CJMA / ACJM - Bulletin 5 CONFERENCES/ANNOUNCEMENTS October 26-27, 2006 - The Netherlands, University of Leiden Theme: Religion, Science and Public Concern: Discourses on Ethics, Ecology, and Ge- nomics The aim of the conference, organised by the Faculty of Theology at Leiden Univer- sity, is to bring together researchers interested in interactions between religion, ethics, and science in public discourses. In reflecting upon the social and moral jobs that speak- ers expect religious, ethical, and scientific notions to do, we may acquire a better under- standing of debates on controversial issues of public policy and on the understanding of the role of and the relation between religion, ethics, science, politics, and technology.

Much of medical practice itself was originally considered sacrilegious: the opening up of the body, the touching of women, the touching of 'private' parts of the body and many of the original medical instruments and techniques, such tasting a patient's urine, reflect these earlier concerns. With the development of organ transplantation and the commodification of both 'natural' and 'manufactured' body parts, the idea of the body as sacred is weakening, yet the concept of the sacred is still central to Western medical practice.

  • Religion-And-The-Challenges.Pdf
    RELIGION AND THE CHALLENGES OF SCIENCE Does science pose a challenge to religion and religious belief? This question has been a matter of long•standing debate • and it continues to concern not only scholars in philosophy, theology, and the sciences, but also those involved in public educational policy. This volume provides background to the current ‘science and religion’ debate, yet focuses as well on themes where recent discussion of the relation between science and religion has been particularly concentrated. The first theme deals with the history of the interrelation of science and religion. The second and third themes deal with the implications of recent work in cosmology, biology and so•called intelligent design for religion and religious belief. The fourth theme is concerned with ‘conceptual issues’ underlying, or implied, in the current debates, such as: Are scientific naturalism and religion compatible? Are science and religion bodies of knowledge or practices or both? Do religion and science offer conflicting truth claims? By illuminating contemporary discussion in the science•religion debate and by outlining the options available in describing the relation between the two, this volume will be of interest to scholars and to members of the educated public alike.

  • Philosophy Culture and Pluralism
    PHILOSOPHY CULTURE AND PLURALISM Edited by William Sweet Edited by PHILOSOPHY, CULTURE, AND PLURALISM William Sweet The themes of culture and pluralism have become increasingly im- portant in philosophical discussion, but many questions concerning pluralism and culture — the idea of culture, what is presupposed and what is at stake when different ethnic or social or religious groups attempt to promote their cultures, and the implications of this for the nature and practice of philosophy — are only rarely engaged by philosophers. To investigate these issues and related themes in the history of philosophy, in social and political philosophy, and in the philosophy of culture, the Canadian Jacques Maritain Association organized a two-day internatio- nal symposium at the Université Laval in Québec City on “Philosophy, Culture, and Pluralism / Philosophie, culture, pluralisme.” Several of the papers that appear in this volume were originally presented at that symposium; others were specially invited for this collection. These essays, which bring together the work of scholars from various parts of Canada, from the United States, and from western Europe, Asia, and Africa, allow their authors to draw on their distinctive experience and interests — but the experience of pluralism, culture, and multiculturalism in one country or part of the world clearly bears on others. Scholars in literary theory, history, sociology, and politics have long recognised this, and have been the principal participants in the discussion of issues concerning culture and pluralism. While this vo- lume also includes cultural theorists, theologians, political scientists, and sociologists, most of the contributors are philosophers, and so this volume shows how philosophers see their contribution to a topic that is of international concern.

D'aucuns ont soutenu qu'il constituait « un changement complet » par rapport à la tradition libérale de Mill et Bentham. Nous réexaminons ici quelques traits de la philosophie politique de Bosanquet, tentant de montrer que son caractère prétendument con• servateur et « illibéral » est loin d'être évident.
