The European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT)
invites you to the Fourteenth European Conference on Science and Theology
What is life?
24-29 April 2012, Tartu, Estonia
All of us can accept the challenge and try our own take on this topic: Is life a biological, or philosophical, theological or paleoarcheological, social scientific or psychological issue, or all of it, and many others? Are the best representations of life presented by artists, are the best explanations by biosemioticians? Is life a process of dying slowly, or a prelude to something else?
There will be five plenary lectures, a panel and ample space for short paper discussions .Plenary lectures will be held by Gayle Wolochak, Stuart Kauffman, Bronislaw Szerszynski, Richard Villems and Antje Jackelén. General Assembly will meet on April 27, 14.00-15.00.

Odszedł wybitny genetyk o. Luis Archer SJ

Father Luis Archer passed away in Lisbon last October 8th . He was a pioneer on the genetics field and former President of the Ethics National Council for Sciences of Life. He was born at Oporto 85 years ago, being Jesuit along 64 years.
Luis Archer was a brilliant scientist and a great man of faith. He taught molecular genetics in 13 different universities being distinguished with the National Award 2004 in Bioethics. He also published 250 scientific articles about Bioethics and molecular genetics, coordinated four important works and wrote more than six books.
In a time where bioethics assumes an undeniable importance and claims for a fruitful dialogue involving people and knowledge, Father Luis Archer was a respected voice by the scientific community, specially during his Presidency of the Ethics National Council for Sciences of Life (1996-2001). The dialogue between science and faith became so natural and easy with him. In fact, everything is far from being so tangible and expressible as one is wishing us to believe…

Sœurs ennemies ou sœurs jumelles, servante et maîtresse ou compagnes de labeur, la foi et la raison ont été légitimement nommées « les deux ailes » qui élèvent vers la vérité (Fides et Ratio). La fécondité de la vie de l’esprit dépend de leur juste rapport : s’éclairant l’une l’autre, elles donnent à contempler « la vérité dans ses éclats ».
Philosophes, théologiens de différentes églises, exégètes, moralistes, artistes rendront compte de la manière dont leur discipline articule le rapport foi et raison. Dans un cadre de prière, les participants pourront assister à des conférences, des ateliers et des tables rondes.
