Russia and the West in the Eighteenth Century: Proceedings of the Second International Conference Organized by the Study Group on Eighteenth-Century Russia and Held at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, 17-22 July, 1981

On September 22–24, in 2011, the second international phenomenological conference took place in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was organized together with Antioch University of the USA and it was hosted in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University's Faculty of Architecture. Urbanists, philosophers, educators and other academic scholars had a chance to deepen their knowledge and present the results of their researches on the subject of “Phenomenological Perspectives on Cultural Change and Environmental Challenges”. More than 10 speakers from various countries had presented their speeches and afterwards actively indulged in group discussions on the most problematic issues. Due to a huge success that the event has proven to be, it is expected to be just a beginning of a new tradition to hold such conferences in the university regularly. Santrauka Antroji tarptautinė fenomenologų konferencija Lietuvoje įvyko 2011 m. rugsėjo 22–24 d. Ši konferencija, kitaip nei 2009 m. įvykusi jos pirmtakė, buvo organizuota kartu su JAV Antiocho universitetu. Vilniaus Gedimino technikos universitete, Architektūros rūmuose urbanistai ir architektai turėjo galimybę sužinoti daug naujo ir patys pateikti savo tyrimų rezultatus tema ,,Socialinių pokyčių ir aplinkos iššūkių fenomenologinės perspektyvos“. Daugiau nei 10 pranešėjų iš viso pasaulio parengė kalbas ir po jų aktyviai įsitraukė į diskusijas, kuriose buvo gvildenami problematiškiausi klausimai. Tikėtina, kad tokios konferencijos ateityje taip pat bus organzijuojamos ir pamažu virs pasididžiavimo verta tradicija.

The Second International Conference on Ethico-Economics was organizedby the Centre of Humanomics at the UniverSity College of Cape Breton,Sydney, NS, Canada, on October 11-12, 1991. It turned out to be a great success,as the fourteen university professors and research scholars from America,Canada, and overseas were active participants in the sessions. There werefive sessions and three invited luncheon and dinner sessions. The conferenceproved to be of a rigorously analytical nature, as its purpose was to inquireinto the ethical foundations of the theory and policy of economic reasoningand socioeconomic development.The objective of the conference was to intensify the Scientific ResearchProgram (SRP) launched by a group of university professors and researchscholars, an undertaking which seeks to discover the analytical and appliedroots and possibilities of treating ethics endogenously in socioeconomicsystems. The latitude is extended to comprehend the socioscientific systemas well. The First International Conference on Ethico-Econornics, held atSydney, NS, Canada, in 1989, inquired into the subject of “The EpistemologicalFoundations of Social Theory.”Among the papers presented and extensively discussed in critical length -an expressed style of this SRP group to evolve a scientific theory and applicationof ethics as endogenous elements of the socioeconomic and socioscientificorders-were two papers on Islamic economics.

Cultural Pragmatics

In our globalized and multicultural world, the problem of understanding is crucial. It is the concern not only of politicians, sociologists, and psychologists, but also a key subject of linguists, translators, language and culture teachers, and specialists of other fields sensitive to cross-cultural issues. This was once again demonstrated at the international conference Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads III, held from 26–28 June 2013 at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
