PRÉCIS: Announcing a New Initiative + Postdoc and Visiting Scholar Positions ​

In collaboration with the Philosophy Department and the University Center for Human Values, the Princeton Project in Philosophy and Religion (3PR) is excited to announce a new initiative: “Philosophy, Religion, and Existential Commitments in Society” (PRÉCIS)! PRÉCIS aims to foster philosophical and theological reflection on how we should live, and in particular to consider what our deepest commitments are, where they come from, when and how we should revise or stabilize them, and how they influence important life choices – as individuals and as members of various communities.

PRÉCIS involves significant scholarly, undergraduate, and public-facing programming, including conferences, reading groups, public talks, and courses.  Our new pilot course is “Philosophy, Religion, and Existential Commitments” (which Lara and Andrew will co-teach in Spring 2024).  

PRÉCIS is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (appointed in the Philosophy Department) starting in Fall 2024 (ad here) and a Visiting Faculty Research Scholar for Fall 2024 (ad here).
