\;To learn more about the GSA\, please visit:
Early modern philosophers liked to debate about Aristotle just as much as medieval scholars. They had different sources to fuel their discussions: from the humanist preoccupation with a pristine Aristotle and a purification of a corpus perceived as corrupted to the very medieval doctors that others sought to forget. This conference aims at reconstructing the various ways in which Aristotle's natural philosophical books were read and used to nourish various philosophical agendas. \;

In recent years\, there has been a revival of interest in the main
representatives of the so-called ordinary language tradition in 20th
century analytic philosophy. The overall aim of the conference is to
contribute to this revival of interest\, by considering how the works of
thinkers in this tradition might be still be relevant\, and how careful
investigations of ordinary language use can matter to issues at the top
of today's philosophical agenda. In this connection\, it will be
important to take into account the many differences in philosophical
outlook and methodology that exist between philosophers such as
Wittgenstein\, Austin\, Ryle\, Strawson and so on. The question of how deep
these differences go\, and\, indeed\, whether we can talk of an ordinary
language "tradition" here at all\, should lead us to consider the
character of the contemporary revival mentioned above. To what extent
can this revival usefully be described as a unified movement motivated
by a common dissatisfaction with more mainstream forms of analytic
philosophy? And to what extent do the differences between the various
contemporary attempts at revival make such a description misleading?

The Emmy Noether research group "Understanding and the A Priori" is hosting an author-meets-critics workshop with David Chalmers to discuss themes from his new book\, "Constructing the World" (Oxford University Press 2012). The book concerns "scrutability\," the thesis that all the truths about the world can\, in principle\, be known on the basis of knowledge of just a limited class of basic truths. Chalmers argues for the scrutability thesis and investigates which sorts of basic truths can serve as the relevant "scrutability base". The book explores the implications of scrutability for a range of central philosophical issues: meaning and mental content\, the existence of the analytic and the a priori\, the refutation of skepticism\, and the methodology of metaphysics\, among others.
\nParticipation in the workshop is open\, but there is a limited number of available spaces\, and email registration is required by April 30\, 2013. There will be a workshop fee of 10 euros\, payable at the workshop. For registration and inquiries\, write to: contact@fromthearmchair.net.

