Call for Abstracts | International Conference “Environmental Ethics and Vulnerability in Western and/or Buddhist Philosophy” 

International Conference “Environmental Ethics and Vulnerability in Western and/or Buddhist Philosophy” 

by Laura Langone and Carlo Chiurco 

University of Verona (Italy), 24-25-26 October 2024 

 

Call for abstracts: 

This conference aims to explore new paths in environmental ethics by bringing into dialogue Western and Buddhist philosophical traditions. Global issues such as the environmental ones require global answers that need to elaborate a wide perspective.

Given the popularity of Buddhism as well as the growth of Buddhist studies in the West, this conference looks for intercultural contributions on environmental ethics that embrace both Western and Buddhist philosophical traditions.

In this respect, vulnerability may play a key role in bridging East and West. Its prominent position in contemporary ethics and global bioethics could contribute to transcending the view of a self-referential modern subjectivity in favor of a fully relational conception of subjectivity. This conception aligns closely with the Buddhist perspective on reality as the interconnectedness of everything that exists.

The main objective of this conference is to provide a platform for bringing together scholars in environmental ethics, vulnerability, and global bioethics from both Western and Buddhist philosophical traditions, fostering potential dialogues between them. Contributions from either the Western or Buddhist perspective alone are also welcome.

Possible topics for papers can include, but are not limited to:

  • Environmental ethics in Western or Buddhist philosophical traditions
  • Comparative perspectives on environmental ethics between Western and Buddhist philosophical traditions
  • Historical encounters between Western and Buddhist philosophical traditions regarding environmental ethics
  • Vulnerability and global bioethics from either the Western or Buddhist perspectives
  • Comparative perspectives on vulnerability and global bioethics between Western and Buddhist philosophical traditions
  • Future challenges in environmental ethics, vulnerability and global bioethics

Keynote speakers: 

  • Henk ten Have (Duquesne University, USA)
  • Marion Hourdequin (Colorado College, USA)
  • Claudia Navarini (European University of Rome, Italy)
  • William Edelglass (Emerson College, USA)
  • Benedetta Giovanola (University of Macerata, Italy)
  • Janet Donohoe (University of West Georgia, USA)

CFP: Argumentation in World Religious Traditions, Including Legal Traditions, Sinaia, Sept 3-8, 2023 – Deadline June 17th

Workshop organised by Agnieszka Rostalska, Ghent University

Keynote Speaker: Douglas L. Berger, Leiden University

Formalized approaches to philosophical argumentation, conducted in specific genres of debate, were developed in most World Religious Traditions, and are not at all exclusively distinctive of “Western” philosophical disputation.

This workshop, part of the 4th World Congress on Logic and Religion, explores cross-cultural perspectives on argumentation, specifically, those that governed how different traditions engaged in philosophical debates.

Suggested topics include – but are not limited to – the following:

  • Argumentation – the epistemic standards of rational reflection;
  • Application of argumentative techniques for understanding religious phenomena;
  • Formal approaches to philosophico-religious arguments: especially the frameworks of inference, suppositional reasoning, parallelism, deductive reasoning, logical fallacies, contradictions and debate;
  • Techniques for defending/challenging/persuading (including misleading an opponent) in situations of doubt or disagreement, especially: certification, persuasion, refutation, and trickery in debate;
  • Comparison – differences and commonalities in argumentative practices across cultures.

The participants will inquire into how the relations between logic and religion are supported by rational inquiry. They will scrupulously examine a wide range of arguments postulated by philosophers and logicians.

Papers with comparative and/or cross-cultural components are particularly welcome.

Submit a one-page abstract by June 17th here: http://4wocolor.pl/

Extended Deadline: CFP SACP at San Francisco
