The Society for Philosophy & Culture is an organisation dedicated to promoting interest in philosophy and other related disciplines. The Society encourages cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary debate and discussion. We have branches at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and McMaster University, Canada.
The Society is organising an international conference on the topic ‘Mind, Body and Self’ to be held at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, through the 24th-26th of July 2015. We are requesting submissions of papers to be presented and considered for publication. Papers may be accepted in absentia and arrangements for video conferencing can be made if attendance is not possible.
The conference will present an interdisciplinary analysis of the main topic of Mind, Body and Self. Papers could be from disciplines such as: Philosophy, Sociology, Theology, Psychology, Anthropology, Criminology, History, Geography, Cognitive and Neuro-Science, Physics, Environmental Sciences, Art History, Medicine, Performing Arts, Literature, Law, Commerce, Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence and Eastern and Western Religious Perspectives (other related fields may be considered).
The books which have been previously compiled by The Society are Meaning and Identity: An Interdisciplinary Perspective and Human Beings and Freedom: An Interdisciplinary Perspective.
If you are interested in submitting your manuscript for the book or in presenting at the conference, please contact us. Confirmation for presentation and/or abstracts are due by 28th June 2015. The final papers will be subject to editorial and peer-review prior to publishing. Each contributor will receive a copy of the volume.
