45th Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Comparative Study of Civilizations
June 10-13 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Civilizations cannot be properly studied or compared without examining their basic value systems. But what exactly are values? How are they exemplified across civilizations? Do values even exist? Are they relative or absolute? Are “decline” and “progress” relative terms? Are there universal values?
Possible topics:
Values in Crisis; Values and Power; Religion, Science and Values; Values and Economics; Values in Conflict, Values and Culture
