The Philosophy Unit of the Athens Institute is organizing a Microsymposium on “Environmental Philosophy: Ethics, Technology & Ways of Living” as part of the 21st Annual International Conference on Philosophy 25-29 May 2026, Athens, Greece
How should we live in a world shaped by ecological crisis, technological acceleration, and global interdependence?
This microsymposium invites philosophers, scholars, and practitioners to explore the ethical, cultural, and political dimensions of our relationship with the environment. We welcome contributions that examine how environmental philosophy can guide sustainable living, responsible innovation, democratic governance, and active citizenship in an age of climate change and artificial intelligence.
Key themes include: Environmental ethics and ecological justice, Indigenous and non-Western ecological worldviews, AI, automation, and environmental governance, philosophies of nature, sustainability, and technology, business ethics and green enterprise, civic responsibility and ecological citizenship and rethinking human-nature relations in the Anthropocene.

Please submit an abstract (email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form by 21 October 2025 to: Dr. Oidinposha Imamkhodjaeva, Deputy Head, Philosophy Unit, Athens Institute & Teaching Assistant Professor, Pennsylvania State University, USA. Abstracts should include the following: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Affiliation, Current Position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission. Decisions are reached within 4 weeks.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized, including a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit.
