ABSTRACT
Scientific endeavour consists of two quests that must be pursued simultaneously: the quest for new knowledge about the space-time world and a further quest to unify all such knowledge using the most powerful formalisms and the most widely applicable concepts available. In this chapter, the author has sought a wider frame of rationality to demonstrate the unity between scientific endeavour and the preconditions or foundations that support it. In so doing, they have tried to further the unity of science and theology as human endeavours in an even wider frame of rationality. The authors see that the interrelations of the foundations of scientific endeavour are more complex than the simple, linear progression of topics they have used to order the chapters of this study. The theological result is a refocusing of traditional tenets from a secular perspective a 'theology of scientific endeavour'.
