Creative Tension: Essays on Science and Religion

The voice of a renowned professor of philosophy in Poland, who is also a Roman Catholic priest, is introduced in this collection of his provocative essays on the interplay of science and religion. Michael Heller progressively outlines systematic steps that might lead to a peaceful coexistence of these traditionally separate fields of study. Some essays have their roots in the author’s work in physics and cosmology, while others present his theories on the language of God, creation and transcendence, inspired by his work in the applications of so-called non-commutative geometry, an emerging field of study.
