Background and Objectives
The Christian tradition in general, and the Catholic tradition in particular, have always encouraged a substantive dialogue between the distinct but closely related disciplines of Theology and Philosophy. Taking advantage of the renewed emphasis on interdisciplinarity within the McAnulty College of Liberal Arts, we take the view that a regular exchange of ideas across the borders of our respective disciplines, within the framework of a research seminar, will be of great benefit both to faculty members and to the student population.
The Theology—Philosophy Interdisciplinary Research Seminar intends to give fuller expression to the Catholic tradition of substantive dialogue between the distinct but closely related disciplines of Theology and Philosophy; to promote the exchange of ideas between scholars in our respective departments, which we consider to be of great benefit to our various research projects; to stimulate the exchange of ideas among doctoral students of philosophy and theology; to promote the further development of working relationships between scholars and teachers at Duquesne University and other local and regional universities.General Information
The research seminar meets once every semester and organizes a colloquium. For each of the two annual meetings a scholar is invited whose work is deemed of interest to faculty members and doctoral students in both disciplines to deliver a keynote address followed by paper presentations and discussions within the seminar.
