INTRODUCTION TO AESTHETICS
\nPROGRAM
\nThis course is structured in four parts &ndash\; (1) aesthetics and sense perception\; (2) speculative aesthetics\; (3) poetics\; and (4) experimental aesthetics &ndash\; \;and analyses a series of aesthetic concepts and phenomena &ndash\; such as aesthetic experience\, aesthetic judgement\, aisthesis\, art\, aura\, beauty\, emotion\, empathy\, imagination\, perception\, sublime\, and taste &ndash\; \;from both a speculative aesthetic perspective and an experimental aesthetic perspective. Whereas speculative aesthetics is the study of aesthetic concepts based on the use of pure reason\, experimental aesthetics &ndash\; a field of psychology founded by Gustav Theodor Fechner in the 19th century &ndash\; is the study of aesthetic phenomena that takes into account empirical evidences from disciplines such as biology\, experimental psychology\, and neurophysiology.

\nOver the 2023-2024 academic year\, the \;Carol and Lawrence Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research \;at the Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania\, will convene a regular works-in-progress series for scholars working in normative business ethics (NBE). In particular\, the Series will workshop papers pursuing business ethics issues from a normative perspective\, or papers in moral or political philosophy with implications for the market\, distributive justice\, labor relations\, the role of business in society\, etc.
\nWorkshop Objectives
\nThe Series is part of an effort to foster normative business ethics in the academy and the public sphere. This particular initiative has two key objectives: First\, it endeavors to provide a regular forum for scholars working on business ethics from a normative perspective. The community of such scholars is relatively small\, and dispersed across numerous institutions\, and there are few opportunities for these individuals to convene and share work. This Series is an effort to connect these scholars and to enrich their shared intellectual life. Second\, the Series aims to be especially valuable to junior faculty and advanced graduate students\, by providing them with feedback from\, and opportunities to interact with\, more established members of the normative business ethics community. To that end\, we hope to have (at least) one junior author and one senior author at each session.
\nWorkshop Format
\nThe workshop will meet six times over the academic year. Any academic or practitioner with an interest in normative business ethics is invited to attend the sessions. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come with feedback for the paper authors. To maximize the opportunity for paper improvement\, authors will not present their papers\; we will instead spend our time together on questions and comments for the author.
\nSessions will be held on Fridays\, beginning at 1:00 pm unless otherwise indicated. We will discuss two to three papers at each session. \;Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come prepared to offer feedback.
\nThe sessions will be held in-person in Philadelphia\, on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.
\nOur planned session dates are:
\nOctober 6
\nNovember 10
\nDecember 1
\nJanuary 26
\nFebruary 16
\nApril 5
\n \;
\nAbstract Submission
\nWe invite abstract submissions from \;faculty and post-docs\, and from graduate students who have advanced to the ABD stage. \;Preferential treatment will be given to those who have not presented work at the Series before\, and we especially welcome submissions from women and under-represented minorities.
\nThe abstract should propose a paper in normative business ethics or related areas\, as described above. We ask that submissions offer a fairly detailed sense of the paper without exceeding 500 words.
\nWe ask that applicants identify three of the above dates\, in order of preference\, at which they would like to present their work.
\nPlease send your abstract to Brian Berkey &ndash\; \;bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu \;-- by July 1st\, 2023. \;Individuals will be notified about whether their paper has been selected for presentation by August 1st\, 2023.
\nInformation for selected authors
\nThe Zicklin Center is pleased to offer travel funding for paper authors for the session at which their paper will be discussed. Reimbursement for travel expenses is subject to two conditions. By accepting the offer to workshop a paper\, the paper author pledges that:
\n1. \; \; \; \; The paper they will share is at a stage of development where the author can incorporate feedback gained at the workshop (e.g.\, the paper is not yet in page proofs or in print)\; and
\n2. \; \; \; \; The paper author will send their draft paper to the organizers no fewer than 14 days before their presentation date.
\nFor co-authored papers\, we can ordinarily only provide travel funding for one of the authors\, though other co-authors are welcome to attend.
\nPlease address any questions about the CFA or the workshop to one of the organizers: Brian Berkey (bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu) or Amy Sepinwall (sepin@wharton.upenn.edu).

\n \;
\nInternational Conference: Philosophy of the Black Experience
\n \;
\nMarch 28-30\, 2024
\nHoward University\, Washington DC
\nThe demand/struggle for racial equality\, identity\, and justice by populations racialized as Black (and other people of color) in the United States and anywhere around the world remain issues of pressing philosophical concern. The struggle for equality and justice requires not only theoretical articulations but also practical accounts upon which to make the demands. Thus\, the contributions of the Black race and continent to global civilization need exploration\, showcasing\, and articulations because they are neither fully appreciated nor given due global recognition. Whether those contributions come from Black Africa\, Latin America\, the Caribbean\, or elsewhere\, their historical understanding and relevance to contemporary concerns must be adamantly asserted to avoid further marginalization. This conference focuses on the philosophy of the black experience throughout human history to explore the significant contributions and denials of the black race in world civilization. The conference is a philosophical interrogation of black experience in global and national affairs\; hence it welcomes papers in all areas of intellectualism that articulate the philosophy of the black experience in any area of human endeavors.
\nSUBMISSION GUIDELINES
\n \;

