Abstract

When dealing with the issue of the relations among science, philosophy and theology, one finds several misunderstandings. One is that natural sciences essentially offend the value of the human person. Many think that the central place of empirical data in natural sciences is in disharmony with the universal tenets of both philosophy and theology. The idea that science and philosophy are necessarily in conflict is based on a misunderstanding of both science and philosophy. The actual current paradigm shifts in natural sciences opens a new field for fruitful interaction with philosophy and theology
