The Pluralist

The ninth international conference on Persons was held in Asheville, North Carolina, from July 31 through August 4, 2007, and was kindly hosted by the University of North Carolina at Asheville. At the conference there were some forty-five papers presented by scholars hailing from ten different countries. Five of the plenary papers on Jan Olof Bengtsson’s recent book, The Worldview of Personalism, with his replies, were featured in The Pluralist 3.2. This issue presents a selection of accepted papers from that same meeting. The Pluralist is pleased to continue the tradition begun by our forerunner, The Personalist Forum, of offering a published record of selected proceedings from these important international gatherings.
