The NOMA of Yishayahu Leibowitz
Abstract
Stephen Jay Gould presented his position on science and religion - Non-Overlapping Magisteria (NOMA) - without justification. A detailed justification of the NOMA position can be found in the earlier work of scientist and philosopher Yishayahu Leibowitz; his work is especially interesting because it comes from a religious person. This paper summarizes Leibowitz's philosophical and theological position, and claims that his version of NOMA, and by implication similar versions of NOMA, are not applicable in science education.
