The panel aims to investigate non-dualism as a cross-cutting paradigm between physics and metaphysics capable of fostering fruitful dialogue across disciplines and religions that are often perceived as distant. By rejecting ontological separations such as subject versus object or consciousness versus matter, non-dualism opens an immanent field of potentiality understood as a continuous process of self-manifestation. Phenomenal reality is not conceived as something external to this field but as its expression or modality, a dynamic play of internal self-differentiation unfolding through ongoing processes of contraction, folding, or topological inversion.
A first goal of the panel is to examine the presence of non-dual intuitions within metaphysical traditions that are usually considered far apart, and to open a dialogue among frameworks that view reality as a unitary process from which multiplicity emerges through immanent differentiation. Examples may range across religious traditions, highlighting how non-dual intuitions ground practices of comparison and interreligious dialogue, question hierarchical models of reality, and contribute to ethical and social frameworks aimed at reducing symbolic, epistemic, and social inequalities.
A second aim is to explore how these metaphysical systems may offer fruitful interpretive models for contemporary sciences. The panel encourages contributions that identify robust resonances with quantum mechanics, morphogenesis and autopoiesis, enactive approaches to cognition, theories of self-consciousness, semiotics, set theory, mereology, sound engineering, or biochemistry. Researchers working in religious, philosophical, linguistic, and scientific fields are invited to propose avenues of dialogue showing how a non-dual perspective can provide an interdisciplinary epistemological ground, a unified lens capable of illuminating complex phenomena by allowing multiplicity to be understood through unity.
