Program Structure
The program will center around the Ecstatic Naturalism of Robert
Corrington and the thought of C.S. Peirce, with separate days devoted to different

Naturalism and Peirce and the background in their contexts. These discussions
will be led by Robert S. Corrington, Henry Anson Buttz Professor of
Philosophical Theology at Drew University and Douglas Anderson, Chair of
Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of North Texas. The remaining days
each participant will be responsible for a specific text and/or aspect, or present
a paper on Corrington’s thought and/or Pierce and will help lead that part of
the discussion.
