18TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTICE IN ZAGREB (ICPP)

  • 12 - 14. june 2025.

From June 12 to 14, 2025, the 18th International Conference on Philosophical Practice (ICPP) was held in Zagreb, bringing together over 130 presenters from more than 30 countries around the world. This highly significant event served as a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences among philosophers, psychoanalysts, and researchers from various philosophical traditions and disciplines.

Among the prominent participants were Lydia Amir from the United States, who presented on Transformative Philosophy, and Lou Marinoff, also from the U.S., who addressed the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in his lecture titled Artificial Intelligence – Will It Rehumanize or Dehumanize Humanity? From Serbia, Vuk Trnavac spoke on Philosophy of Health in Renaissance Platonism – Between Theory and Practice, and Aleksandar Prica presented his work The Sophists as the Pioneers of Philosophical Practice. Luka Janeš from Croatia gave a talk titled Introduction and Implementation of Philosophical Counseling in Croatia – Challenges and Guidelines. He was also the main organizer of the event and successfully set a high organizational and content standard that will serve as a benchmark for the next gathering, scheduled for 2027 in Helsinki, Finland.

Lou Marinoff talks about the impact of artificial intelligence on humanity at ICPP 2025.

As part of the conference, Igor Grujičić (Serbia) presented a lecture titled: Interactive Psychoanalysis and Synchronicity, in which he introduced an original approach that connects interactive psychoanalysis, philosophical practice, and Jung's theory of synchronicity.

After decades of reflection, C. G. Jung defined synchronicity as meaningful acausal events that go beyond statistical probability, most notably demonstrated through the Rhine experiments. The lecture explored the relationship between synchronicity and interactive psychoanalysis, a form of philosophical practice grounded in interactivity, highlighting the structural parallels between these two concepts. By comparing them, it was shown that the same event can be interpreted in two ways: either as a regressive state leading to false conclusions (from the perspective of interactivity), or as a rupture in causality (from the perspective of synchronicity), in which time and space are effectively reduced to zero.

Participation in this event once again confirms the growing relevance of regional contributions to the global development of philosophical practice, as well as the importance of integrating interdisciplinary approaches into contemporary philosophy.
