Willem Bernard "Wim" Drees (born 20 April 1954) is a Dutch philosopher.
[4] Drees is a past-president of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT).
John H. Brooke, historian of science and religion, concluded a review of work of the Oxford theologian Keith Ward and Drees's book: “Because he is as secure in his epistemology as in his knowledge of theoretical physics, Willem Drees should be read by all who take a scholarly interest in the discourses of ‘science and religion’.
William A. Rottschaefer argues that Drees's naturalism is seriously flawed claiming that it is both methodologically and epistemologically naturalistic.
As the Vice President for Interdisciplinary Affairs of IRAS, Drees has participated in the formulative discussions of religious naturalism.
Stone in his 2008 book Religious Naturalism Today: The Rebirth of a Forgotten Alternative cites Drees as one of the leaders of the Religious Naturalism movement along with other members of IRAS – Ursula Goodenough, Karl Peters, Connie Barlow, Michael Cavanaugh and Stone himself.
