The 44th annual research seminar of the Association of Christian Philosophers of India (ACPI) will take place at the St Joseph Vaz Spiritual Renewal Centre, Old Goa. The October 23 to 25 addresses the theme: “Philosophizing Science: Promises, Perils and Possibilities.”

The seminar will be co-hosted by the Indian Institute of Science and Religion (IISR), Delhi.

Goa and Daman Archbishop Filipe Neri Antonio Sebastião do RosárioFerrão is the chief guest and inaugurate the seminar. Jesuit Father Job Kozhamthadam, director of IISR, will deliver the keynote address.

The theme “Philosophizing Science” has to do with the philosophical critique of science from diverse yet wholesome Indian and Christian perspectives, according to Jesuit Father Keith D’Souza, president ACPI.

The subtheme “Promises, Perils and Possibilities” lends itself to discussions on positive, dysfunctional and futuristic aspects of various features and disciplines of the scientific enterprise.
