The main objective:
The main objective of the International Conference on Philosophical Practice (ICPP 2025) is to promote the development of philosophy as a living and dialogical practice grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration, critical reflection, and philosophical counseling. Rather than emphasizing a solitary and purely theoretical model of philosophizing, the conference supports co-philosophizing as a communicative and practical activity, where philosophical inquiry emerges through dialogue, shared reflection, and intellectual companionship among practitioners, scholars, and participants.
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, provides a rich academic and cultural environment for international philosophical dialogue and exchange. As a historic European city with a strong intellectual tradition and diverse academic institutions, Zagreb offers an ideal setting for interdisciplinary discussions in philosophical practice, bioethics, psychotherapy, and applied philosophy. The conference encourages intercultural dialogue, collaborative learning, and the advancement of philosophical practice in contemporary global contexts.
