The Japan Society for Process Studies was established in 1979. The purpose of the Society is (1) to promote the interdisciplinary researches in the various academic fields through the studies of Whitehead’s philosophy and process thought, and (2) to contribute to the development of these academic fields through academic and international exchanges between and among researchers. The 30th anniversary conference will be held with the following purpose : We are now faced with a quite new and dangerous stage of civilization. It means that we should be urged to proceed to a new Adventures of Ideas. In order to sustain and develop the humanities, to attain peace and stability of the human world and human lives, to sustain the harmony of the natural world, and to aim at the harmony of all the worlds which are generated by these humanities, societies and nature, we hope to hold the conference based on the above theme with members joining us from neighboring countries.