Since late Ronald Dworkin\, a prominent legal philosopher\, argued for a racial quota in the admission process of a medical school (which the US Supreme Court struck down in the famous Bakke Case (1978)) in his book Taking Rights seriously\, a number of legal and moral philosophers have discussed whether\, when and why affirmative action policies are justified. Recently\, the US Supreme Court invalidated the selection methods of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina (which\, albeit being race-conscious\, seem to be more sophisticated than that employed in Bakke) in SFFA Case (2023). For all what Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his plural opinion\, some argued that the decision substantially overruled the Grutter Case (2003)\, in which the Supreme Court upheld the selection method of University of Michigan Law School that considered applicants' race as one of many factors.
In this workshop\, we will discuss a wide range of issues concerning affirmative action from the perspectives of legal\, moral and social philosophy. Yuichiro Mori\, an associate professor of Hokkaido University (Japan) and the convenor of this workshop\, have worked on theories of equality and discrimination in the fields of legal and political philosophy (he contributed the entry &ldquo\;Relational Equality&rdquo\; to Encyclopedia of the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-6730-0_1134-1). He is now a visiting scholar at Harvard Law School and working on legal and philosophical issues concerning affirmative action in scarce medical resource allocation (e.g.\, vaccines\, therapeutics and ventilators). While affirmative action policies in the domains of workplace and education have been well discussed\, only a few have focused on this newly domain. At this workshop\, he will deliver a presentation related to this topic (his recent publication on this topic is &ldquo\;Making Sense of Race-based Affirmative Action in Allocating Scarce Medical Resources&rdquo\; Res Philosophica\, Online First. forthcoming) and also serve as a moderator.
Any paper related to affirmative action is welcome\, but we highly encourage the submission from those purporting to raise relatively novel topics or bring about new perspectives into affirmative action debates. There is no restriction with respect to methodology in philosophy\, but those familiar with analytical philosophy are especially welcome. The topics presented at this workshop might include (and not be limited to):
&bull\; \;On the possible domains of affirmative action other than workplace and education (e.g.\, health\, immigration\, military/non-military civic duties).
&bull\; \;On the justifiability of affirmative action programs against those (typically considered) already disadvantaged (e.g.\, higher standards for Asians and women in the admission process of &ldquo\;Ivy League&rdquo\; universities in the US to maintain racial/gender balance).
&bull\; \;On affirmative-action-related-issues provoked by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) (e.g.\, Is it permissible or required to consider race or gender when designing fair AI algorithm? If so\, how they can do so in a morally and legally permissible way?)
&bull\; \;On affirmative action and inter-generational justice (e.g.\, Even if affirmative action is justified as a temporary measure to eliminate the effect of past and present discrimination\, how should the burden be shared between different present and future cohorts in order for it to be fair?)
&bull\; \;On fit between means and ends and diverse conceptions of &ldquo\;treatment as an individual&rdquo\; (e.g.\, Would the best equality-of-opportunity affirmative action (that pays due consideration to all disadvantageous traits) collapse into individual (rather than group)-based redistributive programs? Does &ldquo\;treatment as an individual&rdquo\; direct us toward &ldquo\;more information&rdquo\; rather than &ldquo\;blindness&rdquo\;?)
&bull\; \;On conceptual distinctions between different measures and principles (e.g.\, Is point-system relevantly distinct from a quota in terms of fairness for individuals? How different is &ldquo\;anti-classification&rdquo\; principle from &ldquo\;color/gender blindness&rdquo\;?)
If you are interested in delivering a presentation at this workshop\, please send your abstract (between 300 and 500 words) to ymori@juris.hokudai.ac.jp. by March 29\, 2024. Sending your full paper in addition is highly welcome but not mandatory.
The philosophy graduate students at Boston University are soliciting papers and abstracts from graduate students in any area of philosophy for the Boston University Annual Graduate Student Conference on &ldquo\;Valuing Research and Researching Values: How to Bridge the Gaps Between Ethics and Science.&rdquo\; This year&rsquo\;s conference will feature a keynote address by Professor Kevin Elliott of Michigan State University. Professor Elliott has published extensively on the responsible management of ethical and social values in scientific research.
 \;
In recent years\, ethicists and philosophers of science have thoroughly investigated the social context of scientific knowledge production\, highlighting the extent to which non-epistemic values\, such as ethical\, cultural\, and aesthetic values\, are entangled in each stage of scientific practice\, from measurement and data collection to the allocation of funds. This acknowledgment has caused many to question the value-free ideal of science and the notion of scientific objectivity\, urging us to reconsider our normative understanding of what scientific knowledge is and how it should be achieved.
This new understanding of science has many implications for society: making the value-ladenness of science explicit allows us to enhance public trust in science\, to negotiate values and goals among stakeholders and policymakers\, and to critically engage with the discriminatory and colonial practices of western science towards indigenous knowledge. We wish to emphasize how values such as transparency\, fairness\, openness\, and equity play a crucial role in determining the goals of various domains of inquiry. This conference provides a space to appraise such values and their role as guides to scientific inquiry.
 \;
We believe that focusing on the values that inform scientific practice across different domains and discussing the aims and goals of scientific research\, from healthcare to conservation efforts\, is key to developing a socially engaged philosophy of science. By laying bare the extent to which values play a crucial role in identifying research topics\, choosing research questions\, determining the aims of inquiry\, responding to uncertainty\, and deciding how to communicate information\, philosophers can make meaningful contributions towards a more responsible and equitable science.

Dear colleagues\,
\nWe are delighted to announce a conference that will delve into the convoluted relationship between identity and virtue(s)\, emphasizing their manifestations in human-AI interaction. The conference theme includes three interconnected domains\, namely:
\n1) the interplay between identity and virtue(s) in humans\,
\n2) the importance of virtues in human-AI interaction\, online environments\, and consequences for identity\,
\n3) the plausibility of attributing virtue(s) and identity to AI-based systems or AI-powered robots.
\nThe event welcomes the employment of several disciplines\, including but not limited to philosophy\, bioethics\, theology\, computer science\, law\, educational sciences\, and their interdisciplinary permeation.
\nA particular section of the event will focus on the aspect of epistemic identity and epistemic virtue(s)\, and the bridging of gaps between virtue epistemology\, AI ethics\, and religious studies. The aim is to elucidate how human epistemic identity\, encompassing fundamental beliefs\, cognitive processes\, and epistemic standards\, intertwines with virtuousness\, religious belief(s)\, and associated virtues like humility. Proposed papers could also investigate the evolution of epistemic identity and virtue in online environments and interactions with AI systems such as chatbots\, posing crucial questions about trustworthiness\, fairness\, and the attribution of virtues to AI entities.
\nOther open topics for this section include but are not limited to:
\n● investigating how human epistemic identities evolve in interaction with AI systems and the implications of such interactions\,
\n● the feasibility of communicating and evolving religious beliefs within human-AI communication\,
\n● questioning whether AI systems possess a discernible epistemic identity and the associated implications of this\,
\n● attributing virtues or vices to AI entities and their potential to engender epistemic harm or injustice.

