Abstract

One of the main objectives of astrobiology is to understand the distribution of life in the universe, for microbial life, as well as for the search of extra-terrestrial intelligence, both of which would force upon us new problems in philosophy, including ethics and theology. The question of astrobiology and the humanities being such a broad topic, in the present paper we have limited our discussion of the Frontiers of Astrobiology and the Humanities to the single topic: ‘Independence of science (astrobiology) from philosophy and theology’. We have argued along the lines of this narrower thesis, but restricting our theological discussion strictly to a Judeo-Christian perspective.

天体生物学和人文科学的前沿

天体生物学的主要目标之一是了解宇宙中生命的分布、微生物生命以及寻找地外智慧，这两者都会给我们带来哲学上的新问题，包括伦理学和神学。天体生物学和人文学科是一个如此广泛的话题，在本文中，我们将对天体生物学和人文学前沿的讨论局限于一个主题：“科学（天体生物学）与哲学和神学的独立性”。我们已经沿着这个较窄的论点进行了争论，但将我们的神学讨论严格限制在犹太-基督教的角度。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Astrobiology is the peer-reviewed forum for practitioners in this exciting interdisciplinary field. Coverage includes cosmic prebiotic chemistry, planetary evolution, the search for planetary systems and habitable zones, extremophile biology and experimental simulation of extraterrestrial environments, Mars as an abode of life, life detection in our solar system and beyond, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the history of the science of astrobiology, as well as societal and educational aspects of astrobiology. Occasionally an issue of the journal is devoted to the keynote plenary research papers from an international meeting. A notable feature of the journal is the global distribution of its authors.
