Abstract

"Critical realism" is one of the most important positions in the current science and theology debate.  An analysis of its origin and meaning leads to the question if this position mostly propagated by physicist-theologians could miss an intrinsic feature of the personal dimension of reality.  A deeper meaning of the personal dimension sets human science apart.  Taking into account social science's insight that persons responsible for their conclusions and actions drive the process of science, the moral dimension of science has to be emphasized.  To integrate these aspects into a coherent position, a more differentiated epistemological model is needed.  The solution propsed in this paper is to modify critical realism to constructive-critical realism.  Theologically interpreted, constructive-critical realism remembers humankind's purpose to shape nature in cooperation with God and with the means of culture toward increasing realization of freedom in relationship.  The argument is widely influenced by an analysis of the works of John Polkinghorne.
