The Third Edition of the Expanded Reason Congress brings together researchers and teachers who, from their particular sciences, ask themselves in depth questions about the reality they are studying, taking into account anthropology, epistemology, ethics and the meaning underlying what they are researching or teaching.
The Congress is framed within the celebration of the Third Edition of the Expanded Reason Awards. Both are born from the proposal of Benedict XVI, to put the particular sciences in dialogue with philosophy and theology in order to reach an integrating knowledge that avoids the deep division of knowledge and the excessive specialization that exists in the university environment today. This proposal allows for an overall vision that gives meaning to each specific science and puts it in relation to its main end, the human person.
It is a question of seeking a broad knowledge, not as a question of the quantity of knowledge, but about the fullness and depth of that which is known, giving each science the authority that corresponds to its field and category, without leaving aside the ultimate meaning that gives reason and unity to the specificity of each one of them.
Both the Congress and the Awards insist on this way of using reason in the knowledge that the beauty of the study of particular sciences in the University lies in man’s desire to understand himself and the reality that surrounds him. It is a desire that uncovers an even greater desire: to achieve what is the truest way of looking at, understanding and living reality.

13:30 COCKTAIL
ROUND TABLE 1 - VIDEO GAMES The video game, a consumer or entertainment product, begins to fight to be considered as a cultural work, as art. The prestige of art has to do with its purpose and its effects, associated since Antiquity with catharsis, the purification of passions, the recognition of one’s own identity. Both Humanities and art have always been justified as ways of humanizing life, of exploring the meaning of life or man’s relationship with himself, with the world, with God. Is there something similar to this in the field of video game production? Do both pursue the same purpose?
