The task of the Parmenides Foundation is to study “the foundations and frontiers of thinking”. For this purpose it runs the Parmenides Center for the Study of Thinking that has been established more than 10 years ago in co-operation with the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich.->more
In 2009 the Parmenides Center for Art and Science was founded to investigate the relation between art and science.->more

Over the years it turned out that a crucial field for understanding thinking – and for making the results of studying thinking practically relevant - are the unresolved foundational issues in science, especially in physics, biology and cognition research. Many members of the foundation continue to work and publish on foundational issues within their academic “home turf”.

For this reason, and in order to systematically utilize emergent synergies between their works, it has been decided to organize these ongoing activities in a specific organizational unit, the Parmenides Center for the Conceptual Foundations of Science. The Center is headed by Eörs Szathmáry and will be built up during 2012.->more
