XV International Scientific Conference "Education for Security". Education for civilizational security
Gdynia, 10-12 April 2019.
XV International Scientific Conference "Education for Security". Education for civilizational security The theme of this year's jubilee edition of the “Education for Security” conference is the concept of civilizational security and issues related to this term. During the three days of the conference we plan to consider the concept of civilization, classification and structure of contemporary civilizations, broadly understood civilization threats and civilization security in the context of globalization processes, as well as the diversity of cultural, religious and social values of the contemporary world. We cordially invite representatives of social sciences (security and defence sciences, political scientists, sociologists, psychologists etc.), humanities (ethnologists, philosophers, historians, cultural experts, religious scholars, etc.), natural sciences (biologists, ecologists, environmental protection specialists, etc.), as well as representatives of the world's cultural and social sciences. The conference will be open to all those interested in the proposed topics, including technical sciences (biomedical engineers, environmental engineers, IT and cyber security specialists, etc.), medical sciences and health sciences. We hope that the broad spectrum of issues covered by the conference programme will allow for an interdisciplinary scientific debate on multiple aspects of civilizational security.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
1. The concept of civilization and its ambiguity (classification and structure of contemporary civilizations; conflict of civilizations; the phenomenon of civilizational syncretism).
2. Civilizational threats: selected threats of biological nature (depopulation vs. overcrowding; climate change - facts and myths; environmental pollution - accommodation boundaries of nature; civilization diseases - etiology and perspectives; genetics - a threat or an opportunity?); Threats of a different nature (totalitarian ideologies; distortions of democratization; the "Conspiracy of Jews, Masons and Cyclists" and other conspiracy theories; the disappearance of social bonds: extreme individualism; an escape from reality into the virtual world); civilizational clashes (civilization of life vs. civilization of death; "civilized world" vs. the rest of the world; civilization of spirit vs. civilization of matter).
3. civilizational security (civilization as a threat to security?; civilizational security in the context of diversity of cultural, religious and social values: between unification and diversification; civilizational security in the context of globalization processes; threat to civilizational security by "strangers"?).
4. Postmodernity as an adequate response to civilizational challenges? 5. Technology - a threat or an opportunity for human civilization? ("IT civilization" as the future?).
he topics proposed above do not foreclose other, original approaches proposed by the authors.
