International Conference

2022

International Conference of Philosophy for Children 2022

"Rationality and emotionality in uncertain times - how will we live in the future?"

17-20 November 2022, Karl-Franzens-University
Meerscheinschlössl, Mozartgasse 3, 8010 Graz/ Austria

Society is currently facing immense challenges. Not only are the increasingly important ideas of scientific transdisciplinarity, transculturality, democracy and human rights subject to particularly current changes, but views on the effects of globalisation are also varying more and more.

Change is permeated by certainties and uncertainties, by stability and instability, and by astonishing upheavals. What kind of future are we striving for? How can we actively develop solutions for the challenging realities in order to seize new opportunities? How can we sustainably improve the life, health and well-being of people and nature? What do we need and what challenges await us along the way?

Security is a basic need of every individual and a necessary prerequisite for every society. Human rights are the foundation of democracy. The need for security is threatened by armed conflicts, scarce resources, global competition and other international crises. This can lead to a democratic turning point in the structures of the rule of law. Central to this are the increasing correlations between scientific universalism, the universalisation of human rights and democracy.

New perspectives are required that open up new reflections on current issues in the area of common concern and transnational solidarity: this concerns global challenges such as climate change, inequality, distributive justice, migration, digitalisation, etc. What brings responsibility? How does knowledge become insight? How is a just world created? What does security/uncertainty and certainty/uncertainty mean in the context of democracy and human rights?

Our world is undergoing comprehensive processes of change that affect all areas of our lives. Against this background, the following questions arise: What are the prerequisites for the realisation of sustainable educational work for all? What opportunities does philosophy offer to support society in these processes of change?

Philosophising with children and young people can be seen as an essential impulse for a new positive focus on sustainable educational intentions, as it contributes to the promotion of perception, interpretation, argumentation and dialogue skills as well as critical reflection and judgement and, due to its "enlightenment-oriented" self-image, mediates between science and the living world and strengthens the reflective potential.

This year's congress is planned as an inter- and transcultural forum in order to enable philosophical discussions on current phenomena and to link up with other scientific disciplines. The aim of the congress is to promote the exchange between different disciplines and to present new approaches in order to provide a basis of knowledge and food for thought for conceptual developments in the field of education.

The congress will focus on

  • Philosophy, human rights and democracy
  • Certainty and uncertainty
  • Community of Inquiry (research community)
  • sustainability
  • Digital ethics
  • Critical Thinking
  • Connections between communication and way of life
  • Inter- and transdisciplinarity - multiculturalism
  • Lifelong learning: philosophical perspectives and education
  • Peace as a philosophical challenge
