The
relationship between mind and matter and the problem of how to
explore it in detail is older than current scientific disciplines and
their acquired bodies of knowledge. But even today, there is no general
agreement about how the domains of the mental and the material are to
be correctly conceived, and it is unclear how their mutual relationship
can be properly explored. Within recent decades, these topics have
become revitalized within quite a number of disciplines.
The goal of the workshop is to discuss current frontiers and directions
of mind-matter research from interdisciplinary perspectives. Key topics
will be the problem of mental causation, time and temporality,
conceptions of neural correlates of consciousness, and variants of
dual-aspect approaches.
