CALL FOR PAPERS for a topical issue of "Open Theology" journal EXISTENTIAL CONCEPTIONS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY
(second call)
Edited by: Steven DeLay (Wake Forest University) Nikolaas Deketelaere (University of Oxford) Elizabeth Li (University of Oxford)
DESCRIPTION
We invite submissions for the topical issue of "Open Theology" (www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth)
entitled “Existential Conceptions of the Relationship between Philosophy
and Theology”. This issue is prepared in connection with the conference
“Figuring Existence” held in collaboration with the Centre of Theology and
Modern European Thought, University of Oxford. This special issue aims to explore and reflect on the ways in which the
relationship between philosophy and theology is conceived, problematised, and
illuminated in existential or existentialist thought. In contributing to this
discussion, papers could for example address the relationship between
philosophy and theology through existential analysis of philosophically and
theologically significant themes, such as freedom, paradox, sin, salvation,
grace, reason and more; papers could also address this relationship by
discussing the positions of specific existential or existentialist thinkers on
this issue (we understand this group of thinkers broadly, so as to include for
example Augustine, Pascal, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Jaspers, Sartre,
de Beauvoir, Camus, Tillich, Bultmann, Falque and others); or papers could
sketch what the very notion of existential analysis might tell us about
philosophy and theology today. This issue thus seeks to address the complex and long-contested question of
philosophy and theology’s relationship through an existential lens and thereby
shed further light on the possible points of interaction and conflict between
philosophy and theology as academic disciplines and modes of reflection.
We invite submissions from the conference presenters and also from the authors
who will not attend the conference.
