Continental Philosophy Symposium
April 4-6, 2024
Regents Hall, Lewis Towers, WTC
The so-called 鈥渢heological turn鈥� of the mid-20th Century describes the several ways that Continental philosophy is frequently taken up in Catholic academic settings鈥� both as a courting of religious belief and, as frequently, a way past belief. At the same time, debates within Continental Philosophy about secularization, atheism and the deconstruction of Christianity directly mark the decline of ontotheology in the West, which demands an opening to non-European voices. The rise of these secular forms becomes a critique of the West from within, a self-reflexive gesture made in the wake of the death of Europe鈥檚 God, while also providing liberation for those on the margins of its 鈥榗ivilizing鈥�, violent ethos. This conference hosted an array of leading global voices鈥搒cholars who interrogated these questions and a host of others.
This event was a closed meeting by invitation only.
