How do we know ?
Understanding in Science and Theology

Les conférenciers sont:

Lewis Wolpert , embryologist, Fellow of the Royal Society, speaks on the nature of science.
Noreen Herzfeld , theologian and computer scientist, discusses the dynamic nature of theology, thus countering science-inspired atheism.
The nature of the knower will be addressed by Peter Gärdenfors , cognitive scientist,
Willem B. Drees will relate controversies over the nature of knowledge to views of religion-and-science.

In the concluding symposium with the title Beyond Hedenius. Changing Conceptions of Knowledge, Antje Jackelén, a scholar in religion and science and as of April 2007 Lutheran bishop of the diocese of Lund, and Mikael Stenmark, Uppsala, author of Scientism : Science, Ethics and Religion, will participate. The conference is a joint conference with Sigtunastiftelsen, a beautiful conference centre near Stockholm (see www.sigtunastiftelsen.se), rooted in the student movement and ’church and society’ (e.g., Nathan Söderblom). Reception will be on Wednesday April 30, 2008 at 5 PM at Sigtunastiftelsen.

Plenary discussions offer the opportunity for all participants to engage in debate on the central issues. Short paper sessions will allow many participants to present and discuss their ideas.
