The group of research in Philosophical Theology held its second course on April 21 seminar. It was given by Professor Enrique Romerales, from the Autonomous University of Madrid and the central topic was "Is the notion of resurrection of the dead coherent? "

During the same, the expert analyzed the different models of conceptualization of the idea of resurrection presented from the analytical Philosophy of religion in recent years, such as those proposed by Peter van Inwagen, John Hick, Dean Zimmerman and Lynn Baker.

All these proposals have in common the denial of the existence of the spiritual soul and attempt to give an animalistic foundation to the idea of resurrection. Romerales explained the inadequacy of all these proposals, pointing out that without the idea of an immortal soul that guarantees individual persistence and survival, any attempt to sustain the possibility of resurrection is destined to fail. The exhibition gave rise to an enriching discussion with professors from department of Philosophy and School of Theology.

Professor Enrique Romerales works mainly in analytical Philosophy of religion and philosophical theology (on the problem of evil, divine omnipotence, God and time, etc.), in history of modern Philosophy (especially Descartes, Leibniz and Kant) and in analytic metaphysics and semantics (possible worlds, identity, identity staff, individuation, persistence of objects and, above all, vagueness). graduate and PhD in Philosophy by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, he did programs of study postdoctoral studies at Oxford University with Richard Swinburne (Oriel College, 1991). He has been visiting professor or researcher at the Departments of Philosophy at the universities of Edinburgh, with Timothy Williamson (1998), Yale, with Robert M. Adams (1999), Columbia, with Achille Varzi (2000) and New York University, with Peter Unger (2001).
