Dear colleagues!
We invite you to take part in the XXII International Conference for Young Scientists in Humanities and Social Sciences. The event is organized by the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Novosibirsk State University together with the Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
The main theme of this year’s Conference is “Spaces and Interactions”.
Various kinds of interactions – with other people, objects of cognition, and social structures – permeate almost every sphere of human action. Even a seemingly inert actor can be involved in a multitude of interactions – ranging from cognitive operation and reflection to communication, political, and law relations. Yet scarcely interaction is possible without space, whether physical, imaginable, or virtual. What is the interrelation between interaction and space?
Do the features of interaction depend on the space within which it takes place or, on the contrary, it comes for interactions to determine spaces? What stands for the constitution of modern social space, and what does it impart to the understanding of actions (and interactions) among modern people, organizations, and institutions? What specifics are being brought to the structure of interaction by artificial intelligence and digital technologies?
We invite you to discuss these and other questions in the following areas:
–History of Philosophy as a Space of Interaction –Social Dynamics in the Focus of Geopolitics and the World-Systems Analysis –Vita Activa: Theory of Action from Antiquity to the Present Day –Media and Communication in the Focus of Philosophy and Social Sciences –Legal Bases for the Development of Digital Society –Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Research –Methodology of Science and Epistemology of Scientific Knowledge –Formal Epistemology and Epistemic Logic –Formal Semantics of Natural Language –Analytic Metaphysics The Conference will also include the Scientific School for Young Researchers of Antiquity, where scholars of Classics from different cities will hold classes for students and anyone interested.
