EXPANDED REASON INSTITUTE
ABOUT US
The Expanded Reason Institute, of the Francisco de Vitoria University (UFV), is a center for reflection, study, discussion and dissemination of research and teaching programs that, from the perspective of different sciences, raise fundamental questions and seek answers of expanded reason, always based on truth, of the person and of the Christian transformation of society.
By expanded reason, following Benedict XVI, we understand that which seeks to know with truth what surrounds it, embracing all aspects of reality from a harmonious synthesis of knowledge that integrates the development of each specific science and the teaching of these with theology and philosophy.
The Institute promotes a university open to the knowledge of reality and free of ideological restrictions, whether those of the reductionism of instrumental reason or those of a humanism disconnected from reality and scientific research. It is founded on the same conviction that gave rise to the European universities: that faith and reason are destined to cooperate in the search for truth, each respecting the nature and legitimate autonomy of the other, but working together harmoniously and creatively in the service of the realization of the human person and the common good in truth and love.
