At the same time, terms like \u201capplied ethics\u201d, \u201cpractical ethics\u201d and, especially, \u201cbioethics\u201d are often used as expedient labels for a range of endeavors (most of them solemnly pronouncing their \u201cinterdisciplinarity\u201d or even \u201ctransdiciplinarity\u201d) whose conceptual clarity, soundness of argumentation and, consequently, real-world applicability are, to say the least, very far from obvious. Bearing in mind this latter, often troublesome state of affairs with \u201capplied ethics\u201d (particularly endemic in ex-communist countries in which the very discipline of ethics remained underdeveloped for decades), one of the central motives for organizing the Zagreb Applied Ethics Conference was a desire to promote rational and critical approach to and public understanding of contemporary work in applied ethics. Judging by the abstracts of papers which we are about to hear during the three days of the conference (submitted for the most part by scholars from Central and Southeastern Europe) we dare to say that the fulfillment of that desire is more than likely. Three plenary lectures and sixteen contributed papers will be presented in the conference by scholars from Australia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Sweden, United States and Croatia.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 646px; height: 34px;\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/upf.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/zaec_program.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">PROGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/upf.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/plkt_zaec2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">POSTER<\/a><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Organizing Committee of the Conference<\/p>\n<p>Tomislav Bracanovi\u0107, predsjednik | Du\u0161an Do\u017eudi\u0107 | Tomislav Janovi\u0107 | Tvrtko Joli\u0107 | Karolina Kudlek, tajnica | Lovorka Ma\u0111arevi\u0107 | Josip Talanga<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Society for the Advancement of Philosophy and University of Zagreb \u2013 Center for Croatian Studies are organizing INTERNATIONAL PHILOSOPHICAL CONFERENCE: ZAGREB APPLIED ETHICS CONFERENCE 2011 ZAGREB, CROATIA, 16-18 JUNE 2011 Applied ethics is a booming field of contemporary philosophy which deals with &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
