Theme
This conference aims to chart the multiform phenomenon of moral conversion in Western society by
- analyzing building blocks, sequences, and variations in ethical instances of profound change of self and identity;
- tracing experiences and events of ethical transformation in various testimonies and fields of human existence; and
- turning the phenomenon of moral conversion into a lens through which to view the dynamics of existential and ethical belief systems.
The conference aims to renew the understanding of the phenomenon by
- studying its impact in the history of Western society; and
- relating it to present discussions on ethical behavior and concern for the common good.
