Call for Papers for Philosophy Grad Student Association

Spring Conference 2023: Morality & Religion

The PGSA Spring Philosophy Conference 2023 is scheduled for Saturday, April 15 at 1 pm. We are now accepting submissions of papers addressing questions and theories on the topic of “Morality & Religion”, including but not limited to:

What is morality? What is religion? How do these concepts come into play in our lives? How are they related? How are they different? How do they originate? How do they conflict? Are they necessary? Do they affect our ethics and politics, and how? Do they affect our decisions and our actions, and how? Do they affect our identities, and how? Ultimately, what is the future of morality and religion in the world we live in?

The deadline for submissions is 6 March, 2023.
