Philosopher of biology Michael Ruse (1940-2024) was a leading voice in the "science and religion" debates of our times. While himself a "nonbeliever," he contended that an informed and intelligent person can be perfectly "religious," even in this age of science. He argued for a "middle" position with regard to matters of faith and science, particularly with respect to evolutionary biology. Ruse sought a more peaceful or irenic resolution to tensions between biology and religion than those offered by intelligent design. Moreover, he became a highly productive theorist of spirituality and values prior to his untimely death.In this volume leading academics enter into critical but appreciative engagement with different areas of Ruse's scholarly work. This is a perfect companion volume to Reading Ruse, which it is designed to fit alongside.
