SUMMARY:Ethics and the Media in an Era of Complex Moral Challenge
DESCRIPTION:A workshop for an exchange of views on media coverage of ethical and religious issues\, and to discuss the launch of a forum for ethics in the public space called Ethicscope. A constituency of leading journalists\, ethicists and representatives of different faiths discussed the access\, fairness\, balance and quality of ethical perspectives in print\, radio\, TV\, photojournalism and online media. Our aim: to explore ways in which media practitioners at every level can develop and enhance their ethical insights and presentation of issues. This meeting occured at a time when the domains of politics\, medical science\, business\, economics\, the environment\, social and human rights\, face increasingly complex choices and judgments. At the same time\, the world’s leading faiths are experiencing mounting challenges and scrutiny from secular and pluralist standpoints. The conference report is available here.

SUMMARY:SHDP Symposium 2004: Creativity and Depression
DESCRIPTION:There has long been a notion that creativity and imagination are associated with forms of depression and even psychosis. This conference explored a wide-ranging approach to the topic\, including literary\, historical\, and psychiatric perspectives.The discussion focused particularly on the way in which depression is reported in the media as well biographically and autobiographically.

SUMMARY:SHDP Debate 2003: The Anthropic Principle and the Multiverse
DESCRIPTION:John Polkinghorne and Sir Martin Rees tackled the notion of the anthropic principle– the existence of numerical accidents in the Universe that were essential for the development of life. The speakers went on to draw contrasting conclusions from this circumstance\, and explanations. John Polkinghorne insisted that principle indicated a prime mover or mind in the Universe\, which he would call God\, while Martin Rees invoked a multiverse in which there is an infinite series of Big Bangs\, each resulting in a different set of laws of chemistry and physics. According to this theory we are living in the Universe in which the conditions\, while extraordinary\, are right for life – by chance rather than by design.

SUMMARY:SHDP Conference 2000:  Styles of Explanation in Science
DESCRIPTION:This meeting brought together philosophers\, scientists\, mathematicians\, and anthropologists to discuss why explanations work\, why they vary between disciplines\, periods\, and cultures\, and to discover whether they have any necessary boundaries. The issues engaged the keen interest of the participants from the media\, for it is in journalism that the notion of an explanation is often misused or misunderstood. Speakers included Peter Atkins\, Sir Martin Rees\, Peter Lipton\, Colin McGinn and Juliet Mitchell.

SUMMARY:SHDP Conference 1997: Consciousness and Human Identity
DESCRIPTION:Consciousness has puzzled philosophers\, naturalists\, and theologians down the ages. Now it has caught the interest of contemporary scientists\, some of whom believe they are on the brink of discovering its basis in neurobiological processes. This meeting of neuroscientists\, psychologists\, philosophers\, theologians and novelists\, discussed the prospects and consequences for finding a scientific explanation of consciousness. Speakers included Margaret Boden\, John Searle\, Steven Rose\, Mary Midgely\, Jeremy Butterfield\, Peter Lipton and David Lodge. Proceedings are published as Consciousness and Human Identity\, edited by John Cornwell\, Oxford University Press\, 1998.

SUMMARY:SHDP Conference 1994: Plato and Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Logicians and philosophers of mathematics discussed the mathematical Platonism with Penelope Maddy\, Michael Redhead\, Tim Smiley\, Jeremy Butterfield\, and Peter Smith. Is mathematics created by the mind or does it have an extra-mental existence\, and what are the implications for philosophy? \nPenelope Maddy\, a leading international philosopher of mathematics came to Cambridge from the United States to lead the discussions\, which\, inevitably\, were fascinating\, paradoxical\, and inconclusive.
