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.
