The Polish Whiteheadian community is happy to announce the upcoming conference entitled “Whitehead for Education, the Humanities, and the Social Sciences: In Pursuit of a Metamorphosis of Pedagogy“. It will take place in Katowice, Poland, on 19-20 November, 2025.
In times of a global polycrisis, the current direction of the Society’s activities focuses on “interweaving” contemporary processualism into the most vital contexts of the present—especially those most sensitive to the destructive impact of a civilization founded on an outdated vision of the world. One such area is the construction of a social environment that supports the developmental and educational processes of children, adolescents, and young adults.
In the conference presentations, we encourage contributors to share the results of transdisciplinary research on the foundations of education (and, more broadly, the humanities), utilizing the interpretive framework offered by Whiteheadian process philosophy. We also warmly invite reflections on Whitehead’s educational ideas from the standpoint of your own disciplinary practice, whether it be the natural sciences (including neuroscience), humanities or social sciences (such as philosophy, psychology, sociology, or pedagogy), or spiritual disciplines (understood here as those concerned with the highest level of human development, described in Whiteheadian terms such as fulfillment and peace). Conference Celebrating the Twentieth Anniversary of the Whitehead Metaphysical Society in Poland.
Registration: Proposals for presentations should be submitted to processpedagogy2025@gmail.com in accordance with the letter of invitation.
