*The Category of “Nature” and Anthropocentrism of Philosophy of Religion*

We seek individual papers and panel proposals organized around topics that
use ‘nature’ as a key category for philosophy of religion. Proposals should
emphasize ‘nature’ as a concept for the philosophy of religion.

 The dichotomy of "nature" and "culture" is a by-product of the
Enlightenment, where nature is conceptualized as something to be observed,
analyzed, and studied by humans from an anthropocentric standpoint. Nature
is thereby framed as an "other,” separate or disconnected from humans and
other entities. Classic philosophy of religion often reflects this
bifurcation while proving God's existence or establishing God's attributes
(e.g., natural theology). The effect is to limit the field’s analytical
scope. We seek proposals for papers or full panels on any topic



Non-AAR members can submit proposals as ”guests.”
