Description
Summary:Abstract. Abstract. While the general territory mapped by the founders ofthe Center for Advanced Study in Religion and Science and Zygonremains the same, how one delineates the contpurs of this territorydepends partly on personal histories and on whether one is atheologian, a scientist, a scholar of religious studies, or a philoso-pher. However, the pluralism in the CASIRAS-Zygon communitycan be placed in a more comprehensive, evolutionary framework, in which the different approaches exert cultural selection pres-sures on each other. The most important selection pressure ishaving to make scholarly work usable by nonscholars seekingmeaning for their lives in a scientific age.
