Conference Announcement

Theme: Care of the Self in Global Era
Type: International Colloquium
Institution: Institute of Philosophy and Institute of Political
Sciences, Prešov University
Location: Prešov (Slovakia)
Date: 26.–27.6.2017

__________________________________________________


In modern thought, the rediscovered topic of the care of the self
embraces a wide range of phenomena like identity formation,
disciplinary techniques vs. practices of the self, question of
individual life style, etc. An inquiry into the questions of care of
the self from a perspective of philosophical anthropology and ethics
proceeds from a general diagnosis of a state of crisis in
contemporary culture (e.g. crisis of the individual concern for
himself in contradiction with society’s demands).

The aim of the workshop is to draw connections between the issues
thematised by the participants of the project and to expose
philosophical problems to present global challenges. The workshop
will address the following themes:

- The social preconditions of the care of the self under contemporary
  conditions of globalization
- Individual preconditions of the care of the self in a Global/Modern
  Era
- Philosophical-therapeutical diagnoses and prescriptions.
- Care of the self in the history of philosophy and its concrete
  practices in various epochs and cultures
- Care of the self as a model of new ethics
