In the lecture we attempt to bridge a conceptual gap within the consciousness research between the scientific-materialist approach from the “outside” or from the “third-person” position on the one hand and the transpersonal exploration relying on experiences on the „inside“ or in the „first person“ position on the other, by developing a unifying conception of creativity as implied by modern Platonism in the spirit of A.N. Whitehead. We take a close look at D.C. Dennett’s explication of evolutionary bottom-up emergence of consciousness in which the author employs his idea of cognitive stances resulting, thanks to his Platonic inspiration, in a non-reducible model based on the Allegory of the Cave.
The mission of the conference is to present an exclusive series of lectures, panel discussions and experiential workshops delivered by legendary founders of transpersonal psychology such as Stanislav Grof, Ervin Laszlo, Rick Doblin, Alex Grey, Dean Radin and many more key figures of the current transpersonal movement, as well as from other disciplines such as inner health, psychotherapy and clinical research, Psychedelics, shamanism, collective psychics and social transformation, mystical spirituality and more ..