This signifies that law can be intentionally created and applied to achieve specific objectives. Nevertheless\, there has been insufficient reflection on the distinct legal tools available within and outside the legal arena for the realization of these ends. Theoretical analyses of this instrumental dimension of law frequently focus on its role as a specific social technique\, as exemplified in the work of Kelsen. However\, these analyses often neglect various considerations. For example\, the functions of norms extending beyond mere directives in the realization of ends through the law\, the role of bodies interpreting and applying the law\, or the involvement of legal actors in strategic litigation to advance these ends.  \;
Now this debate assumes a new dimension with the questions raised by numerous contemporary legal tools or innovations. Instruments such as nudges\, symbolic or communicative legislation\, visual law\, or possibilities allowed by technological developments\, such as the use of artificial intelligence in regulation\, or the use of collective intelligence in the production of law\, represent just a few of the recent additions to the legal sphere. This workshop aims to advance the theoretical and practical understanding of the instrumental dimension of law\, particularly as it relates to these legal tools.
Conceptual\, normative\, and practical approaches (e.g. study of cases\, jurisprudential analyses\, or studies legal officials&rsquo\; behavior) are welcome. Submissions are invited to explore\, but are not limited to\, the following questions: \;
1. To what extent do current practices for achieving ends through law align with theoretical frameworks regarding the instrumental role of law? \;
2. In what ways do possibilities afforded by technological developments\, such as the use of artificial intelligence in regulation\, impact the conceptualization of the instrumental dimension of law? \;
3. What role do innovative legal tools play in shaping the effectiveness of law in achieving specific ends\, and how can their potential be harnessed for optimal outcomes? \;
4. To what extent does the incorporation of collective intelligence in the production of law influence the dynamics of legal decision-making and the attainment of ends within the legal system? \;
5. How do the potential risks associated with the utilization of new legal tools (such as nudge\, symbolic law or algorithmic regulation) interact with the potential benefits for the rule of law and democracy\, and what strategies can be employed to maximize the positive impacts while mitigating the potential negative consequences within legal frameworks? \;
 \; Participants can send their abstracts (under 500 words) to the convenors by March 31st\, 2024.

\n\nLa rivista semestrale &ldquo\;P.O.I. &ndash\; Points of Interest&rdquo\; invita a contribuire al numero I/2024 della rivista\, sviluppandoiltemainoggettoinconformità\;aiterminidiseguitoindicatieapartiredalleriflessioniqui proposte.
\nL&rsquo\;11 marzo 2024 cadrà\; il centesimo anniversario della nascita di Franco Basaglia\, neuropsichiatra veneziano il cui lavoro ha ispirato la legge 180 (&ldquo\;Legge Basaglia&rdquo\;)\, che quarantacinque anni fa disciplinò\; la chiusura dei manicomi in Italia. Questa potrebbe essere l&rsquo\;occasione per ripensare il dibattito di quella stagione\, in una chiave non agiografica. Si tratta di domandarsi se le psichiatrie &ldquo\;alternative&rdquo\; o &ldquo\;umanistiche&rdquo\; (o addirittura le &ldquo\;anti-psichiatrie&rdquo\;) di quel periodo fossero una generosa illusione priva di fondamenti scientifici o l&rsquo\;inizio di un nuovo campo di indagine su tutta la dimensione della &ldquo\;cura&rdquo\; e della gestione dei disagi sociali e personali\, che andrebbe proseguito. Ancora\, gli psichiatri &ldquo\;alternativi&rdquo\; di quel periodo erano intrisi di filosofia\, da Jaspers a Binswanger\, dall&rsquo\;esistenzialismo francese alla fenomenologia. Del resto\, il Foucault de La storia della follia fu uno dei punti di riferimento della critica delle istituzioni manicomiali. Quell&rsquo\;esperienza fu il banco di prova dei limiti di questi approcci &ldquo\;umanistici&rdquo\;\, un loro ultimo canto prima del trionfo delle neuroscienze? O fu piuttosto una manifestazione di come la filosofia può\; fornire strumenti di critica e di soggettivazione\, come poi sarà\; anche con il femminismo e con i movimenti in favore dei diritti di genere? Si tratta\, dunque\, di ridiscutere l&rsquo\;esperienza basagliana in un campo più\; ampio di esperienze psichiatriche e psicoterapeutiche che presero il via in quel periodo\, di indagarne le radici filosofiche e politiche\, di comprenderne le ragioni di progressivo esaurimento ma anche ciò\; che resta di quella singolare esperienza politico-istituzionale italiana.
\nTra \;le \;possibili \;tematiche \;che \;tale \;numero \;intende \;accogliere:
\n\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Le figure della psichiatria alternativa tra Italia\, Europa e USA: un dibattito a più\; voci?  \;

