Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to a research collaboration event co-organised by the Naturalism, Modernity, and Civilization International Research Network (NMCIRN) and the University of Wollongong: “Liberal Naturalism and Non-Scientific Explanations.” In contemporary Anglo-American discourse about philosophical naturalism, liberal naturalism has been articulated as a novel position which makes room for phenomena that are neither ‘scientific’ nor ‘supernatural’. However, to date, little attention has been given to the form non-scientific explanations take. Our Zoom workshop’s aim is to help create new internationally-reaching conversations about the nature of non-scientific explanations involving persons at the person-level of ordinary language. The event will, therefore, kick-start a new avenue of scholarly research and debate on liberal naturalism. The Zoom workshop is free of charge. However, we kindly ask colleagues interested in participating to register: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/liberal-naturalism-and-non-scientific-explanations-tickets-662164320307 The Zoom link is available there.
