INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE "LUMIÈRES ON THE MEDITERRANEAN 2020" (17 and 18 June 2020)
- PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS
Dear friends and
colleagues,
hereby we indicate
some phases that allow a preliminary organization of the conference.
The terms of the
debate will be developed according to three areas of reflection, following a
method that includes:
·
memory (historical disciplines);
·
reason
(philosophy);
·
imagination
(law, economics, politics and literature).
With this division
we intend to deepen each concept in a specialized way in order to develop them
into a common and interdisciplinary perspective. In this common project, which
aims the meeting of the two shores of the Mediterranean, the role of
translation will be central. The fundamental assumption is to allow cultures to
confront each other and to avoid the persistence of a monochromatic use of
language. Among the various topics at stake, will be central the concepts of
·
freedom
·
universalism
·
citizenship
·
the relationship between science and humanism
Assuming the
Mediterranean and its history as a paradigm of human coexistence, we will also
interrogate about the vision of this experience from the other West.
