Call for Proposals

This Seminar focuses on the ways in which, beginning from categories of other religions, Western/Christian concepts and categories can be rethought in terms of these categories. Such an approach acknowledges that within Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Confucianism, and Daoism there are well developed and highly sophisticated thinkers and schools. This year, we will focus on a recently edited publication After Appropriation: Explorations in Intercultural Philosophy and Religion (ed. by Morny Joy, University of Calgary Press, 2011), whereby all members of the Seminar have contributed.

Mission

Traditional comparative philosophies of religion and comparative theologies, insofar as they existed, have largely integrated the non-Western, non-Christian, “other” into Western categories. We investigate ways in which, beginning from categories of other religions, Western/Christian categories can be rethought in terms of these categories. Such an approach acknowledges that within Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Confucianism, and Daoism there are well-developed and highly sophisticated thinkers and schools.
