Call for Papers "Truth, Reason, and Faith in Modern Civilization" Inaugural Asian Conference on Ethics, Religion and Philosophy International Academic Forum Osaka (Japan) 20-22 March 2011 __________________________________________________ The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners is proud to announce the Inaugural Asian Conference on Ethics, Religion and Philosophy, to be held from March 20-22 2011, at the Ramada Osaka, Osaka, Japan. CONFERENCE THEME: "Truth, Reason, and Faith in Modern Civilization" Where better than Japan to explore dynamic and exciting cultural collisions of East and West? As the first and only developed non-Western country, Japan is an amazing juxtaposition of cultures, of ancient and modern, and of religious and secular. As such it is the perfect backdrop to what promises to be an exciting interdisciplinary and intercultural discussion, based around questions of Ethics, Religion and Philosophy. The aim of this International Conference is to encourage academics, scholars and practitioners representing a exciting diversity of countries, cultures, and religion to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue. By bringing together a number of university scholars working throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to share ideas, ACERP 2011 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond. As with IAFOR's other events, and in line with its "Education Without Borders" initiative, academics working in Japan and Asia will be encouraged to forge working relationships with each other, as well as with colleagues from Europe, the US, and beyond, facilitating partnerships across borders. The organizers encourage submissions that approach the conference theme from a variety of perspectives. However, the submission of other topics for consideration is welcome and we also encourage sessions within and across a variety of disciplines and fields related to Ethics, Religion and Philosophy, including the following streams: Philosophy: - Philosophy and Religion - Philosophy and the Arts - Philosophy and Public Policy - Philosophy and Technology - Philosophy and Culture - Philosophy and Education - Philosophy and Peace Studies - Comparative Philosophy - Linguistics, Language and Philosophy Ethics: - Medical Ethics - Business and Management Ethics - Ethics in Education - Ethics, law, and Justice - Ethics and Globalization - Ethics and Science - Comparative Ethics - Linguistics, Language and Ethics Religion: - Theism and Atheism - Feminism and Religious Traditions - Religion and Education - Religion and Peace Studies - Mysticism, Faith, and Scientific Culture - Interfaith Dialogue - Comparative Religion - Linguistics, Language and Religion Interdisciplinary: - Conflict Resolution and Mediation Studies The abstract submissions deadline is December 1, 2010.
