Conference Announcement Theme: Contemporary Tendencies of Studies in Philosophy of Religion Subtitle: Gerhard Oberhammer and his Religious Hermeneutics Type: International Conference Institution: Department of History of Philosophy and Centre of Humanitarian Education in Comparative Studies, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (RVP) Location: Moscow (Russia) Date: 19.–21.12.2017 __________________________________________________ The conference entails a general discussion on philosophical, religious and methodological issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. It has been decided to expand the conference’s range of disciplines by including any specialists in the various branches of philosophical and religious studies who are interested in this topic. It is no secret for anyone that modern Western civilization finds itself in a deep spiritual crisis. This has above all affected the membership in traditional churches in Western European countries. The inverse of this situation, filling the void in people’s worldview created by this crisis, is seen in the various radical and even extremist religious trends that have developed in recent years, as well as ultraconservative trends within traditional religions. These two sides are actually similar, since both limit the freedom of their followers and decrease personal contact with God. But freedom and its growth are an integral part of true religiosity, a religiosity that doesn’t destruct the personality of a human being, but in contrast helps form it. Research on this problematic is a pertinent topic for today; it can be realized within the framework of a range of paradigms and with the help of various methods. The religious hermeneutics of Gerhard Oberhammer offer one such forward-looking method. Although his method was formed on the basis of West European philosophical traditions, it is exceptional due to the fact that it can be successfully used for analyzing the sacred texts of other cultures, as for example the sacred texts of India. However, in examining Oberhammer’s writings and his method, it is essential to compare them to earlier philosophical views on religion and religiosity found within the philosophy of religion. Many such views have influenced both the development of this discipline and the form it takes today. They are thus as useful for us now as they were in the past.
