Description and research goals of the conference

The conference organizers encourage to focus on two research areas related to the broad understanding of the term "tradition":

     • Tradition from a philosophical perspective and from the perspective of other humanities

     • Philosophy in tradition; philosophizing as a certain tradition.

Suggested areas of interest may include, but are not limited to:

     • Understanding tradition in Western philosophy and humanities

     • Approaching tradition and traditionalism in non-European philosophy and humanities

     • Philosophy/philosophizing as participation in a certain tradition

     • "Traditionality" of selected philosophical trends

     • Can we currently talk about a crisis of tradition (or "tradition in crisis"): a crisis of traditional worldviews, traditional institutions or social structures?

     • Tradition/traditions and community/community

     • Tradition and problems and issues of the theory of value

     • Tradition and morality

     • Tradition from the perspective of cultural studies
