Thematisierung von „Religion“ in der österreichischen Politikwissenschaft. Status Quo, Tendenzen und kritische Anmerkungen

This article examines the relevance of religion in the Austrian political science-landscape. Based on research conducted by political scientists Kenneth D. Wald & Clyde Wilcox (2006) and Steven Kettell (2012), who see an underexposed position of religion in USpolitical science, this article raises the question of the relevance of religion in the Journal of Austrian Political Science. A content analysis will be conducted for all volumes published between 2000 and 2015. This analysis will be compared to findings from an analysis of the Austrian Journal of Sociology. Findings show that compared to the USA, as well as to the Austrian Journal of Sociology, religion is addressed significantly more often in the Journal of Austrian Political Science. This is explained by: 1. especially engaged political scientists in the research on religion, and: 2. a comparably small size of political science landscape in Austria.

How Schrödinger’s Cat Became a Zombie

Research on cultural transfers between science and religion has not paid enough attention to popular science. This article develops models that grasp the complexities of the epidemiology of science-based representations in non-scientific contexts by combining tools from the cognitive science of religion, the history, sociology, and philosophy of science, and the study of new religious movements. The popularization of science is conceptualized as a process of cognitive optimization, which starts with the communication efforts of scientists in science-internal forums and accelerates in popular science. The popularization process narrows the range of scientific representations that reach the public domain in structured ways: it attracts minimally counterintuitive representations, minimizes the massively counterintuitive, and re-represents (or translates) hard-to-process concepts in inferentially rich metaphors. This filtered sample trigger new processes of meaning-making as they are picked up and re-embedded in new cultural contexts.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM: A PERSONAL VIEW ON THE CONTEMPORARY SCENE

AbstractThis article considers the current state of the science–religion debate in the United Kingdom. It discusses the societies, groups, and individual scholars that shape that debate, including the dialogue between theology and physics, biology, and psychology. Attention is also given to theology's engagement with ecological issues. The article also reflects on the loss of influence of denominational Christianity within British society, and the impact both on the character of the debate and the role of the churches. Finally, some promising trajectories of development for the future are outlined.

Challenging the Darwin Skeptics: Examining Proevolutionist Media Persuasion

ABSTRACTThe socio-religious skirmishes known as the Evolution Wars may have major implications for global religion, education, and popular perceptions of science. These so-called wars have witnessed the rise of several media-vocal proevolutionist organizations, which have sought to challenge Darwin-skeptic ideas and enterprises. Such proevolutionist organizations include the atheistic Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, the religiously neutral National Center for Science Education, and the BioLogos Foundation Christian advocacy group. This study executes a content analysis of media produced by these leading proevolutionist organizations from 2009 to 2011 and gauges the occurrence rates of several persuasive cues associated with the Elaboration Likelihood Model. This exercise reveals ways in which certain persuasive elements are articulated throughout proevolutionist media, and juxtaposes these observations with data previously gathered concerning Darwin-skeptic materials.

Beyond Evolution: Addressing Broad Interactions Between Science and Religion in Science Teacher Education

Science and religion are two indisputably profound and durable cultural forces with a complex history of interaction. As ASTE members are aware, these interactions often manifest themselves in classrooms and in the surrounding communities. In this essay, we encourage science teacher educators to broaden their perspectives of science–religion interactions so that they may better assist pre- and in-service science teachers with addressing topics such as the age and origins of the universe and biological evolution in an appropriate manner. We first introduce some foundational scholarship into the historical interactions between science and religion as well as current efforts to maintain healthy dialogue between perspectives that are frequently characterized as innately in conflict with or mutually exclusive of one another. Given that biological evolution is the dominant science–religion issue of our day, in particular in the USA, we next summarize the origins and strategies of anti-evolution movements via the rise and persistence of Christian Fundamentalism. We then summarize survey and qualitative sociological research indicating disparities between academic scientists and the generalPUBLIC with regard to religious beliefs to help us further understand our students’ worldviews and the challenges they often face in campus-to-classroom transitions. We conclude the essay by providing resources and practical suggestions, including legal considerations, to assist science teacher educators with their curriculum and outreach.

Generation of multiple copies of complete organism from single drop of blood during the war of Maa Kali and Raktabija and role of DNA as Panchbhutas

 The most interesting fact about cloning is that research regarding cloning was already performed thousands and thousands of years back in the era when there were no scientific instruments available but still the science and technology was too developed. This cloning was clear cut example of Biotechnology. This paper mainly establishes the relationship between religion and science. For this purpose, an example has been extracted from Shri Durgasaptashati, where the incidence of war between Maa Kali and Raktabija takes place. The process of cloning of multiple clones of Raktabija, the scientific techniques behind it, unique characteristics a of blood cells, role of media and sterile conditions and the basic components of life according to science as well as religious point of view have been explained here. This is world’s first research paper in which the direct connection between panchbhutas and DNA has been established.

