Workshop Science, Faith and Superstition will be held from May 30th to June 1st at Tempus Hall, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. This event aims to develop historical challenges to the prevalent understanding of science and religion, wherein religion is often relegated to an insignificant place in our worldview or identified with superstition.
Lectures will be focused on two key historical periods: late Antiquity and the Renaissance through the 17th century. These periods are crucial due to significant shifts in understanding the intersections of the natural, human, and divine. Central questions include how philosophers, doctors, alchemists (proto-chemists), and Church Fathers in early Christianity and early Modernity understood the purpose of studying nature, the nature of faith, and the meaning of superstition.
This workshop is especially geared towards PhD students and early career researchers who wish to broaden their knowledge on these topics.
Schedule, talks and lecturers are provided below:
