Continental Philosophy: The Future of the Theological Turn?
The School of Theology, Philosophy, and Music will host a Philosophy and Theology Symposium called Continental Philosophy: The Future of the Theological Turn?
Date and time: Saturday 12 March, 2016 10:00am – 1:00pm
Location: Mater Dei
This one-day symposium two important thinkers will explore the challenges and prospects of the ‘theological turn’ in Continental Philosophy of Religion. Each of the two sessions will feature a formal response, and the organisers hope to encourage wide discussion among participants and audience.
