Despite many advances in science, this question remains unanswered. Some hold that consciousness does not exist; some hold that it is reducible to processes in the brain; some hold that it is an irreducible nonphysical entity; some hold that it is tightly connected to fundamental physics; and some hold that we will never understand it at all. This conference will address the place of consciousness in nature from a wide variety of perspectives. It will bring together philosophers, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and others, to present theoretical and experimental research that bears on the the place of consciousness in the natural order. Issues that will be addressed include: o Is consciousness a physical process? o What are the neural correlates of consciousness? o How can we build a systematic theory of consciousness? o Is consciousness connected to fundamental physics? o What is the relationship between the subjective and the objective? o To what degree are animals conscious? o Can machines be conscious? o How does consciousness fit into the social and cultural order? o Are naturalistic accounts of consciousness circular, given that experience of nature is a construct of the mind? PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MARCH 26, 2001.
