Models of Divinity

在世界各地宗教冲突不断的时候，不同信仰间的对话变得越来越重要。该项目将为此类对话提供一个平台，从而推进国家研究优先目标，即提高澳大利亚解释和参与其区域和全球环境的能力。该项目还将具有明显的社会效益，这将通过探索相互竞争的神圣概念和（通常是压迫性的）社会文化实践之间的联系而产生。最后，该项目将提升澳大利亚在宗教哲学领域的声誉和地位，从而促进这一领域更多的研究生和博士后研究。

At a time of religious conflict around the world, interfaith dialogue is becoming increasingly important. This project will provide a platform for such dialogue to take place, thus advancing the National Research Priority Goal of improving Australia's capacity to interpret and engage with its regional and global environment. The project will also have distinct social benefits that will result from exploring the links between competing conceptions of the divine and (very often oppressive) social-cultural practices. Finally, the project will advance Australia's reputation and standing in the philosophy of religion, thus stimulating greater postgraduate and postdoctoral research in this area.
