Summary "Religion and Science from Galileo to Bergson" by J. C. Hardwick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the complex relationship between scientific advancements and religious thought, highlighting the intellectual struggle that has unfolded from the Renaissance through the modern age. The author aims to illustrate how mankind’s intrinsic religious tendencies interact with and are affected by the development of systematic scientific knowledge. The opening of the book sets the stage for a discussion on the definitions of religion and science, proposing that religion is essentially an "attitude toward life" while science represents "accurate and systematic knowledge." Hardwick suggests that understanding the interplay between these two realms is crucial for addressing contemporary religious questions. He notes historical periods of harmony between religion and science, as well as times of conflict, and posits that as science progresses, it can significantly influence religious beliefs and attitudes towards existence. This discussion leads into a broader examination of historical thinkers and their contributions to these fields, establishing a thematic foundation for the chapters that follow.
