Abstract

ABSTRACT Scientific realism and anti-realism, in various forms, frame many philosophical discussions about what constitutes a successful scientific theory. This paper explores this within an Islamic framework by examining the Sunnī theological tradition's various divine action models (DAMs) for their possible impact upon the theological reception of scientific realism and anti-realism, concluding that the tradition would be committed to an agnostic stance on the question. This enables the tradition to remain relevant to a broad spectrum of future scientific developments and changing intellectual currents.

从Sunnī神圣行动模式看科学现实主义与反现实主义

科学现实主义和反现实主义以各种形式，构成了许多关于什么是成功的科学理论的哲学讨论。本文在伊斯兰框架内探讨了这一点，通过考察苏尼神学传统的各种神圣行动模式（DAM）对科学现实主义和反现实主义神学接受的可能影响，得出结论，该传统将在这个问题上坚持不可知论立场。这使得这一传统能够与未来广泛的科学发展和不断变化的知识潮流保持相关性。

The primary editorial goal of Theology and Science is to publish critically reviewed articles that promote the creative mutual interaction between the natural sciences and theology. While the journal assumes the integrity of each domain, its primary aim is to explore this interaction in terms of the implications of the natural sciences for constructive research in philosophical and systematic theology, the philosophical and theological elements within and underlying theoretical research in the natural sciences, and the relations and interactions between theological and scientific methodologies. The secondary editorial goal is to monitor and critically assess debates and controversies arising in the broader field of science and religion. Thus, Theology and Science will investigate, analyze, and report on issues as they arise with the intention of prompting further academic discussion of them.This editorial policy is formulated with the guiding confidence that a serious dialogue between science and theology will lead to a variety of new and progressive research programs, and that these in turn will yield new insights, deeper understanding, and new knowledge at the frontiers of science and religion.
