Böcker av Nancey Murphy

In this book, the author appropriates the term 'postmodern' to describe emerging patterns in Anglo-American thought and to indicate their radical break from the thought patterns of Enlightened modernity for all areas of academia, especially philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, and ethics.

Ellis and Murphy show how contemporary sciences actually support a religiously based ethic of nonviolence, not by appealing to the Enlightment's mechanismic Creator God or revelation's Father God but by discerning the transcendent ground in the laws of nature, the emergence of intelligent freedom, and the echoes of "knoetic" self-giving in cosmology and biology.
