Dear Colleague, You are invited to participate in the next session of the Logic and Religion Webinar Series which will be held on September 15, 2022, at 4pm CET with the topic:
Scriptural Reasoning on Language and Ultimate Truth in an Indian Religious Tradition. Speaker: Kenneth R. Valpey<https://www.kennethvalpey.com> (Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, UK). Chair: Dragana Jagušić<https://philpeople.org/profiles/dragana-jagusic> (University of Rijeka, Croatia) Please register in advance! https://www.logicandreligion.com/webinars Abstract: Conventional wisdom has it that language must ever fall short of adequately expressing Ultimate Truth. Further, if the attempt is made to describe Ultimate Truth in theistic terms, this simply confirms language’s limits. Not so, claims the Vaishnava Hindu scripture, the Bhagavata Purana. In this presentation I will sketch some ways the text makes its argument for theistic ultimacy with language holding a key function in such realization. How persuasive the Bhagavata’s argument can be regarded will depend—the text itself suggests—on one’s predisposition to accept or not accept it ... and on divine grace. Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session! With best wishes, -- Francisco de Assis Mariano The University of Missouri-Columbia LARA Secretary l...@logicandreligion.com<mailto:l...@logicandreligion.com>
