whitehead Psychology Nexus : Charte

Michel — 2011-08-19T14:22:46Z

Le réseau « Whitehead Psychology Nexus » est un forum international dédié à l'élucidation croisée de la philosophie organique whiteheadienne et des différentes facettes de la science psychologique. Le réseau est coordonné par Michael W. Katzko (Nijmegen), Michel Weber et Anderson Weekes (New York), en collaboration avec un comité scientifique composé de Harald Atmanspacher (Institut für Grenzgebiete der Psychologie und Psychohygiene e.V., Freiburg), Renaud Barbaras (Philosophie, Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne), Mark H. Bickhard (Cognitive Science, Lehigh University), Jason W. Brown (Neurology, New York University Medical Center), Marcel Kinsbourne (Cognitive Studies, Tufts University & Psychology, New School University, New York), Detlef Linke (Neurology, Bonn Universität), B. Duncan MacQueen (Neurolinguistics, Medical Academy of Bydgoszcz and Comparative Literature, University of Silesia), Maria Pachalska (Medical Rehabilitation, Cracow Rehabilitation Center), Nicholas Rescher (Philosophy, Pittsburgh University), Clive Sherlock (Psychiatry/Psychology, Clare Hall, Cambridge, U.K.), Gudmund Smith (Psychology, Lunds Universitet), et Timothy L. S. Sprigge (Philosophy, Edinburgh University).

À l'heure actuelle, seules des journées d'étude internationales anglophones sont programmées. Les réunions passées furent le fruit d'une collaboration avec, respectivement,

— le New York University Medical Center (Fontarèches 2002 et 2003),
— le New York University Medical Center et la Gdansk Academy of Humanities (Avignon 2004)
— la Kangnam University (Séoul 2004),
— le Centre d'Études sur le Pragmatisme et la Philosophie Analytique (Paris 2004),
— la Polish Neuropsychological Society et la Gdansk Academy of Humanities (Katowice 2005).

Le Whitehead Psychology Nexus publie des « études » — les WPNStudies — qui entendent promouvoir la transdisciplinarité en philosophie et en psychologie whiteheadiennes. Le premier volume s'était fixé pour objectif d'établir un état des lieux général. Le second volume se focalise sur la question de la conscience. Les troisième et quatrième volumes exploiteront, respectivement, un chiasme Est/Ouest et Nord/Sud. Une présentation exhaustive des publications du WPN se trouve dans la section correspondante.
