Jean Gebser Society
This is the second volume in the Communication, Comparative Cultures, and Civilizations publication series. The goal of this series is to present peer-reviewed, original scholarship that addresses the complexities between cultural practice and world view. The scholarly essays in this volume focus on the relationships between language and consciousness, including emerging, diverging, dominant and co-language, appropriation, extinction, and other approaches that would augment the understanding of language and consciousness.
As part of this series, the current volume contains essays that address dynamic, civilizational relationships within the fields of education, health, community, history, literature, culture, and values. These chapters offer unique perspectives that inform the reader of alternate ways of viewing complex cultural phenomena. Further, these distinctive approaches to cultural issues aid scholars in developing distinctive theoretical positions that give voice to alternative cultural and civilizational viewpoints.
We look forward to meeting you at Monterey, CA for the 2012 Gebser Society Conference. We expect the call for paper for the 2012 conference to be issued in late February, 2012.
Jean Gebser (August 20, 1905 – May 14, 1973) was a philosopher who described the structures of human consciousness, a linguist, and a poet.
