CALL FOR PAPERS

SCPT’s 2006 Conference

The Theological Turn

in French Phenomenology

March 31-April 1, 2006

Samford University

(Birmingham, Alabama)

Keynote Speakers:

Jean-Yves Lacoste (College of Blandings)

Kevin Hart (University of Notre Dame)

Dominique Janicaud’s critique of a “theological turn” in the work of Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Marion is well known. Only recently, though, has the work of other French phenomenologists, who likewise exemplify that theological turn, become available in English.
            For SCPT's 2006 conference, we are particularly keen to receive papers on these more recently heard voices in French phenomenology, such as Stanislas Breton, Jean-Louis Chrétien, Michel Henry, and Jean-Yves Lacoste. While papers on Levinas and Marion will also be considered, significant interaction with the work of these other voices is strongly encouraged. We also welcome papers on topics on which these French phenomenologists are working (such as the call, the cross, hope, memory, and truth), though again we encourage writers to interact with the work of these more recent voices.

Only complete papers with a maximum of 3,000 words will be accepted. Papers should be prepared for blind review and sent to Jeff.Witt@wheaton.edu as email attachments.

DEADLINE: JANUARY 17, 2006

The Society for Continental Philosophy and Theology seeks to promote inquiry at the intersection of philosophy and theology. For more information about SCPT, visit http://www.scptonline.org.
