Martin Schmuck describes Charles Sanders Peirce's pragmatic philosophy of religion, based on common sense, as a theory which holds a comprehensive complementary view of religion and science.
Martin Schmuck describes Charles Sanders Peirce's pragmatic philosophy of religion, based on common sense, as a theory which holds a comprehensive complementary view of religion and science. Starting with a critical examination of Peirce's indeterministic evolutionary cosmology, Martin Schmuck develops an alternative »necessitarian« and naturalistic ontology, which recognizes the modern discussion about dispositions and laws of nature and presents central aspects of Peirce's philosophy, for example an objective idealism, modal ontology and a philosophy of continuity, in a new fashion. Both Peirce's »Religion of Science« and the revised naturalistic ontology are then used to realize the concept of a modern theology of Christian faith which provides a profoundly naturalistic interpretation of the Christian creed.
