Call For Papers

Expanded Reason Congress

The Expanded Reason Congress is based on the same mission that the Expanded Reason Awards have, together with the proposal of Benedict XVI: to establish a dialogue between the particular sciences and philosophy and theology, with the aim of knowing reality in all its breadth, leaving out the scientific and utilitarian reductionisms that permeate our postmodern society.

The Expanded Reason project (Awards and Congress) seeks researchers and teachers who, from their particular sciences, ask themselves about the reality that appeals to them, taking into account anthropology, epistemology, ethics and the underlying meaning of what they study.

CONTEXT
In the context of research focused on going beyond the pragmatism and scientism that governs (or guides) our society in general, and the academic world in particular—a reality that prevents the integrating knowledge and broader understanding of reality that encompasses the objects of study in an orderly manner—the Expanded Reason Congress opens this Call for Papers to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and to promote a dialogue that seeks to answer those questions that arise when scientific rationality can´t fully respond to reality.

We are conscious of the need for a dialogue that starts from the sciences and reaches towards Philosophy and/or Theology, a dialogue which may allow us to extricate ourselves from a self-referential sense of reason that has become independent of the roots that give it meaning.

Researchers are called to submit works that seek to promote university answers to these questions: anthropological, epistemological, ethical and meaning. They are, at least, the questions that allow us to seek the knowledge of the ultimate truth.

The selection of scientific, theoretical and empirical works, as well as teaching works that preferably include innovations in the teaching of subjects based on the four questions, will be published on our website and will become part of a monograph to be published around January 2019.



THEMATIC PROPOSAL
The proposals should answer the following question in a comprehensive way: WHAT IS THE HUMAN PERSON?

The organizers encourage submissions that approach this theme from a variety of perspectives. However, the submission of other topics for consideration is also welcome. We additionally encourage sessions across a variety of interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives. Hereunder we propose some questions which tackle this problem from different areas of knowledge:

Women and men: the same but different?
Are we more than our brain? Indetermination or biological determination
When does human life begin?
What makes man different from other animals?
What can literature say about human life?
Does transhumanism suppose a new ethic for humans?
Which kind of impact has digital consume on human’s life?
Can we talk about mystery in relation to science?
When does human life end?
Does neuroscience demonstrate that our decisions are predetermined?
Is man a product of the culture?
Are we able to know absolute truth?
What are emotions and feelings for?
Why do we suffer? Physical, psychical and spiritual pain?
What is love?
Is family still having a value in society?
What are Human Rights?
What is Natural Law?
Did science replace religion?
Why is religion an universal phenomenon?
What is human dignity?
Can an avatar be free?
Can man be happy?
What can art say about man?


SENDING
Communications should be sent via email to: congress@expandedreason.org

It is mandatory to complete and send the pre-registration form once the abstract has been submitted.
