Call for Papers: SACP at AAR in Denver 2022

May 8, 2022 /

SACP Call for Papers
2022 AAR Annual Meeting, Denver, CO
November 19-22, 2022

The Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy invites you to submit your paper proposal for the AAR Annual Meeting 2022.

The SACP will host at least one panel. The panel will be scheduled on Saturday (11/19) in the morning time slot, 11:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m.

Depending on the number of proposals, a second panel may be added in the evening on Saturday or Sunday (11/19 or 20), 7-8:30 p.m.

As for the topic of the paper proposal, any timely issue will be welcome. If you are proposing a technical paper steeped in one tradition, please approach it from an “intercultural” perspective, so that other thinkers from other traditions will find your topic accessible and engage in fruitful dialogue and exchanges. If we, as members of the SACP, manage to address the vital issues and concerns of the day, even if anchored in a single tradition but open to dialogue, our time and effort will be spent well.

If it is a panel proposal that you have in mind, please contact the individual members of your panel to submit their proposals each as an independent paper proposal to me. In this case, indicate that it is part of a panel, following your name. There is no blanket acceptance policy of the paper, even if it is part of a panel.

     The deadline for the submission of the proposal is June 15 (Wednesday), 2022.

Translating Sanskrit Buddhist Philosophy for the Philosophy Curriculum

February 9, 2022 /

https://csr.princeton.edu/events/2022/translating-buddhist-philosophy

 

A symposium focused on a new translation of Vasubandhu’s Twenty Verses and Exposition

In North America today, philosophers are aware of and often respectful of non-canonical philosophical traditions, but still, Buddhist philosophical texts are taught almost exclusively in Religion departments. Perhaps the problem is partly one of translation.

The Vasubandhu Translation Group (VTG) has sought to create texts that can be dropped into a non-specialist’s philosophy course: This includes their recently-completed draft translation of the 5th century Indian Buddhist philosopher Vasubandhu’s Twenty Verses and Exposition (Viṃśikāvṛtti). So, we’ve provided the draft to ten Philosophy professors and asked them each to provide their thoughts in response to the following question: “Can you imagine a place for a text like this in a philosophy curriculum?”

Has the VTG succeeded in producing a translation that might fit into a philosophy course? If not, why not? What works and what doesn’t? What’s left to do? What kinds of contextualization, justification, translation choices, notes/apparatus, or disciplinary changes would be necessary to grant this text—or other Buddhist philosophical texts—a week in a course? Answers to these questions have ramifications beyond the text in question and beyond Buddhist philosophy. The six members of the VTG will participate in conversation with the presenters.

A keynote by one of the translators, Parimal Patil (Harvard University) will follow the day’s conversations. His talk is entitled “Philosophy, Philosophers, and Buddhist Scholastic Texts (Śāstra).” Another member of the VTG, Trina Janiec Jones, will be discussant after the talk.

Register for the symposium Zoom meeting.

Fundació Vivarium Raimon Panikkar, is a non-profit organization founded by Raimon Panikkar himself for promoting interreligious studies. It is the legacy of the Foundation to pursue the aims of its Founder by completing the publication of his writings and fostering the continuation of his studies.

SACP Announcements

December 14, 2021 /

Dear Members of the SACP,

I have a few important announcements, made on behalf of the Board of the SACP.

  1. In light of uncertainty about the direction of the pandemic, the 52nd annual meeting of the SACP will be postponed again until October 2023.
  2. Because this is the second postponement, we ask that anyone interested in presenting at the October 2023 meeting submit NEW abstracts by 1 February 2023, even if you wish to speak on the same topic for which you previously submitted an abstract.
  3. The 52nd annual meeting of the SACP will still be hosted by the University of San Francisco, on the theme of “One and Many,” with keynote speaker Hei-sook Kim (Ewha Womans University).
  4. My term as President ends this year (December 2021). As per the SACP bylaws, our current Vice President, Sarah Flavel, will automatically become President (1 January 2022).
  5. Finally, let us stress again that the president and other members of the SACP Board will NEVER ask you individually for money, gift cards, or credit card numbers. If you are in doubt about the authenticity of any personal email message or text, ask to speak to the person in question via phone or video chat to confirm their identity. (Read up on “phishing” if you are not already familiar with this con.)

Thank you to everyone for your help and support during my term as President!

Best wishes,

Bryan (on behalf of the Board)
