International Conference THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONTEXTS OF CONTEMPORANEITY: THE PRINCIPLE OF RATIO AND ITS LIMITS
The main conference objective is rethinking the boundaries of ratio as a fundamental principle in socio-humanitarian, natural science and mathematical knowledge.
As the centre of the sphere of knowledge, the «Ratio» shows an endless number of points of view on the surface of this sphere. The dialogue between these points allows for developing philosophical and scientific traditions. The current crisis of the rationality in science and also in most of the artistic, socio-political discourses and practices contributes to their return to the general philosophical beginning in the aspect of its ontological and epistemological explication. Philosophical thinking gains freedom at the limit of its existence. The endless naming and conceptualization of this existence re-illuminates the prospects, meanings and horizons of the «Ratio» each time.
Conference issues:
Section 1. The sphere of ratio: «concept», «model», «construct»
Section 2. The principle of ratio in history, culture and civilization
Section 3. The connection of Philosophy and Science: «physis» and «mathéma»
Section 4. Transformations of meanings in social and humanities knowledge
Section 5. The boundaries of the Rational in Ethics, Politics and Law
Youth platform «Social and humanitarian research in the context of contemporaneity»
