In very different ways, time and wonder open our minds to new impressions, ideas and values. It is in and through time that our minds admit novelty; hence, time provides the means by which we maintain an open mind. Time also functions as a bridging concept that opens up possible connections among different fields of knowledge and belief systems. Wonder also opens the mind. An experience of wonder makes our senses and minds feel stretched to a limit, presenting us with a moment of transformation. Like time, wonder poises us on the edge of becoming: it gives us the sense of being changed by something and feeling able to change because of something.
This one-day conference centers on the concepts of time and wonder in order to explore ways in which they open new paths of interdisciplinary thought and new ways of opening our minds to diverse knowledges and belief systems. Such explorations are important in the face of a narrowness and divisiveness that seem to define our world today--narrowness of thinking born of academic and intellectual specialization, and socio-cultural divisiveness born of ever greater gulfs between rich and poor, and polarizing forces in many political and religious spheres.
The conference is sponsored by The Marymount Institute for Faith, Culture and the Arts at Loyola Marymount University. It is also affiliated with the International Society for the Study of Time. The conference is free and open to all interested persons.
For more information, see the Conference site.
Limited space remains open on the conference program. Proposals (250-500 words) for 20 minute papers may be sent by email to P Harris at LMU.
Deadline for proposals: March 3, 2005. Conference papers will be considered for publication in the ISST's affiliated journal, Kronoscope.
Featured speakers:
J.T. Fraser (Founder, ISST)

With the breakdown in classical paradigms of production, innovation in the approach to time, and a reconsideration of practice in the light of philosophies of difference, the problem of the new has come to occupy an important place in a variety of philosophical fields, including ontology, political philosophy, art and the philosophy of science. The aim of this conference is to examine and explore the problem of the new from such intersecting perspectives.
The conference will engage with the problem of the new in contexts such as:
· Phenomenology
· Badiou
· Ancient Philosophy
· Serres
· Philosophy of Science
· Irigaray
· Political philosophy
· Bergson
· Art
· Deleuze

The reform of higher education in China has reached at a crucial point. The transformation of ideas about education is badly needed. The aim of the conference is to bring the process perspective into the discussion of higher education reform in China today, and to enrich process thought by understanding the theory and practice of higher education reform in China. The conference will explore new approaches to transcend the currently dominant education system in both the West and in China. Creative suggestions on higher educational reform will be offered from the perspective of Process Philosophy as developed by Alfred North Whitehead.
The Conference will offer discussion groups on such topics as:
· The Contribution of Process thinking to higher Educational Reform Today
· Whiteheadian Education Theory and Chinese traditional Educational Thought and Practice
· Process Thinking and University system reform
· Process Thinking and interdisciplinary education
· Process thinking and Curriculum reform in China
· Creative and Synthetic Learning
· Postmodern Education
· Integrated Education
· Beyond Test oriented Education
· China's Educational Reform Today: Theories and Practice
· America's Educational Reform today: Theories and Practices
Workshop: Conference participants will visit several Chinese schools, some of which are conducting experiments in educational reform. A sightseeing trip to Soochow is being arranged for non-Chinese educators. The conference is being co-organized by the Center for Process Studies, USA and the Center for Process Studies, Yancheng Normal College, China.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Arran Gare (Swinburne University)
"The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order." — Alfred North Whitehead
This is a call for papers having a basis in process thought that examine the fundamental notion of sustainability. By process we mean, not the subservient change from one dominant static thing to another but rather, that static things are paused, often artificial, stabilsations of ever evolving dynamic complexes.
We welcome perspectives from the sciences, social sciences, education, philosophy and theology on factors making for the survival, endurance and collapse of complex systems, particularly at the upper end of the complexity scale. As the biennial conference of the Australasian Association of Process Thought (AAPT), however, there will also be some space for papers of a more general nature in process thought in all its various applications.
Papers from this conference will be put forward for consideration in Special Sections of the journals 'Philosophy of Management', the AAPT's own on-line journal 'Concrescence' and the new on-line journal 'Cosmos and History'.
Conference Convener: Dr. Mark Dibben
Conference Registrar: Dr. Greg Moses
Conference fees, accommodation and travel information will be provided shortly. Please check the AAPT website for updates.

The 15th International Conference of the Friedrich Nietzsche Society
Peterhouse, University of Cambridge
United Kingdom
16th - 18th September 2005
Nietzsche is well known for his criticism of all modes of thinking that render temporal existence defective and illusory. According to many of his remarks, ‘the whole’ must no longer be conceived as static and a-temporal. Instead, he attempts to re-describe the relationship between past, present and future by contesting the idea of time as a linear succession of moments of presence. Time and space, being and becoming(s) enter into non-reductive and creative relationships.
In the wake of Nietzsche’s attempt to rethink time, the task of recording history also undergoes a fundamental reformulation. History can no longer be a discipline that merely registers the successions and constellations of entities and objects that remain identical over time. Nevertheless, history remains an integral part of his thinking. ‘Only as the most general form of history’, Nietzsche remarks in 1885, ‘is philosophy still acceptable to me’. History has to fulfil a much wider and a much more dynamic task. While philosophy definitely requires the corrective of history, the latter might have to be improved through a new philosophy of time.
Does Nietzsche, as some critics have argued, merely idealise time, transitoriness and difference in the same way that his predecessors idealised permanence, being and identity? What are the new conceptions of time that Nietzsche has to offer? What kind of historian was Nietzsche himself? What kinds of ‘temporal’ histories and ‘historical’ philosophies did Nietzsche write/or fail to write?
The Friedrich Nietzsche Society welcomes proposals for 30-minute papers on
the following themes:
· Time and/or History
· Becoming(s)
· Memory and Time
· Time and modern science
· Genealogy and repetition
· Human and trans-human time
· Time and immanent transcendence
· Eternal recurrence
· Static versus dynamic history
· History of the earth
· Nietzsche’s philosophy of history
· Nietzsche the historian
· Historical/temporal consciousness
· Reception of Nietzsche ideas of time and history in 20th century
Abstracts (no longer than 400 words) should be submitted by 01 April 2005 to Manuel Dries (md273@cam.ac.uk). Early submissions are welcome.

