Conference: Science, Faith, and Superstition

June 27–29, 2024
The University Library "Svetozar Marković", Belgrade, Serbia
Conference Science, Faith and Superstition will be held from June 27th to June 29th at the University Library "Svetozar Marković" in Belgrade, Serbia. The aim of this conference is to contribute to and develop historical challenges to the prevalent understanding of science and religion wherein religion, at best, holds an insignificant place in our worldview or, at worst, is identified with superstition. The conference focuses on, but is not confined to, two historical periods: the period of late Antiquity and the period of the Renaissance through the 17th century. Both are important because of the major shifts in the understanding of the ways the natural, human, and divine intersect. The central question is how philosophers, doctors, alchemists (proto chemists), and the Church fathers in the early days of Christianity and early days of Modernity understood the purpose of the study of nature, the nature of faith, and the meaning of superstition.
