What is Care of the self in the Global Era about?
In modern thought, care of the self covers a wide area of self-creation and self-interest. Within the problem framework of philosophical anthropology, inquiry into care of the self begins from a general observation of the state of crisis in contemporary culture. Philosophical anthropology analyses the possibilities a person has to overcome conflicts in value systems and the contingency of life's conditions by maintaining a sustainable degree of openness to risk, using creativity to solve conflicts, and developing the ability to transcend the existing state to fulfil the destiny of man as mankind. Attempts at cultural diagnostics bring together research on the original results of human self-knowledge and fixed self-shaping practices as well as ways of re-establishing them in culture and explicating them in contemporary philosophizing. Care of the self: Ancient problematizations of life and contemporary thought is an ongoing project at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Prešov, which is aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the sources and forms of subjectivity (or more precisely, at revealing unknown and neglected sources), methods of integration in society's function
