INDIAN RELIGIONS AND THE CONCEPT OF GOD

An Online Workshop

Feb 13, 9:00-10:30am CET and 3:00-4:30pm CET.

Feb 14, 3:00-4:30pm CET

https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-AlgCp81lrtzrOXjJfGHfdr?domain=logicandreligion.com<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-AlgCp81lrtzrOXjJfGHfdr?domain=logicandreligion.com>vaishnava-concept-of-god

The purpose of the online workshop INDIAN RELIGIONS AND THE CONCEPT OF GOD is to explore Indian concepts of God from a global philosophical perspective. Accepting that there are different conceptions of divinity among the Indian religious and philosophical traditions, we might pose the following questions: How can these concepts of God be philosophically characterized?  Are the Indian traditions’ concepts of God really monotheistic in the Western sense of the term? Or are they closer to panentheism, henotheism or polytheism? What divine properties do the traditions ascribe to their respective divinity? What is their relationship with Western philosophical accounts of God? Each speaker in the workshop will explore a concept of God in one of the main Indian traditions or texts.

The workshop will be held on Zoom. There will be no fee for participation. Registration however will be required (via https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Y2UrCq71mwfOAkmpxhNgXiT?domain=logicandreligion.com<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/9H9sCr81nytAKnL5zTNnT3f?domain=logicandreligion.com>).

The workshop is part of “A Philosophical Approach to the Vaiṣṇava Concept of God,” a project funded by the John Templeton Foundation through the Global Philosophy of Religion Project, hosted by the University of Birmingham (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/hbwkCvl1rKiWmLMDPFyp0lx?domain=global-philosophy.org<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/hbwkCvl1rKiWmLMDPFyp0lx?domain=global-philosophy.org>).
