Members' Seminar, June 15-18, 2009
The Future of Process Thought
Conference Organizers: Randy Auxier and Vaughan McTernan
The seminar focused on the future of process thought particularly in regard
to the interface between liberal religious thought and philosophy in metaphysics,
epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. The featured speaker was Dan
Dombrowski, philosopher, theologian, and ethicist from Seattle University. His
books Rawls and Religion and Divine Beauty, along with plenary
papers responding to these works, will be the initial focal point for discussions
on the conference topic. Concurrent conference papers will extend the
discussion beyond the featured works to give a broad view of the future of process thought.
Dan Dombrowski, Vaughan McTernan, and Jon Taylor
lead a session at the June, 2009, seminar.
HIARPT and AJTP Session at AAR in Chicago
The fall meeting was held at the Chicago Hilton on Monday, November 3, 2008.
In the absence
of Robert Neville, who was still in transit, the HIARPT business meeting was
convened by Michael Raposa. Following the meeting, the annual
AJTP Lecture was given by David Conner on the subject "Whitehead
the Naturalist." Conner argued that Whitehead's philosophy can be interpreted
more naturalistically and empirically than it often is and that it is
helpful to distinguish between "right-wing" and "left-wing" process theologians.
A response was presented by Tom Howe, a new member of HIARPT. A period of
discussion followed. The lecture and response were later published in the journal.
