Science and Religion in Wittgenstein's Fly-bottle, Paperback by Labron, Tim, ISBN 1441151192, ISBN-13 9781441151193, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1) once asked if the aim of philosophy was to show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle, and Labron uses the image to discuss the roles of science and religion in philosophy. Both science and religion are caught in a fly-bottle of realism, he argues, the idea that "out there" is an external reality and truth that people are discovering. The alternative is not non-realism, however, or the idea that there is no God. He looks at two forms of fundamentalism--religious (creationism) and scientific (scientism)--that he finds them to be two sides of the same coin rattling around in the fly-bottle.
