Abstract

After a brief presentation of the status quaestionis of the current relationship between science and ethics, the article explores the particular reasoning of E. Wilson on the relation between science and religion. According to Wilson, the desirable overcoming of the distinction between experimental science and humanities is worthy of the Consilience, by virtue of which it renders possible a great synthesis, a new unity of knowledge, whose most conspicuous fruit is a form of secular religion: the religion of evolution
