Note from the Editor

The Human Science Research Conference has a thirtyyear history, one that has been rich in conversation and discussions and that inspired those who have attended each year. This summer we were delighted to see that many new colleagues joined our group. This is encouraging to all of us who care about the future of human science.

As time passes, we also experience more often the sadness and loss that comes with the death of colleagues, some of whom have attended and contributed to the conference for decades or even from its very beginning. In regard to this kind of loss, Arthur Schopenhauer’s words fit for me:

The deep pain that is felt at the death of every friendly soul arises from the feeling that there is in every individual something which is inexpressible, peculiar to him alone, and is, therefore, absolutely and irretrievably lost.
