Veber Gornja Radgona international symposium

Tadej Pirc and his Gornja Radgona friends organized a memorable France Veber symposium on April 16th, 2011. Matjaz Potrc is depictured here with Venanzio Raspa, Emanuele Marini and Seppo Sajama. Besides to these Veber experts, there were Vojko Strahovnik, Bojan Zalec and Andrej Ule. An excellent occasion to celebrate 120 years since Veber's bitrh. Ethics, esthetics and other areas were covered; an event that will certainly stay in Veber heritage memory. The publication of contributions is envisioned.

Ciphermatics project with Chinaglia

Ruggero Chinaglia and Matjaz met February 5th in Ljubljana, and they sketched the following collaboration project. Matjaz writes a short presentation of his relevance/ciphermatics understanding, with the aim to apply it to his inclusive disjunction treatment of ontology, epistemology and ethics. A collaboration between Padova and Ljubljana may then ensue. The ultimate aim would be, for Matjaz, to write a simple book about the ciphermatics/philosophy intersection, along the lines according to which he already developed the three mentioned areas of philosophy.
   Under the following link (besides to a number of Matjaz other papers) the draft of the paper entitled The Moment that Counts is posted (the draft is a first sketch of the relevance/cipher approach, as applied to the special discourse of philosophy):

The Ought and the Ship

The visit to Milan Italy was successful. First, there was an encounter with Emanuele Marini and with his family in Rovello Porro. Then, the two day symposium on oughts and philosophy of law at the Milano University, with Paolo di Lucia, Venanzio Raspa, Giuseppe Lorini, of course Emanuele Marini, and many others. Veber's and Slovene oughts discovery in the meinongian theory of objects was highlighted and reviewed. Plans are made for a gathering on this topics in July. After that, there was a visit to Villa Borromeo with attendance to the memorable lecture of Armando Verdiglione on the topics of the Ship. This morning I have a talk on the Reality of Fiction in Ljubljana, and as far as the narration goes, I will begin by mentioning the stories related to the ship. Photo: Matjaz in Villa Borromeo.
