Ravi Jain
Ravi Scott Jain is completing his doctorate in Philosophical Theology, at Oriel College, Oxford University, with a dissertation titled, “Whose Mathematics, Which World?” He coauthored 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) due to be released in 2024, 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. If he had any time to stop reading Augustine, Aquinas, and C.S Peirce, he would probably start reading a novel by Neal Stephenson or Dostoevsky (or writing one on the exciting events of the 12 th century).
