\nWHAT IS A YOUNG PHILOSOPHER?
\nYour age is irrelevant to whether or not you are a young philosopher. By &ldquo\;young philosopher&rdquo\; we mean someone who has received their Ph.D. in philosophy within the last 6 years. We will also consider submissions from exceptional graduate students who reasonably expect to defend by the Spring or Summer at the end of the 2023-2024 academic year.

\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.

\nPROGRAM
\nThis course aims at investigating a series of metaphysical concepts through the analysis of some of the most important philosophical treatises in the history of Western thought. Students will develop adequate critical and analytical skills by reading philosophical and interdisciplinary texts on topics such as being\, causation\, freedom and determinism\, God\, idealism and realism\, mind and body\, philosophy\, and universals and particulars. Furthermore\, students will learn to orient themselves in thinking by addressing a series of questions\, including: What is philosophy? What does it mean to think? Do humans have free will?  \;

Its main aim is to bring to light new empirical data and uncover novel interesting phenomena that may have the potential to challenge current theories. Empirical studies of the expressions mentioned from such languages\, comparisons with English slurs\, as well as wider cross-linguistic approaches are welcome. We also welcome developments of extant theories in application to the new data or previously neglected phenomena.
\nThe network's coordinators are Isidora Stojanovic (Institut Jean Nicod/CNRS) &\; Dan Zeman (Slovak Academy of Sciences/University of Warsaw). More information about the network and its activities can be found at \;https://sites.google.com/view/stalnetwork.
\nWe organize a regular monthy SEMINAR (see details under the "Seminar" section of the website) and an annual WORKSHOP (see details under the "Workshops" section of the website.
\nIMPORTANT: We are currently accepting new members! To become a member of STAL\, please send an email to both coordinators with a short description of your work in the area and your motivation for joining the network.

Organized on behalf of the \;Network for Phenomenological Research
The Inquiry Network WIP Talks feature presentations of work in progress related to inquiry\, broadly understood. For example\, presentations might discuss (but are not limited to): the epistemology of inquiry\, the metaphysics of inquiry\, ethical norms of inquiry\, historical perspectives on inquiry\, or the structure of scientific inquiry.
We aim to foster the sharing of ideas in an inclusive\, welcoming and low-pressure environment. Papers that are already accepted for publication will not be accepted. We aim to be sensitive to the needs of early-career scholars.
The group meets biweekly on Zoom during each of the Fall and Spring semesters. Meeting times are determined shortly before the beginning of each semester with the goal of finding a time that works for as many members as possible. Special consideration is given to finding a meeting time that works for presenters of accepted papers.

Abstract
Based on the modern understanding of space in Western philosophy (since Immanuel Kant)\, this lecture examines the relationship between the representation of space and spatial experience. It takes a position that questions the idea of a single concept of space (e.g. in the physical sense) and instead posits a dialectical relationship between the representation and the perception of space. Beyond Kant\, this is done through the writings of the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre on "The Production of Space" (originally published in 1974). Following Nelson Goodman's semiotics\, a further distinction is made between two forms of representation\, namely denotation and exemplification. This distinction will be illustrated by taking the experience of space in computer games as a possible form of exemplification of \;different conceptions of space.

ABOUT CONFERENCE:
\n\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \; Experiencing one&rsquo\;s life as a perpetual change rather than something constant has become more and more frequent in the contemporary world. Travelling has gained new dimensions &ndash\; it is no longer associated merely with tourism\, but it often turns out to be a way of life or even a figure of human condition. The homo viator of our times intentionally moves from country to country\, rents apartments and does not posses one\, changes his or her occupations and work places\, meets still new people and is generally well trained in being flexible\, mobile\, and open to metamorphoses. Travelling\, in its both literal and metaphorical meaning\, has much to do with transmission and transgression as it enables crossing the geographical\, physical\, cultural\, social\, and psychological borders. During our conference\, we would like to discuss all these &ndash\; and many other &ndash\; aspects of travelling and transgressive experiences.
\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;We want to describe those phenomena in their multifarious aspects: psychological\, social\, historical\, cultural\, philosophical\, religious\, political\, and many others. We also want to devote considerable attention to how they appear in artistic practices: literature\, film\, theatre\, or visual arts. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic disciplines\, such as anthropology\, history\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, politics\, philosophy\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, memory studies\, gender studies\, and postcolonial studies.
\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;Different forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical investigations\, problem-oriented arguments\, and comparative analyses.
\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \; We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the beginning of their careers as well as doctoral and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \; We hope that due to its interdisciplinary nature\, the conference will bring many interesting observations on and discussions about the role of travelling\, transmission\, and transgression in the past and in the present-day world.

