Paradoxes of Conflicts – IASC International Conference – Lecce (Italy), 2-4, XII 2014
The Italian word convegno, equivalent to the English terms workshops or conferences, is derived from the Latin word convenire, a verb composed of con and venire.
In the ancient Latin word, one can find two ideas simultaneously: walking to- gether towards a shared goal and, as a result of this confluence, the ideal of debating is obtained. In other words, discussing and finding together cannot be considered as two separate dimensions. They are part of a larger reality, consisting in a com- munity where people do research together.
This metaphor seems appropriate to describe the style of work of the IASC, and it is therefore within this context that the 2014 IASC International Conference can be collocated. Our conference brings together, in Lecce, from 2 to 4 December, twenty-five scholars from fifteen universities to discuss “Paradoxes of Conflicts.”
It seems to me that the accession of so many scholars can be considered, without exaggeration, not only a sign of vitality for our association, but more generally a sign of hope for the relevance of the topics.
The University of Salento, in its various articulations that made possible the organization of this important event, is pleased to share these aims and to welcome the distinguished speakers.
In principle, considering the list of papers, the actuality of the topic clearly emerges. When, one year ago, during the World Congress of Philosophy in Athens, we decided to dedicate our annual conference to conflicts, we could never imagine how timely it would be. Reading the different titles of the papers, one can notes that, according to the IASC tradition, the topic of conflict is studied from different angles: from philosophy to psychology, from nonviolence to studies of law, and so on.
At a more general level, this initiative confirms that IASC is not only a group of scholars united by a common interest, but a real community of women and men believing that the scientific debate is one of the most effective tools to improve the world. As a result, now the results of our Conference are expected not only by the scientific community. [Continue]

L’interdisciplinarità rappresenta un concetto spesso chiamato in causa quale sinonimo di dialogo tra saperi, in un abbinamento terminologico che, tuttavia, omette di problematizzare le necessarie articolazioni interne di quel rapporto. Quali sono i fattori che hanno portato alla compartimentazione tra le discipline così come oggi essa è sperimentata nella vita accademica? Che cosa c’è alla base della tassonomia tra multidisciplinarità, interdisciplinarità e transdisciplinarità? In che rapporto viene a trovarsi l’interdisciplinarità con la tradizionale distinzione tra cultura umanistica e cultura scientifica? È possibile demarcare la conoscenza interdisciplinare dalla conoscenza disciplinare e dalla conoscenza non scientifica? Infine, esistono e quali sono i modelli, le leggi che sottostanno alle descrizioni interdisciplinari? Olga Pombo insegna nel Dipartimento di storia e filosofia della scienza e dirige il CFCUL, Centro di ricerche di filosofia della scienza nell’Università di Lisbona, punto di riferimento mondiale per gli studi interdisciplinari. È autrice di diversi volumi, tradotti in molte lingue.

Oltenia Colloquium in Early Modern Philosophy
16-17 May 2014
Craiova, Romania
Leibniz`s Controversies on Substantial Forms
The adoption of substantial forms in 1679 represents a very important moment in the metaphysical thinking of Leibniz. The adoption of substantial forms, in the same time a rehabilitation, seems to be a kind of a step back on the field of scholastics, even if Leibniz declares always his support for the modern philosophy.
The colloquium ,,Leibniz’s Controversies on Substantial Forms” will be focus on the following directions:
– controversies with scholastics
– controversies with Cartesians
– controversies on body, mind and consciousness
– theological controversies
– scientific controversies
The languages: English, French
Keynote speaker: Marcelo Dascal (Tel Aviv University)
Deadline for title, abstract and CV: 15 March
Deadline for full paper: 1st July
