The National &
Kapodistrian University of Athens
(Laboratory:
"Biophysical Environment: Neurosciences &
Learning" - Post Graduate Program: "Sociobiology, Neurosciences
& Education") and the Municipality of Delphi organize the 5th
Summer School and the 1st International Symposium titled:
"Nature and Morality: Dialogue for the Survival", (Delphi,
July 12-18, 2009).
The institution of these
scientific meetings began in 2005, with invited famous
scientists and researchers from the Greek and international
academic community, in the frame of the Revival of Delphical
Ideal. The scientific meeting is moved in the thematic fields:
Society - Economy, Political (national and international),
Education - Culture, Bioethics - Environment, Science -
Scientific Deontology.
The aim of this year's
scientific encounter is to reveal the contribution of the
Hellenic thought and the system of values that this represents,
in resolving the huge contemporary problems that the modern
world confronts; this encounter focus on the confrontation of
the enormous problem of plunder of natural wealthprolific
sources and of the nature as well; also it focuses on the
problem of humiliation of human Ethic in atomic and collective
grade. All these
factors constitute an authentic danger for the survival of
Humanity.
Through these scientific
encounters we anticipate to give specific resolutions to these
problems as well as the appropriate solving strategies in
compliance with the global value foundation, which is the most
secure guide (as iniochos) for the human survival and its
culture. |
