The dawn of the new image of science, since Galileo, has called into question the Aristotelian concept of science and, thus, the old claim of the scientific profile of theology. This work deals with the idea that theology is not a science. Using Karl Popper's critical rationalism, it searches for explanations as to why it is difficult, if not impossible, for (Catholic) theology to be (regarded as) a science; and why it is still possible to speak of rationality in the context of Catholic theology.
The emergence of the new image of science since Galileo has posed a significant challenge to the Aristotelian notion of science, thereby questioning the traditional assertion of the scientific nature of theology. This scholarly endeavor delves into the notion that theology cannot be classified as a science. Employing Karl Popper's critical rationalism, the work aims to explore the reasons behind the challenges faced by (Catholic) theology in being regarded as a science and to investigate the possibility of maintaining rationality within the realm of Catholic theology.
The historical shift towards the new image of science, initiated by Galileo, has brought about a profound interrogation of the Aristotelian concept of science. This transformation has also called into question the longstanding claim of the scientific profile of theology. Within this academic exploration, the central theme revolves around the notion that theology cannot be categorized as a science. By employing Karl Popper's critical rationalism, the work endeavors to provide insights into the complexities that hinder the recognition of (Catholic) theology as a scientific discipline. Furthermore, it seeks to explore the ongoing relevance of rationality within the context of Catholic theology.
