Philosophy of Religion in the East and West


The 2nd International Conference
 
 
krakow_meetings_2024b_-_plakat-600.jpg
The modern post secular turn, proclaimed by Jürgen Habermas and, to some extent, several other researchers (including Franz Rosenzweig, Peter Berger, Charles Taylor, Jose Casanova, Giorgio Agamben, and others), not only actualizes the problem of the relationship between religious and secular, but also expands the understanding of the philosophy of religion. Secularization processes have not led to the death of religion, but rather to a renewed understanding of its value and role, and as a result, the importance of studying religious paradigms and thought. More and more researchers are showing interest in Christianity, Islam, and other religious traditions.
In our time, the multicultural world leads us to a new level of scientific discussion about interfaith and interreligious dialogue, promoting the search for new, adequate forms of this dialogue. This is why there is a pressing need for analyzing different traditions of understanding religion, i.e. in the philosophy of religion. The aim of our conference is to create a common intellectual space for dialogue between traditions of philosophy of religion in the West and East.
We believe that this will contribute to enriching the practice of philosophy and expanding contemporary debates in this discourse. We hope that this project will not only benefit new academic research in the field of religious studies, but also new socio cultural ties.
