Ignacio Silva, research fellow at the Philosophy Institute, has edited, together with Simon Kopf, Visiting Lecturer at the International Theological Institute in Trumau, Austria, the volume Divine and Human Providence: Philosophical, Psychological and Theological Approaches (Routledge 2020), which was also published in Spanish with the title La providencia humana y divina: Aproximaciones desde la filosofía, la psicología y la teología (Ediciones Logos 2020). This volume, an output of the research project ‘Human and Divine Providence’, seeks to offer an original perspective on divine providence by examining philosophical, psychological, and theological perspectives on human providence as exhibited in virtuous human behaviours. Drawing on insights from virtue ethics, psychology and cognitive science, the philosophy of providence in the face of contingent events, and the theology of grace, each chapter contributes to an original overall perspective: that human providential action is a resource suited specifically to personal action and hence related to the purported providential action of a personal God.

Chapters were written by philosophers, theologians and psychologists from Latin America, the United States and Europe.
