\nTheory of reasons for action has been one of the most important areas of research in practical philosophy for over a half century\, but mainly in English-speaking cultural area. Still\, it is a \;dominant approach to the theory of action \;today.
\nPraxiology \;&ndash\; a general theory or study of efficient action (with a seminal work of Tadeusz Kotarbinski from Warsaw-Lvov School) &ndash\; is another important type of investigation on the field of practical philosophy. It also has quite a long tradition\, but has been popular mainly in Poland and France.
\nWhile these two types of investigation of action are equally important\, there has never been either a philosophical &lsquo\;battle&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;cooperation&rsquo\; between reasons for action theorists and praxiologists. It seems\, that the researchers of both types of inquiry have so far not entered into dialogue to get a better understanding of the nature of action.
\nThe most basic goal of this strongly interdisciplinary conference is to offer a small contribution to such communication. \;We invite praxiologists\, reasons for action theorists\, theorists of practical rationality and practical philosophers \;to exchange ideas and communicate. This will help to grasp a fuller understanding of the differences and similarities between various types of reflection on action. The conference will offer insights into the understanding of action in philosophical\, social and cultural aspects.
