The Chair of the History of Philosophy and Comparative Philosophy (Institute of Philosophy, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland) and the Journal Culture and Values invite you to participate in the international scholar conference The Significance of the Philosophy of Enlightenment for European Culture. The conference is scheduled for December 4–5 in Lublin. The conference will be held in the in-person format, but online participation is also possible.

This year’s conference is the next edition within the cycle of conferences (under the same title) started in Lublin in 2014. Later editions of the conference were held in Toruń, Cracow, again in Lublin, and finally in Poznań. The invitation to participate in the conference is addressed to philosophers interested in the problems of the Enlightenment, as well as to specialists from other disciplines, who in their research focus either directly on this period or on its consequences, continuations, or critiques. The theme of the conference, therefore, is the philosophy of the Enlightenment, its sources and continuations, as well as its impact on culture in the broad sense, both positive and negative. The conference organizers propose that the guiding theme of this year's conference will be idea of progress/development – in various versions and evaluations. However, other Enlightenment topics are also welcome.
