"Viele Menschen beschreiben ihre Lebenserfahrung der Gegenwart als zunehmend krisenhaft, sei es mit Blick auf die ?gro?en Themen¡® wie den Klimawandel, sei es mit Blick auf die zunehmend als Verwer-fungen wahrgenommenen gesellschaftlichen Ver?nderungen. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie diese Krisen-haftigkeit angemessen bew?ltigt werden kann ¨C nicht nur im Medium ordnungspolitischer Instrumente, sondern vielmehr vonseiten der einzelnen Individuen."

3rd International Conference of the International Society for the Philosophy of Architecture (ISPA)

Tuesday July 19^th (7:00pm) to Saturday July 23 2016
Department of Philosophy, University of Bamberg

"The Human in Architecture and Philosophy: Towards an Architectural Anthropology"

Registration opens April 12^th. Please register via the webpage of the ISPA isparchitecture.com/events/3rd-international-conference/

Topic

Human beings normally live in buildings - structures built specifically for this function. This raises interesting questions.

Why do we build dwellings (such as the ones we do)? And for whom do architects build houses?

These questions view the same phenomenon from two different perspectives:

architecture can tell us something about the human condition (in general or in a
particular culture) and we can derive insights about architecture from our understanding of human
beings.

This topic is inspired by two observations and two related questions:

1. Many architects, contemporary and historical, claim to focus on the needs of human beings. The resulting architecture, however, often does not meet the needs and desires of the people who live there. For whom should architecture actually build?
2. Architecture, traditionally, has played a negligible role in our philosophical understanding of human beings (as also for our sociological, psychological, and other anthropological analyses). Although it has always been generally acknowledged that human beings need built dwelling places, more careful analysis of this need is surely necessary. What does it say about human beings that they depend upon the buildings they construct for their own habitation?

These observations point to a deficit both in philosophical analysis and in the practical application of philosophy of architecture. A more systematic analysis of both areas could contribute to a better understanding of human beings and to future architectural endeavour better satisfying the needs and wishes of human beings.

The 3rd ISPA International Conference seeks to answer these questions (and to pose some new ones) by bringing together architecture and philosophy with a variety of other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, civil engineering, design, law, and psychology.

Simposio Internacional ?Vasco de Quiroga: fuentes de su pensamiento? ¨C Universit?t Bamberg

Bamberg, 15. Mai 2019, An der Universit?t 5, U5/03.27

El eminente jurista, te¨®logo y fil¨®sofo pol¨ªtico Vasco de Quiroga (1470-1565) es una figura que descuella con luz propia entre los te¨®ricos hisp¨¢nicos de la Conquista y de la justificaci¨®n de la presencia espa?ola en el Nuevo Mundo. El simposio se centra en el estudio y discusi¨®n de las fuentes de algunos de los aspectos m¨¢s relevantes del pensamiento quirogano: su utopismo pr¨¢ctico, su cr¨ªtica a las formas de dominaci¨®n establecidas en Las Indias y su teor¨ªa social. Las actas de la conferencia se publicar¨¢n en un vol¨²men de la serie ?Quellen und Studien zur Philosophie in Neuspanien? de la editorial Winter (Heidelberg).
