The following is the brief report written by Professor Paul Dumouchel. The international workshop/conference Thinking the Human held at Stanford University (USA) on November 15 and 16 and to which I participated is the second of a series of three meetings (the first one was held at Cambridge University on November 2009) dedicated to developing a new understanding of what it is to be human by bringing together the insights of Darwin's evolutionary theory and of René Girard's mimetic theory of culture. Its participants came from several different disciplines, biology, anthropology, economics, neuroscience, clinical psychology and philosophy. The next meeting will be held in Cambridge in May 2011. *Please click below for more detailed information about our program. http://www.arsvi.com/a/index.htm http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/acd/re/k-rsc/ars_vivendi/english.html We are eager to promote collaborative research projects with disabled patients' advocacy groups, non-profit organizations, as well as domestic and international researchers.
