The European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT) invites you to the Fourteenth European Conference on Science and Theology (24-29 April 2012)

As usual, we will have five plenary lectures, a panel and ample space for short paper discussions. Plenary lectures will be held by Gayle Wolochak, Stuart Kauffman, Bronislaw Szerszynski, Richard Villems and Antje Jackelén. General Assembly will meet on April 27, 14.00-15.00.


All of us can accept the challenge and try our own take on this topic: Is life a biological, or philosophical, theological or paleoarcheological, social scientific or psychological issue, or all of it, and many others? Are the best representations of life presented by artists, are the best explanations by biosemioticians? Is life a process of dying slowly, or a prelude to something else?


This is the first time, the ESSSAT will have its conference in Estonia, in fact, the first time the conference will be held in the territory of the former Soviet Union. For many, it would be a new destination on the map of Europe – come and see! One’s own eye is the king, as we say.
