<h3>Description<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>Science in the West did not emerge fully-formed like Athena from the head of Zeus: theoretical frameworks, methodologies and belief systems have been tested and contested, proven, disproven and abandoned. Yet since the 17th century science has profoundly
recast our relationship to the world and ourselves. Science began to provide a logical, systemic framework with which to understand not only the world, but knowledge and values, shifting the axis away from a divinely ordained order bestowed by divine beings
and religious authorities to one in which rational scientific thought, agency and objectivity began to hold sway.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Science today reminds us of our own agency in the building of new knowledge. But can it provide meaningful orientation in key aspects of human life? Traditionally, religion provided community, connection, certainty, salvation, and a strong cultural and moral
framework in the face of chaos. Is science able to address these fundamental human needs? In recent years populism, politics and the pandemic – together with the rise of disinformation and ‘fake news’ made possible by unregulated social media – have decentred
the trust in science, with conspiracy theories on the rise in the attempt to find answers and orientation in life<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>What has science failed to deliver? Where is the soul in science?<o:p></o:p></p>
