In addition to the pre-invited discussants and authors, the FS Committee is issuing a call for papers for presentation and discussion. Submissions are accepted on critiques, comparison and historical developments of prominent theories of truth applied to the phenomenon of human perception, including from the experimental method of modern science. Theories of especial interest would be Correspondence, Thomistic, Pragmatist, and from the field of Phenomenology.
The format of the symposium favours discussion: papers are made available to all participants three weeks prior to the meeting. Each 75 minute session begins with a short summation, with the remaining time devoted to intensive discussion among authors and participants.
All submissions should adhere to the guidelines here: Faith Symposium 2024 – Faith Movement

Space is limited as total number of attendees at the symposium will not be greater than 25. A fee of £250 will be requested from those then subsequently invited to attend.
