Science, Religion, and Philosophy: A Commemoration of the World’s Parliament of Religions February 21st-23rd 2014 to be held at the Hegeler-Carus Mansion, LaSalle, Illinois

In 1893, The World’s Parliament of Religions met in Chicago from the 15th of May until the 28th of October. 2013 marked the 120th anniversary of this gathering where the leading representatives of the religions of the world engaged in dialogue.  To commemorate this event, Special Collections Research Center at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in conjunction with the Hegeler-Carus Foundation is hosting a symposium on the relationship between science, religion, and philosophy.  One of the themes of the Parliament was “…the actual harmony of science and religion; and the origin and nature of the alleged conflict between them.”[1]

In keeping with one of the themes of the World’s Parliament of Religions, Special Collections Research Center at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in collaboration with the Hegeler-Carus Foundation invite papers that address any aspect of the relationship between science and religion and the root of their conflict as well as any papers addressing the historical significance of the World’s Parliament of Religions.
