This is not an official PR Workshop event, but it’s in the family: Our coordinator, Anil Mundra, will present some of his own work on how one Indian philosopher addressed epistemological problems of religious diversity at our sister workshop, Theory and Practice in South Asia. That’s this Thursday, October 30, at 4:30pm in Foster 103 at the southeast corner of our University of Chicago campus. See flyer below.
We’ve added a “Links” page to our website! Here we’ve linked to associated workshops and organizations. Hopefully, with time, the list will grow in keeping with our commitment to interdisciplinarity!
Please feel free to peruse this new (and oh so exciting) content.
Hegel’s writings on religion have recently received enthusiastic embrace, qualified endorsement and sceptical refusal. This paper inquires into the questions that his readers put or attribute to Hegel and considers the significance of their answers for the contemporary study of religious traditions, and especially for theology.
Nicholas Adams is Senior Lecturer in Theology and Ethics at the University of Edinburgh. He has published on the relation of German Philosophy to Theology. He is the author of Habermas and Theology (CUP 2006) and Eclipse of Grace: Divine and Human Action in Hegel (Blackwell 2013).
In anticipation of what is certain to be a lively and stimulating talk, please check out this video from 2006 of Amy Hollywood‘s inaugural lecture as Harvard Divinity School’s Elizabeth H. Monrad Professor of Christian Studies. The talk was entitled “Acute Melancholia.”
