Modern European Philosophy and the Philosophy of Religion
This conference considers the contributions made by modern European
thinkers to both philosophy of religion and philosophical theology.
There is a marked difference in the way the issue of religion is treated
within contemporary Anglo-phone and the European contexts: while in
Anglo-phone contexts philosophers have been more concerned with
demonstrating the truth or untruth of the claims of Christianity and
theism in general, in European philosophy the questions have tended to
focus more on the role that religion and religious experience plays in
human life. The aim of the conference is to present a series of papers
that are focused on European thinkers and European thought on religion
and the religious experience that will contribute to an appreciation of
the ‘practical’ questions that are raised by religion for philosophy,
particularly for a post-metaphysical philosophy.
