This project draws on a dynamic group of leading and upcoming scholars to re-think the way in which we conceive of science and religion and their respective territories. The distinctive premise of this project is that it does not presuppose that ‘science’ and ‘religion’ are natural kinds. Rather, science and religion have been defined and constructed within a distinctive temporal and cultural context to perform separate (or competing) functions, and the way those natures and territories are defined have far reaching consequences.
