Subtitulo: The Ambivalence of Science

Descripción:
In this dissertation, Eduardo Cruz offers a brilliant and original study of science in Latin American culture that is a quintessential example of the ‘theology of culture’ methodology that Paul Tillich and Langdon Gilkey have bequeathed to us. Cruz stands as a third-generation representative ofthis way ofdoing theology -all the more suggestive because he extends their program to cultural phenomena with which they were unacquainted, his own culture of Latin America, and he works from his own Roman Catholic theological resources, thus augmenting their neo-orthodox protestant tradition.

What the author has produced stands as the most forceful and comprehensive theological interpretation of science as a cultural force in Latin America yet to appear. Furthermore, although it grows specifically out of his own cultural experience, and even though it is not directly transferable to other cultures, its investigations and conclusions transcend their Latin American roots. He propounds a thesis concerning the relationship between science and culture, namely that it is marked by ambivalence at a profound level, that can profitably be examined and elaborated with respect to other cultures, specifically those of North America and Europe.
