Texts, articles and reviews with the label: 'multidisciplinarity'
Much more what unites us than what separates us
summaryComment to Juan Arana on the relationship science-religion: both are interested in the whole reality, with different approach. Precisions on the religiosity of scientists and the action of God in the world. Need for feedback between science, Philosophy and theology.

research and truth: science in the face of the challenge of "extended reason".
summaryScientific achievements dazzle the researcher. But can science arrive at the truth, and does the researcher only seek the truth? What does scientific research contribute to the construction of the expanded reason advocated by Benedict XVI?

Open Reason. A personal proposal
summary: The author's intellectual trajectory, theological and scientific knowledge (the latter in relation to quantum mechanics), the need for multidisciplinarity and the concept of open reason: openness to truth, both scientific and theological, are examined.

God in the brain? Religious experience from neuroscience
summary: Neuroscience can consider studying religious experience; this approach can also be of great interest to Theology. Both lines open a field of interdisciplinary study that allows us to reflect on Theology in relation to the sciences and as a requirement of thought.

Science and religion ("Mind and brain")
summary: historical article on the views of the last century and a half on science and religion: it examines the Anglo-Saxon views of the nineteenth century confronting science and religion, and later developments that see the non-incompatibility or complementarity of both approaches.
Author: Luis Alonso
summary: It is possible to achieve an integration of the scientific and the metaphysical perspective. They are different approaches. However, it is possible to integrate them, as long as their diversity is respected and the perspective required by each subject of problems is adopted. This article studies the methodological gap, border issues, partial overlaps and how integration should be effected.

Understanding freedom better: an interdisciplinary approach between Neuroscience and Philosophy
summary: It presents some philosophical assumptions that are influencing the neuroscientific study of freedom, as well as certain problems that arise from Neuroscience itself in its global understanding of brain functioning, neural networks and the neurobiological integration of attention, important phenomena for an adequate neurobiological understanding of freedom. He criticizes a purely reductionist view of free will. He comments on the modern concept of freedom and the need for interdisciplinarity to address these issues. He sample a subtle persistence of dualism in some of the approaches that study freedom and recovers the concept of life in the understanding of human activity.

summary: I propose to analyze the place that God occupies in our relationship with nature. My reflections are articulated in three parts: in the first I will analyze some aspects of the problem at present, in the second I will present some personal proposals that refer to the bridge that communicates the sciences and natural theology, and in the third I will allude to some particular characteristics of that bridge.

Mind and brain in contemporary neuroscience.
An approach to their interdisciplinary study
summary: The impressive development of Neuroscience in recent decades has highlighted the need to resort to multidisciplinarity to address the challenges it faces. Among them are those that refer to decisive questions for the understanding of man. This article argues that, in order to address them effectively, cooperation between the sciences must be extended beyond the realm of experimental disciplines. As an illustration of this thesis , after an introduction on the importance of Neuroscience in our days, one of the most relevant aspects for the understanding of the role played by the brain in human life and behavior is addressed: the problem of consciousness. The exhibition is structured by pointing out the framework in which this problem is posed, and then summarizing how Neuroscience and Philosophy have dealt with it. Finally, some suggestions are presented in order to fruitfully develop an interdisciplinary study that allows each of the sciences involved to adequately make its own contribution.

Science and Philosophy: A Love-Hate Relationship
summary: In this paper I review the problematic relationship between science and philosophy; in particular, I will address the question of whether science needs philosophy, and I will offer some positive (if incomplete) perspectives that should be helpful in developing a synergetic relationship between the two. I will review three lines of reasoning often employed in arguing that philosophy is useless for science: a) philosophy's death diagnosis ('philosophy is dead') and what follows from it; b) the historic-agnostic argument/challenge "show me examples where philosophy has been useful for science, for I don't know of any"; c) the division of property argument (or: philosophy and science have different subject matters, therefore philosophy is useless for science). These arguments will be countered with three contentions to the effect that the natural sciences need philosophy. I will: a) point to the fallacy of anti-philosophicalism (or: 'in order to deny the need for philosophy, one must do philosophy') and examine the role of paradigms and presuppositions (or: why science can't live without philosophy); b) point out why the historical argument fails (in an example from quantum mechanics, alive and kicking); c) briefly sketch some domains of intersection of science and philosophy and how the two can have mutual synergy. I will conclude with some implications of this synergetic relationship between science and philosophy for the liberal arts and sciences.
