On December 18 and 19, 2021, the international scientific online conference “Homo agens” by Stanis\u0142aw Vincenz will be held.<\/p>\n
“Stanis\u0142aw Vincenz\u2019s Homo agens” is a catchphrase inspired by the modern experience of the pandemic as a time that calls for action.<\/p>\n
The focus of the conference is the biography and literary and intellectual legacy of Stanis\u0142aw Vincenz, an author and philosopher who connects the idea of \u200b\u200bfreedom with action.<\/p>\n
The organizers will also offer a targeted, but also unlimited reading of “Polonina”, “Post-war vicissitudes of Socrates”, “Dialogues with the Soviets”, essays, drafts and correspondence, in order to once again hear the voice of Vincenz, who was a witness and participant in several historical turning points and dramatic social processes: the industrial revolution in the Eastern Carpathians, the birth of nationalism, which destroyed the essence of local communities, both World Wars, genocide, emigration and isolation<\/p>\n
The NGO “All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum” will be presented at the conference by acting chairman of the board Yaryna Yasynevych with a report “Promotion of Vincenz’s heritage in Ukraine” and project manager Maria Gurska on the topic “Film “On the High Uplands”: Polish-Ukrainian co-production”.<\/p>\n
