Sorry for crossposting.
I am a Russian philosopher (Novosibirsk St Univ) dealing with
problems of Philosophy of History, World-System Analysis, Methodology
of Social Sciences, Axiology, Futurology, Philosophy of Education (see
titles of my books in the bottom).
(If you are not interested in these topics and in contacts with
Russian scholars - press DEL now. Sorry)
Having research grant for April-June in Fernand Braudel Center
(Binghamton,NY) and some possibilities for travelling I wish to see
collegues in other US Universities for exchanging ideas, arranging
inter-univ. contacts,etc.
I wish to give 2-3 lectures on the following topics:
1.Integration of Rational Thought and the Prospects of Global
Intellect (how to bring togeather efforts of Philosophy, Humanities,
Social Sciences, Sciences, Engineering and Cyber-Space in order to
meet the challenges of 21st century)
2.Modern Systemic Megatrends of World Development and Images of the
Future (three strong global complexes of positive feed-back are
revealed; modern crossroads for US and Russia)
3.Value Consciusness and the Principles of Global Education (new
paradigm of cardinal values; how to make future education appropriate
simultaneously to the unity of modern global problems and to
inevitable cultural and ideological diversity)
I would be grateful for information of conferences,
workshops in April-June connected with these topics.
I am also interested very much in unformal contacts with
colleagues, mountain tourism, water sports. I plan to make some visits
near Binghamton in April-May and then make a trans-US trip in June.
Surely the plan is flexible.
Please contact me personally before March 25,
Thanks
Nikolai
