Between July 30th and August 1st, Metanoia, in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, will organise a conference titled The Organic and the Normative dedicated to the exploration of the notion of vital normativity.

The upcoming conference “The Organic and the Normative” seeks to investigate the phenomenon of vital normativity, which refers to the capacity of living beings to (co)determine and (co)constitute their own conditions of existence, preservation, and development. The conference aims to approach the phenomenon of vital normativity from at least four different perspectives. 

Scheduled for July 30th to August 1st, 2024, at the University of Ljubljana in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the conference will provide a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue in the form of lectures by invited speakers from diverse fields as well as ample opportunities for in-depth discussions.

Learn more about the conference, the attending speakers, and talks on the dedicated page on our website. Information is being still being added.

The conference is part of the “Vital Normativity: Beyond the Is/Ought Divide” project, which is part of the “New Horizons for Science and Religion in Central and Eastern Europe“ initiative organised by the Ian Ramsey Center of the University of Oxford in cooperation with the John Templeton Foundation. The event is also made possible with the kind support of the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.
