Can a scientist believe in God?

GOETHE-INSTITUT
About this episode

What subjects did Kant explore in his works? What questions did he seek to answer? In our seventh episode of Kant Talk 2.0, we discuss Kant’s position on religion given the fact that he was a philosopher of the Enlightenment, which was an era that emphasized the power of Reason and Science.

We are joined by Dr. Krista Thomason, a Kant specialist who is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Swathmore College in the United States with whom we discuss these questions.

Tune in for our discussion on what would Kant say about science and religion!