Call for Papers
\n1st International Symposium: \;Speed\, Silence and Solitude
\nPart of the Research Program on: \;Space\, Time and New Technologies of the Self
\n(International Network for Alternative Academia)
\nSaturday 25th to Monday 27th of May\, 2013
\nToronto\, Ontario\, Canada
\nThis trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring how new technologies are re-calibrating our notion of time\, re-configuring our ideas of space and\, as a result\, how they are re-envisioning our understanding of the self and its relation to others.
\nFrom smartphones to tablets\, from Apps to Twitter\, the new technologies and the social media to which they have given rise increasingly occupy our time and mediate our relationships. They encourage us to develop fast friends\, guide us as to locate fast food\, even helps us to find places to practice fast yoga. They keep us ever in the presence of others\, always connected\, ever accessible. We find ourselves amongst those who are rushing to catch up on what they have always already been behind on starting. It is a world in which speed has become the measure of all things\, in which silence is rare\, and in which solitude has at one and the same time become hard to find and difficult to escape. How are these experiences reshaping the way we perceive the world\, see ourselves and relate to others?
\nWe invite colleagues from all disciplines and professions interested in exploring and explaining these issues in a collective\, deliberative and dialogical environment to send presentation proposals that address these general questions or the following themes:
\n1. Speed
\n- How are our conceptions of time being recalibrated?
\n- What has happened to our concept of leisure?
\n- Have we lost the ability to look\, to linger\, to be bored? With what consequences?
\n- How has our new conception of time affected rituals and relationships? What affects has our new conception of time had upon our rituals and relationships?
\n- What are the advantages and disadvantages of the new cult of speed? What are we hurrying up for? What are we hurrying to escape?
\n- What is the impact of the &ldquo\;slow movement&rdquo\;?
\n- We seem in a rush in order to save time. But for what are we saving time? Can time be saved?
\n- What is the relationship between speed and mortality? Do our new notions of time better prepare and equip us to deal with our mortality? Are we attempting to outrace and outwit time?
\n- What are the relationships between acceleration\, efficiency and effectiveness?
\n- Traditional metaphors of time no longer seem adequate. Time no longer seems to be like a river or an ocean. What new metaphors seem apt to capture 21st century notions of time?
\n- How has the new conception of time affected our perception of duration\, anticipation and waiting? What has it done to patience?
\n- What new experiences does speed afford us? What experiences does it undermine?
\n- How do we conceptualize and measure slowness in the 21st century?
\n2. Silence
\n- What is the value of silence?
\n- Is silence any longer a possibility? Is it achievable?
\n- In what ways are the new media changing our experience of silence? Have we lost language-free/sound-free space? Have we wanted to?
\n- How are our understandings and valuing of introspection\, reflection and thought being reconceived in a world filled with sound?
\n- It seems the new media at one and the same time are making it ever harder to find silent moments and ever more difficult to escape. How can these simultaneous yet opposing experiences be explained?
\n- How does hearing differ from listening? Are we witnessing the evolution of listening with the rise of new technologies?
\n- What does silence sound like? Can silence be conceptualized? How can it be captured in words? How is it captured in music?
\n3. Solitude
\n- How does solitude differ from loneliness? How does it differ from boredom?
\n- What are the effects of our new experiences of being &lsquo\;alone together&rsquo\;?
\n- What are the conditions for the possibility of solitude? Can these conditions be met in the 21st century?
\n- What underlies our desire for solitude?
\n- When do we seek solitude? Why do we sometimes fear it?
\n- How is new media encouraging solitude? How is it undermining solitude? How can these opposing effects be explained?
\n- How is our experience of travel and of vacation changing in response to a world always populated with others and other tourists? How much are we willing to pay to experience solitude?
\n- How are our notions of space being reconfigured in a world where there are always others?
\n- In a world always already populated with others\, how are creativity\, imagination and innovation being reconceived?

Unisinos\, 950\, São Leopoldo\, Brazil\, 93022-000 DESCRIPTION:Kierkegaard &ndash\; 200 Years Later: A Commemoration of the Bicentennary of his Birth
\nThe work of SK has not only contributed in a decisive manner to the different areas from which it established itself\, that is\, Philosophy\, Theology and Literature\, but\, more particularly\, it has influenced \;a great number of thinkers of diverse inclinations and tendencies\, such as \;Heidegger\, Adorno\, Wittgenstein\, Hannah Arendt\, Sartre\, Barth e Tillich\, as well as Kafka\, J. L. Borges and Guimarã\;es Rosa. In this sense\, as much for its size as well as for its wealth and scope\, such a work remains one of the most fertile sources of modern thought in its diverse manifestations.
\n\; Thus\, on account of the commemorations linked to the 200 years of Kierkegaard&rsquo\;s birth\, the Post-graduation program at the \; \;Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos &ndash\; (UNISINOS)\, Humanitas Institute of the same institution\, as well as PhD. Alvaro Valls\, leader of the Group of Studies of the Work of Kierkegaard (CNPq)\, have the honour to invite everyone to the following congress: \;Kierkegaard &ndash\; 200 years later &ndash\; A Commemoration of the Bicentennary of his Birth\, which will take place between the \;27-29th of May \;at Unisinos University in Porto Alegre &ndash\; Brazil.

"Being mostly acclaimed throughout the centuries as the champion of Roman oratory and innovator of rhetoric\, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) did not achieve an equally well-established and wide-ranging reputation as a philosophical thinker\, especially with regard to the sphere of political thought. This conference aims to shed a new light on Cicero as political thinker and to foster an appreciation of his thought by bringing into focus some of its main theoretical underpinnings. With a view to this goal\, the conference will address a variety of issues\, including Cicero&rsquo\;s conception of the relationship between contemplative and political life\, possible aspects of analogy with Plato\, Aristotle and the Stoics\, his view on the nature of constitutions\, justice\, virtuous statesmanship and citizenship\, his theory of natural right and modern and contemporary reception of De Republica\, De Legibus and De Officiis."

