Cognition and artificial intelligence are entering a new era in which the aspects of symbolic manipulation and of connectionism begin to come together. This leads to a dialog of truly interdisciplinary character. The book covers aspects of fuzzy logic, case based reasoning, learning as well as meaning, language, and consciousness. The authors of this topical volume have their background in logic, computer science, physics and mathematics, philosophy, psychology and neurobiology.
La relation entre mythe et science semble aujourd'hui plus ouverte qu'autrefois. L'émergence de nouveaux mythes, issus de la rationalité moderne (mythe de la maîtrise totale de la vie, progrès infini, etc.), nous pousse à la prudence alors que l'attention portée à la prétention de vérité de la pensée mythique ressurgit. Au lieu de vouloir exorciser le mythe par la raison, il s'agit plutôt de saisir la vérité de la pensée mythique, sans perdre l'apport critique de la pensée scientifique. Plusieurs contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent de faire de l'imaginaire le point de rencontre privilégié entre " science " et " mythe ". En mars 2002, l'Institut romand d'herméneutique et de systématique (IRHS) de la Faculté de théologie de l'Université de Neuchâtel a organisé un colloque international ayant pour titre " Mythe et Science ". Le présent volume rassemble la majorité des contributions des intervenants.
"What is time? Is there a link between objective knowledge about time and subjective experience of time? And what is eternity? Does religion have the answer? Does science? Antje Jackelén investigates the problem and concept of time. Her analysis of the subject includes: The notion of time and eternity as it is narrated through Christian hymn books stemming from Germany, Sweden, and the English-speaking world, with insights into changes of the concept and understanding of time in Christian spirituality over the past few decades; Theological approaches to time and eternity, as well as a look at Trinitarian theology and its relation to time; The discussion of scientific theories of time, including Newtonian, relativistic, quantum, and chaos theories; The formulation of a "theology of time," a theological-mathematical model incorporating relational thinking oriented towards the future, the doctrine of trinity, and the notion of eschatology"--Descripción del editor.

The Mind of the Universe, written by a philosopher and physicist, provides a study in which a competent presentation of physical discoveries is combined with a rational search for philosophical presuppositions of science. An important contribution to the dialogue between religion and science, it will inspire new attempts at bridging science and philosophy in their common search for the hidden meaning of the new scientific theories.

F. Dubois analyse les défis que l'individualisation dans la société occidentale pose aux Eglises dont les structures sont essentiellement communautaires. Il s'appuie sur les pensées de C. Taylor et J. Locke pour évaluer les spécificités de l'individualisme religieux dans la configuration des individualismes contemporains, puis confronte les conceptions de R. Bultmann et de E. Levinas.
