Abstract

For almost a decade Ab Flipse has been known as a scholar in the history of science. He made his debut with an excellent monograph on the then 75 years old history of the department of physics and astronomy of the VU University Amsterdam under the title Hier leert de natuur ons zelf den weg (Zoetermeer 2005). 1 Since his graduation in 2003 at the same faculty Flipse has been involved in academic research in the history of science and the relationship between science and religion in particular. In 2013 Flipse was appointed university historian at the VU University where, in May 2014, he obtained his PhD. The aim of his thesis 2 focuses on answering three questions concerning (1) the nature and content of ‘neo-Calvinist’ and ‘neo-Thomist’ scientific ideals and purposes, (2) their adoption as ‘Christian science’ by Dutch Roman Catholic and Reformed scientists and (3) understanding of the origin and practical results of their implementation in the context of contemporary changes in culture, society, and science in general. In chapters 2 to 5 the background of neo-Calvinist and neo-Thomist views on science is dealt with in more detail. As Flipse argues, both movements may be seen
