Nakon vrlo cijenjenih izdanja iz 2023. i 2024., s ponosom najavljujemo 3. Starogradske dane filozofije od 28. travnja do 1. svibnja 2025.: 30 filozofa pridružuje se intenzivnim diskursima i opisuje
'Nasuprot Zlu'
bez korištenja izraza Zlo kao reference
After the much appreciated 2023 and 2024 editions we are proudly announcing the 3rd Stari Grad Philosophy Days from 28 April till 1 May 2025: 30 philosophers join intensive discourses about the
'The Opposite of Evil'
without expressions of Evil as reference
(Scroll down for an overview of participants and program)
Nasuprot zlu
Iako se ponekad čini da je zlo sveprisutno, da su mu korijeni metafizički, činjenica je da ono nije ontološko: zlo ne postoji u međuzvjezdanom prostoru kozmosa, niti u kvantnim silama mikrokozmosa.
Pa ipak, opreke zlu, koje opisujemo mnogim duboko dojmljivim nazivima, nisu u stanju pružiti odgovarajuću protutežu gotovo opipljivoj sili koju ispoljava riječ zlo. Zlo je, zajedno s njegovim oprekama, prisutno samo u svijetu čovjeka i samo ih čovjek pridaje svijetu koji ga okružuje.
Od početaka filozofije, kao i religije, problem zla, kao i odgovor, suprotstavljanje zlu, pronalaženje vrijednosti koje su mu opreka, postoje kao jedan od najvažnijih pitanja za ljudski život.
Treći Farski filozofski simpozij bit će posvećen raspravi o opreci zlu. Povijesne i suvremene odgovore na problem zla tražimo u otvorenoj i tolerantnoj raspravi, ne zaboravljajući da ga ljudi prepoznaju u mnogim manifestacijama ljudskog postojanja, ali stavljajući u raspravi naglasak na vrednote i putokaze kojima čovjek daje snažne i motivirajuće odgovore na zlo - o ljudskom stavu protiv zla.
Kao moto našeg trećeg simpozija uzimamo Hektorovićev kameni natpis iznad zahoda u njegovom dvorcu Tvrdalj:
SI TE NOSTI CUR SUPERBIS
Ako se poznaješ čemu se oholiš
The opposite of evil
Although sometimes it seems that evil is omnipresent, that its roots are metaphysical, the fact is that it is not ontological: evil does not exist in the interstellar space of the cosmos, nor in the quantum forces of the microcosm.
Evil's opposition, which we capture with many deeply impactful names, is incapable of providing adequate counterbalance to the almost palpable force that the word evil exerts. Evil, together with its opposition, is present only in the world of man, and only man gives them to the world that surrounds him.
From the beginnings of philosophy, as well as religion, the problem of evil, as well as the answer, the opposition to evil, finding values that stand against it, exist as one of the most important problems for human life.
The third Pharos Philosophy Symposium will be devoted to the discussion of resistance to evil. We seek historical and contemporary answers to the problem of evil to be presented in an open and tolerant discussion, not forgetting that people recognize it in many manifestations of human existence, but placing emphasis on the values and guideposts to which man gives a strong and motivating response to evil - on the human attitude against evil.
As the motto of our third symposium, we take Hektorović's stone inscription above the toilet in his Tvrdalj Castle:
SI TE NOSTI CUR SUPERBIS
Know what you are and then how can you be proud?
Ako želite sudjelovati... Informacije
If you wish to participate ... Information
lovanja nalaze se ovdje: sudjelovanje
Znanstveno govoreći, nema suprotnosti. Je li nemoguće opisati protivnika zla bez korištenja zla kao reference? Pitao sam okolo, nakon što sam ga sam riješio; pet ljudi je. Neki odmah, neki nakon procesa transformacije u njihovom razmišljanju o tome. Međutim, naravno, izazovni naziv se raspada; "suprotno" je opis koji pati od dokaza o postojanju i opisivanju suprotnosti zla bez korištenja zlata kao reference je kao opisivanje bijelog bez korištenja boje kao reference.
Stan Coenders, srpanj 2024, Stari Grad.
Scientifically speaking, there is no contradiction. Is it impossible to describe the adversary of evil without using evil as a reference? I asked around; five people did it. Some immediately, some after the transformation process in their thinking about it. However, of course, the challenging title falls apart; "opposite" is a description that suffers from evidence of existence, and to describe the opposite of evil without using evil as a reference is like describing white without using color as a reference. Stan Coenders, July 2024, Stari Grad.
O Pharos simpoziju i starogradskim danima filozofije
Dani filozofije u Starome Gradu na otoku Hvaru zamišljeni su kao prostor susreta, razmjene mišljenja i dijaloga između filozofa, studenata filozofije i ljubitelja filozofije na tragu tradicije grčkog, Sokratovskog symposiona, a u mjestu koje ima snažne antičke, grčke korijene i koje je Aristotelov vršnjak (današnji Stari Grad utemeljili su Grci s egejskog otoka Parosa kao svoju koloniju Faros 384. godine pr. Kr.). Pročitaj više >
