The Body and Beyond I: Cross-Cultural Understandings of Subtle Energy

This is the first conference in a new series which will investigate the many ways in which the body interacts with the world other than just physically.

Mainstream Western philosophical traditions recognise only the physical aspects of the body, sidelining all the other ways in which we experience the world through our bodies in a non-physical way. Notwithstanding, other cultures and esoteric western traditions do recognise and consider how the body manifests and interacts with the world in other, subtler ways. This conference is designed to open up the field for exploration of new models of subtle bodies and subtle energy and our speakers will give us cross-cultural perspectives and enlarge our understanding of the relationship between the physical and the subtle as mediated by consciousness and intention. We hope that this in turn will contribute to reformulating our understanding of what it is to be human. We greatly look forward to welcoming you to Bath.
