This workshop brings together leading scientists and philosophers to explore the intricate relationships between plasma, consciousness, and cosmic evolution. In a collaborative effort, we will examine how plasma cosmology challenges traditional paradigms, offering new perspectives on the nature of life, intelligence, and experience. Our goal is to cultivate a deeper comprehension of plasma’s far-reaching implications for understanding the universe and our place within it.

In the conference presentations, we encourage contributors to share the results of transdisciplinary research on the foundations of education (and, more broadly, the humanities), utilizing the interpretive framework offered by Whiteheadian process philosophy.
