5 - 7 October 2012
The theme is to be interpreted broadly and from the disciplines of
philosophy, theology, social science, literature and the arts. Topics
that might be investigated include: ways of knowing in science, ethics,
aesthetics and religion; the unconscious and the subconscious; art and
expression; the ineffable in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and
Buddhism; mystery and mediation; the meaning of art; language and the
emotions.
The conference specifically aims to foster interaction between scholars
in the universities and scholars in theological colleges. It also
encourages young scholars.
