Aporia hosts weekend philosophy conference

By Nicole Newman | April 13, 2009

Alice Zhao / The Dartmouth Staff Correction appended Students hailing from as far as Canada and California came together to answer the question, "What is the role of philosophy in religion?" at the Second Annual Dartmouth Undergraduate Philosophy Conference this weekend hosted by Aporia, the College's undergraduate journal of philosophy. Citing the controversy between science and religion that resurfaced with Darwin's 200th birthday this year, Aporia editor-in-chief Jenny Strakovsky '09 wrote in the journal's latest issue that one goal of the conference was to "explore the connection between philosophy and religion and learn how they could potentially work together." "Religion is a part of many people's lives, although it is not studied widely," Strakovsky said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The journal's Spring 2009 issue emphasized the strained relationship between science and religion and the need for interdisciplinary discussions.
