IHCMD Online Summer School
Sustaining Human Existence in Changing Conditions,
Mental Existence and Conceptual and Mental Development
Setting the Conceptual and Mental Conditions
Beyond Religion, Philosophy and Science
May to August 2000
The Institute for Human Conceptual and Mental Development (IHCMD) is
presenting the second annual Online Summer School, Sustaining Human
Existence in Changing Conditions, Mental Existence and Conceptual and
Mental Development - Setting the Conceptual and Mental Conditions Beyond
Religion, Philosophy and Science.
The Program will run from the beginning of May to the end of August 2000.
The focus and concentration of the Program are persisting and growing human
individual, social and environmental conditions, problems and challenges we
face today, as individuals, as societies and as a species globally.
The approach is to consider their nature and causes, answers and solutions
at the level of human mental existence and human conceptual and mental
development. It is to consider them within the context of the fundamentals
of the nature and conditions, demands and challenges, and comprehending and
managing human mental existence. Moreover, it is to consider them within
the context of the historical path and direction of human conceptual and
mental development, of human beings trying to comprehend and manage
existence in changing conditions that has brought humanity to where we find
ourselves today.
The aim of the Program is to understand the answers and solutions at the
level of human conceptual and mental development. It is also to consider
the direction in conceptual and mental development we need to take to deal
with and address the conditions and problems we face.
The Program will discuss an approach to human understanding beyond
religion, philosophy and science, beyond beliefs, abstractions and
conjecture to set the conceptual and mental conditions for managing
existence in equitable and sustainable ways, in changing conditions and
narrowing natural parameters.
The Program is not an electronic discussion list for open debate of the
issues. It is a study program delivered over the Internet through a
moderated mailing List.
The Program consists of the presentation, consideration and discussion of a
set of nine (9) interrelated discussion papers. It is an introduction to
the fundamentals. A four-month Summer Program does not provide sufficient
time for a detailed discussion of the specifics of the issues.
The Program is based on a long term and ongoing study, Sustaining Human
Existence and Human Conceptual and Mental Development (SHEHCMD) Study, of
the Institute for Human Conceptual and Mental Development (IHCMD). For
information about the SHEHCMD Study and the Institute see the IHCMD web
site at http://go.to/ihcmd.
The Program is free of charge, though registration will be limited to 50
participants. Registration will be on a first-come basis.
