ROUND TABLE I: DOES THE IDENTITY OF A PERSON OVER TIME STILL MATTER?

Josephine PAPST
President of indexicals – Centre of transdisciplinary cognitive and state-system sciences,
Graz, Austria

Abstract:

What seems to be contemporarily relevant in the very different parts of the world and globally, and in the different societies – in everyday life including the demands for entertainment in some societies, in sciences, in basic laws, in economics, in politics, in arts, and in literature?
An increase in ...?
An increase in what?

An increase in humanity and in an improvement of the human conditions sub species eternitatis?

Or what?

An increase of the various kinds of power structures within and between the manifold societies over individuals in favour of an increase of economic growth? The acceptance of the identity of a person over time who has a self an resists to give it up is a very serious problem for such societies. Scientifically, sociologically, legally, and politically the elimination of the identity of a person over time an a self in favour of some kinds of a survival is very productive an innovative. Why not to contribute to it?

Is there a way to resist?
Is there a way to increase humanity in its genuine sense, self-reliable and genuinely creative human beings based on their good faith?

These are the basic questions of the Round Table I.
