LOCATION:Bochum\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:<p>Since Antiquity eternity has been thought to describe a\n      particular kind of existence that belongs exclusively to what\n      truly exists.&nbsp\; Within the history of philosophy there have in\n      general been two different major conceptions of eternity:&nbsp\; (1)\n      eternity as timeless existence and (2) eternity as existence at\n      all times.&nbsp\; Both conceptions are meant to contrast with the\n      ordinary existence of everyday things\, such as dogs and chairs\,\n      that come to be and pass away.<br> <br> In contemporary philosophy the concept of eternity as such is no\n      longer fashionable\, but even here one might characterize the\n      proponents of realism in the philosophy of mathematics and of\n      timeless propositions in the philosophy of language (that is\, that\n      propositions are entities whose existence is independent of\n      anyone&rsquo\;s thinking or uttering them) as defenders of some notion of\n      eternity.&nbsp\; Moreover\, the concept of eternity has a strong claim to\n      being a point of interest that connects many fields outside of the\n      traditional boundaries of philosophy\, e.g.\, theology and biblical\n      exegesis and literature (cf. J.L. Borges).<br> <br> The aim of this conference is to elucidate and analyze the concept\n      of eternity in its historical and philosophical dimensions.</p>
