Call for Papers Theme: Re-Learning to Be Human Subtitle: Latin American Perspectives Type: International Conference Institution: Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (RVP) Department of Humanity and Arts, National University of Lanús Location: Buenos Aires (Argentina) Date: 6.–7.9.2018 Deadline: 15.7.2018 __________________________________________________ Theme This meeting will focus on reflection of the topic “Learning to Be Human” proposed by the XXIV World Congress of Philosophy to be held at Peking University, Beijing, China, August 13-20, 2018). This theme of the World Congress of Philosophy emphasizes on “exploring dimensions of the human and inquiring into the challenges facing humanity,” especially orientating toward current concerns of humanity, such as issues related to ecology, justice, and peace from philosophical, cultural, socio-political perspectives. In this light, the National University of Lanús would like to propose two-day conference to continue the above-mentioned subjects for those who would have taken part in the World Congress as well as to those who will not be able to go to Beijing for the Congress. This conference will especially reflect on the issue of being human from Latin American perspectives. We plan to have participation of twelve international scholars who will present their views on these problematic topics. After each presentation we will encourage the audience to discuss and exchange their ideas and insights in order to enrich the discussion. The structure of the conference will be divided into two sections: Three scholars will present their papers in the morning, other three in the afternoon. Each presenters will have an hour for presentation and discussion. All twelve scholars will actively participate in the entire meeting.
