What is the relationship between religious commitment and the study of nature, between theology and science? A fundamental concern that the three studies brought together in this book approach from different angles. An original thinker, unknown to many French speakers, Michael Polanyi highlights the personal commitment inherent in any act of knowledge, including the scientific enterprise. Albert Einstein sees in scientific research the exquisite fruit of the "cosmic religion". The man who can be considered the greatest scientist of the twentieth century thus gives a particularly clear answer to the question of the relationship between faith and science, an answer that deserves careful analysis. Finally, the author is interested in the fact that science frequently uses the concept of the law of nature, which is found in the Bible. Questioning the similarities and differences opens a third way of accessing interdisciplinary dialogue. Three studies highlighting the complicity between believing and knowing, thus establishing a bridge between the noble human activities of faith and scientific research.
