Mind Matters: Past, Present, and Future

This roundtable traces the evolving understanding of mind from ancient philosophical and theological conceptions to contemporary accounts grounded in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computational models. It considers how advances across multiple scientific disciplines have reshaped ideas of mental phenomena, while also reflecting on the continuing roles of metaphysics and theology in interpreting the nature, limits, and future of mind, including speculation on how the concept of mind itself may change in the next century.
