WORKSHOP /during the Festive Plenary Days 2025

Date: 06.03.2025

PLEASE SAVE the Date!

Sciences have traditionally been influencing each other in augmenting knowledge and
understanding. From time to time certain research fields have been at the forefront of
the corresponding developments. Even a historical consideration cannot always tell,
however, which efforts and achievements have been preponderant and driving for the
advancement of knowledge to follow. Even less is it possible to predict the impact of
achievements by a particular subject on the future developments of understanding as
a whole. One may recall, as an example, the appearance of the internet in physics and
its spreading to practically all kinds of areas in human life with all its – a-priori
unexpected – consequences until present.
Recently we have seen the impact of machine assistance above all in learning,
research, and communication. We are facing the question, if this development will –-
as is often conjectured – revolutionize the advancement of thought and
understanding of our world. Will it outperform sooner or later the human abilities that
beyond logic and induction rely to a large extent also on qualities such as inspiration,
feeling, believe, curiousness etc.?
The workshop will focus on identifying the mechanisms governing the progress in
knowledge and understanding and try to determine the prerequisites and chances for further developments...