\nThe Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IHPST) at the University of Toronto is pleased to announce our annual graduate workshop. This year our theme is A Piece of the Action: Participation and consumption in/around science. \;
\nWho has the privilege of being given a voice in developing new technologies? What makes some forms of citizen science legitimate but not others? How have social movements and medical discoveries transformed the doctor-patient relationship? What affirms legitimate contributions to scientific knowledge?
\nThe workshop will take place on Friday\, March 22 and Saturday\, March 23\, 2024. Participants will present a 30-minute presentation on a 3000-4000 word paper. Participants will receive comments from a faculty member affiliated with the IHPST before opening the floor for general Q&\;A. We will be running the workshop hybrid\, and though there is no fee\, we cannot cover travel or accommodation costs.

\nTitle: \;Field notes on the second law of thermodynamics from a quantum physicist
\nAbstract: \;Thermodynamics reigns as queen of the physical theories\, governing everything from biophysics to cosmology. The second law of thermodynamics heads her court\, stipulating that time appears to flow in only one direction and limiting engines&rsquo\; efficiencies. However\, idealizations curtail the original second law&rsquo\;s applicability: small systems violate simple\, early formulations of the law\, which imply quantitative predictions only about equilibrium states. The nineteenth-century law has been tightened\, including within quantum thermodynamics\, a field that has taken off in the past decade. I will illustrate this progress with examples. As a spoiler alert: I know of no ways to leverage quantum phenomena to break the second law. However\, quantum and other resources enable us to &ldquo\;bend around&rdquo\; the second law: we can appear to violate the law while\, in fact\, subtly avoiding assumptions behind modern formulations of the law.

\nOur private moments can instantly become public with just a touch\, and the line between what is personal and what is public has become more blurred and constitutive of each other. At Interdisciplinary PhD Communication Conference (IPCC) 2024\, we are opening the floor to early career researchers\, who are eager to explore these changes. The deadline for submitting the abstracts is the 24th of March 2024 (extended deadline). You can send your abstracts or panel proposals to \;ipcc@bilgi.edu.tr
\nThis year's conference (May 31 - June 1\, 2024) will be an online gathering which will also include an online networking event.
\nFor the last seven years\, IPCC (as part of the PhD in Communication Program at Istanbul Bilgi University) has been a space for bringing together PhD students and early career researchers dealing with communication research. \;IPCC also facilitates the publication of research and contributions that emerge from our conferences\, such as the recently edited book "Collaboration in Media Studies: Doing and Being Together" available through Routledge.
\nThis year\, we would like to discuss the implications of public-private dichotomy for communication research\, representation studies\, public personas\, influencers\, marketing\, and art-making.
\nWe invite you to bring your insights\, your research\, and your stories to our conference that seeks to make sense of these issues.
\nThe "Social cognition in VR" \;student conference \;aims to bring together students and researchers in philosophy of mind\, epistemology\, cognitive science\, philosophy of technology\, in order to advance our understanding of social cognition in VR - how do we use our TOM skills (if we do) when interacting with virtual agents\, what are the features of intersubjectivity in virtual reality\, can we use VR apps to develop or improve empathy\, theory of mind and social skills? \;

\nThe session will be on Zoom on \;Monday \;March 25\, 12:00pm Eastern US time / 9:00am Pacific US time / 16:00 UTC / 17:00 CET / 12:00am China Standard Time (on Mar 26) / 3:00am (on Mar 26) Sydney \;  \;
\nAbstract \; In this talk I present a pluralist view of truth of a special kind: correspondence-pluralism. Correspondence-pluralism is the view that to fulfill its function in knowledge\, truth requires correspondence principles rather than mere coherence\, pragmatist\, or deflationist principles. But these correspondence principles do not need to be the naive principles of traditional correspondence: copy\, mirror image\, direct isomorphism. Furthermore\, the patterns of correspondence may vary\, in certain disciplined ways\, from one field of knowledge to another. This combination of correspondence and pluralism enables us to set high standards of truth for all fields of knowledge while giving us sufficient flexibility to adjust these standards to the special conditions of different fields. In so doing\, we acquire new tools for addressing old as well as new questions: Is there correspondence-truth in mathematics? In ethics? Correspondence with what? What patterns of correspondence?
\n \;The talk is divided into four parts: (1) Why correspondence and what kind of correspondence? (2) Why pluralism and what kind of pluralism? (3) What are the patterns of correspondence in mathematics and ethics? (4) How does correspondence-pluralism avoid criticisms of other pluralisms?

