5th WORLD CONGRESS ON LOGIC AND RELIGION

WORKSHOP

Mysticism and the Logic of Panentheism

We invite submissions for the workshop “Mysticism and the Logic of Panentheism”, to be held as part of the 5th World Congress on Logic and Religion. 

The workshop explores the rich and often underexamined relationship between panentheistic models of the divine and mystical experience, while bringing into focus the logical structures that underlie panentheistic thought. Particular attention will be given to how panentheism seeks to articulate the coexistence of divine immanence and transcendence, and to the ways in which this dual affirmation both motivates and challenges a formal philosophical analysis. By integrating perspectives from philosophy, theology, and religious studies, the workshop aims to foster a deeper understanding of panentheism as both a conceptual framework and a lived, experiential orientation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Mysticism and panentheistic metaphysics; 
• The impact of a panentheistic worldview on spiritual practice and religious life 
• The logical coherence of panentheism; 
• The demarcation problem (distinguishing panentheism from pantheism, classical theism, and related models); 
• Panentheism in relation to other models of God; 
• Panentheism and contemporary science; 
• Ecological implications of panentheism.
