It is impossible not to note the specific approach of science, which has recently become increasingly visible in the so-called public opinion and is increasingly evident in questionnaire surveys. It turns out that the approach of people who are not engaged in scientific research clearly begins to resemble a religious one, characterized by such characteristics as: the presence of an “esoteric” language for most people (mathematics), a sense of “mystery”, an attitude towards authorities, hope associated with influencing reality Through specific actions, etc.
We are accustomed to associating science with the so-called pure reason of the kind of enlightenment. However, hasn’t science recently revealed similarities to magic that many people have repeated and in different ways? How much is the legacy of the Enlightenment in our contemporary approach to science, and how much magic is an archetype of man?
These and other issues will be discussed at the upcoming “Pro tempore – Science Dialogue” series guest meeting: A. Dottor Hub. Jacek Wojciak, Head of the Department of Epistemology at the Catholic University of Lublin and Dr. Peter Lipsky – Logic and Method and Philosopher of Science. The meeting will be chaired by Father Dr. J. c. Beda OP.
The discussion will take place – in online format – on March 9, 2022 at 19.00.
