The “Democratic Man” and Security of Organisations

The Jagiellonian University and the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico are holding the 6th International Scientific Conference on Idealized Design. The parallel sessions will be held in Kraków and San Juan (Puerto Rico).

Ancient philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, claimed that the “right reason” and virtue facilitate performing civic and managerial roles. They identified methods of educating people managing an organisation (e.g. ruling a state) and selecting them in terms of their competences and skills. Nowadays these methods have been implemented, i.a., in the theories and practice of education and management, however, under different names. The antique concept of right reason and virtue can be denoted by, for example, “methodological rationality,” “rational attitude,” or “rational assertivity.” During the conference the participants are going to discuss the nature of these competences and skills and their impact on the security of organisations. Lectures or poster sessions can present the results of theoretical and empirical research, the paradoxes, limits, as well as theoretical and application problems in the theory and practice of the “right reason” and virtue with respect to their impact on the security of organisations.
