Participe na Conferência "A new look on moral reasoning" da Brotéria

Universidade Católica Portuguesa invites the academic community to attend the conference "A new look on moral reasoning", which will be held on December 2, at Brotéria, in Lisbon. 

This conference is part of the series Building Bridges, which aims to bring into dialogue topics such as natural sciences, contemporary art and moral reasoning under the premise: How can religion and the Catholic church be relevant to art, ethics, and science in order to contribute to the development of a fair and human society?

This event, which will be held in English, is dedicated to discussing the concepts of "Vulnerability" and "Recognition" in the construction of more collaborative and responsible societies.

The conference features as keynote speaker Fr. James Keenan, Vice Provost for Global Engagement at Boston College, UCP's partner institution in the Strategic Alliance of Catholic Research Universities (SACRU). Fr. James Keenan is also Director of the Jesuit Institute at Boston College, having founded in 2003 Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church, an international network of over 1500 Catholic ethicists.

Brotéria dates back to the early 20th century, when it appeared as the Portuguese Jesuits' natural sciences magazine. Today it is a cultural centre, located in Bairro Alto, which aims to cross contemporary urban cultures with the Christian faith.
