Study group Christian Philosophy

This study group has a dual aim: (1) to create a platform for Ph.D. students, junior scholars, and senior scholars who are interested in and/or working on issues in Christian philosophy (broadly construed) to meet each other and exchange ideas and (2) to discuss various kinds of scholarly work in progress by participants, such as papers, conference presentations, or research proposals and plans.

While the group has its intellectual origins in what is known as ‘reformational philosophy’ (as conceived by the Dutch philosophers Herman Dooyeweerd and Dirk Vollenhoven), its current scope is significantly broader than this tradition. It welcomes participants who are interested in any kind of philosophical reflection from a Christian perspective.

Topics for discussion either focus on philosophical themes in relation to Christianity (e.g., being, truth, knowledge, the good, religion, etc.), or on themes in the sciences, ethics, and professional practices, also in relation to Christianity (e.g., themes relating to normativity, responsibility, care, natural and social sciences, politics, economics, environmental sciences, technology, etc.).
