elucidate the nature of early modern science, early modern religion, and their relationship. A major focus will be the shift from medieval conceptions of science (scientia) and religion (religio) as inner virtues, to the modern understanding of science and religion as bodies of knowledge and sets of practices. This transformation was fundamental to the emergence of modern science and made possible a new kind of relationship between science and religion?one unique to the West. The project will enhance our understanding of the rise of science and identify distinctive features of modern Western culture.
