Over de uitgeverij
This book is the outgrowth of the meeting "Quantum brain dynamics and the
humanities: A new perspective for the 21st century", which was held at the
Institute for Scientific Interchange (ISI) in Torino, Italy, in November 2002.
The meeting was born from an idea of Globus Gordon, to gather those involved in
the formulation of the quantum model of brain, initiated by Luigi Maria
Ricciardi and Hiroomi Umezawa in the middle of 1960s, to discuss in some
informal but productive way the model implications for literature, philosophy,
and the arts. His conviction was that the quantum model of brain could be in
some sense the prototype of a new conception of making science: without loosing
its characteristics and the powerfulness of the Galilean method, science must
recover its merging with humanities, from which it has diverged during its
development. On the other hand, humanities cannot ignore the logical and formal
(mathematical and methodological) apparatus of science. Knowledge should not
continue to suffer a conceptual splitting between human science and natural
science. New ways of thinking are needed to effect a rapprochement. The meeting
was thus conceived to be a first limited attempt, a sort of "experiment" of
"thinking together" quantum brain dynamics and humanities, organized in the
frame of the ISI Project "Expanding Perception". The ISI Project aims to
explore that domain of complexity theory that lies at the boundary between
"hard" science, arts, linguistic and bears as well on cognitive and perception
science (including the notion of mental space as induced by knowledge
structuring and language).
