As loyal readers know, I’ve long advocated internationalizing the Decade of the Mind Project. I’m really pleased to report here that the web site for DOM-V in Berlin, Sept 10-12 of this year is up. This promises to be a spectacular meeting. Manfred Spitzer of the University of Ulm has been at the forefront of bringing this important goal to fruition.

Manfred Spitzer at the University of Ulm issues a clarion call for the internationalization of the Decade of the Mind project in the on-line journal Philosophy, Ethics and Humanities in Medicine.
Money quote:
Emphatically, the Decade of the Mind must be a global initiative, and certainly not merely a USA initiative concerning national (USA) science and medicine, the national (USA) economy, and national (USA) security and well-being. Just as global warming affects all of us and needs to be studied and dealt with on a global scale, the mind is something that should be studied from all angles of the globe and within all cultural backgrounds and contexts. Let’s not waste time and let’s ALL get started! All of humankind!
