Call for Papers Theme: Values of the Human Person Subtitle: Contemporary Challenges Type: International Conference Institution: Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (RVP) Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest Location: Bucharest (Romania) Date: 3.–4.6.2011 Deadline: 5.4.2011 __________________________________________________ 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”.