\nThe six-month journal &ldquo\;P.O.I. &ndash\; Points of Interest&rdquo\; invites you to contribute to the issue I/2024\, developing the theme presented according to the following terms\, and considering the reflections proposed here as a starting point. \;
\nMarch 11\, 2024\, will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Franco Basaglia\, a Venetian neuropsychiatrist whose work has inspired the law 180 (&lsquo\;Basaglia Law&rsquo\;)\, which forty-five years ago determined the closure of asylums in Italy. This could be the chance to rethink that season&rsquo\;s debate\, in a non-hagiographic key. It is about asking whether &lsquo\;alternative&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;humanistic psychiatries&rsquo\; (or even &lsquo\;anti-psychiatries&rsquo\;) of that period were a generous illusion lacking scientific foundations\, or the beginning of a new field of inquiry into the whole dimension of "care" and management of social and personal distress. Debate that should be continued. Besides\, the alternative psychiatrists of that period were steeped in philosophy\, from Jaspers to Binswanger\, from the French existentialism to phenomenology. Indeed\, the Foucault of History of Madness&rsquo\;s was one the reference points of the asylum institutions. Was that experience a test to prove the limits of these &lsquo\;humanistic&rsquo\; approaches\, their last chant before neurosciences triumph? Or was it rather a manifestation of how philosophy can provide tools for critique and subjectification\, as it will later happen with feminism and movements supporting gender rights? It is\, therefore\, about re-discussing the Basaglia experience in a wider field of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic experiences launched in that period\, about investigating theirs philosophical and political roots\, and about understanding the reasons of a progressive exhaustion yet also what remains of that peculiar Italian political-institutional experience.
\n\nAmong the possible themes that this issue aims to accommodate:
\n\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The figures of alternative psychiatry between Italy\, Europe and USA: a multiple voices debate?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The inspirational profiles of the Italian anti-psychiatry (for ex. Jaspers and Binswanger) and the weight of the latter within the Italian Thought
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Critique of the clinic\, the total institutions and the history of madness: Foucault and his legacy
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Does it still exist a thought in /about psychiatry? The epistemological and philosophical debate on mental distress in the era of DSM
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The &ldquo\;others&rdquo\; then and the &ldquo\;others&rdquo\; now between stigmatization and subjectivation
\nFor submitting papers\, please note the following terms and conditions.
\nThe response to this CFP must be preceded by the submission of an abstract\, which will be submitted to prior evaluation by the editorial staff\, on the basis of its relevance to the theme\, as it has been listed in the Call.

\nNotification of acceptance: 6 April 2024
\nThis workshop highlights \;the subject of women and epistemic emotions &ndash\; emotions which either aid us in knowing or are themselves instances of knowledge &ndash\; in the early modern period. Paradigm examples of epistemic emotions include doubt and curiosity\, though other emotions such as love or fear may also play important epistemic roles. \;Thus\, an epistemic emotion is one that plays a causal role in driving our efforts to know something\, or in the critical reflection and revision of what it is that we know.
\nThough the ongoing recovery and reintegration project is robustly underway\, early modern women and epistemic emotions have been largely overlooked. This workshop is an effort to create and disseminate new knowledge and interpretive tools. As such\, we intend to publish revised versions of the papers presented at this workshop in an edited volume. \;
\nThe workshop features two keynote speakers &ndash\; Martina Reuter (Jyvä\;skylä\;) and Lisa Shapiro (McGill) &ndash\; and invited papers from Marcy Lascano (KU)\, Anik Waldow (Sydney)\, Getty Lustila (Northeastern)\, Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Emory)\, Allauren Samantha Forbes (McMaster)\, Elena Gordon (McGill-Jyvä\;skylä\;)\, and Manuel Vasquez Villavicencio (McMaster). \;
\nWe have held four speaking slots open and so are inviting submissions of anonymized abstracts \;between 500-750 words. \;We are especially interested in receiving abstracts from \;early-career or emerging scholars \;(e.g.\, advanced PhD students\, CLAs/Adjuncts\, Assistant Professors) and \;contributions which highlight women philosophers&rsquo\; &ldquo\;non-traditional&rdquo\; philosophical texts \;&ndash\; e.g.\, letters\, plays\, and novels. Please also include a coversheet with name\, position\, paper title\, and affiliation. Submissions should be sent as pdf files to Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca. Receipt of submission will be confirmed by email\; notification of acceptance will go out by 6 April 2024.
\n \;We will be able to offer some financial support to these four speakers: we will cover their 3-night hotel stay and will be able to offer a small stipend toward their travel expenses. We will also be providing a mentoring luncheon which pairs early-career and established scholar speakers. As such\, drafts of the full paper to be included in the edited volume emerging from this conference will be due to the organizers for distribution to the mentors by 25 September 2024. We will also host a conference dinner for all speakers on 26 October 2024. \;
\nWhile our venues are accessible and we can accommodate dietary needs\, please contact Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca \;with any specific questions on these matters.

\nIdeas\, multifaceted in nature\, embody thoughts\, beliefs\, and abstract representations of concepts or entities. Their manifestation and propagation occur through diverse techniques across various media. This special issue aims to delve deep into the intricate relationship between ideas and their portrayal within popular culture.
\nPopular culture is not just a repository of ideas but actively shapes and influences them. It is fascinating to observe how ideas\, when embedded in popular culture\, can undergo shifts in their intended meanings or even manifest as potential hazards. With its nuanced complexities\, the intricate dance between popular culture and ideas warrants thorough examination and comprehension.
\nHistorically rich with ideas&mdash\;art and aesthetics serve as mediums for promotion\, critique\, and discussion. Popular culture has emerged as a potent medium for articulating ideas in our contemporary landscape. The nexus between aesthetics and ideas within pop culture has never been more salient\, prompting more research into this particular issue to explore these interrelationships in our current milieu.
\nSuggested Topics Include (but are not limited to):
\n- The role of popular culture in amplifying ideas.
\n- Popular culture&rsquo\;s influence in public service announcements: Advocating positive concepts.
\n- The presence of propaganda within popular culture.
\n- The intersection of religious ideas and popular culture: How religious movements harness pop culture for recruitment.
\n- Utilizing popular culture as a soft power mechanism to advance cultural and political ideologies.
\n- The portrayal of utopia within popular culture.
\n- Popular culture&rsquo\;s reflection on societal gender roles.
\n- Narratives of war as presented in popular culture.
\nAuthor Guidelines:
\nWe ask Authors to read our guidelines posted under the tab For Authors and to double-check the completeness of each submission (please remember to submit the abstract\, keywords\, bibliography\, and a biographical note about the author collectively) before submitting.

