Supernaturalism, Warsaw

On the 20th of May the Humane Philosophy Project held a conference on the theme of Supernaturalism at the University of Warsaw. This conference engaged the dominant naturalist treatments of the human person, and her relation to the world, as well as non/supernaturalist positions more broadly. Talks explored the challenges to methodological, ethical, and ontological naturalism and considered the advantages of supernaturalist non/supernaturalist positions in these areas. Topics addressed included metaphysics of the self, the constitution of the human person, the human difference, the sources of morality, the epistemological value of religious belief, and the problem of free will.
