On May 19th 2009 Matjaz Potrc presented his paper on Transvaluating Frankfurt to Juergen Habermas in Pecs Hungary. Habermas replied and commented, and so did Agnes Heller, Robert Brandom among others. Matjaz started by delineating his commitment to the existence of a mind and language independent world, then stressed his indirect correspondence normative and contextual approach to truth and argued for the qualitative and narrow account of free will conditions that may be achieved in the experiential world of my brain in a vat duplicate. Habermas mentioned the background basis of the Lebenswelt. Frankfurt cases in the discussion of free will center at the self as a source of action, dismissing phenomenology of free agency. Is the quality achievable in renaissance approach and what is its relation to the enlightenment? The Habermas conference was organized by Janos Boros from Pecs University.

Hundred free papers and a dancing performance
http://www2.arnes.si/~supmpotr/clanki.html By clicking at the just given link you can find hundred free papers written by Prof. Matjaz Potrc. One among these papers is a draft on the topics of Phenomenology of dancing. Nicole Speletic, a philosopher and a fine dancer from NY contributed her own draft. Nicole will talk and dance on Wednesday May 20th at 13:45h (1:45p) at the main building of University of Ljubljana (Kongresni trg), as a guest of Potrc and Strahovnik. First picture shows Matjaz at a Ljubljana pub, and the second one at a teashop close to Ljubljanica river.
Mountain view
On May 10th Matjaz took a walk at Dobrca mountain, to the top, and even a little bit further to the one of the most interesting sightseeing spots in Slovene mountains. It was sunny, with some patches of snow. This must be the uebermenschen-point-of-view I guess.
Drustvo za analiticno filozofijo and some plans
Drustvo za analiticno filozofijo (DAF: Analytic Philosophy Society) has Monday meetings as one of its basic activities. On May 11th we discussed Morphological rationalism, but in overall we prepare ourselves for Bled conferences, by reading and discussing chosen texts. This year's international Bled conference (June 1-6) will be on Virtue epistemology and value. The photo figures Vojko Strahovnik and Matjaz Potrc as two core constitutive members of Monday meetings.Here are some plans for next couple of months: Vojko and Matjaz will present their paper on Habermas treatment of free will, and Habermas will respond. Matjaz and Terry Horgan will take part in Dubrovnik Attention and Bled symposia. Matjaz and Vojko will present their paper on Meinongian ought-beliefs at the Rocky Mountains Ethics (or RoME) conference, all by invitation.
