The Days of Frane PetriC

Initiated by the Croatian Philosophical Society in 1992, in collaboration with the town of Cres and its institutions, The Days of Frane Petric will be held in the hometown of the distinguished Renaissance philosopher Frane Petric (Franciscus Patricius 1529-1597) September 20-25, 2004. Over the last twelve years, The Days of Frane Petric have developed into a clearly-defined scientific and cultural event which includes the following:

• international symposium on a selected, interdisciplinary theme;
• international symposium on Frane Petric;
• cultural-artistic programme.

The selected main theme, characterised by an interdisciplinary approach, emphasises current problematics. Beginning in 1994, when, in addition to the regular annual theme, a selected one was introduced, the following topics have been submitted for discussion: »Natural Philosophy«, »Ecology«, »The Beautiful in Nature and Fine Arts«, »The Challenges of Bioethics«, »Theory of Chaos«, »Philosophy of Time«, »Bioethics and Science in the New Epoch«, »Philosophy and Technology« and »Democracy and Ethics«. The theme selected for the symposium 2004 is »Philosophy and Education in Contemporary Society«.
