ISSEI International Society for the Study of European Ideas
9th Conference
organized with the cooperation of the
University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain
2 - 7 August, 2004
"The Narrative of Modernity:
Co-Existence of Differences"
Nowadays the Ethos of Individualism is regarded as a Myth rather than
an Ethos hailing from the 17th Century Scientific Revolution and the
18th Century European Enlightenment.
The Narrative of Modernity is, in a sense, the attempt to save the idea
of Individualism from its esoteric background, without falling into
moral Nihilism. The articulation of the Self in the context of
coexistence with Others is the great challenge facing the European
Mind, or simply, facing Europeans. Western civilisation has to meet the
challenge of the legend of the disappearance of the Self. For this
central issue it is imperative to rearticulate the unity of theory and
practice on the one hand, and to break down the barriers within
Humanistic Studies on the other.
The conference is divided into five sections:
1) History, Geography, Science
2) Economics, Politics, Law
3) Education, Women's Studies, Sociology
4) Art, Theatre, Literature, Religion, Culture
5) Language, Philosophy, Psychology