\nConsiderations about welfare\, the value of welfare\, its distribution\, or welfare-based claims and complaints are central to moral philosophy. They are of particular concern for all philosophers who take welfare to be (at least) one source for normative reasons. Evaluative and deontic considerations about welfare provide an array of fascinating philosophical questions.
\nIt is (quite) uncontroversial that welfare has moral value and provides moral reasons\; but it is highly contested how in particular. We ought not to harm people\, but do we also ought to benefit them? Does this include future people &ndash\; even if their existence depends on our actions? And can we aggregate people&rsquo\;s welfare\, or should we limit the trade-offs between their harms and benefits?
\nOur account of welfare has implications for ethics\; but do ethical considerations also provide reasons to adopt one or another theory of welfare? What is the interaction between theories of welfare and the ethics of welfare? \;
\nSome lives are better and some are worse\; but what constitutes their prudential value? Are well-being and ill-being analogous or do they differ in structure and relevance &ndash\; and what do particular theories imply? What are the relevant underlying concepts of desire\, pleasure\, friendship\, or other objective goods on which welfare may depend?
\nThis workshop provides a forum for the discussion of those and related questions. It aims at rallying scholars of philosophy to expand our understanding in these issues\, and we hope to promote the philosophical engagement with ethics\, welfare\, and how they interact.
\n\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe are inviting submissions for talks\, which should be between 20 and 30 minutes in length. We are particularly interested in current or future research projects\, and especially welcome submissions from philosophers in an early stage of their academic career and from underrepresented groups in academic philosophy. To propose a talk\, please send an abstract of approximately 500 words as a PDF attachment to workshoponwelfare@gmail.com. The abstract should be suitable for blind review\, i.e. it should not contain any information that may identify you as the author. The deadline for submission is March 31st\, 2024. We aim to notify you about the acceptance of your paper by April 15th\, 2024. Please make sure that the email to which the abstract is attached contains your name\, institutional affiliation\, and the title of the paper.

Feminist\, Trans\, and Queer Perspectives’ UID:20240329T124751Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/Dublin LOCATION:Cork\, Ireland DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many efforts have been placed to develop new educational paths to prepare medical\, nursing\, and midwifery students to deliver quality care to intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people. However\, recent studies have shown that healthcare institutions and education programmes do not adequately prepare prospective healthcare professionals to support the needs of intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people. Moreover\, most of the attempts to deliver gender affirmative education revolve around the development of modules focused on person-centered care. While these efforts are commendable and necessary\, studies have highlighted the need to endow students with a critical perspective that takes into account the systematic oppression to which intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people are exposed.
\nThis conference aims to encourage the creation of an interdisciplinary network\, both within and beyond Ireland\, that can support healthcare professionals in engaging with the conceptual and critical aspects of gender diversity in healthcare settings. To accomplish this\, the conference aims to bridge the gap between research carried out in feminist\, trans\, and queer studies and the delivery of a practice-focused and person-centered perspective that characterizes healthcare education. The acquisition of a conceptual and critical understanding of the phenomena surrounding gender expansiveness is of crucial importance to enable healthcare professionals and scholars to deliver educational content\, adjust practices\, and promote research that can create a fairer and more sustainable healthcare environment. The conference will serve as an initial stride towards reevaluating the strategies employed by educators and preceptors in addressing the inclusion of intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse peoplewithin the healthcare system.

\nRationale for the Conference \;
\nTechnological innovation and change have been a perennial component of human life since its inception. In many ways\, technology is one of the defining features of any society in history. Innovations like the printing press\, penicillin\, and the internal combustion engine forever altered the communities where they emerged. It is possible to say that these technological innovations destroyed one world and created a new one in its place. \;
\nWe are living through an age of radical change and evolution via the emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. These technologies are very new\, and in many ways the implications and consequences of these new systems are nebulous and unclear. Of course\, we as human beings have some say in how AI comes into our world. How should machine learning systems be used in our society? Are there responsible and irresponsible uses of this technology? How should make these sorts of decisions? What implications do these systems have for our very understanding of the universe? What kind of knowledge can we use the machine to pursue? Are there limits to what we can learn from or with these devices? \;
\nThis conference aims to bring together top scholars from philosophy\, the humanities\, and the sciences for an interdisciplinary discussion that focuses on the epistemological and ethical dimensions of AI. Speakers will cover foundational questions related to uses of machine learning and immerging technologies as well as how these more basic questions relate to specific fields\, topics\, or policy debates. The philosophy department\, in conjunction with a number of other departments\, to provide two days of invited speakers and immerging scholars from philosophy\, data science\, and the broader humanities. \;

First\, extremists\, conspiracy theorists\, fundamentalists\, terrorists\, and fanatics. Second\, academics studying extremism\, conspiracy theory\, fundamentalism\, and related phenomena. Third\, practitioners\, such as those working in de-radicalization programs\, counter-terrorism measures\, and resilience efforts. How do these different perspectives relate to one another and how do or should they interact with each other?  \;What does it mean to consider the &lsquo\;subjectivity&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;perspectives&rsquo\; of extremists\, conspiracy theorists\, fundamentalists\, fanatics\, or other sorts of &lsquo\;extreme&rsquo\; believers? Why\, if at all\, should it be done? &lsquo\;Subjectivity&rsquo\; is a widely used but poorly understood notion in the interdisciplinary literature\, so this conference aims to get a firmer grip on it. Relevant questions include:

Adams St.\, Chicago\, United States\, 60661 DESCRIPTION:Protests of the police are nothing new in the US. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries\, incidents of police brutality mobilized resistance\, especially in marginalized communities that bear the brunt of policing&rsquo\;s harms. Protests then and now highlight policing at odds with basic values of justice\, equity\, respect\, and harm reduction. Given history and recent events\, is just policing that reflects these values possible? What public safety strategies\, whether they involve the police or not\, gives us the best chance to promote these values?
\n&ldquo\;Policing and Our Values&rdquo\; presented by the Policing\, Policy\, and Philosophy Initiative (3PI) brings together community leaders\, public officials\, lawyers\, and scholars to explore these questions. The symposium on April 4 focuses on how our values and ethical commitments should inform two areas of policy: police deadly force and public safety strategies that complement and in some cases are alternatives to the police.
\nThe symposium is co-sponsored by the Chicago-Kent College of Law\, American Philosophical Association\, and Penn State Rock Ethics Institute. It is open to the public\, but registration is required. A complimentary lunch will be provided to attendees. This symposium is eligible for free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit for those who register. Registrants will also have free access to a recording of the symposium.
\n3PI encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions\, please contact Ben Jones at btj7@psu.edu or call 814-863-0314 at least one week prior to the start of the program to allow sufficient time to effectively meet your access needs.
\nAbout 3PI: The Policing\, Policy\, and Philosophy Initiative (3PI) launched in 2023 with support from the American Philosophical Association and Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State. It aims to foster collaboration among philosophers and ethicists who study policing\, with the goal of connecting their work to ongoing policy debates. To learn more\, visit https://3pi.la.psu.edu/

