COMIUCAP 2008 MANILA: A Huge Success!
Dear COMIUCAP Conference Participants!
It has been nearly a week since the conference ended, and I'm writing you now to share the official results of the feedback you kindly provided through the evaluation forms.
Dear COMIUCAP 2008 Participants,
Overall, at least 250 professors and students of philosophy from over 20 countries spanning 5 continents participated in the conference, exceeding the organizers’ target of 150 participants. Of these, 157 delegates (a majority at 63%) gave their feedback.
Based on a rating scale of 1.0 to 5.0, with 1.0 as 'Poor' and 5.0 as 'Excellent', the 2008 COMIUCAP World Congress achieved an overall average score of 4.0! The breakdown of this score is as follows:
o Communications & Promotions 3.8
o Registration & Fees 4.0
o Program & Logistics 4.1
o Lectures & Workshops 4.1
o Overall Experience 4.2
Most notably, the item on the evaluation sheet that garnered the highest average score at 4.5 was the item “Was the conference worth attending?” Hence, based on the quantitative feedback, we can make the claim that the 2008 COMIUCAP World Congress was truly a success -- and it was a success that would NOT have been possible without each and every one of you. Hence, THANK YOU truly for being part of this event.
Having said that, the feedback you provided also indicated several areas that could have been handled better. Hence, to all of you who experienced some dissatisfaction with how the conference was conducted, we do offer our sincerest apologies and we hope you do not take it against our respective host institutions. Any errors we committed belong to us (as the organizers) alone. To those of you who have taken the time and effort to give us your appreciation and acknowledgment, we offer our gratitude.
Just a brief note on the people who worked behind the scenes to make this conference possible -- I would like to mention that EVERYTHING was done without professional help in a span of just three months. Every single task -- from designing the streamers and developing the website to translating the foreign language papers -- was done by the men and women of the Ateneo de Manila University's philosophy department with the assistance of the philosophy
faculty of the University of Santo Tomas. Furthermore, all of these tasks were undertaken without compensation, on top of people's regular teaching and/or studying loads, and in the weeks leading up to the conference, at the expense of most of the faculty's and staff's sleeping hours. So if you should encounter any of these brave souls, I do hope you give them a word of acknowledgment for all the difficulties willingly borne.
And of course, should any of you continue to have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me via this email address. If, for instance, you are interested in viewing the detailed evaluation form results and findings, I can email them to you upon request.
Once again, thank you very much for your unique contribution in making the 2008 COMIUCAP World Congress happen -- it was a privilege to be of service to you.
And I continue to remain in your service.

Lectures on the Thought of Jean-Luc Marion: A Pre-conference Talk
To prepare a fruitful reception to Jean-Luc Marion's Inaugural Lecture "How to Distinguish Philosophy from Theology" on September 11, 2008 at the COMIUCAP World Congress at the Ateneo de Manila University, the Ateneo Philosophy Department will offer a one–day Seminar on the Thought of Jean-Luc Marion on August 30, 2008 from 8:00 A M to 12 NN and from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Escaler Hall.
The morning session, from a philosophical perspective, will be given by Mr. Eduardo Jose E. Calasanz of the Ateneo Philosophy Department. It will consist of two parts. A first part--a bibliographical survey--situates Marion as a historian of philosophy and as an original thinker, pursuing a dialogue with theology. A second part--a guided reading of three texts by Marion--answers these three questions: What methodological principle does Jean-Luc Marion adhere to and innovate? What metaphysical theory underlies his work? How does he engage the philosophy of religion?
The afternoon session, from a theological perspective, will be handled by Fr. Antonio de Castro, S.J. and Ms. Charity Durano of the Loyola School of Theology. It will also consist of two parts. A first part--a bibliographical survey--shows the reception of Marion's thought by theologians. A second part explores the possibility of a dialogue between theology and philosophy by posing the question: How can Marion's notion of the saturated phenomenon help us understand the doctrine of revelation?

A second part--a guided reading of three texts by Marion--answers these three questions: What methodological principle does Jean-Luc Marion adhere to and innovate? What metaphysical theory underlies his work? How does he engage the philosophy of religion?
The afternoon session, from a theological perspective, will be handled by Fr. Antonio de Castro, S.J. and Ms. Charity Durano of the Loyola School of Theology. It will also consist of two parts. A first part--a bibliographical survey--shows the reception of Marion's thought by theologians. A second part explores the possibility of a dialogue between theology and philosophy by posing the question: How can Marion's notion of the saturated phenomenon help us understand the doctrine of revelation?
BREAKING NEWS!
ATENEO, UST HOST INT'L PHILOSOPHY CONGRESS
The World Congress of Catholic University Institutions of Philosophy (COMIUCAP or Conférence Mondiale des Institutions Universitaires Catholiques de Philosophie) will be holding its 3rd World Congress in Manila on September 11 to 13, 2008.
This will be the first time that the conference, conducted every four years, comes to Asia, with two top universities, the Ateneo de Manila University and the University of Santo Tomas, as hosts. So far, 116 delegates from fifty-one institutions (universities, colleges and seminaries) in the Philippines have registered as well as 30 delegates from twenty-one countries like China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Congo, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Germany, France, Canada and the United States. The conference is expected to draw more than 200 deans, professors and graduate students of philosophy and theology from all over the world.
The COMIUCAP, founded in Rome in April 1999, currently has 80 member institutions
representing 35 countries. The main goals of the COMIUCAP are to promote the exchange of information and cooperation in the teaching of philosophy, and to undertake collaborative research on problems posed by contemporary society. The COMIUCAP Scientific Council consists of the following members: Philippe Capelle (Paris), Richard Cobb-Stevens (Boston), Nestor Corona (Buenos Aires), Vicente Duran (Bogota), Leovino Ma. Garcia (Ateneo de Manila University), Georges N'Dumba (Kinshasa) and Wladyslaw Zuziak (Cracow).
The theme for its 3rd World Congress "Philosophy, Religions & Transcendence" builds on the themes of its two previous conferences. The first one, held in Paris in 2000, focused on "Philosophical Reason and Christianity" while the second one, held in Mexico City in 2004, dealt on "Philosophy as Mediation." The 2008 Manila Congress tackles the notion of transcendence--a notion that both unites and separates philosophical and religious traditions and whose relevance is heightened by the Congress' location in Southeast Asia and its religious realities.
The conference's plenary speakers include Jean-Luc Marion, one of France's best-known living philosophers, and other notable thinkers such as Franck Budenholzer (Taipei), Alfredo P. Co (University of Santo Tomas, Manila), Lorenz Bruno Puntel (Munich), Friedo Ricken (Munich), and Juan Carlos Scannone (Buenos Aires).
The conference is open to anyone with a keen interest in philosophy and theology. To
participate in the conference, one can register online at www.comiucap-reg.tk. The
registration fees are PhP4,500 (for payments received before September 11, 2008) and PhP5,000 (for payments on September 11, 2008). Students can avail of a 50% discount on the above fees.
