https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-7227-2023-1-77-85
Abstract
Aim. To identify the limitations of science as a reason for its divergence from religion.
Methodology. The postulates of scientific and religious (teleological) traditions are compared. An attempt to level the opposition of religion and science based on the anthropic principle was made.
Results. The analysis has shown the limitations of scientific search imposed by ideology. The ideological reasons of inertia of scientific paradigms have been traced. The reduction of scientific creativity to the methods of classicism with its templates to publications is noted. Proposals for changes in scientific and ecclesiastical organization are put forward. The possibilities of anthropic principle and concepts of purpose in harmonization of scientific and religious worldviews are revealed.
Research implications. The study sheds light on new horizons for expanding the interdisciplinary diversity of the fields of anthropological and philosophical knowledge. The author of the article concludes that the c1 reation of new fundamental (paradigmatic) conceptions of science is most likely on teleological grounds.
