Psycho-Ontology \; Conference

\n

The\nShalem Center\,\nJerusalem

\n

December\n11-15\, 2011

\n

Do the\noperations of the human mind have something to teach us about the fundamental\nstructure of reality? Philosophers such as Hume\, Kant\, James\, Bergson\, Husserl\,\nKuhn\, and Goodman have\, in different ways\, seemed to believe this question\nshould be answered in the affirmative. Yet as disciplines\, cognitive science\nand metaphysics are usually conducted without reference to one another.\n&ldquo\;Psycho-ontology&rdquo\; can be defined as the investigation of the relationship\nbetween human cognition and features of reality. We do psycho-ontology when we\nstudy the way perception\, thought\, and emotion play a role in helping\nconstitute the world we inhabit. But psycho-ontology can also move in the\nopposite direction: It can involve studying the fundamental features of reality\nin order to gain insight into how human cognitive processes work. \;
