meeting of the ACPA in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">New Orleans</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Louisiana</st1:State></st1:place> in the fall of 2009.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>The meeting will be hosted by Loyola University New Orleans.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>The theme for the gathering is  Reason in Context. This conference will be an opportunity for us to celebrate the role of Philosophy in every age and every culture. In our own day, cultures are in increasing contact, dialogue and interaction.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>I have chosen to propose a rich theme that touches upon the nature of rationality itself (theoretical, practical, artistic) and its various relationships to contexts. These contexts can be historical, cultural and religious. How might this theme open our reflection and discussion on historical figures and issues in the Western tradition: in Christian, Jewish and Islamic contexts? How have central and seminal texts been interpreted by other, later philosophers? How does interreligious and intercultural philosophical reflection reveal the power of rational categories to function as common terrain for philosophical interaction? How does the life of wisdom bring together philosophers from diverse cultures and languages around common values and concerns for human dignity? How might this theme provide an opportunity for papers on Eastern philosophy, either alone or in relationship to Western ideas? In addition to historical studies, how does the interpretation of texts throughout history reveal the power of reason to explore deeper questions and to promote the most basic human values? How do textual passages re-appear across cultures and historical periods? How have central philosophical texts been interpreted, either within the same cultural/religious context or across cultures and across religious traditions? What of the nature of contexts themselves? How do interpretive methodologies function in contemporary philosophy? What of practical questions and topics? The nature of practical reasoning? Questions of applied ethics and political philosophy? Social philosophy and important topics for today?<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>Moral norms as they appear within different cultures? What about the location of the 2009 Conference in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Orleans</st1:place></st1:City>? The recent tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and all that this event have revealed to us in this country about ecological issues, about social inequities, about political systems and their failures? It is my hope that this theme will bring together specialists on historical periods and authors, on hermeneutics and the interpretation of texts, on intercultural influences, on theoretical, ethical and social topics within the context of philosophical dialogue and the rich exchange of ideas. And all this in the historically beautiful and culturally rich city of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Orleans</st1:place></st1:City>, whose gradual re-birth we help to celebrate by our presence. It should be a wonderful event and I encourage you to plan to attend. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Everyone is cordially invited to send in a submission for this meeting.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>The program committee is especially interested in receiving papers that address issues related to the theme, but <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>papers in <u>any</u> area of philosophy are most welcome</b>.
