We are convinced that philosophy\nbest acts from its center and most intensely radiates from there to\nits multifarious philosophical\, scientific and social challenges. And\nits center consists in its central\, in its so-called eternal\nquestions. This is reflected in the theme of the congress\, which poses\ntwo of those central questions\, perhaps the two most important: What\nmay we believe? What ought we to do?
\n
Three main lectures and eleven\ncolloquia will pursue those questions in varying contexts. The main\nspeakers are: Peter M.S. Hacker\, Ulrich Blau (Erkenntnis Lecture) und\nRoy Sorensen.\n

Hill.\nInvited speakers of the 10 further\ncolloquia will be: Jc Beall\, Ken Binmore\, Emma\nBorg\, James Conant\, Gerhard Ernst\, Zoltá\;n Gendler Szabó\;\, Ronald\nGiere\, Gerd Gigerenzer\, Alison Hills\, Iwao Hirose\, Dominic Hyde\,\nPierre Jacob\, E.
