In addition to the regular SACP panel, the SACP will host a mini-symposium on the intercultural thought of Raimon Panikkar at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion in Denver. This symposium is made possible by private donations. It will take place on November 16 (Friday), the day before the official beginning of the AAR program in order to avoid any scheduling conflict.
Raimon Panikkar's thought covers a wide range of spectrum from theology to philosophy, culminating in the praxis of diatopical dialogue that aims at facilitating interreligious and intercultural mutual understanding and mutual enrichment. The purpose of this year's symposium is to celebrate the centenary of Panikkar's birth, as well as the book launching of Raimon Panikkar: A Companion (Cambridge: James Clark, 2018), ed., Peter Phan & Young-chan Ro.
The themes of this year's symposium is:
Philosophical (and theological) critique of Panikkar's interreligious intercultural thought, especially in dialogue with various religious, including philosophical and secular traditions.
