We are very delighted and excited by the high number of registered participants and paper presentations, as well as the many valuable programmes, proposed round tables, invited sessions, society meetings, and endowment lectures.
In addition to traditional western philosophy, the participants of this congress will encounter many Asian, African, Latin American and Arab philosophers and their thoughts and wisdom, such that this event will have earned the name of World Congress of Philosophy.
All the members of the Korean Organizing Committee and volunteers are doing their best to prepare comfortable accommodations and friendly hospitality, in order to provide a pleasant stay for the participants and to encourage fruitful dialogue among the diverse philosophers from around the world.
I hope that this Seoul Congress will be a wonderful feast of philosophy, and a valuable forum for intercultural understanding, as well as productive opportunity for critical thinking and creative discourse, to help us search for the right answers and care for the health of our life world |
