Dans cette optique\, nous cherchons à\; mettre en place un rendez-vous ré\;gulier pour en discuter les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects.
\nDu fait de l&rsquo\;é\;tendue de la francophonie\, ces sé\;minaires auront lieu en ligne. Leur principe sera le suivant : les participant-e-s auront tous et toutes pré\;alablement lu un article ou un chapitre ré\;cent\, lequel sera pré\;senté\; trè\;s rapidement par souci de prioriser les é\;changes (10 minutes) par son autrice ou auteur. À\; partir de celui-ci\, un-e membre du ré\;seau ouvrira (5 min) à\; un dé\;bat plus large afin de discuter\, outre l&rsquo\;article\, les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects de l&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre d&rsquo\;Arendt (1h30).
\nProgramme 2026\nEn 2026\, nous proposons quatre sé\;ances ordinaires du sé\;minaire et une sé\;ance spé\;ciale : «\; Arendt et la science é\;conomique »\;\, «\; Arendt et le travail »\;\, «\; Liberté\;\, volonté\;\, politique »\;\, «\; Arendt et la violence »\;\, «\; Philosophie\, é\;ducation et politique »\;.
\nLe sé\;minaire est ouvert à\; toutes et tous sans inscription pré\;alable \; n&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas à\; venir y assister et y participer. Les articles et textes discuté\;s sont disponibles sur le site du RAF. N&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas non plus à\; nous contacter pour toute demande d&rsquo\;information complé\;mentaire.
\nLe RAF ?\nLe Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone (RAF) se veut un espace divers et pluriel\, rassemblant une communauté\; de doctorant-e-s\, enseignant-e-s\, chercheurs/ses\, intellectuel-le-s et toute personne inté\;ressé\;e ou engagé\;e dans l'é\;tude et la diffusion de la pensé\;e d'Hannah Arendt en France et le monde francophone. À\; travers cette plateforme\, nous souhaitons favoriser les é\;changes intellectuels\, offrir une visibilité\; accrue aux travaux de recherche et cré\;er des liens solides entre francophones s'inté\;ressant à\; et puisant dans l'&oelig\;uvre de cette autrice majeure du XXe siè\;cle.
\nOutre l&rsquo\;organisation de ce sé\;minaire et d'é\;vè\;nements acadé\;miques lié\;s à\; la pensé\;e d'Arendt\, le ré\;seau actualise continuellement un site web qui met à\; disposition : une bibliographie des textes de langue franç\;aise consacré\;s à\; Arendt ou la mobilisant\, un annuaire des membres du ré\;seau\, un agenda des activité\;s francophones qui lui sont dé\;dié\;es et une lettre d'information mensuelle.

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.
Applications are open for Foundations and Frontiers of Analytical Sociology\, a doctoral-level course hosted by Institute for Analytical Sociology\, Linkö\;ping University. The course is organized around an international lecture series featuring many of the scholars who have shaped analytical sociology and continue to define its contemporary development.
\nConfirmed speakers include:
\nPeter Bearman\, Delia Baldassarri\, Elizabeth Bruch\, Damon Centola\, Diego Gambetta\, Peter Hedströ\;m\, Gianluca Manzo\, Michael Macy\, Arnout van de Rijt\, Duncan Watts\, and Petri Ylikoski.
\nThe course explores central questions concerning social mechanisms\, explanation\, social interaction\, networks\, diffusion\, collective action\, computational social science\, and the relationship between theory and empirical research. Particular attention is devoted to the role of mechanism-based explanations in the social sciences and to philosophical questions concerning explanation\, causation\, and social scientific inquiry.
\nThe lecture series is accompanied by readings and highly participatory seminars in which participants critically discuss the lectures\, the assigned literature\, and connections to their own research. The course culminates in an individual paper in which participants develop an independent analysis of a research question using the theories\, concepts\, and explanatory models discussed throughout the course. Participants are encouraged to connect this assignment directly to their doctoral projects.
\nThe course is open to doctoral students and researchers from sociology\, philosophy\, political science\, economics\, computational social science\, and related disciplines.

Join us for a weekly close reading of Gramsci&rsquo\;s Prison Notebooks! The group has a twofold goal: first\, to analyze contemporary political events through the categories formulated in the text\; and second\, to critically examine potential blind spots in Gramsci&rsquo\;s work regarding race\, gender\, and empire\, while keeping in mind the historical context in which he wrote.

