25th Conference of the European Society for Philosophy of Religion. The Revival of Metaphysics in the Philosophy of Religion. New Universalisms, Catholicities, and their Opposites, September 10 - September 12
Metaphysics, once vehemently criticised by logical positivists and postmodernists alike, seems to make a comeback both in the context of the analytic tradition and of the continental schools of phenomenology and critical thinking. Is there really a return of metaphysics and if so, what types of metaphysics are involved? A return of metaphysics forces us to reconsider our attitude towards premodern and modern philosophical and theological thought, with implications for the nature and tasks of philosophy of religion. What are the consequences for our view of the relationship between philosophy and theology?
Using her experiences growing up in the Ashram since her arrival as a child in 1944, the author, in collaboration with the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Archives and Research Library, has written an account of the growth of the spiritual community created by the Mother. She bears witness to developments over the years through her reminiscences and through her interviews with dozens of early Ashram members and department heads. A source of authentic information on the Ashram, its value is enhanced by more than 650 photographs that bring a lively interest to the unfolding history of the community.

Scott Galloway has an important insight about a foundational social issue - That we are creating a culture where it is impossible for Young men to demonstrate excellence and find partners which is at the core of civilization. He traces the strength of American civilization to the generation of young men who had opportunity to show excellence in military or other forms of national participation, how they were role modelled and enabled with large benefits to set up homes which led to the baby boomer generation. Today's situation is the exact opposite not just economically but also culturally.

Tamil undoubtedly possessed a great literary tradition in the pre-CE and early historic period, as reflected in the rich corpus of Sangam literature. But the sophistication of that literary tradition does not seem to correspond with the surviving Tamil-Brahmi epigraphic record.
