This 1909 volume argues that science and religion are equally indispensable facets of existence, but that each has a different role to play; only by combining the two can a full understanding of reality be developed.


Emile Boutroux

About the Author

Étienne Émile Marie Boutroux (1845-1921) was a French philosopher and historian who argued that science and religion need not be mutually exclusive.  Among his best-known works are The Contingency of the Laws of Nature (1874); Socrates, Founder of Moral Science (1883); The Idea of Natural Law in Science and Philosophy (1895); and Psychology of Mysticism (1902).
