Reinventing The Sacred by Stuart A. Kauffman
A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion
Arguing for a new scientific worldview, this work portrays the universe as inherently creative through emergence and self-organization, challenging strict reductionism. It claims the biosphere and human culture evolve via the adjacent possible in ways not fully entailed by physical laws, highlighting enablement and unpredictability. From this, it proposes a naturalized sense of the sacred grounded in nature’s ceaseless creativity, offering a basis for meaning, values, and ethics without the supernatural. It ultimately calls for re-enchanting science and embracing agency, possibility, and responsibility in an open, evolving world.
