Theme: "Philosophy and Our Common Future"

Keynote Speaker

Keynote Speaker for the 2010 Conference: Gerald J. Larson, Professor Emeritus, Department of Religious Studies, Indiana University. Professor Larson's major works include India's Agony Over Religion (State University of New York Press, 1995), Interpreting Across Boundaries: New Essays in Comparative Philosophy (Princeton University Press, 1987-with Eliot Deutsch), Samkhya: A Dualist Tradition in Indian Philosophy (Princeton University Press, 1986-with Ram Shankar Bhattacharya), Classical Samkhya: An Interpretation of Its History and Meaning (Banarsidass, 1979), and numerous journal articles and book chapters.

Call For Papers and Panel Proposals

The theme of the 2010 SACP Conference is "Philosophy and Our Common Future."

Some special foci of interest are:
  • Current science and human nature
  • Bioethics
  • Ecology and climate change
  • Religion
  • Cross-cultural dialogues
  • Education
  • Technology
  • Governance in a global world
  • Terrorism and violence
This list of topics is not exclusive. Please feel free to propose any topic that is related to the conference theme.

Abstracts and panel proposals should be sent to BOTH to Al Albergate at Alalbergate@aol.com and Peimin Ni at nip@gvsu.edu.

Abstract of papers should be between 200-300 words, including a title.

Panel Proposals should contain the title of the panel, names of panelists, and titles of each presentation.

A panel is planned for discussing conference keynote speaker Gerald Larson's book India's Agony over Religion. Please send your suggestion of names for this panel to Peimin and Al at the e-mail addresses listed above.

The deadline for submission is Jan. 20, 2010.

Student Awards

We intend to continue with the student awards and, in fact, have increased the amount of the prizes. First prize: $1,000; second, $500; and third, $250. These amounts are not, however, straight cash awards, but applied to conference expenses. The idea is to make it easier for prize-winning students to attend the annual conference. Students should submit an essay of no more than 25 pages (or 10,000 words) AND a 300 word abstract to both Peimin and Al by Jan. 20, 2010