\nAbstract: \;
\nKant&rsquo\;s late distinction\, in the \;Metaphysics of Morals\, between internal and external freedom has been a source of considerable confusion\, consternation\, and debate. Insofar as external freedom does not require conformity of the agent&rsquo\;s maxim with the universal principle of Right\, external freedom does not meet the conditions for autonomy as moral self-legislation familiar from \;Groundwork \;and \;Second Critique. Scholarly debate has tended to focus on what Kant&rsquo\;s seemingly prudential grounding of external freedom implies for the moral status of the \;Doctrine of Right \;as a whole\, with some arguing that the latter cannot form part of Kant&rsquo\;s moral philosophy and others defending various moral readings of the text. Rather than considering the moral status of the \;Doctrine of Right \;as a whole\, I here focus on the relation between external freedom and the idea of the general united will as legislative principle or criterion. I argue that the irrelevance of maxim in relation to external freedom is grounded in the rights of others\, and I go on to show that\, given this\, the general united will cannot be construed as a principle of collective self-legislation: it is\, to the contrary\, a principle of rightful \;coercive \;lawmaking. This does not impugn the moral status of the general united will\, the a priori necessity of which in the realm of rights is\, to the contrary\, an insight of pure practical reason.

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.

Her philosophical contributions span the areas of (1) essence\, modality\, identity\; (2) philosophy of mind\; (3) causation and counterfactuals\; and (4) free will and determinism. A superbly perceptive critic\, Penelope is best known for her 2006 book How Things Might Have Been in which she argued that our essential properties place little constraint on what we could have been. Hence\, you could have been a poached egg. Her most recent work provides invigorating contributions to debates about neo-Aristotelian essentialism (in constructive opposition to the work of Kit Fine)\, Transworld identity\, persistence\, and the nature of perceptual experience. \; \;
\nThis conference will celebrate Penelope&rsquo\;s life and work. \;
\nPenelope had an immense influence on generations of students. To celebrate this\, we would like to include papers by current and recent PhD students (by 'recent' we mean less than 2-years post graduation). If you would like to be included in the programme\, please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words (for a paper that can be presented in 20 minutes) to Neil Sinclair (neil.sinclair@nottingham.ac.uk) by 30th March 2024. \;
\nYour paper must engage with some aspect of Penelope's work\, and can fall under any of the four topics noted above. This call is open to all current and recent PhD students. \;

Christian thinkers\, by proclaiming that God as Creator transcends the reality He has created\, and that human beings as persons transcend the material world\, have entered this dispute on the anti-naturalist side. The contemporary dominance in culture of the naturalistic paradigm requires Christian philosophy to reflect on naturalism in the broadest sense (in its various forms)\, together with its conditions and consequences\, and to rethink its relationship to this philosophical tradition. Naturalism rejects the possibility of something existing\, being known\, or being explained that is separate from the material reality given in empirical cognition. Along with this\, it denies human beings transcendence with respect to the natural or social world. In its contemporary iteration\, this tradition appeals to the solutions and methods of domain-specific forms of scientific inquiry\, relying on them for its own authority.
\nFor Christian philosophy\, naturalism represents a powerful challenge. It is possible to see in it a threat to Christian philosophy\, but it is also possible to discern in it an opportunity for a more critical evaluation of Christian philosophy&rsquo\;s previous solutions\, and an opportunity to develop new ones. There is a need for a better understanding of naturalism itself\, as well as of what the various domain-specific sciences (including the natural and social sciences\, as well as the humanities and\, currently\, neuroscientific research in particular) have to say about the world and about human beings. Systematic and historico-philosophical questions equally still call for debate&mdash\;in relation to the centuries-old dispute between naturalism and anti-naturalism\, as well as the changing place of Christian thought within it. In our own time\, one can witness diverse attempts by Christian thinkers both to critically discuss naturalistic positions and to implement naturalistic approaches or solutions within Christian thought itself. Certainly\, the latter cannot ignore the fact that naturalism allows philosophy to maintain cognitive contact with domain specific forms of scientific inquiry.

