[SydPhil] Reminder: Zoom Workshop on Liberal Naturalism and Non-Scientific Explanations, July 19-21

[Sally Cole]

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://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/bfWuCGv0oyCByRvXAFKMHIb?domain=eventbrite.co.uk

The Zoom link is available there.
