Invitation to an International Conference
Values of the Human
Person: Contemporary Challenges
The Faculty of Philosophy
The University of Bucharest
Bucharest, Romania
June 3-4, 2011
Theme
Times of
changes provide special opportunities to discuss important
philosophical issues. The aim of this conference is to focus
attention on the values of the human person considered under
the impact of the contemporary process of globalization.
Paradoxically, continuous qualitative increase and
diversification of knowledge cause more and more
fragmentation in the human understanding of oneself and
one’s cultural and social environment. This threatens human
civilization in new ways.
From this perspective new
challenges are addressed to the humanities, knowledge and
culture, arts, natural sciences, sociology. These call in
turn for a diagnosis of classical, modern and postmodern
models of theoretical, scientific, political and artistic
thinking with regard to the main human values of the human
being. The discussion of these issues will serve as a
propedeutic to the 23rd World
Congress of Philosophy in Athens,
2013, whose theme is “Philosophy as Inquiry and Way of
Life”.
