CFP: Naturalising Religion: Kazimierz Naturalist Workshop 2012

[Morgan Luck]

 
> *Call for papers*
>
> Recent scientific research treating religion as a natural,
> cognitive/cultural phenomenon that is the product of evolutionary processes
> has the potential to fundamentally alter how philosophers discuss religion.
> The aim of the workshop is to explore this potential by examining questions
> such as: What kinds of new philosophical questions regarding religion can
> now be meaningfully pursued? What is the significance, if any, of the
> current research for traditional issues in philosophy of religion? Is there
> scope for a new, naturalist philosophy of religion? Or is it simply that
> philosophy of religion has come to an end?
>
