Philosophizing Science: Promises, Perils & Possibilities is a collection of papers taking a critical look at the interplay between science, technology, philosophy and religion from traditional, post-modern and trans-humanistic perspectives. As Indian Christian philosophers, the contributors in this collection share both the joys and apprehensions related with the field of scientific investigation and technological invention. Like other specialized areas of social life, science and technology too are subject to several economic, political, cultural and religious forces and dictates. The neutrality and socially productive promises of science are compromised by its commodification, influenced by political and corporate power interests. How may science be redeemed, in service of the common good and respecting the bounteous yet limited nature of planetary resources? Such concerns and questions are addressed in this volume.
