Abstract
Abstract The chapter provides a survey of the distinction between religious and philosophical reflection, and commentary on ways that have been tried in the past of relating them to each other and to science. The word ‘religion’ itself requires definition; if different people adopt different definitions then they may, on this basis, find themselves engaged in unproductive disputes. Philosophy also can sometimes misconceive what theological discourse is. This is illustrated through reactions to Thomas Aquinas. The attempt to separate science and religion as a separation between facts and meaning, process and value (‘NOMA’), is considered. The attempt has some positive features, but ultimately fails. Deism is discussed as an historical experiment which also failed.
