Call for Proposals

This Consultation seeks paper proposals related to the Mediterranean, including such topics as:

• Ancient Mediterranean forerunners of humanism

Mission

This Consultation seeks to open a space of reflection at the intersection between various positions that fall under the general title of “humanism” and the contemporary study of religion. This reflection includes philosophical, historical, and comparative methodologies. We provide a forum for scholars exploring the following:

• The historical legacy of religious humanism
• The traditional humanist concern with rhetoric as a means to study religion
• The offer of critiques and constructive reappraisals of humanism as a contemporary theological and philosophical stance
