Defining Thoughts - Interdisciplinary workshop on the notion of thought Within the interdisciplinary research project "Are Thoughts Motor Processes?", the workshop "Defining Thoughts" will take place on June 5.-7. 2008 in Bochum, Germany. The workshop "Defining Thoughts" aims at working out a notion of thought fully usable in interdisciplinary research. While each discipline, from linguistics and psychology to philosophy, traditionally uses its own notion of thought, "Defining Thoughts" brings together researchers from each of these disciplines to discuss the different notions of thought and to develop a common notion making interdisciplinary communication possible.