While religion is often seen as antagonistic to environmental concerns\, there is a rich history of religion&rsquo\;s engagement with nature\, our use of resources\, and human responsibility of stewardship and care for the environment. From Judeo/Christian scriptural traditions in Genesis\, Psalms\, Luke\, and Romans to Hindu scriptural traditions in the Yajurveda\, many religions embed care for creation in its religious laws. Furthermore\, religious figures such as John Calvin\, while anthropocentric in his thinking\, also endorsed human responsibility toward the environment. As recently as the 1970&rsquo\;s The National Council of Churches and the National Association of Evangelicals called for environmental conservation. Now\, however\, the environment has been weaponized and politicized in ways that muddy the waters which seemed so clear to many throughout history. To what extent do religious aims and environmental concerns become at odds or align? Is there common ground from which people of differing religious views can discuss these matters? Must we choose between progress and the environment or is there a path forward that preserves both our way of life as a species and the world we inhabit? In light of questions like these\, Weatherford College is again pleased to host the 6th annual Philosophy of Religion Conference on the theme &ldquo\;Philosophy of Religion and the Environment\,&rdquo\; on April 5-6\, 2024.

In the issue\, in particular\, we aim to engage with the following questions (which\, however\, are only exemplary):
\n1) What is axiological and ethical pluralism? What is axiological and ethical relativism? How do these two positions relate to each other? \; \; 2) What are epistemological\, methodological\, or other justifications for pluralist and relativist positions? 3)Practical applications of axiology and theoretical ethics vs. pluralism and relativism. 4)Which values are currently undergoing transformation and to what extent? How should we understand the nature of such transformations? Do such transformations occur in values themselves or only for us? \; 5) Are all value transformations stimulated by practical challenges? Are value transformations a normal phenomenon or are they symptomatic of an aberration or a crisis? \; 6) How do such transformations relate to classical positions in axiology? \; 7) Can we still speak of the universalism of values (in the context of cultural-civilisational pluralism)?8) Can we still speak of value optimism today?
\nWe welcome papers (in English or German) offering systematic approaches to such questions as well as papers discussing approaches already developed in Philosophy\, Cultural Studies\, Sociology\, and so forth.
\nThe publication is open to researchers and PhD students. Please send your abstract to leszek.kopciuch@mail.umcs.pl by 5 April 2024. The abstract should not exceed 600 words.

\nSeminario annuale - Edizione 2023/2024
\n\n\nProspettive estetiche ed ermeneutiche
\n\nUniversità\; di Torino\, 4-5 giugno 2024
\n\nIl problema della forma è\; al centro degli interessi della filosofia sin dalle sue origini. La nozione di forma si sviluppa a partire da una serie di contrapposizioni - forma e materia\, forma e contenuto\, forma e sostanza - e intreccia la sua storia con numerosi altri vocaboli fondamentali del lessico filosofico: la forma è\; a seconda dei casi «\;essenza»\;\, «\;schema»\;\, «\;categoria»\;\, «\;figura»\;\, e assume la funzione di ciò\; che unifica il molteplice\, dello sfondo universale che costituisce il terreno comune per accomunare gli elementi particolari\, ma anche della struttura permanente che sopravvive alle modificazioni della materia.
\nV'è\; una prima nozione di forma\, e di formale\, sviluppata in particolare da Kant\, che indica la dimensione che precede ogni esperienza e ogni contenuto particolare\, ed è\; quindi propriamente universale\; è\; solo su questo terreno che può\; svolgersi la matematica\, con la sua pretesa di validità\; universale. L&rsquo\;universale formale ha anche una struttura relazionale: esso nasce con una presa di distanza originaria dall&rsquo\;esperienza in generale\, e si attua di volta in volta nelle prese di distanza concrete che realizziamo. Questa presa di distanza non annulla la concretezza: la sospende nella sua immediatezza\, nella sua pressione vitale\, e così\; le permette di trasporsi su questo nuovo piano in cui può\; coesistere con altri. Così\; l&rsquo\;universale formale sia nel suo originarsi che nel suo attuarsi resta in relazione con la concretezza. La riflessione su questa dimensione universale è\; resa particolarmente opportuna dalla condizione di pluralismo culturale che caratterizza il mondo di oggi.
\nGià\; nel pensiero antico il concetto di forma ha uno statuto molto complesso e variegato. La forma non è\; solo un'astrazione\, ma è\; ciò\; che anima il vivente\, ciò\; che vi è\; di più\; proprio al cuore di ogni cosa. La forma dell'oggetto è\; il suo destino\, il suo fine\, ciò\; che gli dà\; senso e che definisce le condizioni della sua possibilità\;\, del suo nascere e del suo perire.
\nTra il XVIII e il XIX secolo il pensiero moderno - in particolare tedesco - raccoglie con grande sensibilità\; questa ricchezza della nozione di forma\, in quel momento cruciale che segna la nascita dell'estetica come noi la intendiamo ancora oggi\, e dunque dell'idea moderna di arte\, ma anche delle scienze naturali come la biologia\, la botanica\, la zoologia e l'antropologia. Il concetto di forma diventa la nozione che permette di tenere insieme natura e cultura\, vita e tecnica\, nascita e creazione.
\nIn questo contesto la nozione di forma si fa plastica\, dinamica: pensare il mondo significa pensare la vita delle forme\, il loro mutare\, svilupparsi\, interagire nei meravigliosi quanto misteriosi processi della natura\, come anche nelle idee degli artisti e degli artigiani. Le forme - naturali\, artificiali\, simboliche - hanno una storia: per questo esse vanno ricostruite\, interpretate\, mostrate nel contesto della loro genesi e del loro sviluppo. D'altra parte\, l'interpretazione stessa si vincola alle forme su cui si applica: le forme strutturano i nostri modi di intendere\, comprendere e agire\, offrendosi come nello stesso tempo come condizione e posta in gioco dell'interpretazione. Mettendo in relazione forma e interpretazione\, inoltre\, quest'ultima si emancipa dal terreno linguistico e testuale alla quale in genere è\; ricondotta\, aprendosi ad altri fondamentali ambiti della vita\, quali la dimensione dell'immagine\, della materia\, della natura e della tecnica.
\nIl mondo contemporaneo è\; un dilagare di forme che si sovrappongono\, si scontrano\, entrano in relazione e si trasformano: in questo contesto così\; caotico\, l'ermeneutica possiede gli strumenti per mostrare la pregnanza della dimensione formale\, e produrre un'analisi critica che riguarda non solo i discorsi\, ma anche gli oggetti\, le pratiche\, i saperi\, le configurazioni simboliche della nostra epoca.
\nL&rsquo\;edizione 2023/2024 del seminario internazionale del Centro Studi Filosofico-religiosi &ldquo\;Luigi Pareyson&rdquo\; sarà\; dedicato dunque al rapporto tra forma e interpretazione. Al centro del dibattito\, ovviamente\, verrà\; posta la nozione di &ldquo\;formatività\;&rdquo\;\, concetto centrale nel pensiero di Luigi Pareyson e dell&rsquo\;estetica del &lsquo\;900.

