CFP: Formal Natural Theology (3rd World Congress on Logic and Religion, Varanasi, India, Nov. 4-8, 2022)

The workshop “Formal Natural Theology” will be a part of the 3rd World Congress on Logic and Religion (WoCoLoR).

In this workshop, we aim to address interdependent questions at the intersection between Logic and Philosophy of Religion. We aim to cast light on the nature, the logic and the internal coherence of religious discourse.

A promising way of approaching the issues of Natural Theology is using tools of Formal Logic. Such approach configures an area of Logical Philosophy of Religion called Formal Natural Theology (FNT). On one side, it is possible to logically analyze systems that have already been established historically, on other it is possible to propose new systems with interesting results.
