Description
Science, Spirituality, and Religion have separate, yet complementary, functions to fulfill in the service of mankind. Historically though, there have been unpleasant confrontations between Science and Religion, often due to confused thinking about their purport. Further adding to the confusion has been the tendency to assume that Spirituality and Religion are one and the same. In a paper to be presented at the Third SSEASR Conference, Dr. Chidambaram discusses the relationship between spirituality and religion on the one hand, and science and spirituality on the other. Spirituality, it is shown, does not conflict with Science and indeed Spirituality is itself a science. To the extent religions of the world emphasize the spiritual truths on which they are founded, there will be less occasion for conflict between religion and science or between religions.
