Philoctetes Roundtable Discussions

Philoctetes

 

The Philoctetes Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of the Imagination at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute was established to promote an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of creativity and the imaginative process.

The Center creates and supports projects, public forums, research and information gathering which foster cooperation and dialogue among diverse disciplines, while seeking to create public awareness of these efforts. To achieve its mission the Center holds roundtable discussions with participants from various fields (neuroscience, psychology, mathematics, psychoanalysis, humanities and art, philosophy and theology), offers a forum for presentation of works in progress, and is developing a data base on imagination with the aim of becoming a clearing house for all available literature on the subject. All events are free and open to the public.

Collected here are those events of most relevence to neuropsychoanalysis.
