Call for Papers Theme: Paul Ricœur in Asia Subtitle: Reflections on Politics, Society, and Religion Type: International Conference Institution: Ateneo de Manila University University of Santo Tomas Location: Quezon City / Manila (Philippines) Date: 19.–21.11.2015 Deadline: 21.8.2015 __________________________________________________ Paul Ricœur is one of the most distinguished philosophers of the 21st century. Concerned with philosophical anthropology and “the capable human being,” he engaged the capabilities, without ignoring the vulnerabilities, that human beings display in the social activities that make up their ordinary and authentic lives. In celebration of his tenth death anniversary, this international conference focuses on Ricœur’s oeuvre and its relationship to politics, society, and religion, particularly in Asia. Interpreting Ricœur from these multicultural, plural, and diverse perspectives allows us to work for global collaboration, solidarity, and unity.
