Abstract

Depuis des siècles, les connaissances scientifiques interpellent certains aspects des religions. La confrontation reprend aujourd’hui vigueur, notamment à propos de la création du monde et de l’homme par Dieu. Ce volume emprunte la voie d’un débat rationnel en évitant de l’enfermer dans un affrontement aveugle entre croyants et athées. Des scientifiques de la nature présentent la théorie de l’évolution et de l’hominisation ; leurs propos parlent de théories scientifiques et non pas de doctrines. Des théologiens et exégètes, chrétiens et musulmans, proposent leur approche des récits fondateurs relatifs à la création de l’homme et formulent leur manière de comprendre l’idée de création, notamment face aux discours des sciences. Des auteurs venant des sciences humaines éclairent par leurs analyses les débats contemporains. Les sciences ne cesseront d’interpeller la question du sens, celle qui concerne l’être humain dans le cosmos. Cette question mérite plus que l’affrontement entre des vérités toutes faites. Car personne ne dispose de toutes les réponses.

Abstract

In the middle of the fourteenth century, the Franciscan friar John of Rupescissa sent a dramatic warning to his followers: the last days were coming; the apocalypse was near. Deemed insane by the Christian church, Rupescissa had spent more than a decade confined to prisons—in one case wrapped in chains and locked under a staircase—yet ill treatment could not silence the friar's apocalyptic message. Religious figures who preached the end times were hardly rare in the late Middle Ages, but Rupescissa's teachings were unique. He claimed that knowledge of the natural world, and alchemy in particular, could act as a defense against the plagues and wars of the last days. His melding of apocalyptic prophecy and quasi-scientific inquiry gave rise to a new genre of alchemical writing and a novel cosmology of heaven and earth. Most important, the friar's research represented a remarkable convergence between science and religion.In order to understand scientific knowledge today, Leah DeVun asks that we revisit Rupescissa's life and the critical events of his age—the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, the Avignon Papacy—through his eyes. Rupescissa treated alchemy as medicine (his work was the conceptual forerunner of pharmacology) and represented the emerging technologies and views that sought to combat famine, plague, religious persecution, and war. The advances he pioneered, along with the exciting strides made by his contemporaries, shed critical light on later developments in medicine, pharmacology, and chemistry.
