There is a means of acquiring  knowledge about this domain, which is the human mind with its tool of reason.  The modern era has been distinguished by an ever increasing  acquisition of information and the technological wonders it has produced are inextricably bound up with the idea of human progress through material enrichment and empowerment.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The great advantage of this book is that it puts together texts of authors(scientists, philosophers and theologians) whose lucidity about modern science goes far beyond emotional reaction and moralist subjectivity; and this ‘tour de force’ is accomplished from within the point of view of the main traditional religions.  Here, Science and Faith are reconciled in an unexpected way: scientific objectivity is not an issue; but the real issue, where one sees no proof of progress, is whether man is capable of using modern science properly. A must for the reader who wants to sharpen his or her discernment about modern science.”\u003cbr\u003e\t\t    Jean-Pierre Lafouge, Marquette University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Writing as an active research scientist, living in the present Culture of Disbelief created (partly unwittingly) by the science establishment,  I can think of no Research and Development project more significant to the future of humanity than putting ‘science’ back into its proper place as a part of culture, but not its religion.  This book is an excellent contribution to that paramount goal.”\u003cbr\u003e\t\t Rustum Roy, Even Pugh Professor of the Solid State,\u003cbr\u003e                                  Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003eGiovanni Monastra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Wake of the fall\u003cbr\u003eFrithjof Schuon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSacred and Profane Science\u003cbr\u003eRene Guenon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Cosmology and the Modern World\u003cbr\u003eTitus Burckhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReligion and Science\u003cbr\u003eLord Northbourne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary Man, between the Rim and the Axis\u003cbr\u003eSeyyed Hossein Nasr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristianity and the Religious Thought of C.
