[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.