While long admired as an inspirational and visionary feminist writer\, only recently has Wollstonecraft been rediscovered as an important and innovative philosopher and political theorist in her own right. The papers in this gathering explore Wollstonecraft&rsquo\;s ideas both in relation to other female writers of the period and as providing valuable insights into issues of contemporary political relevance such as the nature of rights and the accommodation of cultural diversity.

Yet assemblage also refers to the forces of \;deterritorialization underlying the structure which enable the formation of \;new connections. In other words\, the Deleuzian assemblage is not only a \;territorial gesture\, framing its own territory\, but also a performative \;practice of carving out new routes of thinking. Most important\, Deleuze and \;Guattari emphasize the epistemological sparks emanating from creative \;interventions in the continual process of territorialization\, \;deterritorialization and reterritorialization of assemblages.
Assemblages are everywhere: human beings\, as centers of indetermination\, \;are assemblages of images\, as Deleuze makes clear when he &ldquo\;assembles&rdquo\; the \;brain with the screen\, the world with film\, as elements of a philosophy of \;time. Even virtual assemblages on digital networks (email\, facebook\, \;twitter) in our quotidian life can be regarded as assemblages. Assemblages \;are also practical and political as well as \;theoretical. In this light\, to \;what extent can Deleuze&rsquo\;s philosophical thinking assist us in canvassing \;various prospective assemblages\, and what is the retrospective assemblage \;between us and Deleuze? Is it possible for us to theorize the new informatics sensibilia by formulating the \;dispositif \;of the horizontal/ \;rhizomatic assemblages? And apart from the superficial/ superfluous \;assemblages\, is it possible to build any vertical yet not arborescent \;assemblages?
Situating this concept in the contemporary world\, we are seeking to form \;transdisciplinary assemblages in order to respond to and have dialogues \;with present predicaments. \;
The working language of the conference is English. For further \;inquiry\, please contact Professor Hanping Chiu\, the organizer\, at \;deleuzeasia@gmail.com\, or the conference website:
Co-hosted by the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) \;and the Institute for Modern &\; Contemporary Culture (IMCC).
The conference is free and open to all. There is no pre-registration and \;attendance on the day will be allocated on a &ldquo\;first-come\, first-served&rdquo\; \;basis.

\n\nThe Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology \;(An Annual Journal)
\nCenter of Phenomenological Studies at Trnava University in Trnava is preparing the first issue of The Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology. The main topic of the issue concerns three areas of phenomenological inquiry: person\, subject\, and organism. These three points seem to be intertwined in various ways. We could see it as a mere question of Husserlian phenomenology of personhood on the one hand\, or as a broader problem which includes epistemological\, ontological or biological approaches.
The great traditional and contemporary themes&mdash\;subjectivity and intersubjectivity\, concept of person\, emotionality and interpersonality\, question of humanity&mdash\;came under the concern of Edmund Husserl\, the founding figure of phenomenology. Many remarkable thinkers have since come out of Husserlian School and thought over these intertwined themes and their mutual relations (a pre-personal comportment in Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, or question of humanity\, of humanism\, of personal agency\, normative nature of animal and human subjects\, etc.). Currently\, phenomenology turns its attention back to its very roots and focuses on the richness of phenomenological analysis in writings of Edmund Husserl. We intend to show that there are inspirational and unexplored questions arising from the thematic field of normativity and generativity&mdash\;particularly with respect to problems of intersubjectivity and interpersonality&mdash\;that relate to various specific and interconnected fields of study (social ontology and political phenomenology\, phenomenology of person and values\, phenomenological aesthetics\, moral and religious experience). \;
The Yearbook is opened also for different phenomenological topics (miscellanea) and book reviews. The paper extent should be not more than 30 norm pages (54.000 characters\, including spaces and footnotes)\, and in the case of the book reviews 5 norm pages. Please\, submit (firstly with the preliminary title of your paper and 200 words abstract) to The Yearbook to May 31\, 2013 via e-mail: \;trajtelova@gmail.com. Final deadline for submission of the complete papers must be made to August 9\, 2013 (by the same e-mail address). The complete paper should include English abstract (200 words)\, 6 keywords\, contact information about author\, and citations and bibliography according to Springer Referencing model (1. Sample page for footnotes (http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/Examples+in-text+referencesfootnotes.pdf?SGWID=0-0-45-642798-p35531443)\, 2. Reference guidelines for bibliographies
(http://www.springer.com/authors?SGWID=0-111-6-793422-print_view). The contributions are published exclusively in English\, French or German language. Every paper must be revised by a native speaker before submission.
The Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology is a peer-reviewed journal including various research areas in phenomenological inquires. The Yearbook is edited by the Center of Phenomenological Studies at Trnava University\, Slovakia. \;

