Abstract / Description of output
In this paper I concentrate principally upon Welby's paper "Truthfulness in Science and Religion" ( 1888) and Petrilli's discussion, in chapter Two of her book Signifying and Understanding ( 2009), of Welby's development "Between religion, science and philosophy: From biblical exegesis to significs." I present Welby's arguments in the light of Bruno Latour's recent Gifford Lecture series entitled, "Facing Gaia: A new inquiry into Natural Religion" (Latour 2013). I discuss the relationship of science and religion with particular reference to Latour's attempt to bring them together in dialogue. The role of translation - whether this be Latour's proposed "translation tables," or Welby's insistence upon translation as at the very heart of her significs - is also analyzed.
