Our work advances compassion for terminally ill patients, the science behind the human virtue of generosity, and implications of continuing human evolution.
ASU's efforts
ASU Herberger College of Fine Arts/Mayo Clinic Hospital Partnership
Herberger theatre students role play to help Mayo Clinic nurses develop and nurture compassion in their everyday interactions with terminally ill patients.
Facing the Challenges of Transhumanism: Religion, Science, Technology
The project examines the meaning and implications of this new phase of human evolution brought about by the convergence of knowledge and new technologies across such fields as the life sciences, bioengineering and cognitive science, in which humanity itself has become a design project.
The Role of Religious Beliefs and Institutions in Generosity
Part of an emerging science of generosity, this project within the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict aims to uncover the causal mechanisms within specific religious traditions that promote generosity and giving, virtues commonly understood to enhance individual and social meaning and purpose.
