Science and Philosophy are two important disciplines which help us understand the universe in which we inhabit. They do not, however, impart an adequate understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, something which religion alone can bestow.
Using the analogy of a mountain, Fr. Turrone will provide a framework, grounded in our Catholic faith, for discerning both the usefulness and limitations of both science and philosophy, reflecting upon how this knowledge is meant to shape our lives for the better.
