DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThe historical theme at the core of this conference is 
 the early modern perception\, stereotyping and understanding of the religi
 ous Other in both Western and Eastern cultures (16th–18th centuries).\nT
 he symposium will be articulated in two sessions: \n\nEnlightenment views
  of Judaism\, Islam and Far      Eastern Religions \nEarly modern represen
 tations of the religious      Other in Judaism\, Islam and ‘Oriental’ 
 Religions\n\nEach session will focus on core concepts\, such as religion\,
  morality\, and tolerance\, and ‘radical’ representations of the relig
 ious Other.\n \nKey questions to be ideally addressed include :\n\nHow   
    did religious groups view other religious groups in early modern (actua
 l\,      fictional or scholarly) situations of contact\, and how did they 
 grasp them      conceptually? \n Religious      tolerance\, it has been s
 aid\, involves a complex blend of rejection and      acceptance. Along wit
 h philosophically ‘radical’ and secularising claims for ‘universal  
     toleration of all opinions\, true and false\,’ can we identify\, bot
 h in early      modern Europe and Asia\, specific faith-based ‘orthodox
 ’ conceptualizations      of (communal and/or individual) religious tole
 rance? \nHow was      heterodoxy (with its long associations with deviancy
 \, heresy\, error\, and      dissent) determined in the case of each relig
 ious group? What was the      effect (if any) of religious heterodoxy\, an
 ti-dogmatism and rationalism on      the mainstream perception and represe
 ntation of the religious Other? \nHow did      the encounter with the reli
 gious and cultural Other\, with the distant      Other\, prompt a re-exami
 nation\, or a re-interpretation\, of one’s own      convictions\, as wel
 l as a legitimisation of the nearby Other? \n\nReport
