"Science and religion are often viewed as dichotomies. But although our contemporary society is often perceived as a rationalization process, we still need broad, metaphysical beliefs outside of what can be proven empirically. Rituals and symbols remain at the core of modern life. Do our concepts of science and religion require revitalization? Can science itself be considered a religion, a belief, or an ideology? Science's authority and prestige allows for little in the way of alternate approaches not founded in empirical science. It is not unusual to believe that technology and science will solve the world's fundamental problems. Has truth been colonized by science? Have scientific disciplines become so specialized and "operationally closed" that they have constructed barriers to other disciplines as well as the general public? The writers of this book set out to investigate whether the symbols of academia may in some cases take on a quality of sacrality, whether the rule of experts can be said to have the character of a "priesthood of knowledge", whether religion has a place in scientific contexts, and a selection of other questions concerning science and its relations to religious belief."--P. [4] of cover.

Richard H. Popkin (1923-2005) transformed the study of the history of philosophy in the second half of the twentieth century. His History of Scepticism and his many other publications demonstrated the centrality of the problem of skepticism in the development of modern thought, the intimate connections between philosophy and religion, and the importance of contacts between Jewish and Christian thinkers. In this volume, scholars from around the world assess Popkin’s contributions to the many fields in which he was interested. The Legacies of Richard Popkin provides a broad overview of Popkin’s work and demonstrates the connections between the many topics he wrote about. A concluding article, by Popkin’s son Jeremy Popkin, draws on private letters to provide a picture of Popkin’s life and career in his own words, revealing the richness of the documents now accessible to scholars in the Richard Popkin papers at the William Andrews Clark Library in Los Angeles.

L'Occidente fu sempre attratto dalla Cina, ma la mitica "Terra di Mezzo" rimase un mondo sconosciuto, favoloso e irraggiungibile fino all'inizio del Seicento, quando il gesuita Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) penetrò in quell'immenso Paese, facendo conoscere alla Cina la civiltà europea. Fu un altro grande gesuita a compiere l'operazione inversa, rivelando all'Europa il volto della Cina: il trentino Martino Martini (1614-1661). Questo libro vuol essere un contributo alla conoscenza di un uomo straordinario per fede, scienza, capacità oratoria, coraggio fisico, abilità diplomatica e doti d'iniziativa. Visse solo 47 anni, di cui una dozzina passati sul mare o segregato in luoghi remoti e inospitali, ma, oltre a svolgere la sua missione evangelizzatrice in Cina, riuscì a raccogliere sul Celeste Impero una mole immensa di materiale, esponendola in alcune opere che ebbero in Europa vastissima risonanza. Tra queste un Atlante della Cina di ricchezza e precisione eccezionali. Sullo sfondo, il Seicento europeo mette in scena i suoi fasti e le sue miserie: secolo abietto e sontuoso, percorso dai fremiti del nuovo e dai sussulti del vecchio, che si apre alle innovazioni scientifiche più ardite e si accanisce nella cruenta repressione degli slanci riformatori, tra guerre interminabili, pestilenze e devastazioni, ma anche una straordinaria fioritura artistica e culturale. Dall'altra parte del mondo, in Cina, il Seicento fu altrettanto contraddittorio: insanguinato dalla feroce guerra di successione tra la vecchia dinastia dei Ming e la nuova dei Ching, fu tuttavia un'epoca di grande rinnovamento della civiltà cinese, che sfociò in un singolare amalgama di cultura letteraria, saggezza amministrativa, ritualità e credenze popolari, senza contare le millenarie tradizioni scientifiche e tecniche su cui si innestarono le grandi innovazioni matematiche, astronomiche e cartografiche europee, introdotte dai gesuiti insieme con la pratica evangelizzatrice. Protagonista di questo fecondo incontro di civiltà e di tradizioni, propugnatore di una prassi missionaria tollerante, rispettoso della sensibilità e delle consuetudini di quel popolo così fiero e civile, Martino Martini seppe interpretare il proprio apostolato con saggezza ed equilibrio, ma anche con rigore e disciplina. Nominato mandarino, esercitò la carica con dignità e decoro, al punto di diventare cinese egli stesso, per lingua, costumi e abiti, pur senza rinunciare in nulla alla sua fede.
