O podobieństwie między poznaniem naukowym i religijnym
On Similarity Between Scientific and Religious Cognition

Summary/Abstract: Aim fo this paper was to find and explicate similarities between science and religion with respect to classical criteria of scientific cognition. The discourse was led within the following aspects: knowledge, method, language, institution and limits. The drived conclusion is that religion can be interpreted as satisfying all genral conditions of scientific enterprise. Such a conclusion is interpreted as supporting two possible thesis: (1) religion as a scientific discipline ought to be implemented into scientific enterprise in the way of interdisciplinary cooperation; (2) the presented similarity remains constructed, not discovered – there is no sense in comparing religion to science, since these two notions are too general and vague. Regardless which interpretation one would prefer, it shows, that anti-theistic arguments based on showing religion as opposed to science, do not sound.
