At the recent national meeting of the Philadelphia Society, I had the honor of sharing a platform with one of the most unusual and provocative thinkers in our era—Professor Stanley L. Jaki of Seton Hall University.
Father Jaki (he is a Benedictine) is a rarity in the intellectual world, a theologian who is also a theoretical physicist. He has used the skills derived from these two disciplines to demonstrate, in a veritable one-man library of mind stretching books, the close connections that exist between the religious faith of our society and its attainments in the field of science. The conclusions emerging from this exercise amount to nothing less than a complete rewriting of our intellectual history.
