They were university <strong>researchers <\/strong>who are the winners of the first edition of the '<strong>Expanded Reason Awards<\/strong>.'<\/p>\n<p>The award promotes the university style proposed by Benedict XVI to <strong>widen the horizons of reason<\/strong>. This means <strong>studying reality<\/strong> from different perspectives <strong>to reach the truth<\/strong> and overcome relativism.<\/p>\n<p>The prizes have been created by Spanish University Francisco de Vitoria, and are endorsed by the <strong>Joseph Ratzinger-Benedict XVI Foundation<\/strong>. In its first edition, more than 300 works were presented from 30 different countries.<\/p>\n<p>The winners in the 'research' category include <strong>Darcia Narvaez<\/strong>, from the University of Notre Dame in the United States, for her work in Neurobiology. Also <strong>Claudia Vanney<\/strong> and <strong>Juan Frank<\/strong>, from the Universidad Austral in Argentina, who promoted 'Determinism or indeterminism,' a study that combines Philosophy and Science.<\/p>\n<p>In the 'teaching' category, the winners are <strong>Michael Garanzini, Michael Schuck and Nancy Tuchman<\/strong> for their work in 'Healing Earth' from Loyola University in Chicago.
