International Conference on Philosophy of Consciousness (ICPC 2024)

This conference aims to gather senior and junior researchers in the general field of consciousness, broadly speaking, from traditionalist and classic views, to most recent prospects on the problem of consciousness, and from classic solutions to the problem of consciousness to quantum mechanics and neuroscience prospectives on consciousness to present the result of their latest researches. We also invite short papers on social, evolutionary, and historical accounts of consciousness. We hope that this symposium-like conference will gather Iranian and international scholars who are engaging in the field of philosophy of mind and consciousness from different scientific and philosophical standpoints in order to discuss their recent researches and outcomes with each other towards reaching some new horizons in the study of one of our significant features which is consciousness.
