Details

Descartes’ famous dictum—I think, therefore I am—gave rise to the modern distinction between mind and matter. But “the inside story” is more complex and thrilling—possibly uniting mind and matter, meaning and mysticism.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of consciousness, nature, and transcendence, as scientists, philosophers, and theologians ask “What’s on the inside?”

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:

Philip Clayton - Does Mind Emerge from Matter?

Terrence Deacon - Is there a Deep Continuity between Mind and Life?

Timothy O'Connor - Panpsychism vs. Dualism: Does it Matter?

Ilia Delio - Can Matter Transcend Alone? Insights from the Mystics
