About us

The Study of Philosophy and Culture encourages students to continuously pose new questions about the meaning of human life and the structures within which that meaning is produced, while also enabling them to develop the ability for independent critical thinking about the world. Through the Philosophy and Culture program at the Faculty of Croatian Studies, students gain foundational knowledge in major philosophical disciplines and develop analytical, interpretive, and argumentative skills.

During their studies, students are introduced to fundamental themes and issues in philosophy, acquiring basic knowledge of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary philosophy, as well as core philosophical disciplines such as metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, logic, philosophy of culture, social and political philosophy, philosophy of history, philosophy of language, and the history of Croatian philosophy.

In addition to these disciplines, our professors offer insights into market-relevant and contemporary topics such as artificial intelligence, philosophy of sport, transhumanism, bioethics, and the philosophy of globalization. Our professors continually expand this range of knowledge and interests through interaction with students, offering courses that are relevant to contemporary global issues.

Zagreb Applied Ethics Conference 2013

As announced in the call for papers, one of the aims of this year’s conference is to gather philosophers and other scholars primarily, but not exclusively, from Central and Southeastern Europe who will present their papers on various topics in applied ethics, ranging from particular case studies to more general (foundational and methodological) issues. The other, no less important, aim of the conference is to promote a rational and critical approach to applied ethics that adheres to the principles of conceptual rigor, soundness of argumentation and scientific accuracy. Based on the final program, we are confident that this year’s conference will accomplish both aims.

Three plenary lectures and 23 presentations by experts in ethics and applied ethics from 16 different countries (Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Croatia) will be delivered. The quality of the contributed papers also seems unquestionable – they were carefully selected from a large number of high quality submissions many of which, unfortunately, had to be rejected due to the limited time frame of the conference. In brief, we are confident that a stimulating philosophical conference with dynamic discussions is awaiting us.
