Professor Artigas has been an eminent scientist in the area of philosophy of science and a pioneer in the dialogue between science, philosophy and theology in the academic field. His publications deal with issues such as the nature and causes of evolution, the relationship between science and truth, the relationship between science and religion and the history of science. Some of his works have been translated into several languages and have aroused great interest in the academic world, both Hispanic and Anglo-Saxon.

Professor Artigas has passed on an intellectual legacy that we wish to honour and make known through the MAML. This initiative will allow a better knowledge of the work of Mariano Artigas by the guest speakers and the attendees. On the other hand, it aims to raise awareness of the importance of an interdisciplinary approach on the major issues dealt with by Artigas.

The MAMLs also aim to recognise the work done by the guest speaker. CRYF members and collaborators choose the guest speaker one and a half years in advance. The guest speaker is selected from among scientists from all over the world whose field of research is related to the main scientific interests of the CRYF:

  • Origin of man, life and the universe

  • Nature and Person

  • Mind-brain relations

  • Nature and causes of evolution

  • Order, complexity and purpose

  • Relations between science and truth

  • Relations between science and religion

  • Science and ethics

  • History of science
