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?

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. \;

\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).
\nThe journal invites submissions for publication. Submitted \;manuscripts should
\nOnce articles have been accepted for publication\, authors will be asked to conform to the Guide for Authors that can be found on the website of the journal (http://poincare.univ-nancy2.fr/PhilosophiaScientiae/?contentId=2933).

In order to promote a spirit of dialogue and meaningful reflection on each paper\, presenters will be asked to make their papers available for posting on our web site to be read in advance. Sessions will consist of 25-30 minute presentations of papers\, followed by 45 minutes of discussion. Though there will only be time to read 25-30 minute versions of papers in sessions\, there is some flexibility regarding the length of submissions: \; submissions may be between 3\,000 and 6\,000 words. Complete papers in English\, formatted for blind review\, must be submitted electronically to nasphermeneutics@gmail.com. Attachments in either *.doc\, *.rtf\, or *.pdf format are preferable.

\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.

Maurice 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.

June 13th \;&ndash\; 14th \;2013
\nWhat is presence for phenomenology? Where is phenomenology\, at present? Does phenomenology privilege presence? And what of absence?
\nWe are welcoming submissions for the 4th annual University of Sussex graduate conference in phenomenology. The themes of the last three years have progressed through phenomenology&rsquo\;s beginnings\, ends\, and methodology. This year the conference will approach the ambiguous status of phenomenology&rsquo\;s presence.
\nWe invite abstracts from those working in\, around\, or critically engaging with phenomenology\, broadly construed. We also encourage abstracts from those working outside philosophy departments. This is in keeping with the theme of the conference in that we hope to question the typical place and presence of phenomenological research.
\nHusserl&rsquo\;s famous battle cry calls thinking to return to the &lsquo\;things themselves&rsquo\;\, that which is given\, or that which presences and is present. Yet\, this very challenge\, the question of presence\, has drawn quite different responses from those thinkers who have engaged with the inheritance of phenomenology. Now more than ever\, phenomenology must contend with a scientific world view which describes the world by that which is withheld and yet underpins all that is given. Does phenomenology present an alternative? Should it? Or is the future of phenomenology more one of absence than presence?
\nThis conference provides graduate students the opportunity to present for twenty minutes and receive questions and feedback for an additional twenty minutes each. It is a two-day conference\, organized by graduate students for graduate students. It is organized as a single &lsquo\;stream&rsquo\;\, ensuring that every speaker has the opportunity of addressing all delegates. We aim to bring together postgraduates engaging in original research on phenomenology and related branches of philosophy and to promote contemporary studies in this field.
\nKeynote speakers:
\n- Professor Bé\;atrice Han-Pile (University of Essex\, UK)
\n- Professor Robert Bernasconi (Pennsylvania State University\, US)

The theme is pragmatist perspectives on truth and knowledge. In contemporary philosophy pragmatism is\, roughly\, the philosophical approach according to which we should explain concepts not in terms of what they represent\, but in terms of what they enable us to do. The workshop will explore this broader philosophical tradition through the specific themes of truth and knowledge.
\nThe first part of the workshop consists in a seminar with Michael Williams that will focus on four of his papers on themes of truth and knowledge. Each paper will be introduced by a University of Edinburgh PG student with a short critical presentation. The papers discussed are:
\nThe second part of the workshop consists in a series of talks concerned with pragmatist approaches to truth and knowledge. These talks are free and open to the general public. Our main speakers are:

Here the description of the course in German:
Die Summer School "Gottlob Frege ü\;ber Begriff\, Funktion und Urteil" \;wird sich der Frage nach Gottlob Freges Begriff des Begriffs widmen. \;Freges Auffassung ist wohlbekannt: "Ein Begriff ist eine Funktion\, \;deren Wert immer ein Wahrheitswert ist." Gerade dieses Verstä\;ndnis des \;Begriffs ermö\;glicht Frege eine Definition von "Anzahl"\, so dass das ausgegebene \;Ziel seines logizistischen Programms erreichbar scheint. Seine bereits \;in der Begriffsschrift verlangte Grundlegung der Arithmetik mittels Reduktion \;von arithmetischen Sä\;tzen oder Aussagen auf logische Grundprinzipien musste zwar \;von ihm selbst als gescheitert erachtet werden\, Frege hielt jedoch an seinem \;funktionstheoretischen Verstä\;ndnis von Begriffen fest. Auch fü\;r den linguistic turn - \;wie ihn Bertrand Russell und Ludwig Wittgenstein verfolgt haben - hat sich \;dieser Zugang an die Frage\, was der Begriff des Begriffs sei\, als massgeblich \;erwiesen.
In der einwö\;chigen Summer School werden wir uns mit den Voraussetzungen\, Konsequenzen \;und der historischen Einbettung der Ansicht beschä\;ftigen\, dass Begriffe Funktionen seien \;und nicht bloss in ihrer Funktion zu verstehen sind\, wie dies von Frege von seiner \;mittleren Schaffensperiode an vertreten worden ist. Die funktionstheoretische \;Auffassung soll dabei als Voraussetzung fü\;r die von der aristotelischen Syllogistik \;abweichende Zerlegung des Urteilinhalts dargelegt werden. \;Darü\;ber hinaus werden die mit dieser Auffassung von Begriff zusammenhä\;ngenden Konsequenzen \;fü\;r das Verhä\;ltnis von Logik und Grammatik untersucht. Ferner soll aber auch die in den letzten \;Jahren verstä\;rkte Rolle Freges in Bezug auf die Auflö\;sung des Problems \;der Einheit des Urteils thematisiert werden.

