The startling success of the religion-science discussion in recent years calls for reflection. Have old walls been broken down, old antagonisms overcome? Have science and religion finally been reconciled? Or is all the activity just so much sound and fury, signifying nothing? Postmodern equations of scientific and religious beliefs disregard a number of enduring differences that help make sense of the continuing tensions. Yet the skepticism of authors such as John Caiazza is also ungrounded. I describe five major types of approaches that are being employed in the recent literature. These methods have led to a deeper understanding of the commonalities between science and religion and have produced new productive partnerships between them.

Whitehead's book on education (1967) has been extensively discussed. Interest has centered on his analysis of the three phases of learning: romance, precision, and generalization. There have been useful efforts to correlate what he says on these points with his later technical description of the phases of concrescence of actual occasions. Still more can and should be done along these lines.
    I am proposing to supplement this approach by a move in the opposite direction. I want to begin with his discussion of phases of concrescence and move from them to a consideration of teaching and learning. I will focus on what Whitehead says about propositions and propositional feelings, but I will discuss other phases of concrescence also.
    It should be recognized at the outset that the phases of concrescence cannot in fact be separated. The physical feelings of the conformal phase, to which I turn first, actually exist only as part of the whole concrescence and its satisfaction. Teaching and learning concern this totality as a totality. Nevertheless, it is possible to accent the contribution to this totality of distinct elements within it. A teacher who is aware of these diverse contributions can direct the learner into activities that emphasize one or another of them.
