0The Emotional Brain:
From the Humanities to Neuroscience and Back Again
19-20 May 2011, Kraków
In the past, emotions and feelings belonged to the domain of the humanities. They were analyzed by philosophers and cherished by poets, while the sciences looked at them with suspicion or simply ignored them.
The 'affective revolution’ of the 1990s changed all this. Neuroscientists have showed us that emotions and feelings can be investigated with empirical methods. Moreover, they proved that the role of emotions is essential both for our perception of the world and for our social institutions. The challenge that we face today may be described as follows. Can both disciplines – the humanities and neuroscience – enrich and educate each other and close the gap between the Geisteswissenschaften and Naturwissenschaften. Or maybe it is neuroscience that will dominate the reflection over the human emotional life? Or possibly it will stay as it is: two separate disciplines, two separate methods, with no real point of contact?

Martin Rees – 2011 Templenton Prize Winner
0Martin J. Rees, a theoretical astrophysicist whose profound insights on the cosmos have provoked vital questions that speak to humanity’s highest hopes and worst fears, has won the 2011 Templeton Prize.

Rees, Master of Trinity College, one of Cambridge University’s top academic posts, and former president of the Royal Society, the highest leadership position within British science, has spent decades investigating the implications of the big bang, the nature of black holes, events during the so-called ‘dark age’ of the early universe, and the mysterious explosions from galaxy centers known as gamma ray bursters.
In turn, the “big questions” he raises – such as “How large is physical reality?” – are reshaping crucial philosophical and theological considerations that strike at the core of life, fostering the spiritual progress that the Templeton Prize has long sought to recognize.

Inicjatywa dialogu z niewierzącymi w Paryżu
0Parvis des Gentils
Deux jours d’échanges et de dialogues entre croyants et non-croyants
24-25 mars 2011
Le Conseil Pontifical de la Culture organise, avec l’Institut catholique de Paris, le lancement d’une nouvelle structure de dialogue entre croyants et non croyants, appelée le Parvis des Gentils. Celle-ci, sur une suggestion du pape Benoît XVI, est destinée à construire un espace de dialogue « avec ceux pour qui la religion est une chose étrangère, pour qui Dieu est inconnu, et qui, cependant, ne voudraient pas rester simplement sans Dieu, mais l’approcher au moins comme Inconnu ».
Le Parvis des Gentils sera le support d’activités diverses : plusieurs grands colloques par an (Bologne au printemps 2011 ; Stockholm à l’automne 2011), l’écriture en commun de pièces de théâtre ou la réalisation d’œuvres d’arts, des rencontres (ex. avec ceux qui ont subi un athéisme d’Etat et cherchent des voies nouvelles en Albanie, 2011).
Paris a été choisi comme lieu symbolique fort pour inaugurer cette structure. Ainsi, les 24 et 25 mars 2011, trois sites de prestige – l’UNESCO, la Sorbonne et l’Institut de France – permettront à plusieurs hautes personnalités du monde de la culture de dialoguer autour du thème « Lumières, religions, raison commune ».
