Call For Papers
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SUBMISSION PROCESS! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION


• What is a Philosophical Work? - In considering what a philosophical work is, the contributors are asked to treat of the status of philosophical writing, i.e. what constitutes a properly philosophical work. Is methodological rigor the criterion by means of an appeal to which we establish the philosophical nature of a text? If so, what is the proper philosophical method? What are the implications of such an understanding? Is a work properly philosophical when it deals with certain themes proper to philosophy? What can and cannot be said by philosophy, as such? Submissions should be sent to submit@examinedlifejournal.com

  Deadline for submission is 15 July 2004
  
  

• 

  Is Christian Philosophy Possible? - In considering the possibility of Christian Philosophy, contributors ought to address the question of the relationship between faith and reason, the history of thought in the West, the status of modern attempts to rationalize Christian faith, or to de-rationalize that same. Further questions of import are: what is faith? What is reason? Is the Anglo-analytic tradition correct in asserting that faith is essentially reducible to assertions (propositions), so that, in order for faith to be philosophically relevant, it must be stripped of its experiential contents and presented propositionally? Is the fides quaerens intellectum, the modus eessendi of the Christian philosopher, universally intelligible in actu? What are the proper limits of natural theological discourse? Given the Christian understanding of faith, can the Christian engage in natural theology (itself a technical term coined by a Christian thinker)? Submissions should be sent to submit@examinedlifejournal.com

  Deadline for submission is 15 October 2004
