Center for Design of Future Symbiosis

• Return to Project List

Summary

The center aims to achieve future symbiosis with diverse others (minorities, animals, and non-biological entities like AI). To accomplish this, it conducts research based on integrating knowledge from the humanities and social sciences, focusing on in-depth micro and macro-level foundational studies on the human mind. Furthermore, it seeks to generate and implement values for social expansion with these research findings.
