A scientific theology?! - Naturalism and philosophy of science as challenges to catholic theology

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Benedikt Göcke
• Subject Area: Roman Catholic Theology ; Theoretical Philosophy
• Term: from 2016 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 295845819

Both analytic philosophy of science and current naturalistic thinking are full of arguments against the very possibility of a scientific catholic theology. The research group intends to structure and evaluate these arguments by way of developing fundamental elements of a catholic philosophy of science that not only is able to reject these arguments but at the same time can account for the possibility of science as such.
