Details
Recent scientific research treating religion as a natural, cognitive/cultural phenomenon that is the product of evolutionary processes has the potential to fundamentally alter how philosophers discuss religion. The aim of the workshop is to explore this potential by examining questions such as: What kinds of new philosophical questions regarding religion can now be meaningfully pursued? What is the significance, if any, of the current research for traditional issues in philosophy of religion? Is there scope for a new, naturalist philosophy of religion? Or is it simply that philosophy of religion has come to an end?
Abstracts of less than 500 words will be accepted till March 31st. All submissions should be made through the easychair website. Abstracts will be evaluated on a first come basis so early submission is strongly encouraged in order to avoid missing out on available spots.
