Relationships between Science and Religion in the twenty-first Century: A Failure of the so-called “Secular Reason”?

Abstract

In this work we analyze the relationship between science and religion in the beginning of the 21st century in a context of change. The hypothesis from which we articulate the paper is that we are immersed in a failure of the so-called “secular raison”. Next, we show the aspects that in a fi rst sight illustrate this change from the point of view of religion and experimental science. Finally, we suggest some proposals to integrate in an interdisciplinary perspective this relationship, which is so important to obtain a comprehensive and profound vision of reality.
