| Summary | "The Warfare of Science" by Andrew Dickson White is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the historical conflicts between scientific inquiry and religious dogma, illustrating how the struggles over scientific truths have shaped both fields. Through a series of historical examples, the narrative illustrates the detrimental impact of religious interference on scientific progress. At the start, the author lays out his thesis: religious interference in the name of preserving dogma has consistently led to negative outcomes for both science and religion. He introduces significant historical figures, such as Galileo, and recounts their battles against ecclesiastical authorities who sought to suppress scientific findings that contradicted scriptural interpretations. The opening emphasizes the intrinsic link between the pursuit of scientific knowledge and the eventual benefits it brings to human understanding and spirituality, laying the groundwork for further exploration of the ongoing conflict between these two domains.
