Organiser: Marcin Trepczyński, University of Warsaw

This workshop is devoted to various aspects of argumentation in religious discourse, from formal analysis of proofs of theological statements, to identification of persuasive strategies in religious debates.

The papers should both refer to religious discourse and include logical analysis.

Topics may include, but are not restricted to:

• new insights related to proofs of the existence of God and of other theological statements,
• kinds of argumentation in theological works,
• argumentative strategies in religious debates, including persuasive strategies,
• methodological challenges concerning interpretation of the religious arguments' structure (annotation, diagramming etc.),
• new applications and perspectives of analysing arguments in religious discourse.

We we invite all the scholars who would like to present their results, to submit abstracts by June 10, 2023, directly to Marcin Trepczyński: m.trepczynski@uw.edu.pl
