Aims

​We want to bring together scholars with different points of entry but a shared interest in organisms and the internal conflicts that divide them. We are aiming to assemble an edited volume from the proceedings of this conference, which we hope will inspire further work focused on organismality and internal conflicts. 

We acknowledge generous support from the John Templeton foundation. Our project is one of many supported under the broader Science of Purpose project, spearheaded by Alan Love at the University of Minnesota.
