The conference will be attended by a multi-disciplinary group of several scholars (scientists, philosophers, theologians, historians, mathematicians) from more than 15 countries, many of whom are participants in the SophiaEuropa Research Project. Accepted participants are welcome to be our guest for the entirety of the conference. Furthermore, we can cover their travel expenses to and accommodations in Gorizia.  
The aim of the conference, in order to organize the broadest debate around the main topic, is to explore in depth and discuss the so called default position illustrated by Anthony Kenny, Ronald Cole-Turner. The other speakers shall argue this position and judge the results and the development/or different implications embedded in the pages written by them.
  
Further details will be announced on the site http://www.SophiaEuropa.net in due course.
