On January 22, 1990, the late John Bell held at CERN (European
Laboratory for Particle Physics), Geneva a seminar organized by the
Center of Quantum Philosophy, that at this time was an association
of scientists interested in the interpretation of quantum
mechanics. In this seminar Bell presented once again his famous
theorem. Thereafter a discussion took place in which not only
physical but also highly speculative epistemological and
philosophical questions were vividly debated. The list of topics
included: assumption of free will in Bell's theorem, the
understanding of mind, the relationship between the mathematical
and the physical world, the existence of unobservable causes and
the limits of human knowledge in mathematics and physics.
Encouraged by this stimulating discussion some of the participants
decided to found an Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (lIS)
to promote philosoph ical and interdisciplinary reflection on the
advances of science. Meanwhile the lIS has associated its
activities with the Swiss foundation, Fondation du Leman, and the
Dutch foundation, Stichting Instudo, registered in Geneva and
Amsterdam, respectively. With its activities the lIS intends to
strengthen the unity between the professional activities in science
and the reflection on fun damental philosophical questions. In
addition the interdisciplinary approach is expected to give a
contribution to the progress of science and the socio economic
development. At present three working groups are active within the
lIS, i. e.: - the Center for Quantum Philosophy, - the Wealth
Creation and Sustainable Development Group, - the Neural Science
Group."
