[Asec] Reminder CFP| APA Pacific 2023| Panel on Perception in Religious/Spiritual Experience

[Olga Louchakova-Schwartz]

*Perception in Religious/Spiritual Experience*

https://sophere.org/apa-participation/pacific/

This is a call for contributions to panels of the Society for the
Phenomenology of Religious Experience, to be hold at the meeting of
the Pacific Division of the American Philosophical Association in San
Francisco in April 2023  (for specifics please visit the APA website)

We invite phenomenalistic (empirical) and phenomenological (Husserlian or
any other kinds of phenomenology) accounts of perception in religious and
spiritual experience (RSA). Examples of such experiences may include a
variety of meditation experience; experiences of traditional piety
(Christian, Buddhist, Islamic and other);  spontaneous experiences, e.g.
while reading religious texts, experience of "spiritual emergence", and
conversion; experience of devotion or prayer, etc., as well as experiences
described in the first-person perspective by Merleau-Ponty, Lacoste,
Husserl (HUA XVII), Schopenhauer, Fichte, Scheler or other philosophers. It
can be also experiences described in traditional texts, e.g.  by St. Paul,
Milarepa, or Sri Ramana Maharshi.  However, these papers should be not
merely accounts of perception, but high-quality research studies linked to
familiar philosophical topics.  A descriptive account must
be accompanied by philosophical reflection, either along the lines of
phenomenological theory or reaching into the philosophy of
mind, metaphysics, logic, or the analysis of language. Thus, the analysis
of perception in RSE should serve as a ground for philosophizing.
Cross-cultural comparisons are encouraged.

receive a response email acknowledging your submission.  The deadline for
submission is September 10; notifications of acceptance will be sent out by
