CFP: 5th World Congress on Logic and Religion – WoCoLoR

We welcome submissions on all aspects of the relationship between logic and religion, broadly understood. Contributions may be philosophical, formal, interdisciplinary, or applied.

The congress invites work in core areas such as logic and philosophy of religion, formal logic and theological reasoning, epistemology of belief and faith, metaphysics and religious thought, and the logic of religious language and symbolism. We also encourage submissions that engage with contemporary and interdisciplinary questions, including the intersections of artificial intelligence, religion, and epistemic coherence; the logic of economic behavior, profit, and faith; ethics, business, and religious frameworks; media and communication in relation to religion; and the role of religion in digital and technological contexts.

In addition, the congress seeks to promote diverse cultural and critical perspectives. Relevant topics include Indigenous structures of thought and religion, comparative religion and systems of belief, religious dialogue and pluralism, women and gender in religion, and the relationships between psychoanalysis, symbolic systems, and religious experience.

Submissions may be directed to one of the proposed workshop themes, which include The Logic of Panentheism; Artificial Intelligence, Faith, and Epistemic Coherence; The Logic of Profit and Faith; Women, Logic and Religion; and Logic of Religious Dialogue. However, the congress remains open to new directions, and we warmly welcome proposals for additional workshops, special sessions, and interdisciplinary panels.
