Vladimir Katasonov Science and Religion: New Methodological Opportunities Vladimir Katasonov - Chair Professor of Philosophy, St. Cyril and Methodius Post-Graduate Institute of the Russian Orthodox Church; Professor at the Orthodox St. Tikhon's University of Humanities (Moscow, Russia). vladimir15k@mail.ru The paper deals with logical and historical relations of science and religion. Science is dualistic: it seeks to learn the world and to dominate over it. Christianity sees the world, before all, as a display of the Divine; but faith is not just contemplation but also the way of salvation. Science is a sequence of falsified and verified theories. In religion, the knowledge of God is given in revelation, but refracted through a tradition, hence the importance of interpretation. Truth in science is a consensus of a competent community; truth in religion is also the consent with Church's dogmas but it is also ontological, a participation in God's life, a theosis. Religion and sciences have been in a constant interaction in history. The paper offers a positive strategy in dealing with these interactions - the so called "Leibnitz methodology" exploring metaphysical preconditions of scientific knowledge and finally producing a horizon for a certain natural religion. Keywords: science and religion, science and metaphysics, problem of truth in science and religion, religious roots of science, phenomenological analysis of science.
