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 Key questions to be ideally addressed include :\n\nHow did 
      religious groups view other religious groups in early modern (actual\
 ,      fictional or scholarly) situations of contact\, and how did they gr
 asp them      conceptually? \n Religious      tolerance\, it has been sai
 d\, involves a complex blend of rejection and      acceptance. Along with 
 philosophically ‘radical’ and secularising claims for ‘universal    
   toleration of all opinions\, true and false\,’ can we identify\, both 
 in early      modern Europe and Asia\, specific faith-based ‘orthodox’
  conceptualizations      of (communal and/or individual) religious toleran
 ce? \nHow was      heterodoxy (with its long associations with deviancy\, 
 heresy\, error\, and      dissent) determined in the case of each religiou
 s group? What was the      effect (if any) of religious heterodoxy\, anti-
 dogmatism and rationalism on      the mainstream perception and representa
 tion of the religious Other? \nHow did      the encounter with the religio
 us and cultural Other\, with the distant      Other\, prompt a re-examinat
 ion\, or a re-interpretation\, of one’s own      convictions\, as well a
 s a legitimisation of the nearby Other? \n\nReport
