Thereare,nodoubt,morethingsbetweentheheavensandtheearththanwecanapprehendwiththesenses.Thishasgivenrisetothebeliefthatwemust possess some sort of extrasens-ory perception. Yet it is hard to identify whatexactly such a perception—referred to some-timesasthesixthsense—comprises.Thespec-trum ranges from moments of foreboding toauspicious premonitions, from everyday intui-tionstodivination,frominstinctualbehaviorinlarge groups to individual strokes of genius.Attempts to sort outwhatwemeanwhenwetalkabout the sixth senseandwhatultimatelyunderlies it havearrivedat verydifferent con-clusions. Are its manifestations mere disturb-ances in our perception, ones that stubbornlypersistdespite (orbecause)of thedisenchant-ment that characterizes today’s modern, em-piricalworld?Or are theybridges to thewon-derland surrounding the campfire of reason,andassuchinaccessibletorationalcomprehen-sion? This conference focuses on the wayspeople experience and understand the sixthsensetoday.
