The objective of this Workshop-cum-Seminar is to bring together the scholars belonging to different disciplines on the fascinating subject of the nature of consciousness. The essential thrust of the Workshop-cum-Seminar is to move beyond the exploratory stage of the two Seminars held earlier on art analogous theme and try to arrive at a clearer configuration of the nature of human consciousness. This is a subject, which has challenged as well as fascinated the intellectual community across the disciplines. It calls for a concerted application of minds of philosophers, scientists and the experientialists. As such it involves a truly cross-cultural venture, a meeting of minds representing the major cultural tradition.
