_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 the 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 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.
This symposium is sponsored and hosted by the Department of Religious
Studies, at The University of Sydney.
