Exploring Modern Ethics and Faith at Málaga's Holy Week Museum Headquarters
A public dialogue addressing some of the most pressing questions of modern life is coming to the historic heart of Málaga. On Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 18:00, the chapter house of the Agrupación de Cofradías—the institutional home of the Museo de la Semana Santa de Málaga Jesús Castellanos—will host a panel discussion exploring the intersections of science, belief, and contemporary ethics.
Titled "Science, Faith, and Ethics in Today's World," this event is part of the ongoing "Faith" cultural cycle. The gathering is designed to provide a calm, open forum for examining how rapid scientific and technological progress impacts human identity, personal freedom, and our search for meaning. Rather than presenting rigid dogma, the discussion aims to position faith as an active participant in conversations with modern philosophy and scientific progress.
How to Attend the Public Dialogue in Málaga
The event is open to locals and travelers alike, offering a unique window into the intellectual and cultural life that thrives alongside Málaga's deep-rooted traditions.
The panel features three prominent Spanish thinkers who will approach the topic from distinct, complementary fields:
- Lola López Mondéjar: A clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and writer. She will examine the inner life of modern individuals, focusing on how digital culture and the fragmentation of traditional narratives affect personal identity and mental well-being.
- Antonio Diéguez: A professor of logic and philosophy of science at the University of Málaga. An expert on transhumanism and biotechnology, he will address the ethical boundaries of scientific advancement and our shared responsibility regarding technological progress.
- José Carlos Ruiz: A philosopher, author, and cultural commentator. He will discuss the necessity of critical thinking and deliberate decision-making in an increasingly accelerated, hyper-connected society.
The presentation takes place in the historic chapter house (sala capitular) at the headquarters of the Agrupación de Cofradías de Semana Santa de Málaga. Admission is completely free, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis until the room reaches its capacity.