\nAnnual Seminar - 2023/2024
\n \;
\n\nAesthetic and Hermeneutic Perspectives
\n\nUniversity of Turin\, 4-5 June 2024
\n\nThe problem of form has been central to the interests of philosophy since its origins. The notion of form developed from a series of oppositions - form and matter\, form and content\, form and substance - and intertwined its history with numerous other fundamental words in the philosophical lexicon: form is\, depending on the case\, "essence"\, "scheme"\, "category"\, "figure"\, and assumes the function of that which unifies the multiple\, of the universal background that constitutes the common ground for uniting particular elements\, but also of the permanent structure that survives the modifications of matter.
\n\nThere is a first notion of form\, and of formal\, developed in particular by Kant\, which indicates the dimension that precedes all experience and all particular content\, and is therefore properly universal\; it is only in this domain that mathematics\, with its claim to universal validity\, can take place. The formal universal also has a relational structure: it is born with an original taking of distance from experience in general\, and is realised from time to time in the concrete taking of distance that we realise. This taking of distance does not erase concreteness: it suspends it in its immediacy\, in its vital pressure\, and thus allows it to transpose itself onto this new plane in which it can coexist with others. Thus the formal universal both in its origin and in its realisation remains in relation to concreteness. Reflection on this universal dimension is made particularly opportune by the condition of cultural pluralism that characterises today's world.
\n\nAlready in ancient thought\, the concept of form has a complex and varied status. Form is not just an abstraction\, but is what animates the living\, what is at the very heart of everything. The form of the object is its destiny\, its end\, what gives it meaning and defines the conditions of its possibility\, its birth and its perishing.
\n\nBetween the 18th and 19th centuries\, modern thought - particularly German - took up this richness of the notion of form with great sensitivity\, at that crucial moment that marked the birth of aesthetics as we still understand it today\, and thus of the modern idea of art\, but also of the natural sciences such as biology\, botany\, zoology and anthropology. The notion of form becomes the notion that holds nature and culture\, life and technology\, birth and creation together.
\n\nIn this context\, the notion of form becomes plastic\, dynamic: thinking the world means thinking the life of forms\, their changing\, developing\, interacting in the marvellous and mysterious processes of nature\, as well as in the ideas of artists and craftsmen. Forms - natural\, artificial\, symbolic - have a history: that is why they must be reconstructed\, interpreted\, shown in the context of their genesis and development. On the other hand\, interpretation itself is bound to the forms on which it is applied: forms structure our ways of understanding\, comprehending and acting\, offering themselves as both the condition and the stake of interpretation. By linking form and interpretation\, moreover\, the latter emancipates itself from the linguistic and textual domain to which it is generally led\, opening up to other fundamental spheres of life\, such as the dimension of image\, matter\, nature and technology.
\n\nThe contemporary world is a deluge of forms that overlap\, collide\, relate and transform: in this chaotic context\, hermeneutics possesses the tools to show the poignancy of the formal dimension\, and to produce a critical analysis that concerns not only discourses\, but also the objects\, practices\, knowledge\, and symbolic configurations of our era.
\n\nThe 2023/2024 edition of the international seminar of the "Luigi Pareyson" Centre for Philosophical-Religious Studies will therefore be dedicated to the relationship between form and interpretation. At the centre of the debate\, of course\, will be the notion of "formativity"\, a central concept in the thought of Luigi Pareyson and 20th century aesthetics.

Nonetheless\, it retained a parochial and myopic focus on the United States of America and the United Kingdom\, with sporadic excursions to Australia and Canada. The second edition of The European Face of Political Epistemology conference\, after the first has become an edited book\, seeks to assemble novel and progressive European thinkers about political epistemology.
\nOur topics of interest comprise political communicational methods\, political knowledge and ignorance\, multi-partisan politics\, political expertise and the role of topical experts in the political domain\, politicised epistemic injustice\, and non-ideal epistemology. European political phenomena must be sternly analysed\, evaluated\, and affixed with a tentative feasible solution. Our conference strives to be a locus of such analysis.

