Institute for the Study of Nature: Summer Seminar and Conference
The Institute for the Study of Nature is an intellectual agora, a locus of discussion, debate, and cooperation for people reconsidering the question, “What is Nature?” For centuries modern empirical science has provided privileged answers to that question, answers typically given in terms of mechanism, mathematicism, and reductionism.  But a growing number of thinkers are reconsidering this conception of Nature and the role of modern science in its development.

ISN will sponsor a separate seminar and conference this summer for people interested in reconsidering the accepted conception of Nature, and they invite you to join them.  Both summer programs are open to non-scholars, although the seminar is likely more appropriate to non-scholars, while the conference is more appropriate to scholars or those with some philosophical preparation.

Aquinas, which might be very enticing to faculty members!
