CALL FOR PAPERS

THE 49th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN MARITAIN ASSOCIATION

Thursday, March 19, to Saturday, March 21, 2025

Hosted by Hosted by Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA

 

§ Reading the Signs of the Time:

Maritain on History and Contemporary Culture § 

Throughout his long career, from Three Reformers (1925) to The Peasant of the Garonne (1966), Jacques Maritain showed an acute awareness of how historical movements shape the opportunities and challenges faced by contemporary society. Our own era is fraught with an entire spectrum of developments that appear to be inevitable in the eyes of secularists, but which can be read as decisive repudiations of reality, of the true, the good, and the beautiful.

We invite papers that consider this interplay between past and present in any area of philosophical inquiry: science, ethics, politics, art, religion. We also invite papers on any topic that engages with the thought of Maritain or the perennial tradition in philosophy.

The plenary speakers are noted scholars who have dealt directly with the consequences  arising from the distortions of modern thought:  Ed Feser (Pasadena City College); John Finley (Thomas Aquinas College); Chris Kaczor (Loyola Marymount); and, Steven D. Smith (University of San Diego Law School).

            Please send proposals of up to 500 words to Dr. James Murdoch at MaritainAssoc...@gmail.com by January 15, 2026. Final presentations should be 25-30 minutes in length. All presentations will be in person.

            The conference registration fee is $150 ($60 for students). The optional conference banquet is an additional $70. Membership in the American Maritain Association is $100 ($50 for students). We encourage online payment by March 1, 2025. Registration after that will be $185.00 ($75.00 for students).
