About this product

Product Information

' Rocks of Ages is vintage, spell-binding Stephen Jay Gould, challenging, passionate and beguiling' The Times Writing with characteristic bracing intelligence and clarity, Gould sheds new light on a dilemma that has plagued thinking people since the Renaissance. Instead of having to choose between science and religion, Gould asks, why not opt for the golden resolution that accords dignity and distinction to both? In elaborating and exploring his thought-provoking concept, Gould delves into the history of science with stories of figures as Galileo and Darwin, and concludes that science defines the natural world, and religion our moral world.

  • The case for non-overlapping magisteria is not convincingly made despite clear evidence of Gould's considerable learning in this slightly jaded book.

    Discoloured pages and unconvincing argumentation make this book a disappointing buy, despite Gould's trademark clear prose and fine essayistic style.
