Science, Contemplation, and Ideology
Wednesday, September 18, 2019
About Lecture:
The task of the Christian imagination in front of science is not to try and replace
it with some kind of "different" science, but bring it back to its original contemplative
and esthetic impulsive. Whenever this happens, science is purified by the incrustations
of ideology and re-energized as science. Professor Carlo Lancellotti will present
a lecture proposing a simple way Christian scientists can effectively renew the practice
of science.
Carlo Lancellotti, PhD.
