Vol. 30 No. 2 (2025): Christian Philosophy Facing Naturalism

In September 2024, the Institute of Philosophy of Ignatianum University in Cracow (Poland) hosted the third international conference “Christian Philosophy facing Naturalism.” The conference gathered over 40 philosophers from all around the world. During the event, participants explored the long-standing debate between naturalism and anti-naturalism. Papers analyzed how today’s cultural dominance of naturalism challenges Christian philosophy to engage critically with its principles and implications. Contributions also examined naturalism’s potential to both challenge and enrich Christian philosophy, offering opportunities to reassess traditional solutions and develop new perspectives. Discussions included historical and systematic dimensions of the naturalism vs. anti-naturalism dispute, emphasizing the evolving position of Christian thought within this framework. Some of these papers and discussions inspired and motivated the elaboration of the articles which we have the pleasure to introduce in the following issue. We do wish you a stimulating and fruitful read!

Forum Philosophicum is a scholarly journal dedicated to philosophical inquiries into various respects of the relationship between philosophy and faith. We want to offer a true Forum for the community of philosophers who view their faith as an inspiration, especially when seeking to face up to the new forms taken by the enduring problems of philosophy. Our Mission Statement declares our journal open to inquiries into subjects traditionally of interest to Christian philosophy, to philosophy shaped by Jewish and Islamic religious concerns, to problems explored in contemporary theistic positions and in the philosophy of religion, and to new insights into the evolving borderlines and conflicts between the rational and the irrational.