\n&bull\; Miranda Fricker (NYU)
\n&bull\; Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
\n&bull\; Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University)

\nThe conference is organized by the Croatian Philosophical Society and the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Split\, Croatia. It will be held from April 11 to 13\, 2024 in Split\, Croatia. \;
\nThis year marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Marko Marulić\, the father of Croatian literature\, a humanist writer praised for his philosophically stimulating works. Because of that\, we decided to dedicate this year's conference to Mediterranean humanism. The conference is open to submissions related to Humanism and Renaissance philosophy\, not necessarily directly related to the work of Marko Marulić.
\nIn addition to that special\, this year's theme\, the symposium is also open to two permanent topics: philosophy in the Mediterranean and globalisation challenges and multiculturalism in the Mediterranean region.
\nAccording to that\, the symposium program will be divided into the following thematic units:
\nInterdisciplinary research is welcomed. \;
\nLanguages of the conference
\nThe working languages of the conference are Croatian (and related South Slavic languages) and English.
\nConference structure
\nAll thematic units are interdisciplinary. Individual panels will be organized according to the principle of thematic or methodological affinity.
\nThe conference part of the symposium will take place on April 11 and 12. On April 13\, we will organize an optional tour of the city of Split\, with special emphasis on its Renaissance history and Humanism. \;
\nVenue of the conference
\nThe conference takes place at the University of Split\, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences\,
\n \;Poljička cesta 25\, 21 000 Split.
\nRegistration fee
\nThe registration fee for participation in the symposium is 50 euros.
\nThe registration fee covers:
\nOptional city tour (April 13)
\nFor participants who stay in Split after the conference\, on April 13 we organize an expert\, optional tour of Diocletian's Palace and the wider city center with special emphasis on its Humanist and Renaissance history.
\nAccommodation

\nThe conference\, &ldquo\;Philosophies of Nostalgia\,&rdquo\; poses the following research core question: What can philosophy tell us about nostalgia? \;While nostalgia has become a topical issue within both society and scientific research\, philosophy has tended to remain rather mute on the phenomena. \;The event proceeds from the hypothesis that philosophy can shed light on the structure and experience of nostalgia by asking questions such as: What\, if any\, are the invariant structures that define nostalgia? To what extent is nostalgia conceptually and experientially separable from homesickness? What role does nostalgia play in generating and impeding health and illness? And to what extent does the current model of nostalgia accurately shed light on the actual experience of nostalgia? \;

\nFirst Idealism Summit
\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, USA. April 12-13\, 2024.
\nThe First Idealism Summit will take place in Chapel Hill\, NC on April 12-13\, 2024. It is intended as a gathering for those who work on contemporary versions of idealism\, to present their work\, exchange ideas\, make connections\, and discuss idealism. This Call for Abstracts invites submissions of abstracts of papers to be presented at the Summit. Abstracts should not exceed 1000 words\, and should be emailed to \;idealismsummit@gmail.com \;They can be attached as pdf or docx document\, or they can be included in the body of the message. The deadline for submitting abstracts is \;January 15\, 2024. \;Notifications of acceptances will be sent out as soon as possible afterwards. A keynote address will be given by \;Michael Pelczar \;of the National University of Singapore. \;
\nTopics of suitable papers include any discussions of issues tied to contemporary idealism. These include\, but are not limited to arguments for or against particular forms of idealism\, critical discussions of contemporary versions of idealism\, presentations of new forms of idealism\, new applications of idealism\, and so on. It should be stressed that arguments against idealism are just as suitable to be presented as arguments in favor of idealism. Each speaker will have roughly 40 minutes to present their work\, followed by an extended discussion period.
\nIn much of the contemporary philosophical scene idealism is dealt with as a position that is mostly of historical interest\, and thus most of the work on idealism these days is focused on the study of historically significant idealists\, like Berkeley\, Kant\, Hegel\, and many others. The focus of the Idealism Summit is not on the work of historical figures\, but on the consideration of idealism as a topic in contemporary metaphysics\, the philosophy of mind\, ethics\, the philosophy of language\, and so on. Thus papers that are primarily scholarship on historical figures are not ideally suited for this conference\, although views or arguments inspired by historical figures are most welcome. \;
\nThe author of each accepted abstract will be hosted at a local hotel during the conference\, and they will be a guest at two conference dinners. However\, the budget does not allow for paying travel cost as well. Still\, this arrangement will hopefully make it financially possible for many philosophers to present their work. More information about this conference\, abstract submission\, and other ways to participate besides being a speaker can be found on the web site of the Idealism Network: \;idealismus.net \;For any questions\, please contact Thomas Hofweber at \;hofweber@unc.edu

\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Legal Studies &\; Business Ethics (LGST) and the Wharton Coalition for Equity and Opportunity (CEO)\, the workshop aims to foster in-progress scholarship and connect an interdisciplinary community of scholars working on legal and ethical issues related to equity and opportunity in business.
\nOver the past several decades\, there has been growing business interest in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives\; ways to address persistent societal gaps in wealth\, access to financial services\, and healthcare\; and efforts to mitigate or remediate technology-induced discrimination and inequality. Yet the future of some of these efforts is uncertain. Recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings\, challenges to civil rights laws that currently structure private sector actions\, and political attacks on businesses engaged in such efforts have made scholarship in this field even more important. \;
\nThe workshop will focus on future directions for equity and opportunity against this backdrop. Each accepted paper will be assigned a discussant\, who will provide feedback and lead a discussion among the author and other workshop participants.

Attempting to clarify the nature of this interaction often gives rise to complicated philosophical systems because the problem extends across at least three philosophical axes simultaneously: metaphysical\, epistemological\, and ethical. This conference will address some of these issues from an explicitly historical perspective\, especially that of the early-modern and modern periods.

In collaboration with the Collegium Institute for Catholic Thought &\; Culture\, we have organized a number of events and conferences that have promoted research on various aspects of Anscombe&rsquo\;s thought.
\nFor this year's conference\, we will be exploring the contemporary significance of Anscombe's writings on the topic of Justice. These writings span the course of her career and address many of her major philosophical concerns\, such as the nature of moral obligation\, the recovery of virtue ethics\, the concept of murder and just war\, the dignity of human life\, and the sources of normativity.
