Philosophy and Islamic Mysticism: Rābi‘a al-‘Adawiyya
2019-05-02 10:00 - 2019-05-03 16:00 | Paderborn University, Warburger Str. 100, Paderborn, 33098, Germany
Announcement: Workshop
The diversity project In der Philosophie zu Hause (At Home in Philosophy) is organizing a workshop on Islamic mysticism in cooperation with the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists at Paderborn University, Germany. The workshop „Philosophy and Islamic Mysticism: Rābi‘a al-‘Adawiyya“ under the direction of Prof. Dr. Ruth Hagengruber focuses on the Islamic mystic Rābi‘a al-‘Adawiyya and will be held by Prof. Dr. Tamara Albertini (University of Hawai’i), a well-known expert on Islamic philosophy.
The mystic Rābi‘a al-‘Adawiyya is one of the most significant scholars of Sufism. This is due to her teachings on divine love, which steered the early Sufism away from the practice of strict asceticism towards the unity with god.
Sufism is a mystic movement of Islam with an emphasis on asceticism and spirituality. Humanism, humanity and philanthropy are a few of the fundamental values of this movement.

Prof. Dr. Tamara Albertini teaches at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa and focuses her research on the Renaissance and Islamic philosophy. Her work on Islamic mysticism and Rābi‘a al-‘Adawiyya in particular contributes greatly to transferring of the work and influence of ancient Islamic scholars to the present.
The workshop takes place on Thursday, May 2, 2019 and Friday, May 3, 2019, at Paderborn University, Germany. On Thursday, Professor Albertini will also hold a talk on Ibn Rushd, Averros and the Enlightenment as part of the Kolloquium zu Philosophie at 4 p.m. in in lecture hall O2. Everyone interested in the topic is welcome to join in!

5th Bi-Annual International Conference: Edith Stein’s Itinerary: Phenomenology, Christian Philosophy, and Carmelite Spirituality
2019-08-15 - 2019-08-17 | University of Cologne, Albertus-Magnus-Platz, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, 50923, Germany
Keynote Speakers: Prof. Anneliese Meis Wörmer (Pontifical University of Chile in Santiago de Chile) and Prof. Andreas Speer (Universität zu Köln)
Edith Stein’s (1891–1942) philosophical life followed an intellectual itinerary that started with the thought of Edmund Husserl and phenomenology; it then turned to Christian philosophy and, ultimately, to Carmelite spirituality. The International Association for the Study of the Philosophy of Edith Stein (IASPES) invites submissions that explore Stein’s philosophical corpus from the three aforementioned periods. We welcome papers that discuss the relationships between the various moments of Stein’s intellectual life. We encourage submissions addressing various issues, ideas, claims, and arguments from these three areas of Stein’s thought, including the relation between her philosophy and that of her fellow phenomenologists (Husserl, Conrad-Martius, Reinach, Scheler, Ingarden, Walther, von Hildebrand, etc.); debates around the nature and content of Christian philosophy; issues in Christian philosophy; a discussion of how Carmelite spirituality influenced andshaped Stein’s later philosophy; and Stein’s relation to figures like Martin Grabmann, Daniel Feuling,OSB, Peter Wust, Rudolf Otto, Erik Peterson, or Erich Przywara, SJ. Papers on Stein’s philosophy ofwoman, ontology, politics, community, empathy, philosophical anthropology, and her philosophy of history and psychology are also welcome.

Call for Papers: Abstracts (250 words maximum) dealing with the aforementioned themes or those connected to Stein’s philosophy in general may be sent to both Antonio Calcagno (acalcagn@uwo.ca) and Harm Klueting (harm.klueting@uni-koeln.de).
Abstracts and papers are welcome in English, German, French, and Spanish
Deadline for Abstracts: February 15, 2019
IASPES is grateful for the collaborative support and generosity of Professor Dr. theol. Dr. phil. Harm Klueting (Universität zu Köln), who serves as the local host and organizer of the event.
