Dr. Ravi Jain, Co-Director of the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) at the Templeton Honors College, will discuss his new book, The Enchanted Cosmos, in Clemens Hall in Templeton Hall.
Dr. Jain completed his doctorate in Philosophical Theology, at Oriel College, Oxford University, with a dissertation titled, “Whose Mathematics, Which World?” He co-authored 'The Liberal Arts Tradition' (also in Chinese and Portuguese) and 'A New Natural Philosophy'. His third book, 'The Enchanted Cosmos: Mathematics and the Logos who is Love' (also in Chinese), reveals how much of popularly held epistemology and metaphysics is transmitted through school mathematics. He has consulted with government and church leaders on education and spoken widely throughout America, Africa, China, and Europe. He learned to row (and punt!) at Oxford, competing for Oriel College in Summer Eights (and the more fun-loving punting cuppers). In his free time he enjoys relaxing with his family and friends, ideally by a fire or with a view of the mountains dropping into the sea.
Dr. Jain will sign copies of his new book during a reception after the lecture.
Light refreshments to be served.
