Boyle s remarks quoted above remain, in my view, as valid as ever. Science can affect more than just the knowledge leg of the classical triad of truth, beauty, and goodness. Like art, it establishes connections between the virtues. Perhaps the integration of science and religion as individual callings can be elaborated into a broader ethical integration of religion and science in dialogue. Although Kant rejected the classical arguments for the proof of God, he advanced an ethical argument based on moral and natural law.
Natural law is written in the heavens and in our hearts.
Following Kant, by using our hearts as well as our minds, perhaps we can discern our callings to God and mankind. Augustine, City of God, Book XIX, Chap. Ramsey, p. 114. John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion. The Merton Thesis, ed.
