This classic work sets out to answer this question by examining the nature and content of modern science and assessing its role in shaping Western and Muslim societies. Contributors to this volume, recognised authorities in their fields, subject science to a critical dissection and explore the relationship between science, ethical criteria and moral values. The study also examines the attitudes towards the environment in Islamic and Western cultures and attempts a synthesis between the two sharply differing world views of Islam and the West.
