FREE ONLINE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 

ORGANIZED BY FERNANDO SILVA,

JEOVET BACA VIRGÍNIA, LILI PONTINTA, PAULO JESUS, SORAYA NOUR SCKELL,  TAMARA CARAUS AND MARIA GABRIELA FERREIRA

This conference aims to explore the cosmopolitan dimension of ecological consciousness. This aspect of cosmopolitanism concerns the vision of the universe as a whole, the place that each natural phenomenon occupies in this universe, about the relation of the parts between themselves and with the whole universe. This also implies discussing the place that the human being - as one being among others - occupies in this universe and the consequences of its actions, which can be translated into ecological and environmental concerns, and into an aesthetic question. The concept of cosmopolitanism contains the concept of cosmos. But how to conceive the cosmos (organism, machine, network, system, chaos, set of forces) is a controversial issue. Equally controversial is how to conceive the relation of the human being to the cosmos: the cosmos is for some authors world of nature, "object," of which the human being participates as a natural being among others, and not as "subject". For others, the cosmos is unity between subject and object, and the way we say the world depends on how we think and feel. From these questions arise other controversies about the understanding of our place in the universe.

This conference invites contributions exploring from a plurality of perspective the role of the cosmos in a cosmopolitan approach and in formation of an ecological consciousness. the potentiality of thinking and implementing a cosmopolitan law from a plurality of perspectives.
 
On October 28th at 2 pm, there will be a discussion of the book "The Well-Temperated Reason", by Leonel Ribeiro dos Santos with the participation of the author and Adriana Veríssimo Serrão, Paulo Jesus, Ubirajara Rancan, Núria Madrid, Marita Rainsborough, Vera Cristina, Mafalda Blanc, Carolina Sena and Soraya Nour Sckell.
