The Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge, UK, has announced its annual conference, taking place between 8-10 September 2014, at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. The conference will address the topic: Logos – Cosmos – Eros: Horizons and Limitations of Russian Religious Philosophy.
The aim of the conference is twofold. First, it discusses and evaluates the reception of Byzantine theology and philosophy by Russian religious thinkers in the 19th and 20th century. Second, the conference will examine the relevance of Russian Religious Philosophy to the contemporary world. The conference will explore how far these vast but largely untapped intellectual resources can help us construct a genuinely Christian vision of God, of the world and of the self in the 21st century.
Speakers include: Metropolitan Kallistos Ware Dr Clemena Antonova (Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna) Dr Ruth Coates (University of Bristol) Dr Brandon Gallaher (University of Oxford) Revd Prof Nikolaos Loudovikos (University Ecclesiastical Academy of Thessaloniki) Revd Prof Andrew Louth (University of Durham) Prof Artur Mrówczynski-Van Allen (Institute of Philosophy Edith Stein, ICSCO, Theological Institute Lumen Gentium, Granada) Dr Christoph Schneider (IOCS) Dr Natalia Vaganova (St. Tikhon’s Orthodox University, Moscow) Prof Evert van der Zweerde (Radboud University Nijmegen)
