VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years

Project APVV No 18-0103 Paradigmatic Changes in the View of the Universe and Man from Philosophical, Theological and Physical Perspectives (2019-2023). Project Researcher. The present project aimed to provide a comprehensive view of the evolution of the universe and man's place in it against the background of an interdisciplinary intersection of philosophical, theological and physical perspectives. The solution of the research objective will be based on the definition of the basic paradigmatic changes: from cosmogony to cosmology; from point to space-time; from biological to cultural; from human to transhuman; from offline being to online being; from God creator to "homo Deus". An examination results in a synthesis of insights about level of knowings that possess a certain degree of autonomy and creativity. My output of the project so far is the publication of one monograph and three papers and a series of three popularization lectures in 2020 (more about the Project: https://uniba.sk/veda/vedecke-projekty-a-granty/apvv/apvv180103/)
