The issue of the relationship between philosophy and Christianity is still widely discussed in scholarly circles and continues to cause much controversy and misunderstanding. At the same time, a considerable number of researchers are inclined to seek common ground to build a coherent vision of the world within the framework of so-called Christian philosophy. The organizers of the international conference Philosophy and Christianity. Past - Present - Future wish to create another opportunity for scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and theological sciences to discuss the current understanding of the relationship between ancient and modern philosophy and Christianity, and to delineate the prospects for further dialogue between them. The main thopics of the conference: the mutual and multiple relationships between philosophy and Christianity in historical and contemporary perspectives the relationship between natural sciences and philosophy practised in the context of a Christian worldview the issue of finding common ground for dialogue aimed at building a coherent vision of the world within the framework of so-called Christian philosophy specific issues arising at the interface between philosophy and Christianity in the field of ontology, epistemology, philosophy of nature and ethics relationship between religious faith and reason (rationality of the Christian vision of the world and man) dispute over the existence and nature of so-called Christian philosophy (scope, method, specifics) Christianity as a creative inspiration for solving philosophical problems. The conference marks the 60th anniversary of the philosophical journal Studia Philosophiae Christianae, which was founded in 1965 at the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of the Academy of Catholic Theology in Warsaw (now Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw).
