Aquinas and the Sciences: Exploring the Past, Present, and Future
The 21st century has witnessed a renewed interest in Thomas Aquinas and the Thomistic tradition within the field of science and religion [...]
A Diagnóstica Pré-Natal Da Agenesia Renal Bilateral: Avanços Tecnológicos E Impactos No Aconselhamento Genético
A agenesia renal bilateral (ARB) é uma condição congênita rara e fatal, marcada pela formação incompleta dos rins durante o desenvolvimento fetal, o que leva à redução do líquido amniótico e ao comprometimento do desenvolvimento pulmonar. Tecnologias como o sequenciamento de nova geração (NGS) têm aprimorado o diagnóstico pré-natal da ARB, fornecendo dados cruciais para o manejo da gestação e o aconselhamento genético. Contudo, a introdução dessa…
Theology meets philosophy of science
This is a brief introduction to a special issue highlighting the relevance of philosophy of science to many core topics in theology and philosophy of religion. Several points of intersection between knowledge production in the sciences and knowledge production in philosophy and theology are discussed
Causal and non-causal explanations in theology: The case of Aquinas's primary–secondary causation distinction
The basic question of this article is whether Thomas Aquinas's doctrine of divine providence through his understanding of primary and secondary causation can be understood as a theological causal or non-causal explanation. To answer this question, I will consider some contemporary discussions about the nature of causal and non-causal explanations in philosophy of science and metaphysics, in order to integrate them into a theological discourse tha…
Aquinas's science-engaged theology
Science-engaged theology has emerged as a new way of conducting research within the vast field of science and religion, with the aim of, at least in one way of understanding it today, solving theological puzzles. In this article we suggest that an analysis of the diversity of approaches in which thirteenth-century philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas engaged theological questions with the best knowledge of the natural world available at the …
Análise epidemiológica da violência obstétrica no Brasil
A violência obstétrica é uma prática recorrente no Brasil, que envolve desde abusos físicos e verbais até negligência e práticas iatrogênicas durante o parto. Esse problema é fortemente associado à cultura hospitalar vigente, que frequentemente prioriza intervenções invasivas, como episiotomia, uso excessivo de ocitocina e intervenções médicas sem indicação clara
Maternidade Como Dispositivo: Olhares Foucaultianos Para Fotografias De Mães E Filhas
O artigo apresenta uma análise discursiva sobre imagens fotográficas da artista líbano-americana Rania Matar, cujo o foco é o funcionamento da maternidade como dispositivo de poder, ferramenta de reflexão desenvolvida por Michel Foucault. As fotografias analisadas enquadram enunciados em que mães e filhas são posicionadas no discurso, mediante processos de objetivação e de subjetivação, acionados pelo referido dispositivo. O copus reúne um conjun…
Thomas Aquinas and Some Neo-Thomists on the Possibility of Miracles and the Laws of Nature
This paper discusses how Thomas Aquinas and some Neo-Thomists scholars (Juan José Urráburu, Joseph Hontheim, Édouard Hugon, and Joseph Gredt) analysed the metaphysical possibility of miracles. My main goal is to unpack the metaphysical toolbox that Aquinas uses to solve the basic question about the possibility of miracles and to compare how his late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century followers solved the issue themselves. The key feature to …
Trayectorias residenciales de hogares inmigrantes que habitan en campamentos. Estudio de casos en las comunas de Lampa y Maipú, Región Metropolitana, Chile
In Chile, the presence of slums or informal settlements is one of the expressions most commonly associated with urban informality. They represent a housing access strategy that has been used by vulnerable groups who, for different reasons, have been excluded from the formal housing market. The case study is 274 homes of Chilean citizens and immigrants who reside in 17 slums located in the districts of Lampa and Maipú, in the Metropolitan Region. …
Thomas Aquinas and William E. Carroll on Creatio ex Nihilo: A Response to Joseph Hannon’s “Theological Objections to a Metaphysicalist Interpretation of Creation”
Joseph Hannon has expressed a most surprising objection to Aquinas scholar Prof William E. Carroll in his latest paper “Theological Objections to a Metaphysicalist Interpretation of Creation.” The main claim is that Prof. Carroll misunderstands Aquinas' doctrine of creatio ex nihilo by reducing it to a metaphysical notion, rather than considering it in its full theological sense. In this paper I show Hannon's misinterpretation of Carroll's and Th…
Providence, Contingency, and the Perfection of the Universe
In this paper, I present and analyse the theological reasons given by contemporary authors such as Robert J. Russell, Thomas Tracy and John Polkinghorne, as well as thirteenth-century scholar Thomas Aquinas, to admit that the created universe requires being intrinsically contingent in its causing, in particular referring to their doctrines of providence. Contemporary authors stress the need of having indeterminate events within the natural world …
Revisiting Aquinas on Providence and Rising to the Challenge of Divine Action in Nature
Attempts to solve the issue of divine action in nature have resulted in many innovative proposals seeking to explain how God can act within nature without disrupting the created order but introducing novelty in the history of the universe. My goal is to show how Aquinas' doctrine of providence, mainly as expressed in his De Potentia Dei, fulfils the criteria for an account of divine action: that God's action is providential in the sense that God …
P2-241 Evaluation of the national cervical screening programme in Chile
Introduction The Chilean Cervical Screening Programme (CCSP) was implemented nationally in 1994, but its performance and effectiveness in reducing mortality from cervical cancer (CC) have not been assessed at an individual level. This is the first comprehensive evaluation of a national screening programme in a developing country based on individual record-linkage. Methods We linked three Chilean national datasets using the unique personal identif…