The University of Groningen\, The Radboud University Nijmegen and The Young Academy organize a conference on the impact of Ricoeur in the Humanities. This conference will take place in Groningen\, the Netherlands\, June 27-29\, 2013. \;
\nConference theme
\nIn the realm of the humanities\, Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) is widely viewed as one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. He published many important books and articles which made an impact on almost all areas of the humanities\, including history\, linguistics\, literary studies\, theology and philosophy.
\nIn his works\, Ricoeur combined the resources and insights of phenomenology and hermeneutics. In line with this double focus\, he came to see &lsquo\;the text&rsquo\; as a paradigm for addressing important historical\, ethical and philosophical problems. This enabled him\, among other things\, to recast the problem of personal identity in terms of narrative emplotment\; or to consider human action as a meaningful whole that is structured as a text. \; \;
\nHowever\, in the last decades\, the vast expansion of new media (video installations\, social networks\, games\, etc.) is rapidly changing the landscape of the humanities\, making it entirely different from the text-oriented culture in which Ricoeur was working. In addition\, new research approaches like genetics and cognitive science\, penetrate the humanities and introduce alternative paradigms which\, at first sight\, seem to be more in tune with the spirit of the times. Furthermore\, considering the increasing marginalization of the humanities in many countries\, their future course is far from self-evident. Under pressure of the financial crisis and a changing political reality\, the humanities have to find new arguments for legitimating their existence and proving their importance. \;
\nCultural\, scientific and political developments like this\, challenge Ricoeur&rsquo\;s perspective\, but also create opportunities to keep his work alive and develop it in new and unforeseen directions. By means of this conference\, we hope to confront present-day concerns with Ricoeur&rsquo\;s fruitful insights in order to help envision a future for the humanities. \; \;
\nThus the aim of this conference is to investigate what Ricoeur&rsquo\;s extensive oeuvre has to offer in rethinking and re-imagining the humanities. We will do this by focusing on three domains of questions. \;
\n1. Questions of interpretation
\nHow do we have to (re)locate Ricoeur&rsquo\;s work in relation to the humanities? Which of Ricoeur&rsquo\;s major contributions can be expected to remain relevant for the humanities? Etc. \;
\n2. Questions of discussion and context
\nIn what way can we relate Ricoeur&rsquo\;s oeuvre to ideas and methods of other philosophers and scientists? Does Ricoeur&rsquo\;s paradigm of the text still provide a relevant framework for thinking about the basic questions that concern the humanities? If so\, how can we bring Ricoeur&rsquo\;s perspective in a fruitful tension or dialogue with other\, competing paradigms? Etc. \; \;
\n3. Questions of application
\nHow can Ricoeur&rsquo\;s attributions to the humanities be adapted (if necessary) and applied to the new and changing situation of contemporary humanities? What are the possibilities and problems that we will have to explore while further elaborating on Ricoeur&rsquo\;s contributions to the humanities? Can we derive arguments and insights from Ricoeur that will improve our understanding of the contemporary situation of the humanities? Etc. \;
\nWe are planning to publish a selection of the papers of this conference in a proceedings collection.

Since then\, the book has provoked a significant amount of \;controversy\, yet at the same time it has been relatively neglected \;compared to Arendt&rsquo\;s other major works. On the occasion of the 50th \;anniversary of its publication\, the present conference seeks to explore \;the legacy of &ldquo\;On Revolution&rdquo\;\, assessing its relevance for contemporary \;social and political thought. \;We invite proposals for presentations that \;engage with the historical analyses\, theoretical positions\, and \;political conclusions of Arendt&rsquo\;s book.

\nIn March 1963\, The Viking Press published Hannah Arendt&rsquo\;s book &ldquo\;On Revolution&rdquo\;. Since then\, the book has provoked a significant amount of controversy\, yet at the same time it has been relatively neglected compared to Arendt&rsquo\;s other major works. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its publication\, the present conference seeks to explore the legacy of &ldquo\;On Revolution&rdquo\;\, assessing its relevance for contemporary social and political thought. We invite proposals for presentations that engage with the historical analyses\, theoretical positions\, and political conclusions of Arendt&rsquo\;s book.

