CFP: “Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Logic”

August 11, 2022 /

Dear SACP friends,

I would like to share this CFP.

CFP: “Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Logic”
will be held during the 3rd World Congress on Logic and Religion in November (4-8.11. 2022) at IIT Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India.

The aim of this workshop is to explore the philosophical and logical aspects pertaining to religion coming from the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain perspectives. The participants will inquire into how the relations between logic and religion are supported by rational inquiry on religious matters. They will scrupulously examine a wide range of arguments postulated by Indian philosophers, logicians, and theologians. The main themes will center around: the doctrine of karma and the related concepts of suffering, accumulation of merits, and detachment, the belief in an afterlife, rebirth, and/or liberation, the main arguments for the existence and non-existence of a permanent self, and the disputes between the theists and atheists over the existence of the divine realm(s) and God.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

UPDATE: SACP Annual Conference at San Francisco

July 12, 2022 /

Dear Members of the SACP,

This is a brief announcement about our next conference.

Two things to share here:

1. The conference is set to take place at the University of San Francisco in Fall 2023, tentatively on November 9-11, 2023. We hope to be able to confirm this by the end of November 2022. (The cause for this delay is that the process by which we reserve space on campus at USF has become more complicated than usual due to covid protocols.)

2. Given that so much time has passed since we decided upon our next annual conference theme (this decision was made in Bath, England, in Summer 2019), we have decided to keep the Call for Papers open. Please stay tuned for more details (again: hopefully by the end of November 2022).

*We will of course welcome submissions on the previously intended theme.

Thank you for your patience and understanding about these issues.

With best wishes,

The SACP Board
