Galileo before the Inquisition in Rome on the charge of 'vehement suspicion of heresy', for his defence of the Copernican view that the earth revolves around the sun.

Galileo before the Inquisition in Rome on the charge of "vehement suspicion of heresy", for his defence of the Copernican view that the earth revolves around the sun.

 Recent popular debates over the relationship between science and religion have too often degenerated into shouted polemics between religious fundamentalists and new atheists. Yet many of the really important historical, philosophical and theological questions call for more careful attention.

This conversation seeks to contribute to this goal, by exploring a range of questions, in particular:

  • To what extent does modern science pose a challenge to belief in the existence of God?
  • What does it mean to have ‘faith’ in an age of science?
  • Can science satisfactorily address the ultimate questions of human existence, which have   traditionally remained within the domain of religion?
  • Is religion of any use to science? Conversely, is science of any use to religion?

Many are saying that Muslims are parochial, closed-minded, and do not easily fit into multicultural, multifaith societies. Yet a contrary argument can be made that a cosmopolitan ethic is central to Islamic thought and practice.

This is the key proposition to be explored in a fascinating online forum to be chaired by Khairudin Aljunied, Associate Professor in the Department of Malay Studies, National University of Singapore. He will be joined by a distinguished panel of scholars and commentators.

Against the backdrop of violence in Africa and the Middle East, terrorist activity, and the rise of anti-Islamic sentiment in the West, the outlook for Islamic cosmopolitanism is a defining issue of our time.

Join us for this important conversation.
