The origin, a congress in London
According to Jaume Navarro, the book exposes the deeper philosophical foundations underlying some of the most common questions at the border between science and religion, such as the reality of knowledge, and the notions of creation, life and design. From agreement with the work of Mariano Artigas, it is intended to emphasize that these are not only scientific or religious questions but also philosophical ones.
This work, published by Ashgate, has its origin in an international congress held in London, in May 2011, as a tribute to Professor Artigas. It was attended by 40 specialists from Europe, Canada and the U.S.A. It was organized by the Thomas More Institute and the CRYF.
