DESCRIPTION:<p><u>Overview</u></p>\n<p>The Center for Philosophy of Religion at Rutgers University is pleased to host an in-person\, working-papers conference on the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experience. We are seeking abstracts (150-350 words) from those interested in participating. The tentative date is 15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Participants with accepted submissions will be given hotel accommodations and a modest honorarium to help defray travel costs.</p>\n<p><u>Theme</u></p>\n<p>The overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign religious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious beliefs. But religious experiences of the kind philosophers are interested in are also studied in other fields as well\, such as psychology and religious studies. However\, the psychology and epistemology of religious experiences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely to be insightful in various ways. To that end\, we are interested in bringing together scholars working on the psychology and epistemology of religious experiences. Potential topics include:</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The nature of religious experiences</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Taxonomies of religious experiences</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Potential psychological mechanisms and accounts of religious experience</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The relation between perception and religious experiences</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The epistemology of religious experience</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The interactions between the psychology and epistemology of religious experience</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The relation of cognitive science of religion to religious experience</p>\n<p>Any proposed papers on these topics\, or similar ones\, are welcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary approaches are also welcome.</p>\n<p><u>Instructions</u></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;Please submit an abstract (150-350 words)\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full paper to Timothy Perrine at <a href="mailto:tp654@scarletmail.rutgers.edu">tp654@scarletmail.rutgers.edu</a>. Submission should be prepared for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, institutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information.
