The city, inseparable from the human being, seems to have been forgotten by its inhabitants. Dominated by the frenzy of the moment and of utility, beauty has taken a back seat in the scheme of common life. The urban space, more than an accumulation of buildings, parks and avenues, is the place where human beings express themselves without fear. The city not only guarantees stability, but also allows for encounters and dialogue, since the full development of the human being takes place in a setting full of particularities. The human being does not only exist in the environment but shapes it in such a way that it expresses its interiority.
Today, in the face of a bleak outlook for ethics, art appears as the last attempt to safeguard the intimacy of the human being, his deepest desires and longings. This mode of expression refuses to forget the spirit and transcendence, so that aesthetics, more than ever, seems the only way to not forget who we are.
Hence, in view of this situation, the V International City and Philosophy Congress, City and Beauty, aims to reflect interdisciplinarily on the following questions: Is it possible to combine city and beauty? Can beautiful environments provoke good acts? Is a beautiful space capable of encouraging better behavior in its inhabitants? What is the relationship between public space and beautiful space? In addition to ethics and politics, is aesthetics necessary? Why reflect on the beautiful city when migration, poverty, pollution and other challenges seem much more urgent?
“The beauty, justice, and prudence of the city have the same capacity and the same form as the virtues by whose participation a just, prudent, and moderate man is called”.
Aristotle, Politics, 1323b 29.
