4th WORLD CONGRESS ON LOGIC AND RELIGION

Sinaia, Romania

September 3-8, 2023

WORKSHOP

Logic of Reconciliation

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Antonios Kalogerakis

TITLE OF THE KEYNOTE TALK: Face-to-Face: Exploring a Path to Reconciliation Inside the Nature.

ORGANIZERS: Katarzyna Gan-Krzywoszyńska, Piotr Leśniewski, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland/Logica Universalis Association

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

We invite you to submit abstracts to the workshop “Logic of Reconciliation”, where we want to reflect together on the meaning and look for processes and adequate procedures of reconciliation.

We follow this Spanish expression: “God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives.” ("Dios perdona siempre, los hombres a veces y la naturaleza nunca") and therefore we believe that dialogical approach provides original, relevant and profound input towards complex and difficult processes of reconciliation.

According to Martin Buber, relationships are created in three spheres: in our life with nature, with people, and with intelligible forms. The misery of people is related with broken relations with all these three spheres, therefore we propose to reflect on reconciliation with nature, with other human beings (but also with oneself) and with God.

During the workshop we want to focus precisely on dialogical reconciliation because that kind of reconciliation does not require unification.

TOPICS/CALL FOR PAPERS:

Those interested in reconciliation are invited to submit their proposals on any aspect related to this subject. Topics may include, but are not restricted to:
