30th Annual Meeting of The Jean Piaget Society ALTERNATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS OF SELF AND MIND CONSTRUCTIONS ALTERNATIVES DU SOI ET DE L'ESPRIT June 1 - 3, 2000, Montréal, Canada

General Theme Situated on the cusp of a new millennium, this 30th Annual Meeting of the Jean Piaget Society takes as its transitional object the question of how persons, located in different times or places or moments in their own intellectual history, come to hold different beliefs about the nature of mind and personal identity. A panel of distinguished plenary speakers (anthropologists, developmentalists, intellectual historians, and philosophers of mind) will work to bring out how alternative understandings of selfhood and distinctive conceptions of mental life have cohered in history, culture, and development. Plenary Addresses Andreas Demetriou (University of Cyprus) Rom Harré (Linacre College, Oxford & Georgetown University) Dorothy Holland (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) Larry Nucci (University of Illinois at Chicago) Amelie O. Rorty (Brandeis University) Donald E. Polkinghorne (University of Southern California)
