John Traphagan. 2015. Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Human Imagination: SETI at the Intersection of Science, Religion, and Culture, Springer.
John Traphagan, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, examines the significance of the search for extraterrestrial life (SETI) for questions of human meaning and religion. Focuses on the relationship between science and religion as it is expressed within SETI research context, the underlying assumptions that have shaped the ways in which SETI researchers have conceptualized the nature of their endeavour, and thinking about the social impact of contact with alien intelligence from religious and cultural perspectives.