\n\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe live in a world riddled with epistemic wrongs\, from the incidental put down of a marginal voice to the systematic extinction of whole knowledge systems and the continued epistemic disempowerment of whole populations through colonialism and racism. This event brings into dialogue philosophers and community members in order to theorise \;reparations for such distinctively epistemic wrongs (20th \;June)\, and \;start on actual reparative work in the context of post-Apartheid South Africa (21st \;and 22nd \;June).
\nEpistemic reparations are &ldquo\;intentionally reparative actions in the form of epistemic goods given to those epistemically wronged by parties who acknowledge these wrongs and whose reparative actions are intended to redress them&rdquo\; (Lackey 2022\, Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association). The paradigm of such reparations is when victims of gross human rights violations exercise their &lsquo\;right to be known&rsquo\;­\;&mdash\;the right to tell their story in the way and the space they choose\, with the corresponding duty perpetrators have to \;bear witness. Two days of the event will\, thus\, feature apartheid activists\, their children and grandchildren telling their stories through talks\, discussion\, and art.
\nWe invite abstracts from philosophers for the first day of this event.
\nFunding
\nThis event is a part of the Epistemic Reparations Global Working Group \;supported by the Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University. It is also the fourth event of a three-year collaboration on Epistemic Wrongs\, Blame\, and Reparations between Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University)\, Cameron Boult (Brandon University)\, and Veli Mitova (University of Johannesburg).

WAIT\, WHAT? A Graduate Conference on Nonsense and Category Mistakes \;
The Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy (WFAP) welcomes submissions of abstracts for its 13th annual graduate conference: \;Wait\, what?! A Graduate Conference on Nonsense. The conference will take place in hybrid format July 4 &ndash\; 6\, 2024.
\nConference Venue: \;Department of Philosophy\, University of Vienna\, Austria (hybrid)
Dates: \;July 4 &ndash\; 6\, 2024

Notification of Success: \;May 31\, 2024
Keynote Speakers:
Clare Mac Cumhaill (Durham) &\; Rachael Wiseman (Liverpool)
Ofra Magidor (Oxford)
Adrian Moore (Oxford)
Topic:
Nonsense is a kind of a failure of engaging in rational discourse that seems more fundamental than saying a mere falsehood &mdash\; to utter nonsense is to have failed to say anything at all. This year&rsquo\;s WFAP graduate conference aims to bring together early career and advanced researchers in order to discuss questions such as: How is an illusion of sense even possible? How can one distinguish nonsense from sense? How do different theories of meaning account for nonsense? Are there distinct kinds of nonsense\, e.g. gibberish\, category mistakes\, ambiguities etc.\, or are all cases of nonsense due to the same kind of transgression? What is nonsense&rsquo\;s role in philosophical theorizing\, both as a target of criticism and as an argumentative device? Does nonsense occur in ordinary discourse or is it a phenomenon that is particular to philosophical theorizing?
We welcome submissions on any topic related to our theme including but not limited to:
\nSubmission information:

Several known criticisms in the literature have already pointed out problematic aspects of this interpretation\, such as the lack of a satisfactory account of probabilities\, or the huge ontological cost of MWI. Our criticism\, however\, does not go into the technical details of any version of MWI\, but is at the same time more general and more radical. We show\, in fact\, that a whole class of theories&mdash\;of which MWI is a prime example&mdash\;fails to satisfy some basic tenets of science which we call facts about natural science. The problem of approaches the likes of MWI is that\, in order to reproduce the observed empirical evidence about any concrete quantum measurement outcome\, they require as a tacit assumption that the theory does in fact apply to an arbitrarily large range of phenomena\, and ultimately to all phenomena. We call this fallacy the holistic inference loop\, and we show that this is incompatible with the facts about natural science\, rendering MWI untenable and dooming it to be refuted.

