Abstract:
The Central Questions and Orientation of the Conference:
The central concern of the conference is to explore the configurations of the relation between the notions of truth and being, or the absence of one thereof, within the annals of ideas. The orientation is to understand this primary concern in terms of the varieties of articulations concerning these two central categories and the manner in which they inform our construal of the notion of knowledge either in terms of a particular period, thinker or a text. In doing that the idea is to explore the underlying factors — technological, social, economic, political, religious — that shapes and reshapes this relation. Apart from inquiring into how the relational pair of truth-being have transformed over the various movements within the History of Philosophy in hands of various figures and philosophical frameworks, the symposium could also deliberate upon the alternative re-configurations at our disposal, today. It also seeks to explore if a conceptualization of this conceptual-pair operates from outside the confines of academic philosophy, and to come to terms with the realization that truth/being [does not/ does] matter.
