[INDOLOGY] CFP: Argumentation in World Religious Traditions, Including Legal Traditions, Sinaia, Sept 3-8, 2023 - Extended Deadline June 17

[Agnieszka Rostalska]

Workshop organised by Agnieszka Rostalska, Ghent University
Keynote Speaker: Douglas L. Berger, Leiden University

Formalized approaches to philosophical argumentation, conducted in specific
genres of debate, were developed in most World Religious Traditions, and
are not at all exclusively distinctive of “Western” philosophical
disputation.

This workshop, part of the 4th World Congress on Logic and Religion,
explores cross-cultural perspectives on argumentation, specifically, those
that governed how different traditions engaged in philosophical debates.

Suggested topics include - but are not limited to - the following:

   - Argumentation - the epistemic standards of rational reflection;
   - Application of argumentative techniques for understanding religious
   phenomena;
   - Formal approaches to philosophico-religious arguments: especially the
   frameworks of inference, suppositional reasoning, parallelism, deductive
   reasoning, logical fallacies, contradictions and debate;
   - Techniques for defending/challenging/persuading (including misleading
   an opponent) in situations of doubt or disagreement, especially:
   certification, persuasion, refutation, and trickery in debate;
   - Comparison – differences and commonalities in argumentative practices
   across cultures.

The participants will inquire into how the relations between logic and
religion are supported by rational inquiry. They will scrupulously examine
a wide range of arguments postulated by philosophers and logicians.

Papers with comparative and/or cross-cultural components are particularly
welcome.
