INQUIRIES INTO EPISTEMOLOGY OF THEISM: A SEMINAR IN RELIGIOUS EPISTEMOLOGY Université de Lorraine Maison des Sciences de l’Homme – Lorraine 91, Avenue de la Libération 54000 Nancy 3e étage organisé par Paul Clavier et Roger Pouivet (Université de Lorraine, Archives Poincaré - CNRS) Theism is the metaphysical thesis according to which there exists a spirit (a non-physical reality), present everywhere, the creator and sustainer of the universe, free, able to do everything (omnipotent), knowing everything (omniscient), perfectly good, source of moral obligation, immutable, eternal, holy and worthy of worship. The purpose of the seminar is to examine some lively epistemological questions about theism. Is it rational? How to think disagreements between theists and non-theists, atheists, agnostics? What can we really know about God? Le séminaire se déroulera la langue anglaise. Un programme en pdf et une affiche seront disponibles (sur le site) au début du mois de mai. https://poincare.univ-lorraine.fr/fr/manifestations/inquiries-epistemology-theism-seminar-religious-epistemology Les personnes souhaitant assister au séminaire sont les bienvenues; il est souhaitable qu’elles signalent, à l’avance, leur présence. roger.poui...@univ-lorraine.fr Program 18 June 1:15-1:30 Welcome 1:30-2:30 Cyrille Michon (Université de Nantes) “Credere Deum, (credere in Deum), Credere Deo” Respondent: Michael Bergmann 2:30-3:30 Michael Bergmann (Purdue University) “Can Christians Plausibly Explain Their Religious Disagreements with Non-Christians?” Respondant: Cyrille Michon 3:50-4:50 Andrea Aguti (University of Urbino) “On Roger Pouivet's Religious Exclusivism” Respondant: Roger Pouivet 19 June 9:30-10-30 Michel Bastit (Université de Bourgogne) “Negative or Positive Theology?” Respondant: Frédéric Nef 10:50-11:50 Yann Schmitt (CPGE, Paris 1) “Accepting as a Gain in Rationality” Respondant: Gabriele de Anna 11:50-12h50 Gabriele de Anna (University of Bamberg) “Values and Knowledge of God” Respondant: Anthony Feneuil 2:00-3:00 Jeffrey Brower (Purdue University) “God as Spatially Located—Aquinas on Omnipresence” Respondant: Winfried Löffler 3:00-4:00 Jean-Baptiste Guillon (Collège de France) “Semi-reformed Epistemology: Basic Providentialism but Inferential Monotheism” Respondant: Jeffrey Brower 4:20-5:20 Ide Levi (CPGE, ENS) “Can a Personal Entity be the Supreme Good?” Respondant: Michel Bastit 20 June 10:00-11:00 Winfried Löffler (University of Innsbrück) “Swinburne on the probability of God’s existence.
