Lectures in Theology and Science. Historical and Philosophical Perspectives
Kalle Oskari Juurikkala, Giuseppe Tanzella-Nitti
Orario: Mer 5ª-6ª
The course intends: a) to examine those contemporary scientific results and perspectives that seem to challenge our religious and theological worldview, and b) to show the significance of the discourse on God in scientific culture. The faith in God the creator of heaven and earth and the Christian proclamation of the Incarnation of the Word are assessed against the background of our knowledge of the physical cosmos, and of the evolutionary history of life and humankind on earth. The course includes both an epistemological perspective, preliminary to the dialogue between science, philosophy and theology, and a historical perspective, useful to highlight the history of the ideas involved in these three fields of knowledge. The course aims at providing an example of a Fundamental Theology in Scientific Context and is organized by the Interdisciplinary Center for Religion and Science (disf.org - inters.org).

Platonic Wisdom and the Origin of Political Philosophy
Caitlin Smith Gilson
Orario:
Through a close reading of Plato’s Republic and Laws we seek to lay the groundwork for subsequent analyses of Aristotle, St. Thomas, Social Contract thinkers, and postmodern interpretations of the human person. Most acutely, we address how politics involves a deeper accounting of the meaning of a practical science and whether the polis secures its identity by affirming or denying divine meaning within the individual and within society. Discussion will center on foundational political principles, especially the ideas of goodness, freedom, obligation, virtue, and law. Political thinking must resolve itself into a fundamental relationship between the notion of a personal moral good, and its connection and application to society, law, and religion. Finally, is there a difference between wisdom and thought and if so, what role must each have in the polis?

Reasonable affections. Passions and virtues in St. Thomas Aquinas
José Angel Lombo
Orario: Lun 5ª-6ª
This course aims to provide a comprehension of the role of passions in moral life according to St. Thomas Aquinas. The general frame is the understanding of the complex unity of human being as soul and body, reason and senses, cognition and tendency. Human passions will be then described as sensitive tendential activities that participate in reason. After it, we will expose the idea of virtue, how it is formed, and its relevance in forging moral character. Finally we will connect passions and virtues in the complex unity of human behavior to show how can we speak of a rational order of the affective sphere.

The Mystery of the Trinity and New Evangelization
Giulio Maspero
Orario: Lun 5ª-6ª
The magisterium of Pope Francis continues to push for an outgoing Church capable of a new evangelisation. This course aims to provide some fundamental theological elements to carry out this mission, in particular with regard to the Trinitarian doctrine. In fact, it is an absolutely shared opinion at both theological and ecclesial level that the crisis in the evangelising activity is linked precisely to the loss of a view of the concrete life of the human being illuminated by the Trinitarian faith. In fact, it is only from the ability to show the significance of faith in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit that we can make our contemporaries perceive the power of attraction of the Church's proclamation, which in the change of era we are experiencing is essential to preserve our humanism in post-modernity.
