Synopsis
Grant (emeritus history and philosophy of science, Indiana U.-Bloomington) surveys relations between what are now called science and religion over the course of the two millennia between when Greek philosophy began being recorded systematically and when the medieval worldview was challenged. Along the way he discusses science and natural philosophy in the Roman Empire, Christian attitudes toward Greek philosophy and science, Europe after the barbarian invasions, the Medieval universities and the impact of Aristotle's natural philosophy, interrelation between natural philosophy and theology in the 14th and 15th centuries, and the Byzantine Empire and the world of Islam.
