The goal of this symposium was to promote intellectual exchanges on one
of the central questions in modern human sciences: how do human minds
and social/institutional arrangements
constitute a self-sustainable system? By "self-sustainable system," we
mean a system that is somewhat similar (but not necessarily equal) to
the notion of equilibrium
in the field of economics. More specifically, we would like to address
issues such as: 1) how to explain "cultural differences" in
psychological functioning, 2) how to analyze the relationship between
social and institutional arrangements and "cultural
differences" in psychological traits and/or cultural beliefs, and
3) how to analyze the ways in which evolutionarily-based psychological
mechanisms help (or constrain)
links between the institutional arrangements and "culturally specific" psychological
traits.
