Quotes by Thomas Dixon (?)

“As the philosopher of science Nancy Cartwright has put it, what modern science seems to show is not that we live in a world governed by a single systematic set of natural laws that apply at all times and in all places, but rather that we live in a ‘dappled world’ in which pockets of order emerge, or can be made to emerge, using a patchwork of different scientific theories (from physics, to biology, to economics), none of which is applicable across all domains.”
― Thomas Dixon, Science and Religion: A Very Short Introduction

“Happiness’ is sometimes used, for instance, to translate the ancient Greek eudaimonia, a term for human flourishing. To achieve eudaimonia was to live successfully, which, for Aristotle and others, meant living in accordance with virtue and reason.”

“The idea that there was a ‘Scientific Revolution’ between 1500 and 1700 and that this marked a definitive moment of separation between science and religion was, as Margaret Osler shows, the creation of nineteenth-century positivists and twentieth-century historians, who read their own secularist aspirations and experiences back into the history of the sciences during a period when they were, in fact, pursued in a climate of diverse, serious, and vibrant theological concern.”
