CFP: Meta-philosophy of religion & Meta-theology

CALL FOR PAPERS

 META-PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION & META-THEOLOGY

We are delighted to announce the new journal TheoLogica, a peer-reviewed international journal. TheoLogica is a multidisciplinary research journal focused on philosophy of religion and theology (analytic theology, natural theology, philosophical theology), exploring philosophical and theological topics with the standards of conceptual clarity and rigorous argumentation, which are recognized (in particular but not exclusively) in the analytic tradition. The Journal adopts the Open Access Journal (free access) in order to promote research and development of philosophy of religion and theology in the Spanish-speaking academy. In order to contribute equally to international scientific discussions held in several languages, articles and reviews written in Spanish, French, English, Italian and German are accepted.

We invite submissions for the first issue of the journal: Meta-philosophy of religion & Meta-theology. The authors will be expected to discuss the nature, methods and aims of philosophy of religion and/or theology from a metaphilosophical or metatheological perspective. The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of possible research topics:

- What are philosophy of religion and/or analytic theology? What are their subject, their methods and aims?

Nature:

- Is theology continuous with philosophy and with science? Can it be called a science and in what sense?

Methods:

- What are the ultimate sources of theology (Scripture, Councils, Tradition, Reason, etc.) and their relative roles? What is the relationship between Scripture and the analytical style of philosophizing? What is the epistemological status of the Scripture in these disciplines?

- What is the place of argumentation in the methodology of theology?

- Is there such a thing as theological knowledge? What are the epistemic sources of theological knowledge?

Aims:

- Is theological knowledge necessary? Are there epistemic conditions for Salvation?

- Do philosophy of religion and theology aim at Wisdom? How is this sapiential dimension to be fostered? Is the analytic style a hindrance for this aim?

Deadline for sending the paper: April 31st, 2016

Full papers should be submitted via our website: http://revistatheologica.com, or send your paper to: [email protected]. Visit theTheoLogica homepage for a description of the journal and instructions to authors.

Yours sincerely,