Call For Papers: Slavery and Emancipation \;goo.gl/Ha4Cj \; \;
Wednesday 4th \;September \;&ndash\; Friday 6th September \;2013 \;
\nMANCEPT Workshops in Political Theory (Manchester) \;goo.gl/E58yS
Historically\, the institution of slavery was the focus of a great deal of philosophical research. Aristotle\, Kant\, Hegel\, Mill\, Wollstonecraft\, Bentham\, Locke\, Rousseau\, Paine\, Wilberforce\, Grotius\, Pufendorf\, Nietzsche\, Marx\, and many others\, considered such topics as the definition of slavery\, the rightness or wrongness of slavery\, which sorts of people could or should be enslaved\, and whether (and if so\, when) they should be emancipated.
In recent years\, by contrast\, philosophers have shown little interest in slavery. Yet they have nonetheless produced a plethora of work on related topics\, such as freedom and equality. This is not because slavery is no longer with us\; indeed\, according to some accounts there are more slaves now than at any other time in history. Given that 2013 marks the 175th anniversary of the final emancipation of all enslaved persons in the British Empire\, this seems an appropriate time to renew our philosophical focus on slavery and on those who enslave and are enslaved.
Possible topics to be addressed include\, but are not restricted to:
&mdash\;What is slavery? How is slavery different from other forms of unfreedom/inequality/labour etc? &mdash\;What was mistaken about historical arguments for slavery? &mdash\;How do we best explain the wrongness of slavery? Why were the actions of slave owners\, slave traders\, or those involved in the initial enslavement\, wrong? &mdash\;Do people not involved in slavery have obligations to oppose slavery? &mdash\;Are slaves obliged to resist their own enslavement? &mdash\;Can a person consent to be a slave? &mdash\;What is the relationship between slavery and sexism/racism/ableism/heteronormativity etc? &mdash\;What do slave narratives tell us about the nature or wrongness of slavery or about the rightness of emancipation? &mdash\;What is emancipation? &mdash\;Who can emancipate whom\, when\, and from what? &mdash\;Is emancipation all that is owed to slaves? Does the legacy of slavery and emancipation require further action?
\n
We welcome expressions of interest from graduate students\, from junior researchers\, and from established scholars. If you are interested in participating in this workshop\, please submit\, to both convenors\, an abstract of \;500-1000 \;words (or a complete paper)\, by \;Friday 31st May 2013. We will expect a full version of your paper on Emancipation Day\, \;Thursday 1st August 2013. We hope this will give participants the opportunity to read the papers in advance and to give and receive more detailed feedback during the workshop.

