DESCRIPTION:<p>Philosophical mysticism is about to live a renaissance in the 21st century. Not only is it able to provide a promising alternative to the dichotomy of orthodox theism and atheism\; it also is compatible with a wide range of contemporary trends in global thought such as Speculative Realism\, Non-Philosophy\, Kyoto School\, etc.</p>\n<p>Thanks to COVID 19\, for the first time we are able to conduct a truly global conference on contemporary mysticism via Zoom. Please send your abstract (up to 300 words) or your video/trailer (up to 20 minutes) to <a href="mailto:info@chaosmos.zone">info@chaosmos.zone</a> until 31 May 2021.</p>\n<p>The conference will be conducted in July 2021.</p>\n<p>Note that this is not a purely academic conference.
