SCPT’s 2012 conference took today’s ecological crises as its point of departure. The speakers presented theological and philosophical contributions informed by continental traditions such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, eco-feminism, post-structuralism, post-colonial studies, deconstruction, and social and deep ecology that help us understand and implement a sustainable future together. Authors presented papers that address ecological issues head on, as well as those that tackle philosophical and theological themes that underlie these issues.
The Society for Continental Philosophy and Theology seeks to promote inquiry at the intersection of philosophy and theology, through the study of phenomenology, deconstruction, feminism, Radical Orthodoxy, and related fields.
SCPT was founded in 1997 by Bruce Ellis Benson, John D. Caputo, Adriaan Peperzak, David Tracy, Norman Wirzba, and Edith Wyschogrod. It is a self-standing society that both holds its own biennial conferences and meets in conjunction with SPEP, ACPA, and the World Congress of Philosophy as a satellite member.