Traditionally\, the concept of territory emerged both from the ethology of animal aggression and from a geopolitics of nations and their borders. Against this double root\, the works of Deleuze/Guattari aimed for the idea of a transcendental earth\, where expression is previous to aggression\, and deterritorialized people more fundamental than any nation. Territory becomes a fundamental concept for several domains of thought. From this expressive conception of nature\, the concept of territory and the twin concept of deterritorialization\, allowed an immense theoretical shift beyond its strictly biological context\, expanding its operative to a multitude of political\, epistemological\, aesthetic or anthropological problems.
\nThis conference intends to think all those problems\, departing from the concept of territory\, and spreading to its multiple political\, aesthetic\, and scientific ramifications. But it intends to do so in a transversal way\, excavating through all its more intriguing hiding places\, and exploring all its possibilities\, intricacies\, configurations and connections. With this\, we aim not only to deepen our knowledge of Deleuze's theoretical legacy\, but more importantly\, to think the current moment in politics\, art\, metaphysics and science. In order to do so\, this conference aims to bring together a wide range of researchers in philosophy\, science\, art and politics.
\nPreceding the conference\, students can participate in the \;Deleuze Camp 7\, which will take place from 1-5 July 2013\, \;Fá\;brica Braç\;o de Prata\, Lisbon\, Portugal.

\nGö\;del&rsquo\;s writings published during his lifetime show his dual interest in scientific questions and in fundamental philosophical questions. The posthumous publication of certain manuscripts and talks enables one better to understand this double interest in science and in philosophy. On the one hand\, Gö\;del developed most of his scientific results in order to solve or clarify certain philosophical questions. On the other hand\, his scientific work in the foundations of mathematics and in cosmology enriched his philosophical thought on\, for example\, the a priori classification of philosophical systems\, and on the relations between the notions of concept and object. Hence\, not only did Gö\;del\, as is well known\, believe that philosophy might become an exact theory\, \; provided that one does for metaphysics what Newton did for physics\; he should moreover be aligned with Descartes\, Leibniz\, and other early modern philosophers who believed that science and philosophy are inseparable.
\nThe conference will explore several features of Gö\;del&rsquo\;s philosophy that emerge from the unpublished manuscripts Max-Phil\, which have been partly transcribed by the research group directed by Gabriella Crocco at CEPERC (Université\; Aix-Marseille). The presentation of the complete transcriptions of Max-Phil IX-XV will be accompanied by an exploration of Gö\;del&rsquo\;s philosophy of logic\, mathematics\, and physics by international specialists and young Gö\;del scholars.

\n~Emmanuel Levinas\, Totality and Infinity \;
\nThe North American Levinas Society is excited to announce that our eighth annual meeting and conference will take place July 28-July 31\, 2013 at Duquesne University on the theme\, &ldquo\;Emmanuel Levinas and Interreligious Dialogue.&rdquo\; \;As &ldquo\;culture wars&rdquo\; and regional conflicts around the world continue to enlist various religious traditions and worldviews\, it \;seems timely to open robust\, deliberative meditations on how Emmanuel Levinas&rsquo\; &ldquo\;ethics as first philosophy&rdquo\; might help \;shape edifying interreligious dialogue for building peace and justice. \;We hope that scholars use this conference to take part in the ongoing conversation about the ramifications of Levinas&rsquo\; \;thought for various faith and non-faith traditions. Although preference will be given to papers that address the conference \;theme\, it is Society custom to consider papers and panels on any topic related to the work of Emmanuel Levinas. \;Our eight annual conference program will continue to include important Society traditions such as our annual Talmudic \;Reading from Georges Hansel\, a pedagogy session\, Society banquet\, a film screening\, and provocative plenary \;presentations from James Marsh\, Leah Kalmanson\, and others. \;

