Roger Scruton joins us to speak On Human Nature, presenting an original and radical defense of human uniqueness. Confronting the views of evolutionary psychologists, utilitarian moralists, and philosophical materialists such as Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, he argues that human beings cannot be understood simply as biological objects.
The Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology is a Roman Catholic academic institution whose primary mission is to educate and theologically empower women in the Church, while remaining committed to serving society at large and providing the opportunity to study what promotes the common good locally, nationally, and globally.
We set out to offer transforming experiences for women, the community and the Church through theological education, professional pastoral practice and personal formation. The Institute has a particular specialism in ethics, lay ministry, intercultural hermeneutics, political theology, theology and the arts, and is a member of the Cambridge Theological Federation.
