Graduate Conference on Religious Experiences (Abstract deadline extended to Feb 14). . . . Keynote Speaker: Dolores Morris . . . . The Philosophy Graduate Student Organization of the University of South Tampa invites submissions to our in person annual graduate conference. The conference will be held at the University of South Florida Tampa on April 13, 2024. The theme of this year’s conference is religious experiences. Some questions that will be discussed include: When is a religious experience warranted? Are religious experiences trustworthy? Can experiencing the death of a loved one be a part of religious experiences? Can science explain religious knowledge? What do believers and non-believers of various stripes say about religious experiences? Do religious experiences inevitably lead to mysticism? Is it sufficient to explain them as psychological or neurophysiological phenomena? In what ways does the philosophy of religion explain religious experiences?. . . . The conference will also discuss various perspectives, such as critical, descriptive, theoretical, comparative, historical, phenomenological, etc., concerning religious experiences. In addition, the conference will explore the interaction between the philosophy of religion and religious experiences, religious or spiritual experiences--their diverse theoretical frameworks--or they can develop new theories based on these experiences. . . . . ***This is an in-person conference.
