Abstract

Artykuł stanowi próbę wglądu socjologicznego w problematykę imaginarium społecznego na przecięciu nauki i religii, jest głosem w dyskusji na temat roli nauki w procesach sekularyzacji. Kontynuując tradycję socjologiczną zgłębiającą rozumienie kulturowej roli nauki poprzez badania akademii, Autorka opiera analizę na materiale 100 wywiadów pogłębionych z fizykami oraz biologami z Polski i Ukrainy. Poświęca uwagę w szczególności imaginarium dotyczącemu miejsca człowieka we wszechświecie. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie istotnego zróżnicowania w tym zakresie między populacjami uczonych z Polski i Ukrainy oraz ustalenie konsekwencji, jakie ma ono dla utraty lub zachowania ich religijności. Uzyskane dane pozwalają dostrzec, że wpływ nauki jako wiedzy obiektywnej na religijność uczonych nie jest uniwersalny, lecz silnie zapośredniczony kulturowo. Zamiast poszukiwania jednej formuły tego wpływu warto zatem mówić o wielu jego kulturowo zależnych konfiguracjach.

Abstract

The relationship between science and religion, particularly their assumed conflict, has traditionally been discussed in terms of their factual or logical contradictions. The article proposes to change this perspective and to consider them both as sources of images in order to show their powerful interaction in the sphere of the imaginary. It also emphasizes that the historical and cultural context of their interaction is highly important. Based on the 66 in-depth interviews with the (post)Soviet generations of Ukrainian and Lithuanian scientists, the article reconstructs their imaginary of the Divine. Most of them have not retained their Christian belief. Instead, they created an alternative, science-related imaginary that integrated science and religion rather than put the two in conflict. The research provides evidence that the Soviet culture aimed at eradicating religion has in fact planted a seed of a religious sensibility and imaginary that was hidden under the guise of science and that has been persisting through generations.
