Centre of Theology and Philosophy (CoTP)

Description

The Centre of Theology and Philosophy (CoTP) is a research-led institution organised at the interstices of theology and philosophy.

It is founded on the conviction that these two disciplines cannot be fully understood, or further developed, without reference to each other. This is true in historical terms, as the Western cultural legacy cannot be understood unless the interaction of the Hebraic and Hellenic traditions is acknowledged. It's also true conceptually, since reasoning can't be completely separated from faith and hope.

The Centre is concerned with:

• The historical interaction between theology and philosophy
• The current relation between the two disciplines
• Attempts to overcome the Analytic/Continental divide in philosophy
• The question of the status of ‘metaphysics’: Is the term used ambiguously? Is it at an end? Or have 20th-century attempts to have a post-metaphysical philosophy ended?
• The construction of a rich Catholic humanism