Thematic issue of Philosophia Scientiæ\; 18/2 (June 2014)
\nGuest Editor: \;Oliver Schlaudt (Heidelberg)
\nSubmission deadline: June 1\, 2013
\nNotification Date: September 1\, 2013
\nFinal version due: January 1\, 2014
\nThe &ldquo\;practical turn&rdquo\; in contemporary philosophy of science also produced a rising interest for pragmatism. Pragmatic ideas were found in many philosophical traditions\, among them those dominating the 20th \;century (already in 1976 Bouveresse mentioned pragmatism in Carnap). This new interest relies on a rather open definition of pragmatism\, like Rorty's according to which &ldquo\;pragmatic&rdquo\; means that &ldquo\;the vocabulary of practice is uneliminable&rdquo\;. There are however approaches to science where the vocabulary of practice is not only uneliminable\, but plays a fundamental role. This is the case particularly for authors during the &ldquo\;classical age&rdquo\; of pragmatism around 1900 who today are largely unknown. A German representative of this group is Hugo Dingler (1881-1954) who\, according to Philipp Frank\, was at the time the major figure of conventionalism in Germany\, and who had considerable influence on the young Carnap. Despite this influence\, and despite the reception Dingler's ideas found in Paul Lorenzen's constructivist &ldquo\;Erlangen School&rdquo\; from 1950 on\, today neither philosophers nor historians take notice of Dingler's original approach. One reason for this might be his concessions to National Socialist politics\, which pale\, however\, in comparison to those of a certain Martin Heidegger.
\nIn order to make known his interesting and promising account\, and also in order to measure the international reception of Poincaré\;'s philosophy\, the journal Philosophia Scientiae (http://poincare.univ-nancy2.fr/PhilosophiaScientiae/) is preparing a special issue on "Hugo Dingler and the origins of pragmatism in German philosophy of science"\, whose guest editor will be Oliver Schlaudt (Heidelberg / Nancy).

The location of the Reading \;Party\, Burn House\, is approximately one hour away from St Andrews and offers excellent \;opportunities for hiking\, and many other leisure activities. The theme of the reading party will be \;honor and respect in Kant and Smith. We will examine how Kant and Smith understand respect for the \;law/ respect for general rules\, and explore links between their treatment of respect and their views on \;honor. In doing so we will discuss texts from Smith&rsquo\;s Theory of Moral Sentiments\, Kant&rsquo\;s Second \;Critique\, The Metaphysics of Morals\, and Lectures on Ethics.

\nAbout the Society: NASPH was formed in 2005 in order to further the study of philosophical hermeneutics. While honoring the roots of philosophical hermeneutics in the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer\, NASPH also recognizes that the future of such thinking depends on its engagement with a diverse range of figures and issues. Our intention is to promote dialogical discussions focusing on both the sources of\, and the prospects for\, philosophical hermeneutics.

For the past forty years\, most research on ancient philosophy in the \;English-speaking world has been shaped by the methods and style of \;analytic philosophy. This has sharpened our understanding of key \;doctrines\, highlighted their philosophical relevance\, and made it \;possible for ancient views to bear on current debates. This alliance \;of analytic philosophy and ancient philosophy also raises pressing \;methodological questions. To what extent are we allowed to supplement \;the claims of ancient philosophers with premises and concepts that the \;authors involved would not recognize? How can our understanding of the \;arguments of ancient philosophers profit from the study of \;non-argumentative aspects of their texts\, like the use of myths or the \;dialogic form? How should we deal with texts whose standards of \;argument that are markedly different from our own\, or which seek to \;promote specific forms of life\, rather than establishing a specific \;body of truths? \;
Two slots are available for presentations of 45 minutes from \;early-career scholars\, followed by 30 minutes of discussion. We aim \;to cover some of the travel and accommodation costs. \;
Please submit full papers (max. 15\,000 words) to Alberto Vanzo \;(alberto.vanzo@email.it) by Monday 3 June 2013.

It is an inescapable fact of contemporary life that the idea of a liberal education\, an education that aims primarily at the cultivation of the intellect and sensibility rather than at preparation for a particular vocation\, is widely under attack all over the world. In country after country\, the idea of learning for its own sake is being swept aside\, as institutions of higher education are pressured to devote themselves primarily to preparing students for careers in practical areas. The global membership of the International Society for Intellectual History is in a unique position to illuminate these questions from a genuinely historical and cosmopolitan perspective.
This conference has been made possible thanks to the support of the Department of Philosophy\, the Department of History\, the Humanities Council\, the University Center for Human Values\, the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies\, and the Office of the Dean of the Faculty\, whose sponsorship we gratefully acknowledge.

\nMaurice Merleau-Ponty&rsquo\;s notion of the body-subject has proven to be truly innovative in connecting body\, mind and world. His phenomenological work is an important source of the emerging new paradigm of embedded\, embodied\, enactive\, extended cognition (4EC)
\nThis conference focuses on a particular theme in the expanding field of 4EC\, i.e. intersubjectivity as interaction. \;
\nThe aim is to investigate to what extent and in what sense Merleau-Ponty&rsquo\;s insights of notions such as body\, world\, consciousness and action\, help us with the problem of intersubjectivity.

