John Spackman (Philosophy) has been awarded a grant to participate in a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute titled Investigating Consciousness: Buddhist and Contemporary Philosophical Perspectives, which will be held at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. During the institute, John’s goal is to develop more fully a Buddhist-inspired view of the relation between the mental and the physical that he has been working on over the past few years, what he has called “neutral non-dualism.”
