Abstract

Today marks the inauguration of the first symposium of the newly founded Academia Eurasiana Neurochirurgica. The name is revealing and it shows what your intentions are.

This objective is in itself of quite exceptional importance, but—we should be under no illusions about this—the accomplishment of this objective is no less difficult. Anyone with experience in this field knows that a dialogue between arts and sciences is by no means simple even within the same culture; the difficulties become that much greater when a dialogue is being attempted across cultural and religious boundaries.
