Ljubljana, Slovenia, 27—29 September 2007

This conference will provide a forum for scholarly discussion of conflicts in contemporary time-from generational conflicts, arising from the ageing of population in the most developed countries, conflicts between the rural and urban, of growing conflicts based on cultural, ethnic, religious and national grounds, which are being triggered by the fear of globalisation and loss of traditional group identities, conflicts between human biology and society, which arise from the technological development that changes the patterns of everyday life and provoke the change in human physical development, paralyses human physical activity and causes the so called civilization illnesses, such as hart-diseases and cancer, to conflicts between science and society, characterised by the rapid growth of scientific knowledge and by the diminishing value of science in contemporary society, where the power of scientific argumentations is being substituted by often ignorant political decisions.

Late and onsite registration fee (after June 30, 2007): €100
