9th International Conference on Philosophy, Psychiatry and Psychology Philosophy, Psychiatry and the Neurosciences June 28th - July 1st 2006 Leiden, The Netherlands Organized by the Section for Philosophy and Psychiatry of the Dutch Association for Psychiatry Faculty of Philosophy, University of Leiden in collaboration with The International Network for Philosophy and Psychiatry The Philosophy Special Interest Group of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (UK) Labyrinths have been known to the human race for over 4,000 years. The oldest is thought to be the “Cretan Labyrinth”. This classical Cretan labyrinth pattern has appeared for thousands of years in many variations throughout the world. The labyrinth can be found as both an image and metaphor in ancient myths, architecture, art, dance and indigenous rituals.

Leiden University is honoured to host this interdisciplinary conference on a rapidly expanding and increasingly important fi eld of refl ection and research. This oldest of the Dutch universities was founded in 1575. Its motto Praesidium Libertatis (bastion of freedom) refl ects core values of both the university and the city – values that were fostered during the city’s long history of struggle for independence and tolerance. Leiden is the city where the Pilgrim Fathers found refuge, it is the place where famous painters of the Dutch school lived and worked, and most notably, it is the birthplace of the illustrious Rembrandt van Rijn, whose 400th anniver- sary is commemorated this year. We hope that the clarity and open skies that are so typical for Dutch art and landscapes, together with the calm and spontaneity of the city, and the refl ective atmosphere of the Academia, will provide optimal conditions for fruitful discussion and encounter during our meeting. The topic of the conference is ‘Philosophy, Psychiatry, and the Neurosciences’. One of our aims is to clarify how philosophical refl ection on current neuroscientifi c research may help psychiatry to broaden and enrich its conceptual frameworks. There are many promising developments to report in this respect. Let me only mention the rapproche- ment between (existential) phenomenology and cognitive neuroscience, the emergence of neurophenomenology, and experiments that try to include subjective experience in neuroscientifi c research. In addition to contributions on this specifi c topic, there will be lectures on a wide variety of other issues, presented by eminent speakers from all continents of the world. We are looking forward to an exciting and fertile meeting!
