Short documentary film: Pharos Philosophy Symposium 2025

Описание: The Pharos Philosophy Symposium (Stari Grad, Island of Hvar) is conceived as an open gathering place where philosophers, philosophy students and fellow travellers share their ideas in the tradition of the Greek Socratic symposium. The single guiding principle of the symposium is to freely reflect and critically engage with differing ideas.

The third Pharos Philosophy Symposium will be devoted to the discussion of resistance to evil. We seek historical and contemporary answers to the problem of evil to be presented in an open and tolerant discussion, not forgetting that people recognize it in many manifestations of human existence, but placing emphasis on the values ​​and guideposts to which man gives a strong and motivating response to evil - on the human attitude against evil.

As the motto of our third symposium, we take Hektorović's stone inscription above the toilet in his Tvrdalj Castle:
SI TE NOSTI CUR SUPERBIS – If you know thyself, why be haughty?