L'etat, c'est moi. Fifty years of history and philosophy of evolutionary biology.

I reflect on my fifty-year history as a philosopher of biology, showing how it has taken me from rather narrow analytic studies, through the history of ideas, and now on to issues to do with science and religion. I argue that moral concerns were and still are a major motivation behind what I do and write.

ABSTRACT The learning activities is a process of discovery and experience so that the knowledge can improve students' understanding and the character. Science is often identified with the West. The Islamic education is often oriented to the future life tend to be defensive. Approach of Science and Religion (SR) is a combination of approaches concepts, process skills, inquiry, and discovery and approaches to religious values. The philosophy underlying the approach is a constructivist approach behavioristik SR, learners formulate their own concepts in cognitive structure based on their knowledge then implement the values that exist in the community surrounding and religious values. Subject of this research was a 45 students of MAN 1 Semarang academic year 2015-2016 Research was conducted in odd semester of 2015, include: 1) planning, 2) implementation, 3) observation, and 4) evaluation. The results showed a good indicator of student activity in the learning lab and discussions has been reached on the completeness of classical study on lab activities amounted to 82.44% with an average value of 81.48 liveliness, and discussions 81.86% with an average value of 82, 10 (criteria very well). Indicators student's character visits of religious attitudes, responsibility, honesty, respect, discipline, and self-contained. The conclusion were a. SR approach seeks to provide an understanding of How teach science by providing a vision of Islam in the classroom. b. SR approach applied to the learning process Biology can apply knowledge and improve the character of the students.

"What is It like to Be a Buddhist?"

Buddhism seems to be the fastest growing religion in the West both in terms of converts and of previously non-religious individuals who seek to practice various meditation techniques. What is it like to be a Buddhist in the West? How does one experience the world, how does one describe it, what world-views does one have? Does one’s experience change significantly and permanently after embracing Buddha’s teachings or is it just a temporary persona one puts on? I tried to answer these questions with the help of phenomenography and Corpus linguistics analysis. Phenomenography, a pragmatic method for doing qualitative research, aims at investigating different ways people think about a phenomenon. Its data analysis is always whole group oriented; patterns which emerge from the data are collected into categories of description [1]. Corpus linguistics, a study of large bodies of real written texts, is an empirically-based approach with the focus on the meaning; by observing the occurrence of lexical units (words, multi-word units, phrases etc.) in context we find out how they are typically used [2]. I investigated texts that 16 Buddhists (experimental group) and 16 non-Buddhists (control group) from different European countries produced when answering a questionnaire I designed for this occasion, the Questionnaire of Life Situations. Its main point is to describe feelings, thoughts, attitudes etc. about important aspects of life as vividly and as detailedly as possible. Very briefly, Buddhists seem to be a lot more compassionate and tolerant than general population; their way of thinking about the world is much more holistic and all-inclusive, to the point of overgeneralizing; they turned out to be more positive and optimistic as well as more self-assure, peaceful and calm. However, analysis of the correspondence with Buddhists via online forums and mails shed a sceptical light on the results as I have encountered quite some ill-tempered and defensive behaviour. Based on this disparity and the fact their answers were extremely imbued with main Buddha’s teachings I argue that Buddhist participants exhibited strong socially desirable behaviour and exaggerated in a sense that they used the questionnaire to promote Buddhism and teach me its virtues. The study has some disadvantages – age bias and lack of criteria for defining non-Buddhist group to say the least. But since this is a novel combination of approaches and my first exploration of this much unexplored interdisciplinary area of psychology of religion, world-view studies, and cultural issues in cognitive science, I am very satisfied with the result. In the future, it would be interesting to expand the study by getting more participants, enriching the questionnaire, and investigating different groups. !!References [1] F. Marton and S.

A contribuição da Ciência da Religião para a formação de docentes ao Ensino Religioso

Este artigo retoma a conhecida proposta tríplice de modelos de Ensino Religioso (catequético, teológico e da Ciência da Religião) para tentar justificar porque a Ciência da Religião deve ser o modelo mais coerente para fundamentar teórica e metodologicamente a prática dessa disciplina escolar. Mostra também um exemplo da contribuição que pode dar a Filosofia da Religião no processo de transposição didática dos resultados da Ciência da Religião para os conteúdos e práticas pedagógicas.
