The Templeton Honors College is pleased to announce that Ravi Jain is joining our faculty as MAT Co-Director.
Ravi Scott Jain, is the graduate scholar in science and religion at Oriel College, Oxford University pursuing his doctorate in Philosophical Theology. His dissertation is titled, “Whose Mathematics, Which World? Discrete and Continuous Quantity in the Vestigia Trinitatis and the thought of C.S. Peirce and Mary Hesse.” He has coauthored The Liberal Arts Tradition (also in Chinese and Portuguese) and A New Natural Philosophy. His third book The Enchanted Cosmos (also in Chinese) is due to be released in 2024. He taught Calculus and Physics for many years and developed an integrated class called “The Scientific Revolution.” In that class students read primary sources like Galileo and Newton in order to recapitulate the narrative of discovery and explore its deeper meanings while preserving the mathematical and scientific rigor expected of a college level treatment. He has consulted with government and church leaders on education and has spoken widely throughout America, Africa, China, and Europe.
