Z opisu:

The dominant and paradigmatic model of Western thinking about the relationship between humanity and the animal world follows the Cartesian approach where animal is reduced to a machine, and human being is predestined to transcendence. In this paradigmatic model, animality is either to be transgressed and liberated from, or suppressed, or excluded from one’s humanity.

The conference will provide an opportunity for us to rethink whether it is possible to go beyond this paradigm so deeply rooted in our culture. Our intention is to discuss the presence of animal in our culture, science and everyday life. The success of the conference depends on our ability to avoid a double trap – the animalization of homo sapiens and the anthropomorphism of animals. The problem is to find a language that would set forth the dilemma of humanity versus nature away from the traditional language of animalizing and anthropomorphizing.
