Presentation

   Paolo Leonardi "invented" the formula of bi-lateral meetings (Italo-Spanish, Italo-French...): not many people, all invited by a scientific committee (no call for papers), sometimes a discussant or two, sometimes no discussants at all, but always much time for discussion obviously open to other participants (from any country) who would like to attend. A simple formula which has been successful.

   For some time the possibility has been discussed in ESAP circles of extending the formula to a small group of countries, let us say "south west European countries": Portugal, Spain, France, part of Switzerland, Italy. These are "Latin" countries and we thought it would be a good idea to invite also some philosophers from South America. The Latin connection is important. There is a strong series of affinities, intellectual, affective and geographic, between southern European countries. The main argument in favour of this link is not due to these contingencies, but to the fact that France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, even Greece encounter similar institutional problems, which countries like Sweden have not encountered because their university system is more Anglo-Saxon by training and structure. We believe we should reinforce the southern line. If it becomes strong, it will equilibrate the traditional cultural connexions between the English speaking countries (US-Ireland-UK) and the Northern countries (Sweden-Denmark, Finland mainly).

   The first Latin Meeting took place in Lisboa (July 2001), the second in Aix-Provence (November 2003), and now we are happy to announce the Third Latin Meeting organized under the auspices of ESAP. It will take place in Valencia on 9-11 June 2005, organized by the Phronesis Group. The members of the organizing committee are João Branquinho (Lisboa), Josep Corbí (Valencia), Marta Moreno (Valencia), Carlo Penco (Genova), and Jose Luis Pérez (Valencia).

   The average annual temperature is 16.7º C, which includes mild winters and warm summers to be enjoyed on the regions sunny white-sanded beaches, which stretch out from the City of Valencia itself along the Valencian coastline. Valencia boasts one of the largest remaining historical centres in Europe, and the city's noble past can be felt here, in what was the Economic and Cultural capital of the Mediterranean in the 14th and 15th centuries.
