Theme: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Catholic Realism in a Postmodern World
Conference Description/Call For Papers:
We live in a destabilized world, one in which the claims of postmodernism have attempted to destroy the logos—language, reason, history, a coherent anthropology, and indeed truth itself—and the Logos—the incarnate Word in the person of Christ. This conference aims to explore the manifold ways in which Catholicism provides a counter to postmodern error and contains within itself an approach to realism that can help mediate even its own internal struggles.
We invite abstracts of no more than 300 words (for papers between 20 and 30 minutes in length) on topics touching on this theme from vantage points including theology, philosophy, literature, law, psychology, education, and medical science.
* Please submit your abstract to Miriam Westen at westenmiriam@gmail.com by July 31st.
