Three dialogues on values from mind to society: historical, philosophical, psychological and neuroscientific perspectives

Journée d'étude dans le cadre du Programme "Cerveau, Culture et Société" de l'IEA de Paris.

Values remain an essential driver of human actions, whether they pose prohibitions or designate desirable conducts. Every society, every social field is based on a set of values that form the basis of its identity and enable it to function, but which can also contradict each other and give rise to dysfunction and conflicts. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary to account for the interweaving of individual and collective dimensions of values and their role in guiding behaviour. The Paris IAS proposes a series of dialogues between philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists to explore how values, morality(ies), reason(s) and passions shape relationships to the world and human actions, from their most carnal anchorage in bodies and minds to their most global expression at the societal level.
