30th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF PHILOSOPHY
THE ISLAND OF SAMOS – GREECE: 20-26 JULY 2018
POLIS, COSMOPOLIS AND GLOBALISATION
Purpose of the Conference is not simply an historical investigation of the theme but the systematic philosophical treatment of social and political ideas in their various contemporary enactments (the polis, the nation-state, the union of nation-states, federalism in antiquity and in the present, the concept of global government) as well as the clarification of issues pertaining to the development of culture, i.e. the forms and the ways of life of ordinary people in their local and regional cultures. The Conference is open to all philosophers, including specialists in Greek philosophy, classics with a philosophical train of mind, historians of philosophy, political theorists and political philosophers, theorists of economy, ethics, communication, and ecology. It is also open to creative persons in the arts and sciences who can articulate lines of inquiry regarding the development of culture and cultural forms, the prospects for a global community or government, the constraints upon and responsibilities of nation-states, the flow and movement of goods, capitals, and people, the rules and limits of the market (understood as an economic space), and the problem of values in the cosmopolis.
