Workshop organised by Agnieszka Rostalska, Ghent UniversityKeynote Speaker: Douglas L. Berger, Leiden Universityevent page: https://4wocolor.pl/?w=14#w 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.
Submit a one-page abstract by June 17th here: http://4wocolor.pl/

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing this message on behalf of the Board of Directors for the SACP. I have not sent out this message for the past few years because the SACP has not been able to run its annual conference, and also because funds are tight across colleges and universities.
We are now well into 2023, and as you may know, the activities of the SACP for this calendar year require the financial support of its members. If you are able, I kindly request that you submit your annual dues by May 15th. Hopefully you will find these affordable—annual dues are only $50 ($35 for students). Payment can be submitted through Paypal (the preferred method, since it saves on time and paperwork). Please see below for further instructions on how to submit payment.
On behalf of the SACP, I thank you in advance for your support and hope to see you in San Francisco this coming November for our annual conference.
Yours,
Geoff Ashton
SACP Treasurer

Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to participate in the next session of the Logic and Religion Webinar Series which will be held on March 16, 2023, at 4pm CET with the topic:
INDIAN IN SPIRIT? KARL KRAUSE’S PANENTHEISM AND THE VEDIC TRADITIONS
Speaker: Benedikt Paul Göcke (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany).
Chair: Ricardo Silvestre (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil).
Please, register in advance to access the zoom link:
https://www.logicandreligion.com/webinars
Abstract: Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832) was one of the first European philosophers to appreciate, and draw upon, Indian philosophical and theological traditions. His panentheistic system of philosophy can be seen as a modern version of ancient Indian philosophical thought itself. In my lecture, Krause’s appreciation of the Indian traditions is spelled out in more detail before central features of his panentheism are clarified. Against this background, a brief Krausean interpretation of Krishna’s relation to the world as presented in the Bhagavad Gītā is provided.
Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!
With best wishes,
