I am preparing an essay on the validity of the Duhem's theories on what concerns contemporary philosophy of science.
I am mainly interested in the relation between Duhem's deep religious beliefs, and their influence in his "weltanshlauung" (his cosmological vision), as related to Science, projected to today's world.
What I would like to prove is to that his particular philosophy can NOWADAYS be used, and IS ACTUALLY by devout Catholics to give to the Scientific oriented community a balanced perspective.
Whatever material you can send me on this subject, or whatever indication concerning bibliography on this subject, will be most welcome.
