An Enchanted Quest: Spiritual Yearning in Science

Max Weber famously argued that modern science leads to disenchantment, stripping the world of mystery and magic. But is that really the case? Our event discusses a new international study on how scientists experience enchantment and transcendence in their work. Panellists discuss how science can serve as a spiritual resource for believers and nonbelievers alike, and what scientists' experiences suggest about the relevance of spirituality in a secular age.

Brandon Vaidyanathan will present on the study findings.

The panel will in addition include Ard Louis , Mari van Emmerik and Robert Gilbert.
