"In the contemporary world and despite the differences, divergences, tensions, and conflicts, mankind is desperately seeking a sustainable and reliable source and way of peace, prosperity and happiness. Philosophy of Religion is considered by its large community to be competent to make a bridge from the Abstraction to the Action and from the West to the East in order to solve or resolve the separation to the unification. Since religion might be the most common and valuable element of human life, any dialogue, understanding and exchange of ideas based on such a foundation could result in very productive and fruitful outcomes and consequences. Thus the Iranian Association for Philosophy of Religion have decided to organize the First Contemporary Philosophy of Religion conference to be held in Tehran, Iran at The Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies in order to establish the unique ground for dialogue and understanding among the very influential community of Philosophy of Religion from both West and East."
