This is the second conference in the context area of:
“The Paradigms of Thinking and Conceptions of Knowledge under
the Influence of Contemporary Challenges
in General, Practical and Applied Philosophy”
Theme
The
aThe aim of the conference is
to focus attention on human identity under the peculiarities
of the paradigmatic changes in the contemporary conditions
of informational technologies development, intensive global
communication and unprecedented cultural interpenetration.
Remarkably, continuous qualitative increase and
diversification of knowledge of the world continue, more and
more, to cause fragmentation in a human being’s understanding of
himself/herself and his/her own cultural and social
environment, which threaten human civilization in new ways.
In this, the religious dimensions of human civilization
continue to be influential and imperative. In the context of
these foundational dimensions of human civilization, we
identify a new challenge to the present role of the natural
sciences and humanities, knowledge and culture in social
development, which entails a diagnosis of classical,
non-classical and postmodernist models and styles of
theoretical, scientific, and artistic thinking related to
the problems of personal identity and authenticity.
We suggest to address both the
potential dangers to human nature and dignity, and the
potential opportunities for the realization of more
authentic human freedom, in the context of the new
challenges facing personal human identity; we also intend to
address in this context the
role of the spirit in the socio-political order of our
global world; in this regard, an analysis of democratic
development and the condition of the
“open” – “closed” dynamic as a social reality, in relation
to the peculiarities of their interpretation by the means of
reason in the philosophical trends of the 21st century,
will be appropriate.
The discussion on conceptions of knowledge and reality from
the point of view of contemporary perspectives on the
development of natural sciences in general and genetics, in
particular, as
well as of education in general, must become an important
aspect of the interdisciplinary approaches to achieving new
insights into human identity. We plan to start discussion
regarding the nature of cognitive means of explanation,
understanding, and interpretation of being, reality, social
actuality, human activity, and the identity of the human
person. We
suggest to display the outlined circle of problems taking
into account new approaches formed at the intersection of
post-structuralism, communicative philosophy, neo-Thomism,
postmodernism, semiotics, and philosophy of science.
