The role of science, ethics and faith in modern philosophySUMMARY: Oddly enough, in the end of the 20th century, even agnostic cosmologists like Stephen Hawking, who is often compared to Einstein – ask metascientific questions concerning a Creator and the cosmos, which science itself is incapable of answering. Modern brain science, for example Roger Penrose's Shadows of the Mind (1994), is only beginning to explore the relationship between the brain and the mind – the physiological and epistemic relationship. Galileo believed that God's two books, Nature and the Word, could not be in conflict, because both have a common author: God. This implies in particular that science and faith constitute two paths leading to the Creator God. David Granby recalls that in the past, science and religion were seen as complementary enterprises, each scientific advance confirming the greatness of a higher God-Intelligence. Are we then on the threshold of a new era of fruitful dialogue between science and religion, mediated by philosophy in the classic sense of the term? In this article, I explore this question in more detail. The thesis of this essay is that philosophy finds itself at an important crossroads at the end of the 20th century in its role as helpedeia – philosophy educating humanity. An unprecedented challenge and opportunity for philosophy today is to mediate and improve understanding of the relationship between science, ethics, and faith. A central question arises: what can be the contribution of philosophy to the emerging dialogue between science and theology? The emerging science-theology dialogue is characterized by complexity and considerable confusion about appropriate methodologies, goals, and possible interactions.
