The Aim of the symposium
The 21st century is anticipated to be full of uncertainty. What is
necessary for us who are to live in such an era of uncertainty is the
creation of new system of values and culture through the networking
of human intelligence in various fields which tend to be unlinked with
each other. This symposium organized by the Faculty of Human
Development, Kobe University, and the Research Center for Human
Sciences attached to the Faculty is part of such attempts to seek for
the form of human intelligence in the new era.
In the upcoming 5th symposium, whose theme is "Becoming Human /
Being Human", we have so useful and stimulative lectures and panel
discussion, from the aspects of both "Human Evolution and Human
Development" and "Living as Human in modern society".
