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)
  • Graham Parkes (University of Vienna, Austria)

  • International Society for Environmental Ethics (ISEE)
  • International Association for Environmental Philosophy (IAEP)
  • Italian Society for Moral Philosophy (SIFM)

Annual dues

March 14, 2023 /

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing this message on behalf of the Board of Directors for the SACP. I have not sent out this message for the past few years because the SACP has not been able to run its annual conference, and also because funds are tight across colleges and universities.

We are now well into 2023, and as you may know, the activities of the SACP for this calendar year require the financial support of its members. If you are able, I kindly request that you submit your annual dues by May 15th. Hopefully you will find these affordable—annual dues are only $50 ($35 for students). Payment can be submitted through Paypal (the preferred method, since it saves on time and paperwork). Please see below for further instructions on how to submit payment.

On behalf of the SACP, I thank you in advance for your support and hope to see you in San Francisco this coming November for our annual conference.

Yours,

Geoff Ashton

SACP Treasurer

INDIAN IN SPIRIT? KARL KRAUSE’S PANENTHEISM AND THE VEDIC TRADITIONS: The Logic and Religion Webinar, March 16

March 14, 2023 /

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to participate in the next session of the Logic and Religion Webinar Series which will be held on March 16, 2023, at 4pm CET with the topic:

INDIAN IN SPIRIT? KARL KRAUSE’S PANENTHEISM AND THE VEDIC TRADITIONS

Speaker: Benedikt Paul Göcke (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany).
Chair: Ricardo Silvestre (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil).

Please, register in advance to access the zoom link:
https://www.logicandreligion.com/webinars

Abstract: Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832) was one of the first European philosophers to appreciate, and draw upon, Indian philosophical and theological traditions. His panentheistic system of philosophy can be seen as a modern version of ancient Indian philosophical thought itself. In my lecture, Krause’s appreciation of the Indian traditions is spelled out in more detail before central features of his panentheism are clarified. Against this background, a brief Krausean interpretation of Krishna’s relation to the world as presented in the Bhagavad Gītā is provided.

Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!

With best wishes,