The following Call for Papers has been announced for the annual AAR Conference to be held on November 19-22, 2005 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Official Call:
"For our session "Theologies of Mission in a Pluralistic Age," we seek proposals considering the contributions open and relational theologies might make to interreligious dialogue. Are there limits to how "open" an open and relational theology should be to other traditions? What might an open and relational theological apologetic be in a pluralistic age? We are also co-sponsoring the session "American Empire and Religion" with Religious Freedom, Public Life, and the State Group. We encourage descriptive and prescriptive proposals. Does the United States act as an empire? If not, how not? If so, in what ways is it imperialistic? Upon what resources might religious traditions draw to answer these questions? Does religion in America embrace or oppose global domination?"
Expanded Call:
Theologies of Mission in a Pluralistic Age
Open and relational
theologians have typically embraced a theology of religions that prizes
inclusivism or some form of pluralism. In light of this, we seek papers
that consider what open and relational theology might contribute to a
theology of missions. What contribution might be made to
inter-religious dialogue and the discussion of religious pluralism? How
much religious consensus is necessary, and how much diversity should be
entertained? Are there limits to how "open" an open and relational
theology should be to other theological and religious traditions? What
might an open and relational theological apologetic look like in a
pluralistic age?
American Empire and Religion
Many around the world suggest that the
United States of America uses its immense power to impose its military,
political, and economic will upon others with little regard for their
best interest. In the minds of many, the United States has become a
global empire. Many religious traditions and people consider offensive
the coercive imposition typical of imperial rule. In this cosponsored
session, we encourage descriptive and prescriptive proposals that
address issues related to the tyranny of American empire. In what ways
does the United States act as an empire? Upon what resources might
religious traditions draw to oppose domination that generates overall
ill-being? In what ways do Americans worship the power and violence of
the American empire? What can religious people do to reject the
ideology of empire and work for a more humane and peaceful world?

Submissions are invited for presentation at a two-day symposium as part of the AISB 2005 Convention on Social Intelligence and Interaction in Animals, Robots and Agents (12-15 April, University of Hertfordshire, de Havilland Campus, Hatfield, England).
Machine Consciousness (MC) concerns itself with the study and creation of artefacts which have mental characteristics typically associated with consciousness such as (self-) awareness, emotion, affect, phenomenal states, imagination, etc.
Recently, developments in AI and robotics, especially through the prisms of behavioural and epigenetic robotics, have stressed the embodied, interactive and developmental nature of intelligent agents which are now regarded by many as essential to engineering human-level intelligence. Some recent work has suggested that giving robots imaginative or simulation capabilities might be a big step towards achieving MC. Other studies have emphasized 'second person' issues such as intersubjectivity and empathy as a substrate for human consciousness. Alongside this, the infant-caregiver relationship has been recognised as essential to the development of consciousness in its specifically human form.
Until now, most have considered these issues as, at best, tangential to the creation of artificial consciousness. This symposium proposes to bring them into greater focus and explore the contribution such work might make to next generation approaches to MC.
Submissions are especially invited on the following topics in their relation to MC:
· Imagination
· Development
· Enactive Approaches
· Heterophenomenology
· Synthetic Phenomenology
· Intersubjectivity
· Ethics
· General aspects (techniques, theories, constraints)
See www.sussex.ac.uk/cogs/mc-background for more information.
Symposium Dates:
Symposium will be held on the 12 and 13th April 2005 as part of the
AISB,05 Convention.
Submissions due by 31 October 2004

We live alongside our dreams, even if it is not to our liking. Not only are dreams recurrent themes in literary and visual representations, but theories of dreams and dreaming permeate all humanities disciplines. The dream is a potent critical tool; we suggest 'dream' could be the name of a new genre, like 'film'. We are surprisingly uncritical of our appropriation of dreams, which are too often taken to mean something else - symbols, manifestations of our psyche, or as a literary or rhetorical device through which truth, otherwise suppressed, slips into the open. This interdisciplinary conference wishes to shed fresh light on our relationship with dream and the mysteries of its allure, in order to redefine our approach to dreams. We will explore how, when, and why dreams come to us within the academic disciplines (or do we resort to dreams?). We wish to read dreams alongside and against psychoanalysis, and to ask to what extent 'dreams write', how much the texts we read and produce in our daily life are informed by dreams, or by our understanding of what dreams are.
We seek to bring together different disciplines, practices and genres through the theme of dream writing. Papers are thus sought across the humanities (literature, art, film, history, philosophy, anthropology, creative writing, etc), from specialists and non-specialists of dream theories. We welcome unique approaches to all aspects of dreams and dream writing, pointing to new ways of dreaming through reading / writing / conceptualising dreams.

Launched in October 2004, Interdisciplinary.Net is an open forum covering a wide range of philosophically-related aeas (from 'Evil' to the 'Role of Higher Education' and cyberculture, and many other areas). Well worth visiting, the forum is friendly to process-thought. It's academic credentials are excellent.
