WELCOME
Satya Nilayam Institute of Philosophy
& Culture is a University recognized research institute in Chennai, established

DATES & VENUE
The seminar will be held in Satya
Nilayam Campus from Fri, 14 Dec 2018 to Sat, 15 Dec 2018. The medium will be English.
CONCEPT
Future Generations, referring to
generations to come in the future, will carry the impact of the current
generations. This leads us to think that we have a moral responsibility for the
future, also known as intergenerational ethics. This concept of future
generations is part of the definition of sustainable development too. “Sustainable
development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”
(Brundtland Commission of the United Nations, 1987).
In this context, we bring to light triple
challenges: challenges of accountability, fairness, and dignified living. And
these challenges arise from modernity, technology, and corporate exploitation.
The end is the lack of ethical sensitivity towards the other, especially to the
future generations. Two questions arise, in this context: a) Are we responsible
for the future or do we owe anything to the future? b) if we are not
responsible, then who and how will the future survive? What are we leaving for
the future?
The aim of this seminar is to bring
together researchers interested in contributing their understanding, responding
to the questions raised above.The scope of this seminar is as broad as
possible, both from academic and non-academic perspectives.
SUGGESTED SUB-THEMES
Some of the possible sub themes that
could emerge either from the following list or from any other related theme:
Social issues with futuristic

ABOUT CHENNAI
Chennai is one of the four
metropolitan cities of India, and the capital city of the state of Tamilnadu.
Known for its beaches, the city is generally warm and humid. Though Tamil is
the main language and spoken by the general population, other languages such as
English, Telugu,Malayalam, etc. are also spoken here. Mahabalipuram, 50 kms
away from Chennai, is one of the historical places that attracts tourism and is
worth visiting as it contains historical monuments. Chennai cuisine is also
famous as it still upholds traditional Tamil food. The city is well connected
by buses and trains, and the latest addition of the Metro trains also add
glamour to this city. The city has plenty of beaches and spending the evening
in the cool breeze of the Bay of Bengal in Marina beach, the second longest
beach in the world, shouldn’t be missed out.

We look forward to welcoming you in Chennai.