\nWe are pleased to announce the Pittsburgh Summer Symposium in Contemporary Philosophy\, held at Duquesne University. \;Details for the program are as follows:
\nSchelling and Naturphilosophie
\nAugust 5 - 9\, 2013 (Optional Participants&rsquo\; Conference\, August 3-4)
\n&ldquo\;What then is that secret bond which couples our mind to Nature\, or that hidden organ through which Nature speaks to our mind or our mind to Nature?&rdquo\; (Ideas for a Philosophy of Nature)
\n&ldquo\;The concept of nature does not entail that there should also be an intelligence that is aware of it. Nature\, it seems\, would exist\, even if there were nothing that was aware of it. Hence the problem can also be formulated thus: how does intelligence come to be added to nature\, or how does nature come to be presented?&rdquo\; (System of Transcendental Idealism)
\nSeminar Leaders:
\nProf. Iain Hamilton Grant (University of the West of England\, Bristol)
\nProf. Jason Wirth (Seattle University)
\nCourse Description:
\nIn recent \;years \;there has been a surge of research on the work of the German philosopher F.W.J. Schelling\, aided in the English-speaking world by a number of recent translations. This movement has included reexaminations of Schelling as a figure in the history of philosophy\, as a source of influence on a number of twentieth century thinkers\, and as a rich resource for addressing contemporary philosophical debates.
\nSchelling&rsquo\;s distinctive influence in the history of philosophy has been\, in part\, a product of his objective approach to transcendental idealism. In opposition to Fichte&rsquo\;s Wissenschaftslehre\, which argued that the subject must be the fundamental ground for transcendental idealism\, Schelling argued that an objective approach\, taking the form of Naturphilosophie\, is equally necessary for explaining the subject-object form of knowledge. Additionally\, in his later works\, Schelling&rsquo\;s concepts of freedom\, existence\, and the non-ground\, would give some of the earliest critiques of Hegel&rsquo\;s absolute idealism\, and would later influence thinkers like Kierkegaard\, Marx\, and Nietzsche. In the twentieth century\, the impact of his work would continue. His Freiheitsschrift\, for instance\, forms an important part of the conceptual context within which Martin Heidegger developed his notions of event\, ground\, and the plight of the human being\, operative in the 1930s and early 40s. Likewise\, Schelling&rsquo\;s influence profoundly marked Maurice Merleau-Ponty&rsquo\;s later ontology of the flesh\, his understanding of art\, the unconscious\, and the provocative task of doing a &ldquo\;psychoanalysis of Nature.&rdquo\;
\nMore recently\, Iain Hamilton Grant has mobilized Schellingian Naturphilosophie as a basis for recasting epistemological and metaphysical or ontological issues regarding the relation of physics and metaphysics\, the nature of time\, the nature of ground\, and more broadly calling for a radical reevaluation of the post-Kantian philosophical framework dominant over much of the last two centuries. This project has established one of the major arms of the recent movement to rethink the realist/anti-realist debate. Likewise\, Jason Wirth has revitalized Schellingian accounts of the Good\, intellectual intuition\, aesthetics\, nature\, and life in contemporary debates. He has also worked to put Schelling into conversation with a number of other recent thinkers\, both Western and\, notably\, of the Japanese Kyoto School.
\nOther contemporary philosophers have also taken up Schelling in related manners. Markus Gabriel\, for instance\, has integrated Schelling&rsquo\;s notion of non-ground into his &ldquo\;domain ontology&rdquo\; and its treatment of the nature of the world (or more properly the non-existence of the world)\, mythology\, evil\, contingency\, and necessity. Further\, in the Lacanian meta-psychology of Slavoj Žižek and Adrian Johnston\, Schelling&rsquo\;s philosophy has been used to give an account for the genesis of the transcendental subject out of natural and material substance conceived with reference to Trieb\, or drive.
\nThis summer symposium will bring together interested graduate students\, postdoctoral students\, and junior faculty \;for a week of discussion\, lecture\, and close textual study concerning \;this important philosopher. The topic for the seminar is Schelling's \;Naturphilosophie. We will examine questions about nature\, objectivity\, matter\, life\, knowledge\, and whether or not transcendental philosophy can be reconciled with the findings of the empirical sciences. All texts and discussion will be in English.
\nApplication:
\nWe invite current graduate students\, postdoctoral students\, and junior faculty in philosophy or related disciplines to submit an application composed of a C.V. and a short letter of intent (500 words maximum) to pghsummersymposium2013@gmail.com. The deadline for applications is April 5\, 2013. The seminar will be limited to 20-30 participants. For more information as it becomes available\, we have created a website for the symposium:
\nhttp://pghsummersymposium.wix.com/pghsummersymp2013
\n
Participants&rsquo\; Conference (August 3-4):
In order to \;facilitate a further exchange of ideas and research\, a participants&rsquo\; conference will be held the weekend before the seminar begins. Applicants who receive notice of acceptance as participants will be asked - if interested - to submit an abstract of \;up to 500 words on any theme related to the topic of the seminar. The participants&rsquo\; conference will take place on Saturday and Sunday\, August 3-4\, 2013.
\nFinancial Information:
\nThere will be a $125 registration fee for each participant of the seminar. This money will be used for a conference dinner\, celebration\, and daily expenses such as coffee\, etc. Please note that participants will be responsible for arranging their own housing as well as financing most of their own meals for the duration of the symposium. However\, with respect to lodging\, we expect a number of arrangements with graduate students will be available on a first come\, first serve basis.
