We are seeking abstracts (15 0-350 words) from those interested in participating. The tentative date is 15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Pa rticipants with accepted submissions will be given hotel accommodations an d a modest honorarium to help defray travel costs.
\nTheme
\nThe overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign reli gious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious beliefs. But religious experiences of the kind philosophers are intereste d in are also studied in other fields as well\, such as psychology and rel igious studies. However\, the psychology and epistemology of religious exp eriences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely to be insightful in various ways. To that end\, we are interested in brin ging together scholars working on the psychology and epistemology of relig ious experiences. Potential topics include:
\n· The nature of religious experiences
\n· Taxonomies of religious experiences< /p>\n
· Potential psychological mechanisms and accounts of religio us experience
\n· The relation between perception and religiou s experiences
\n· The epistemology of religious experience
\n· The interactions between the psychology and epistemology of r eligious experience
\n· The relation of cognitive science of r eligion to religious experience
\nAny proposed papers on these topic s\, or similar ones\, are welcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary appr oaches are also welcome.
\nInstructions
\nPlease submit an abstract (150-350 words)\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full pap er to Timothy Perrine at tp654@scarletmail.rutgers.edu. Submission should be prepa red for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, in stitutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information. Submiss ion deadline is 28 February\; acceptances will be decided by 5 March\; and the workshop will be held 15-16 April.

\n“Training the Impartial Spectator: Adam Smith and the Epistolary Novel “

\nIn better times\, this talk may have been given as a detaile d account of the practices and side stories that had been part of the just published anthology titled Tolstoy as Philosopher (2022)\, a res ult of a quarter-century work on Tolstoy’s manuscripts and research at int ernational archives. The finished book can be abstracted as follows.
\nBeginning with Tolstoy’s first extant records of his written œuvre\, th e anthology assembles seventy-seven unabridged texts that cover more than seven decades of his life\, from 1835 to 1910. It constitutes the most co mplete single-volume edition to date of the rich variety of Tolstoy’s phil osophical output: apothegmatic sayings\, visions\, intimate sketchbook and day notes\, book reviews\, open letters\, dialogues\, pedagogic talks\, p ublic lectures\, programs and rules for personal behavior\, fictions\, and reminiscences.
\n\n
It was the insolvable\, the “scandalous\ ,” problems of philosophy that never gave Tolstoy any rest: freedom of the will\, religious tolerance\, gender inequality\, the tonal shape of music \, the value of healthy life habits\, the responsibilities of teaching\, f orms of social protest\, cognitive development\, science in society\, the relation between body and mind\, charity and labor\, human dignity and pub lic service\, sexual psychology\, national war doctrines\, suicide\, indiv idual sacrifice\, the purposes of making art. And always: What are the so urces of violence? Why should we engage in politics? Why do we need govern ments? How can one practice non-violence? What is the meaning of our irrep ressible desire to seek and find meaning? Why can’t we live without loving ? The typeset proofs of his final insights were brought to Tolstoy for app roval when he was already on his deathbed. No matter their brevity or the occasion on which they were written\, these works exemplify Tolstoy as an artistically inventive and intellectually absorbing thinker.
\n\n
Most of the newly translated and thoroughly annotated texts have neve r been available in English. Among the notable archival restorations is t he text titled “Tolstoy on Venezuela\,” an authentic first publication in English of “Patriotism\, or Peace?” (1896) that had been personal ly checked by Tolstoy and deemed lost. In the inaugural piece\, a seven-ye ar-old Tolstoy describes violent but natural animal life in contrast with the lazy life of a peaceful barnyard in the countryside. The last entry in the anthology written by an eighty-year-old Tolstoy for his grandchildren provides a lesson on vegetarianism and non-violence that a hungry wolf te aches a hungry boy during their conversation when both are on their way to lunch.
\n\n
The anthology was being copyedited when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24\, 2022. After having provided the n ecessary grounding for Tolstoy’s place within the Russian philosophical tr adition and explaining his overall reception and standing\, the speaker wi ll comment on the implications of this unfolding historic tragedy for the current moment and the future\, in order to then open the floor for genera l discussion.
