The Open Self – Investigating the Boundaries of the Self: Bodily, Social and Technological

Call for Registration 1st Interdisciplinary Conference on “The Open Self – Investigating the Boundaries of the Self: Bodily, Social and Technological“, Technical University of Berlin, 5-7th September 2018

Where do I end, where do you begin? Understanding the human self remains one of the greatest research challenges of our time. One of the most vexing issues in this respect has to do with the boundaries of the self. This interdisciplinary conference investigates the challenges and opportunities of an open and distributed perspective on the human self, thereby exploring how neural, bodily as well as environmental (intersubjective, cultural and technological) components contribute to the generation and maintenance of the self’s boundaries.
