The warfare of science: a quick read edition
Quick Read, Andrew Dickson White
Résumé
"A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" is a two-volume book published in 1896 by Andrew Dickson White. The book explores the conflict between science and religion throughout history. It discusses various topics such as the literal interpretation of Genesis, the opposition faced by scientists like Copernicus and Galileo, the resistance against geological theories, the belief in demonic possession and witchcraft, and the condemnation of usury. The book also highlights the flawed arguments and poor scholarship of White, who popularized the idea of an adversarial relationship between science and religion. However, recent scholarship has shown that the warfare thesis is neither useful nor accurate in describing the relationship between science and religion. Historians have rejected the myths propagated by White and other authors, such as the belief that people thought the world was flat before Columbus.
