The workshop investigates new perspectives on the relations of evolution\, teleology\, and theology. Although the topic is much discussed\, new developments in both biology\, philosophy of biology\, and theology/philosophy of religion impact how the relation of evolution and teleology is seen. \;

\n

We ask: \;What is the relationship between evolutionary theory\, teleology\, and theology? How does evolution\, as a scientific theory\, relate to philosophical views of &ldquo\;unguided&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;guided&rdquo\; evolution?

\n

We invite papers focusing on one of the following four themes in relation to the workshop topic: (1) Varieties of Evolutionary Teleological Views\, (2) Explanatory Power and Methodological Considerations\, (3) The Impact of New Scientific Perspectives\, and (4) Theological Perspectives and Worldviews. Contributions can come from scientists\, philosophers\, theologians\, and historians. Please see further details at the event website and contact the organizers\, E. V. Rope Kojonen (Faculty of Theology\, University of Helsinki) or Zachary Ardern (Wellcome Sanger Institute\, Cambridge) if you have questions.
