The Society for Philosophy & Culture has organised an international conference to be held at Victoria University of Wellington on 24-26 July 2015, on the topic of Mind, Body and Self.
The Society has branches at Victoria University and McMaster University, Canada, and encourages cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary debate and discussion.
Conference organiser, Victoria University’s Associate Professor Dr Jay Shaw of the School of History, Philosophy, Political Science & International Relations, says the conference will assemble as many points of view as possible.
"By sharing the opinions of each field, our goal is to illustrate the interrelation between the different areas of expertise and promote a more encompassing vision of the topic."
The Mayor of Wellington, Celia Wade-Brown will open the conference on the evening of Friday, 24 July at the Memorial Theatre, Student Union Building, Kelburn Campus.
A dinner afterwards will be provided free of charge by the Society, as well as lunches and morning and afternoon teas during the weekend. Attendance is also free.
The academic sessions will be held on Saturday 25 July as well as on Sunday 26 July from 10 am to 6 pm in the Murphy Building, rooms 631 and 632.