\nCourse Leader: Dr Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere (KU Leuven)

\nTime: 5:30-7:00pm (BST)
\nLocation: Online (Zoom)
\n\nPhenomenology and queer theory\, as a form of critical theory\, are generally considered to be entirely distinct styles of thinking\, if not straightforwardly opposed in their presuppositions and aims. However\, this course will explore how&mdash\;much to the contrary&mdash\;phenomenology should instead be considered as an inherently queer method.
\n\nAfter all\, characterised by the so-called &lsquo\;reduction of the natural attitude&rsquo\;\, it exists precisely in what we could call the &lsquo\;bracketing of (hetero)normativity&rsquo\;. To that end\, we will first consider how the project of a &lsquo\;queer phenomenology&rsquo\; can be conceived in a properly methodological sense\, distinguishing it from a limited phenomenology of sexuality or gender. Second\, we will critically discuss contemporary phenomenological forms of heteronormativity\, particularly in France\, in order to illustrate how heteronormativity is not simply a political but a distinctly methodological&mdash\;and thus phenomenological&mdash\;problem. Third\, we turn to Husserl in order to conceive of the reduction as an inherently queer category. Finally\, we will apply the phenomenological insights thus acquired to the specific experience of AIDS in order to show how the queer perspective can serve the phenomenological method in general\, specifically by providing the opportunity for integrating both love and embodiment into Heidegger&rsquo\;s existential ontology.

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?

\nKent PhiGS -- the philosophy graduate society at the University of Kent at Canterbury (United Kingdom) -- \; is pleased to announce its Sixth Annual Graduate Colloquium\, to take place on 5-6 June 2024 at the University of Kent\, and online.
\nThe Colloquium aims to promote discussion among graduate researchers working in the same general areas as us at Kent\, where we have a wide range of topics of inquiry. Such diversity promotes the advancement of inquiry through cross-pollination between fields\, and the Colloquium seeks to facilitate such fruitful encounters. We invite submissions from graduate researchers -- masters as well as doctoral -- on the following or related topics:
\n- Philosophy of mental health\, especially concerning autonomy and responsibility
\n- Role ethics
\n- Philosophy of medicine\, especially concerning disease definition
\n- Epistemology\, especially disagreement and belief formation
\n- Gradualist approaches in metaphysics and ontology
\n- Pragmati(ci)st approaches in philosophy of science and metaphysics
\n- Approaches to mathematical semantics
\n- Conception of the self by liberal theories
\n- Evidential Pluralism and Artificial Intelligence
\n- Reconciling the manifest and scientific image\, especially with respect to time.
\nSubmissions should take the form of an abstract of no more than 400 words\, the talks themselves being about 30 minutes in length. Abstracts should be anonymised\, in PDF format\, and sent as attachments to an email. In the body of the email please give name and return email address\, as well as institutional affiliation and whether you wish to present at the Colloquium in person or online. We understand that it is the nature of these talks to be works-in-progress\, so there is no requirement to submit a whole paper in advance: the talk\, when given\, is the paper. The language of the Colloquium is English. Please send abstracts to Mark Garron at \;mg734@kent.ac.uk\, to arrive no later than 5 April 2024.
\nUnfortunately\, we do not have funds for travel and accommodation for graduate speakers\, although your own institution may be able to provide such a facility if you wish to present in person.

What are some of the main problems and key issues researchers will need to take into account in order to maintain (or expand) its status as a revolutionary view of mind and cognition?
\nIn order to tackle these questions\, the Brazilian research group CLEA (Cognition\, Language\, Enactivism and Affectivity) is holding a series of online debates called &ldquo\;The Future of Enactivism&rdquo\;\, bringing fresh and critical perspectives to this research program. Each session will consist in a main presenter and a critical commentator. Members of the audience will also be able to ask questions and participate in the debate.
\nThe first event of the series is called &ldquo\;Enactivism: Utopian and Scientific&rdquo\; and will feature Russell Meyer (Chinese Academy of Sciences\, Institute of Philosophy) as the main presenter and Guilherme Sanches de Oliveira (TU Berlin) as critical commentator. It will be held online on Thursday\, April 10th\, at 8:30 AM Brasilia time (GMT-3). We invite everyone to participate by registering beforehand at cleafilosofia[at]gmail.com in order to receive the link.
