General informationThe city of Frankfurt am Main Frankfurt am Main is located on south-west of Germany (Land Hessen). Germany became a single country since 1871. Before that, it was divided into many independed states. And today Germany is still made up of 16 Lands with a federal system of government similar to USA. Each Land has its own state government and controls local issues such as education. The last reunification of Germany took place on October 3, 1990. The Berlin Wall, symbol of Germany's division, was demolished and the capital has moved from Bonn back to its former home, in Berlin. Since the Middle Ages the free city of Frankfurt on the river Main has developed into one of the most important European financial and trading center. Today 348 banks, including the European Central Bank, and 148 foreign banks channel the flow of money. Frankfurt's airport is the largest airport on the European continent. The city of Frankfurt is also a large-scale international exhibition center where different fairs are arranged every year. In the city there is Goethe museum and Goethe University. Appearence of the city is modern with skyscrapers and with the population in 600 000 man. In the working days the population is increased till 900 000 man. About Frankfurt University The Johann Wolfgang Goethe Frankfurt University was founded in 1914 year through private funding. As one of the major institutions of higher education in Germany, the University is committed to providing a wide spectrum of disciplines in research and teaching, to generating outstanding achievements, and to breaking new ground through the targeted utilization of the advantages and synenergies of interdisciplinary work in research and teaching. In competition with the best national and international universities, Frankfurt University aims to fulfill its training and educational mandate through performance and open-mindedness. The University supports the practical application of knowledge based upon solid fundamental research. Johann Wolfgang Goethe Frankfurt University has 16 academic departments. Around 2500 professors and academic staff carry out research in these 16 departments. The Universities is at the forefront of research such as law and finance, life sciences, drug research, cognitive neuroscience, heavy ions physics and interdisciplinary research in Africa. The text about the University is a fragment of the preamble which can be found on the INTERNET page of Frankfurt University In December 1972 a jumbo jet crashed in the Florida Everglades with the loss 101 lives. The pilot, distracted by a minor malfunction, failed to note until too late the warning signal that - correctly -indicated an impending disaster. His sudden, astonished cry of "Hey, what's happening here?" were his last words. Three decades after this tragic episode the problem of adequate reaction to warning signals of different nature and distinguishing minor malfunctions in everyday life of society, in economy and technology as well as in the evolution of biosphere from grave threats to the world community and the phenomenon of life on our planet remains crucial to human survival and the Future of Civilization. Rational use of knowledge and technology available to the world community remains the corner stone of discussions on destiny of the intelligent life. Survival of man on the Earth must be the basic practical idea of our "INTERNET" society. We can not stop the information motion of matter and we must not hurry in this alien to us the virtual medium. Such transition will be impossible without losings for "Homo Sapiens". Although creation of new complex biological structures in the process of evolution did not bring to disappearance of their predecessors. It is difficult to believe that the strongest of all instincts - the instinct of self-preservation has stopped to act. Probably righteous life is not the fulfilment of moral or religious norms - it is the condition of survival. It is necessary to look honestly at the no simple situation which we have. Some thoughts of Erikh Fromm, Grigory Khozin and Albert Shweitser were used here. We hope the Symposium will give a new impulse of democracy, wisdom and reason which is extremely necessary to our Civilization especially now. The instruction for speakers: 1.
