Scientifc background and rationale to study naturalistic approaches to culture
Te main aim of the workshop is to explore the possibilities and limitations of nat-u
ralistic approaches to mind and culture. Te most important new vistas arise from
modern evolutionary theory but the issues also have, in the background, the tra-
ditional debates on reductionism and biological determinism. Two broad kinds of
approaches will be discussed and compared:
1. During the past two decades with the advent of evolutionary psy-
chology and related developments a new serious challenge has
been made regarding the biological routing of some of the most
cherished cultural achievements and features of humans. This
challenge basically involves the idea that some of our cultural hab -
its and propensities are the results of interactions between bio -
logical constraints and cultural shaping, rather then being con-
structed by culture alone.
2. Many scientists and scholars have argued, on the other hand, that
the notions of the “biological” and the “cultural” are based on dua-l
istic thinking that is increasingly problematic. Man has increasingly
powerful means for refashioning nature through the “culturing” of
natural environment and through molding living organisms e.g. by
help of biotechnology and synthetic biology. Te biological and the
cultural also intermingle through human impacts on global climate
and environment. Tus, many scholars have found it necessary to
speak of “naturecultures” and “biosocialities”. Tere are, furthe-r
more, technical issues that need to be addressed. One major obsta-
cle to a better understanding and collaboration between scientists
and cultural/humanities scholars is that of diferences in thods and
approach. Tis constitutes a barrier for communication within the
sub-disciplines in naturalistic domains and across the naturalistic
and cultural felds.
5A discussions between these two paradigms was the main moving idea for the
Standing Committee of the Humanities of the European Science Foundation to
support the strategic workshop. The two above broad paradigms need to be tho-r
oughly discussed, annotated by some of the technical barriers to understanding,
e.g., the barriers to understanding due to the technical and theoretical jargon in
using neuroscience data and similar issues.
Some of the challenging issues involved are:
• the “natural” origin and “biology” of sociality
• the naturalistic origins of human cognitive capacities, including cultural
phenomena such as art, literature, music, etc.
• the usefulness of the concepts of “naturecultures” and “biosocialities”
• the interface between biological evolution and cultural evolution
• adaptation as exaptation in explaining culture
• biological (most importantly neural and genetic) determinism and
the prediction of human behavior
• universal and specific aspects of cultural systems such as languages
• the neural circuitry of primary (language like) and secondary (writing
like) cultural systems
The organizers of the workshop hope both for a fruitful discussion and rea-son
able proposals to continue the nature/culture discussions in a more regular basis
in the framework of the ESF.
