OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
**Please note that the Reading Group will not meet on the date provided here, 23 November— it is merely a placeholder. While there is at the moment no fixed date for the start of these meetings, the Reading Group is open to anyone, and we invite you to register your initial interest here. Please see a short description of the Group below.
We are pleased to announce the launch of an international Reading Group on Philosophy in Interfaith Contexts which will explore this large subject from insider and outsider perspectives, in both reading and debate format.
This Philosophy Group suggests that ontology and metaphysics both represent a safe foundation for any interfaith conversation and provide the basis for worldviews – secular or religious – to either meet or split. One of the aims of the Group is to focus on interfaith aspects of philosophical topics by means of a selection of readings.
We will meet once a month via Zoom, for 1 hour, to discuss a specific theme related to Philosophy of Religion. An invited speaker will introduce and read a short text which will have been circulated previously to those registered for the respective session. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion.
