Announcement and Call for Papers
CONSCIOUSNESS AND ITS PLACE IN NATURE
Toward a Science of Consciousness: Sweden 2001
Skövde, Sweden, August 7-11, 2001
What is the place of consciousness in nature? 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.
