As you might have read in our last mailing, Armin Stock has launched a website for our upcoming conference in Würzburg. You’ll find information there on the conference location and the program, on accomodation and how to get there. There is also a very helpful document with information on interesting sites, museums, guided tours around Würzburg and so on.
The conferencesite contains a web form which makes registration for the conference very easy. The conference site and the registration form can be found through this link: ESHHS Conference 2013
Two interesting books have recently been published by Carl Ratner, director of the Institute for Cultural Research and Education. The first, Macro Cultural Psychology, a Political Philosophy of Mind, explains how macro cultural factors are the cornerstones of society and how they form the origins and characteristics of psychological phenomena. In doing so it articulates a systematic political philosophy of mind and utilizes this to examine current issues and approaches to psychology.
In Cooperation, Community, and Co-Ops in a Global Era, Ratner argues for a societal paradigm shift and details how such a transformation might be accomplished. Taking the evolutionary long view, he demonstrates how cooperative principles can make a social system not just more efficient and less wasteful of time and resources, but also more democratic, empowering, and fulfilling for everyone involved.