Since 2003\, Luce Irigaray holds a seminar with researchers doing their PhD on her work. This way\, they have the opportunity to receive personal teaching from Luce Irigaray and to exchange ideas\, methods and experiences between them. The seminar was welcomed by the University of Nottingham during the first three years (see \;Luce Irigaray: Teaching \;edited by Luce Irigaray with Mary Green\, and published by Continuum\, London &\; New York\, 2008)\, by the University of Liverpool the fourth year\, by Queen Mary\, University of London\, the fifth year\, by the Goodenough College of London the sixth year\, by the University of Nottingham the seventh year\, by the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol the eighth year\, and by the University of Bristol the ninth year. The seminar will take place at the University of Bristol in 2013. \;
\nThe framework of the seminar is this: A group of at most fifteen researchers\, doing their PhD on the work of Luce Irigaray\, stay one week on the university campus. The timetable includes a presentation by each researcher of the aspect of their PhD which most focuses on the work of Luce Irigaray\, the discussion of this presentation by the group\, the comments of Luce Irigaray herself and her answers to the questions asked by each one\, and also sessions devoted to an explanation of some key-words or key-thoughts chosen by the participants. Personal meetings with Luce Irigaray are organized on the last day. The participants pay for their travel\, but receive\, at least in part\, hospitality from the university. The language of the seminar is English. \; The participants in the seminar come from different regions of the world\, they belong to different cultures\, traditions and fields of research &ndash\; Philosophy\, Gender Studies\, Religious Studies\, Literature\, Arts\, Critical and Cultural Studies\, etc. The themes of their research include\, for example: the treatment of personal or cultural traumatic experience\; the resources that various arts can offer for dwelling in oneself and with the other(s)\; the maternal order and feminine genealogy\; the interpretation and embodiment of the divine today\; the contribution of sexuate difference to personal and social development\; new perspectives in philosophy etc. In each of these fields\, diverse domains\, approaches and methods are represented. To date\, the participants came from Australia\, Vietnam\, Korea\, China\, India\, Sri Lanka\, South Africa\, New Zealand\, Canada\, Latvia\, France\, Belgium\, Pakistan\, Spain\, Italy\, Ireland\, Iceland\, Romania and from different regions and universities of the U.S.A. and of the U.K. Beyond the multicultural teaching which results from such a gathering\, the participants learn to live together and to share in difference during the time devoted to the work\, and during meals\, walks\, personal meetings etc. The atmosphere of the seminar is intense but friendly and joyful\, and its outcome highly successful for both the research and the life of each participant. \;
\nIf you are interested and would like to participate in such a seminar please send as soon as possible a CV\, a PhD abstract (1 page) and a presentation of the issues and arguments of your PhD that most focus on the work of Luce Irigaray (5 - 6 pages) to Luce Irigaray (by mail: 15\, rue Lakanal\, 75015 Paris\, France). After receiving this material\, Luce Irigaray will tell you if you can participate in the seminar of 2013. You will be in contact\, for further practical information\, in the Spring after the selection of the candidates.

Sometimes these ancient cultures\, \;epitomised by smooth white marble and classical beauty\, are idealised and \;glorified. \;More commonly\, they are depicted as \;wicked and corrupt\, decadent and licentious\, characterised by excessive drinking\, the violence and bloodlust of the arena\, sexual deviance and a lust for world domination. \; \;Intertwined with these characterisations are other groups\, notably Jews and Christians\, who may be depicted as foils to the pagan population. \; \;Portrayals of ancient Judaism and Christianity also often present exaggerated ideals of heroism and virtue in popular culture. \; \;This conference aims to explore the way particular virtues and vices are considered to be particularly representative of the ancient world\, and to reflect upon how these virtues and vices are portrayed in twentieth and twenty-first century popular culture\, in all its forms and media\, including cinema\, television\, radio\, literature\, comics\, advertising\, the internet and video games. \;
