The theme of the World Interfaith Harmony Week is in recognition of the pioneering work of The Common Word Initiative.  This initiative, which started in 2007, called for Muslim and Christian leaders to engage in a dialogue based on two common fundamental religious Commandments: Love of God, and Love of the Neighbor, without nevertheless compromising any of their own religious tenets.

Call for Papers "Justice: Violence & Forgiveness"
Deadline: March 15, 2013
IPSA logo

 

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Initiative for the Development of Ethical Leadership (MLKIDEAL), Boston University School of Theology and The Research Committee on Political Philosophy (RC31) of the International Political Science Association (IPSA) is convening a conference on JUSTICE: VIOLENCE & FORGIVENESS at Boston University, 19-21 May 2013. 

 

Violence is to be taken less as accident than policy. Where deliberately deployed, those employing it presumably view it as just. If so, the questions arise: In what circumstances? On what grounds? If violence is viewed as unjust, when is it so, and why? If unjust, is violence always so, or sometimes only? And if unjust, ought it to be forgiven? Is forgiveness needed to temper the severity of justice? Or is forgiveness an exercise in prudence, a capitulation to the impossibility of justice being served?

 

This conference is hosted and supported by MLKIDEAL, Boston University School of Theology . It is sponsored by CRISPP (Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy) and by The Journal of Political Philosophy.

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words and should be sent no later than 15 March to Preston King, Chair RC31, IPSA ([email protected]), to John Medearis, Secretary, RC31 ([email protected]) , and to Prof. Walter Earl Fluker, Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Social Ethics, Boston University ([email protected]).
