This one-day workshop focuses on religious thought of philosophers in the seventeenth-century, particularly as they responded to some of the challenging questions posed by new sciences. E.g. What is the nature of God or of the immortal soul in a mechanistic universe? Are miracles possible? How should the Eucharist be interpreted? How was the religious thought of the ancient philosophers reinterpreted on the threshold of modernity? Six distinguished intellectual historians and historians of philosophy will give papers on the nature of the challenges to received reconciliations of philosophy and religion by considering Malebranche, Locke, and Spinoza among other major thinkers. The workshop itself is designed to foster discussion not only among the speakers, but also with the audience. Please check the website for useful materials to read in advance.
