Lecture and Panel Discussion on Emergence and the Sacred at Swarthmore College,  featuring Stuart Kauffman, Founder of the Santa Fe Institute, Systems Theorist, Harvard University School of Divinity, and University of Calgary

Thursday, Feburary 4th, 4:30 Science 101
THE EMERGENCE OF THE SACRED
What constitutes the sacred and can science preserve and expand the
concept of the sacred in current society?

Friday, February 5th, 5:00 Science 199
PANEL DISCUSSION ON EMERGENCE
Does modern physics and biology show that order can be easily
generated as a property of matter and that complex dynamic systems
form naturally and easily? What does this mean to our concepts of
matter, life,  evolution, and political economies? Dr. Kauffman will
be joined by Alan Baker (Philosophy, Swarthmore), Paul Grobstein
(Biology; Bryn Mawr) and  Charles Dyke (Philosophy, Temple) to look at
one of the major changes in science in this new century.
