WWAC: Amer Latif - an Islamic Christmas Tree? 6/23/17
- 1296 reads
Amer Latif, Professor of Religion, Marlboro College presents “An Islamic Christmas Tree? What Developments in Cognitive Science Teach Us About Making Peace”
This talk outlined a way of using reason and imagination in forging a rigorous method for making peace at a deep level between apparent religious contradictions, a way of finding harmony and unity that accommodates difference and multiplicity. The talk also discussed how this method for finding common ground appears from the perspective of contemporary cognitive science about the nature of human understanding.
