DESCRIPTION:<p>Disorder: A Graduate Student Conference</p>\n<p>April 7th\, 2018</p>\n<p>Keynote: Dr. Ginger Hoffman (St. Joseph&rsquo\;s University)</p>\n<p>Does the concept of order necessarily imply disorder? What does an exception say about the rule? Is rationality a feasible virtue for admittedly irrational beings? Philosophy often sees itself as an attempt at ordering things. Yet\, as much as philosophical thinking tries to &lsquo\;carve nature at its joints&rsquo\;\, life does not bend readily to the will of systematic critique. Every attempt at philosophical order runs aground on outliers\, counterexamples\, and <em>disorder</em>. This one-day graduate student conference looks to the interrelation between ordering and disorder. We are seeking papers from any area of philosophy that discuss broadly-construed questions of disorder\, imperfection\, dysfunction\, disarray\, and disobedience. We welcome papers on the philosophy of race\, gender\, and/or disability.</p>\n<p>Possible suggested topics</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;Notions of the absurd</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;The concept of medical and psychiatric disorders</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;Idealism in a non-ideal world</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;The irreducibility and disunity of the sciences</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;The limits of systematic thinking</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;The interrelation between reason and emotion in decision-making</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;The failure of respectability politics</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;The aesthetics of imperfection</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;-&nbsp\;Ethical disobedience and moral exceptions</p>\n<p>The conference committee is looking for full papers of roughly 3000 words\, meant for roughly 25 minutes per presentation with additional time for questions and answers.
