CONFERENCE
Non-Human Animals in Philosophy and Culture

The scientific conference Non-Human Animals in Philosophy and Culture is part of the cultural and scientific manifestation 32nd Days of Frane Petrić. Frane Petrić is the most famous Croatian Renaissance philosopher born in Cres, where the conference will take place on September 22–25, 2024. As the title suggests, the conference includes all the possible contributions to the philosophical and/or cultural reflection of the human-animal relationship. However, we would like to organize thematic section(s) on metal music and animals. The conference will be held in person only. It is not hard to notice that metal music is full of animal symbolism. The special thematic section on metal music and animals will include philosophical, cultural, sociological, musicological, and other contributions on any topic related to metal music and animals.

MONOGRAPH
