THE PONTIFICAL ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES LIBRERIA EDITRICE VATICANA VATICAN CITY The misuse and destruction of the environment are also accom- panied by a relentless process of exclusion. In effect, a selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged, either because they are differently abled (handicapped), or because they lack adequate information and technical expertise, or are incapable of decisive political ac- tion. Economic and social exclusion is a complete denial of hu- man fraternity and a grave offense against human rights and the environment. The poorest are those who suffer most from such offenses, for three serious reasons: they are cast off by society, forced to live off what is discarded and suffer unjustly from the abuse of the environment. They are part of today’s widespread and quietly growing “culture of waste”.

  • El Astrofísico Británico Martin Rees Recibe El Premio Templeton 2011
    43_LeandroSEQUEIROS.qxd:Maqueta.qxd 4/6/12 12:28 Página 1157 EL ASTROFÍSICO BRITÁNICO MARTIN REES RECIBE EL PREMIO TEMPLETON 2011 LEANDRO SEQUEIROS Academia de Ciencias de Zaragoza El astrofísico británico Martin Rees, que se profesa ateo, ha recibido el Premio Temple- ton que distingue a personas que han «hecho contribuciones excepcionales sobre la dimen- sión espiritual de la vida». Este premio, que se entrega desde 1998, galardona normalmente a científicos que estudian la frontera entre la religión y la ciencia. Con anterioridad había sido concedido a la Madre Teresa de Calcuta, a Chiara Lubich, a Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a Roger de Taizé y en 2010 al biólogo español Francisco José Ayala. ¿Qué aportaciones ha hecho Rees al debate filosofía-ciencia-religión? INTRODUCCIÓN La Fundación Templeton hizo público 1 en el mes de abril de este año 2011 la concesión del Pre- mio anual que lleva su nombre al astrofísico Martin Rees 2. Este premio lo concede la Fundación creada por el filántropo millonario John Templeton, que dedica parte de sus fondos a financiar pro- yectos. Entre ellos, se cuenta la red Metanexus 3, creada en 1998, que conecta más de 300 grupos distribuidos por todo el mundo. Su objetivo es investigar y difundir el mensaje de que es necesario tender puentes entre las fronteras de las ciencias y las religiones. El Premio Templeton está considerado de mayor cuantía económico que el Nobel: 1.600.000 dólares. El documento oficial informativo expone que lo concede a Martin Rees por sus «profun- dos conocimientos sobre el cosmos que han suscitado cuestiones vitales sobre las mayores espe- ranzas de la humanidad y sus peores temores».
