Abstract

The short monograph Creative Nature (Francisco Javier Novo, Ruben Pereda, and Javier Sanchez-Canizares. 2018. Naturaleza Creativa. Madrid: Rialp.

创造性本质回顾(第三部分)

短篇专著《创造性的自然》(弗朗西斯科·哈维尔·诺沃、鲁本·佩雷达和哈维尔·桑切斯-卡尼萨雷斯著)。2018. Naturaleza Creativa。马德里:Rialp。ISBN: 978-84-321-4916-0。196页(平装本，14.25欧元)是自然哲学的一个受欢迎的贡献，它产生于作者之间的跨学科对话，他们都是最新的科学文献和深深植根于西方知识传统。在这篇评论文章的第三部分，也是最后一部分，我以《创造的自然》为出发点，发展了我们与自然世界关系的神学综合。我理解自然之恶的方法借鉴了亚里士多德-托马斯主义的形而上学传统。我强调将自然视为一个整体，避免拟人化的智慧，以便与我们共同的家园和平相处，并感到我们属于一个温馨的世界。我从圣保罗写给歌罗西书和以弗所书的信中对宇宙救赎的教导中汲取灵感，将超自然信仰的光芒照耀在我们与自然世界的关系上。这种方法说明了一个健全的自然哲学和圣经解释对于信仰-科学对话是至关重要的。短篇专著《创造性的自然》(弗朗西斯科·哈维尔·诺沃、鲁本·佩雷达和哈维尔·桑切斯-卡尼萨雷斯著)。2018.

期刊介绍： "Scientia et Fides" (SetF) is an open access online journal published twice a year. It is promoted by the Faculty of Theology of Nicolaus Copernicus University, in Torun, in collaboration with the Group of Research “Science, Reason and Faith” (CRYF), at the University of Navarra. The journal is characterised by the interdisciplinary approach, multiplicity of research perspectives and broad reflection on methodology as well as analysis of the latest publications on the relationship between science and faith. The tasks of the journal are perfectly expressed by the motto "Veritas in omnibus quaerenda est" ("to seek the truth in all things") from "De revolutionibus" by Nicolaus Copernicus. SetF aims to present rigorous research works regarding different aspects of the relationship between science and religion. For this reason, SetF articles are not confined to the methodology of a single discipline and may cover a wide range of topics, provided that the interdisciplinary dialogue between science and religion is undertaken. The journal accepts articles written in English, Spanish, Polish, French, Italian and German which will be evaluated by a peer-review process.
