Topic: Conflict and harmony in the philosophical thought
What do conflict and harmony mean for the philosophical thought? How are these two concepts explained in the political and ethical theories and how should we understand both the realities of war and the fictions of the philosophical utopias? What importance does conflict and harmony have in the historical development of the modern human being and in its phenomenological interactions with the otherness? How can we experience from an aesthetic point of view the state of conflict and harmony and how are they discussed in the philosophy of art? What does it mean to be in conflict or in harmony with a specific philosophical tradition and how can we conceive those two opposing concepts at the level of agreement and disagreement between different philosophical positions and theories. These are some of the questions that the Conference for Doctoral Students in Philosophy will invite you to explore in its third edition.
