SUMMARY:The Public's Views of the Relationship Between Religion and Science – and the Resulting Disconnect With Social Sciences and the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I examine recent sociological research on the relationship between religion and science for the public. This research suggests that while religion may have at one time been concerned with fact claims in the natural world that could be contradicted by science\, it largely is no longer. This post-1960s development has coincided with the rise of moral conflict between religious traditions and science. However\, social science and humanities research on this relationship largely assumes that religion and science are epistemic – not moral – systems\, and thus misunderstands the situation in the public. \nJohn H. Evans is the Tata Chancellor’s Chair in Social Sciences\, Associate Dean of the Social Sciences and Co-Director of the Institute for Practical Ethics at the University of California\, San Diego. He has been a visiting member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, NJ\, a post-doctoral fellow at Yale University and has held visiting professorial fellowships or honorary professorships at the Universities of Edinburgh\, Muenster\, Ben Gurion\, and Queensland. He specializes in examining debates that involve religion and science in the public sphere\, trying to use social science to contribute to humanistic and ethical debates. He has particularly focused on ethical debates about human genetics. \n  \n  \nThe talk will be held in Haines 279. \n[gravityform id=”68″ title=”false” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Korea Before Nationalism:  Judging and Misjudging\, the 1801 Silk Letter of Hwang Sayŏng
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by: Center for Korean Studies \nCo-Sponsored by: Center for Study of Religion\, Center for Buddhist Studies \n  \nIn 1801\, in the midst of a bloody anti-Catholic persecution\, one of the persecuted Catholics\, Hwang Sayŏng\, tried to send a letter to the bishop in Beijing requesting European military intervention to force Chosŏn to stop killing Catholics. Over two centuries later\, historians debate how to characterize Hwang’s action. Many declare that he was traitor for asking foreign military forces to threaten Korea. A few others insist that he was a human rights activist\, since all he wanted was religious freedom\, not the fall of the government. Both characterizations are anachronistic. Professor Baker will provide a way to evaluate Hwang’s intentions in their historical context\, before the concepts of nationalism or religious freedom were present on the peninsula. He will argue that Hwang simply wanted Chosŏn to change its allegiance from Beijing to Rome. \n  \nDonald Baker is professor of Korean History and Civilization in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia. His most recent book is Catholics and Anti-Catholicism in Chosŏn Korea. He also wrote Korean Spirituality\, a survey of Korea’s religious culture and has published numerous articles on Christianity and Confucianism in Korean history.
