Philosophy of Religion: Creation, Creativity, and the Logic of Religious Discourse

Workshop Organized by Fábio Bertato and Nicola Salvatore, UNICAMP: State University of Campinas, SP, Brazil

In this workshop, we aim to address a number of interdependent questions at the intersection between Logic and Philosophy of Religion.

In particular, we aim to cast light on the nature, the logic and the internal coherence of religious discourse, and especially of the notions of Creation.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Karl Josef Romer

Emeritus Bishop of the Archdiocese of St Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro
