Overcoming reductionism and crafting a new synthesistheodicy confronting pain and suffering /[electronic resource] :by Piotr Roszak, Saša Horvat. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xii, 150 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - New approaches to the scientific study of religion,v. 142367-3508 ;. - New approaches to the scientific study of religion ;v.1..

Chapter 1. Genealogy of reductionism -- Chapter 2. Overcoming reductionism -- Chapter 3. Pain, Life, and Theodicy -- Chapter 4. Pain and Suffering -- Chapter 5. Evolution, Pain, and the Quest for Understanding -- Chapter 6. God and Pain -- Chapter 7. Future of theodicy.

This book explores and sheds light on the contemporary discourse between science and religion. Employing the methodological approach of modern science, Overcoming Reductionism aims to explain natural phenomena not in isolation from philosophical or theological interpretations. The book then focuses on the concept of pain. Although pain is a phenomenon familiar to all humans, defining it exclusively in terms of nociception proves challenging. This book therefore delves into the intricate nature of the phenomenon, critically acknowledging the way pain profoundly influences the construction of one's existential meaning, particularly concerning matters of faith. The age-old quandaries of pain, suffering, and evil have troubled humans for countless generations. Perhaps never before have scientific inquiry and theological reflection experienced such a deep connection as in these times. Horvat and Roszak demonstrate the benefits of adopting a holistic approach while acknowledging the limitations of reductionist views. The reader will find here a meaningful quest for answers to profound existential questions while exploring uncharted territory. - -Professor John Anthony Berry (University of Malta) I highly recommend reading the book. Written in a clear, compact, rigorous and consistent manner, it develops one of the most intriguing and decisive problems of human existence: pain and suffering. An inexhaustible issue that needs to be permanently updated and re-signified at the pace of scientific advances and cultural changes, something that the authors Horvat & Roszak carry out in this book in a masterful way. -Professor Leandro Gaitán (University of Navarra)
