SUMMARY:Religious Origins of Modern Science?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nCosponsored by the Department of History and the Committee for the Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science \nIt is often thought that modern science developed largely independently of\, or even in opposition to\, religion.  Some historians\, however\, have suggested that religious factors played a key role in the emergence of modern science in the seventeenth century\, and were important in establishing a permanent and prominent place for scientific activity at the heart of modern Western culture.  This lecture explores a number of ways in which religion may have had a positive impact on the emergence and consolidation of modern science\, paying particular attention to the values needed to establish its social and intellectual legitimacy. \nCopies of The Territories of Science and Religion will be available for purchase. \nProf. Harrison will also lead a discussion for students on “The Cosmos and the Religious Quest” on Friday\, April 7.

SUMMARY:Lunch Discussion on "The Cosmos and the Religious Quest"
DESCRIPTION:Students will read and discuss Chapter 2 from Professor Peter Harrison’s book The Territories of Science and Religion (University of Chicago\, 2015) entitled “The Cosmos and the Religious Quest.” \nProf. Harrison will also give a public lecture on “Religious Origins of Modern Science?” on Thursday\, April 6. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nThe conflict between science and religion seems indelible\, even eternal. Surely two such divergent views of the universe have always been in fierce opposition? Actually\, that’s not the case\, says Peter Harrison: our very concepts of science and religion are relatively recent\, emerging only in the past three hundred years\, and it is those very categories\, rather than their underlying concepts\, that constrain our understanding of how the formal study of nature relates to the religious life. \n\nIn The Territories of Science and Religion\, Harrison dismantles what we think we know about the two categories\, then puts it all back together again in a provocative\, productive new way. By tracing the history of these concepts for the first time in parallel\, he illuminates alternative boundaries and little-known relations between them—thereby making it possible for us to learn from their true history\, and see other possible ways that scientific study and the religious life might relate to\, influence\, and mutually enrich each other.\n\n\nA tour de force by a distinguished scholar working at the height of his powers\, The Territories of Science and Religion promises to forever alter the way we think about these fundamental pillars of human life and experience.

Evans (New York: Paulist Press\, 1987)\, pp. 173-205\, and 209-78. In addition\, some other outlines and short extracts will be handed out during the Seminar. \nREQUIRED READINGS \n\nG.R.

SUMMARY:Catholic and Protestant Reformations and the Genealogy of Modernity
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nOpen to current graduate students and faculty \nAt this master class seminar\, participants will read and discuss Professor Carlos Eire’s essay “Incombustible Weber: How the Protestant Reformation Really Disenchanted the World” from Faithful Narratives: Historians\, Religion\, and the Challenge of Objectivity\, ed. Andrea Stark and Nina Caputo (Ithaca: Cornell University Press\, 2014). A PDF copy of the reading will be provided. \nThis chapter discusses how challenges to traditional beliefs about death and purgatory in the Protestant Reformation caused significant material consequences\, triggering a so-called “economic revolution.” Focusing on the issue of secularization in a present-day understanding of Protestant Reformation\, the chapter examines the concept of “disenchantment” as manifested in three distinguishing characteristics of Protestantism. First is the redefinition of how “matter” and “spirit” relate to each other\, which had led to iconoclasm and a new approach to rituals. Second is the redefinition of the boundaries between the “natural” and “supernatural” realms\, which led to the denial of mystical ecstasies. Lastly\, there is the separation of the living from the dead\, which led to a reconfiguring of conceptual and socioeconomic structures. \nSCHEDULE \n9:30am   Arrive\, continental breakfast \n10:00am   Session I \n11:25am   Break \n11:35am   Session II \n1:00pm   Buffet Lunch \n2:30pm   Close

SUMMARY:The Only Way To Truth Is By Love
DESCRIPTION:A lecture on the occasion of the publication of Believing In Order To See (Fordham University Press\, 2017). Copies of the book will be available for purchase. \nCosponsored by the Theology and Religious Ethics Workshop and the Seminary Coop Bookstore. \n\n“Non intratur in veritatem nisi per caritatem” -St. Augustine\nBelieving does not always mean to make up for a deficit of knowledge\, but rather attaining the right stance to see that which appears. This rule applies not only to common perception\, but most of all to what Pascal\, following St. Augustine\, calls “divine things.” In faith\, as in beholding a beloved or a work of art\, what you see depends on how you stand in front of it.
