Modern Physics and/or Natural Philosophy along an International Tradition of the Days of Frane Petrić

A relevant data arose of the overall DFPs (1992 - 2011) were presented by the chronologic way, in a single table as well as by histograms, till the 20th jubilee symposium in 2011. Short comments and characteristic parameters related to an international history of the DFPs were briefly outlined. A paradigm of modern cosmology and early universe were accepted and incorporated as the themes into the framework of the DFPs, particularly through the main theme of Philosophy of Nature of the 3rd DFP, 1994. For the first time participated Horst Ullrich (1931 - 2006) by the talk "On modern cosmology", as an important German scientist whose fields of interest were span from experimental nuclear and particle physics (CERN, SIN/PSI) to cosmology and history of science at the University of Karlsruhe. For the 4th DPF he submitted also a lecture on the Einstein's model of stationary universe against the Hubble's dynamical model. Philosophy of Time as the main theme was addressed to the 9th DFP, 2000, when 7 physicists (IRB, Faculty of Sciences Zagreb, FER, and University of Lausanne) attended as never before in the history of the symposia. Among them, an outstanding Croatian scientist in theoretical particle physics Dubravko Tadić (1934 - 2003) deserves mention. His lecture "Time in contemporary physics, an Introduction", was a review over basic concepts and aspects of time direction in the classical physics, and time reversal and its violation in contemporary physics of particles and fields. A brilliant introducing of Ecology as the new discipline by the 4th DFP, 1995, is connected with a famous Croatian biologist, ecologist and theologian Milan Meštrov (1929 - 2010). Whose argumentation for the scope and problems of modern ecology, together with an excursion and lecture: Vrana Lake on the Cres Island, were both marked as the great change in evolution of the symposia. A distinguished American philosopher Eugene Ryan (1926 - 2006), researcher of Greek, Renaissance, Italian, and, above all, Croatian philosophy, participated remarkable 9 times (above all other foreign participants) in continuity from the 5th DPF in 1996 to the 14th DFP in 2005 (with an exclusion of the 7th DPF, 1998). He contributed to the DPFs with 8 brilliant talks on the issues of Petrić’s philosophy, once with a talk inside the main theme, and with 2 presentations of the books. Ryan's last visit to the "happy town" was in 2005, during the 14th DFP dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. On the occasion of the 20th jubilee of the DFPs, along its internationally recognized tradition we deeply wish: Vivat, crescat, floreat Dies Francisci Patricii!
