Kosmoi (the association of scholars in the field of religious studies at the KU Leuven) is planning the international colloquium on the theme ‘Good–Better–Best: Asceticism and the Ways to Perfection”, which will be held from 21–23 October 2019 in Leuven, Belgium.
The international conference of this year will deal with the question of how ascetic practices and lifestyles as lived and practiced in various religious traditions are thought to help realise aspirations to transcend oneself and maybe even to reach ‘perfection.’
The organisers are inviting students and colleagues to submit a proposal for a paper of 20 minutes on a specific topic related to the overall theme of the conference. Those who are interested should send their proposal (title and summary of max. 300 words) by May 15 to Prof. Joseph Verheyden at jos.verheyden@kuleuven.be.
A scientific committee will decide which proposals are accepted. You will be informed of its decision by May 31.
