The Philosophical Association of Northern Luzon (PANL) Inc. successfully held its 9th conference last October 13-14,2012 at San Pablo College Seminary, Crystal Cave, Baguio City.
With the theme, "The Contributions of Philosophy in the Intellectual Culture of Church and Society in our Globalizing World," the conference highlighted current exchanges on the crucial role and contribution of philosophy in our intellectual culture in the fast changing world as well as its response to the challenge of teaching philosophy for critical and transformative ethos. The lectures provided faculties and students of philosophy an avenue for engaging discourse and heightening philosophical impetus for the best interest of philosophy formation for the young.
Prof. Eduardo Calasanz talked about "Reclaiming the Mystical in the Philosophical," Prof. Letecia Tolentino on "Philosphy as Conversational Partner of Church and Society," Dr. Wilfried Vanhoutte on "Globalization and Meaning-Giving: Reflections on the Tension between Pluralism and Uniformity," and Dr. Reynaldo Dumpayan on "Rethinking the Idea of Culture in Theology - Insights from Postmodern Thought."
Thank you for all the members' untiring support! Long live PANL!
