親愛的朋友及同事:
    我們誠邀您參加“10th Logos International Forum (LIF): 信仰與當代社會及文化議題”的跨學科國際論壇。本次論壇將於香港浸會大學善衡校園5月3日(星期六)舉行。
    在慶祝 Logos International Forum十周年之際,我們深感榮幸並由衷感謝來自中國大陸、香港、臺灣及美國的學者和專業人士的參與及支持,共聚一堂。我們特別感謝主辦單位香港浸會大學文學及社會科學院中華基督宗教研究中心的大力支持,提供場地設施及行政支援;並有本港其他三個機構通力合作,為本屆論壇安排內容充實的四大主題研討:香港浸會大學中華基督宗教研究中心負責「信仰與中國文化」,香港整存普及健康精神協會負責「信仰與心理健康」,香港專業人才服務機構負責「信仰與職場」,亞洲科學與信仰學會負責「信仰與科學」。
        論壇為與會志同道合者提供機會,分題探討他們關注的社會及文化議題。「信仰與中國文化」及 「信仰與科學」聚焦信仰的理性探討,而「信仰與職場」及 「信仰與心理健康」則檢視影響社會整體發展的關鍵議題。儘管短短數小時的交流僅能初步觸及這些深邃主題,但本次論壇的意義在於展現信仰在當代廣泛社會與文化議題中的現實相關性。我們期望能鼓勵基督徒在信仰基礎上,建立整全的世界觀,超越聖俗二分的觀念障礙,實踐融入生活各個層面的信仰。

[Call for Papers] Inaugural Conference of the Asian Society for Philosophy of Religion



Theme: Challenges to Religious Worldviews: East-West Dialogue
Dates: 13–15 August 2025
Location: Hong Kong Baptist University

 

The Asian Society for Philosophy of Religion (ASPR) is a philosophical society formed by philosophers of religion who are based in Asia, with the aim to promote the development of philosophy of religion in Asia and its exchange with the rest of the world. The society is delighted to announce its inaugural conference, which will take place on 13–15 August 2025 in Hong Kong.

The conference theme, “Challenges to Religious Worldviews: East-West Dialogue,” aims to address pressing questions, both philosophical and/or social, facing religious worldviews today. Drawing on insights from both contemporary analytic philosophy and the diverse cultural and religious traditions of Asia, we seek to facilitate new grounds of academic reflection and exchange that will uniquely contribute to the global philosophy of religion.

For those whose papers are accepted, their meals and lodging during the conference period in Hong Kong will be covered by the organizers.
