On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
It has generally been assumed that to make a religious commitment is to give oneself unconditionally to a single religious possibility, rejecting others. Here I explore the idea that a more basic commitment to truth, goodness, and beauty invites us to choose all the possibilities, conditionally, letting the truth of the matter determine which religious commitment, if any, is realized. The notion of conditional intentions provides the mechanism for this new understanding of religious commitment, and the notion of human religious immaturity gives it salience. With its broad evolutionary grounding, the view may bring illumination to a number of problems in the philosophy of religion and supersede certain older stances such as Pascal’s wager.
