FIGURING EXISTENCE<\/p>\n

A Postgraduate Conference in Existential Analysis<\/p>\n

Friday 1st<\/sup>\u00a0March 2019<\/p>\n

University of Oxford<\/p>\n

United Kingdom<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keynote Speaker: Kate Kirkpatrick (King\u2019s College London)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Organisers: Elizabeth Xiao-an Li and Nikolaas Deketelaere<\/p>\n

Centre for Theology and Modern European Thought<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno summarised the guiding motive of those intellectual approaches we might nowadays call\u00a0existentialist<\/em>\u00a0by saying that \u201cphilosophy is a product of the humanity of each philosopher, and each philosopher is a man of flesh and bone who addresses himself to other men of flesh and bone like himself. And, let him do what he will, he philosophizes not with reason only, but with the will, with the feelings, with the flesh and with the bones, with the whole soul and the whole body. It is the man that philosophizes.\u201d Yet, it is perhaps also because of definitions as broad as this one that Jean-Paul Sartre felt that \u201cthe word is now so loosely applied to so many things that it no longer means anything at all.\u201d This conference aims to provide a sketch of the style of thinking that can broadly be conceived of as\u00a0existential analysis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In connection with the conference, we are also inviting submissions to\u00a0a special edition of\u00a0Open Theology\u00a0<\/em>on the topic “Existential Conceptions of the Relationship between Theology and Philosophy”. The CFP is attached below and submissions are due in May.<\/p>\n
