Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to invite submissions for the conference “Experimenting Philosophy of
Religion: Altering Politics, Ecology and Aesthetics in Transition”, which will take place
from 21–23 October 2026 at the University of Vienna.
The conference explores “experimenting philosophy of religion” as a field, method, and
performative mode of exchange. It aims to engage with pressing contemporary
challenges—particularly in politics, ecology, and aesthetics—by fostering exploratory,
unconventional, and interdisciplinary approaches. While the focus lies on philosophy of
religion, contributions from related disciplines such as sociology, political science, and
cultural studies, artistic and other related disciplines are very welcome. We especially
welcome contributions that work with innovative methods, address marginal questions, or
challenge established disciplinary boundaries.
The conference is structured around three thematic panels:
* Politics & Society
* Ecology & Nature
* Arts & Aesthetics
Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to apply. Presentations will be 20
minutes long, followed by a response and discussion.
Submission details and guidelines in the full Call for Papers can be found

Deadline for submissions: 5 June 2026
Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2026
Please send submissions to:

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at any time.
We look forward to your contributions.
