IHCMD Online Summer School

May to August 2000

Sustaining Human Existence in Changing Conditions, Mental Existence 
and Conceptual and Mental Development

Setting the Conceptual and Mental Conditions Beyond Religion, Phi-
losophy and Science

The Institute for Human Conceptual and Mental Development (IHCMD) is 
presenting the second annual Online Summer School, Sustaining Human 
Existence in Changing Conditions, Mental Existence and Conceptual and 
Mental Development - Setting the Conceptual and Mental Conditions Be-
yond Religion, Philosophy and Science. 

The Program will run from the beginning of May to the end of August 
2000. The focus and concentration of the Program are persisting and 
growing human individual, social and environmental conditions, prob-
lems and challenges we face today, as individuals, as societies and 
as a species globally. 

The approach is to consider their nature and causes, answers and so-
lutions at the level of human mental existence and human conceptual 
and mental development. It is to consider them within the context of 
the fundamentals of the nature and conditions, demands and chal-
lenges, and comprehending and managing human mental existence. More-
over, it is to consider them within the context of the historical 
path and direction of human conceptual and mental development, of hu-
man beings trying to comprehend and manage existence in changing con-
ditions that has brought humanity to where we find ourselves today.

The aim of the Program is to understand the answers and solutions at 
the level of human conceptual and mental development. It is also to 
consider the direction in conceptual and mental development we need 
to take to deal with and address the conditions and problems we face.

The Program will discuss an approach to human understanding beyond 
religion, philosophy and science, beyond beliefs, abstractions and 
conjecture to set the conceptual and mental conditions for managing 
existence in equitable and sustainable ways, in changing conditions 
and narrowing natural parameters.

The Program is not an electronic discussion list for open debate of 
the issues. It is a study program delivered over the Internet through 
a moderated mailing List. 

The Program consists of the presentation, consideration and discus-
sion of a set of nine (9) interrelated discussion papers. It is an 
introduction to the fundamentals. A four-month Summer Program does 
not provide sufficient time for a detailed discussion of the specif-
ics of the issues. 

The Program is based on a long term and ongoing study, Sustaining Hu-
man Existence and Human Conceptual and Mental Development (SHEHCMD) 
Study, of the Institute for Human Conceptual and Mental Development 
(IHCMD). For information about the SHEHCMD Study and the Institute 
see the IHCMD web site at:

The Program is free of charge, though registration will be limited to 
50 participants. Registration will be on a first-come basis.