ABOUT INCITE SEMINARS
We are a mix of rogue scholars\, disgruntled academics\, disenchanted buddhists\, enchantment-hungry anarchists\, radical therapists\, and general weirdos looking to create autonomous and accessible forms of &ldquo\;higher education.&rdquo\;
We offer online seminars and reading groups to incite personal exploration and inspire community action. Incite Seminars offers an educational experience. We do so by gathering an engaged group of participants for a dynamic exchange of ideas\, led by skilled facilitators. All of our facilitators have a deep relationship to a subject or topic through intensive study or practice.
Incite Seminars is a 100% member-supported learning community. We depend on member contributions to continue holding space for radical study and practice groups\, putting on rigorous seminars and courses\, and providing our facilitators and organizers with fair compensation. If you are unable to pay the full amount for a session or membership at this time\, we invite you to join us at reduced or no cost with our Solidarity option.
Slurring Terms Across Languages (STAL) is an international and interdisciplinary network whose primary aim is to promote work on slurs\, pejoratives\, expressives and evaluative terms in general\, from languages that have been seldom discussed in the recent philosophical and semantic literature\, and in particular\, from sign languages and non-Indo-European languages. 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 and developments of extant theories in application to the new data or previously neglected phenomena are encouraged too.
\nThe network's coordinators are Isidora Stojanovic (Pompeu Fabra University/CNRS-Institut Jean Nicod) &\; Dan Zeman (University of Porto). More information about the network and its activities can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/stalnetwork. To contact the network coordinators\, please write to stalnetwork@gmail.com.
\nThe STAL Seminar features monthly\, online talks by researchers tackling issues related to the study of slurs\, pejoratives\, expressives and evaluative terms in general\, from less studied languages. The meetings in the 2026-2027 academic year take place on MONDAYS\, 14:30-16:00 Central European Time (CET). The list of speakers is the following (exact dates and titles to be provided soon):

Work in computational social philosophy has illuminated phenomena ranging from the epistemic value of diversity and the dynamics of epistemic belonging to the emergence and erosion of norms and processes of polarization.
\nGenerative and agentic AI tools stand to profoundly reshape computational social philosophy in at least two ways:
\nAs objects of study for computational social philosophy. Generative and agentic AI are increasingly embedded in epistemic life: as sources of information\, interlocutors\, surrogates for social participants\, gatekeepers within epistemic communities\, and even partially autonomous epistemic actors. This should motivate a broadening of purview in social epistemology\, which has tended to focus primarily on personal\, interpersonal\, and institutional factors that impact inquiry\, but comparatively less on technological factors. \;
\nAs tools of study for computational social philosophy. These systems can lower the technical barriers to computational work. More interestingly\, they may expand the range of social phenomena philosophers can model\, including richer representations of agents&rsquo\; beliefs and behavior\, more complex interactions and environments\, and even digital-twin-style models of particular communities or institutions.
\nThis cluster brings together philosophers working in\, or seriously engaging with\, computational social philosophy. We are eager to gather a cohort who can bring rigor\, clarity\, and intellectual generosity to advancing understanding in relation to the above themes.
\nWe&rsquo\;re particularly interested in philosophical contributions that engage one or more of the following cross-cutting threads:
\nModeling of AI systems as socio-epistemic phenomena: How might explicitly modeling the effects of AI systems within social epistemic processes challenge\, deepen\, or expand existing understanding in social epistemology and philosophy of science?
\nModeling of socio-epistemic phenomena with AI-based tools: What new forms of social epistemological phenomena can AI-based tools help us represent and investigate beyond traditional methods\, such as typical agent-based models?
\nUnderstanding aims and tradeoffs: How should we think about the tradeoffs between promises of AI-based tools (e.g.\, flexibility\, expressive power\, scale) and other desiderata (e.g.\, robustness\, justification\, tractability\, understanding) that have long been central to computational social philosophy? What can we learn about these issues from the use of AI-based tools in other disciplines such as computational social science?
\nMethodological standards: What standards should guide reliable\, reproducible\, and more generally epistemically and ethically responsible philosophical inquiry using AI-based methods in computational social philosophy?
\nPlease note that\, while we welcome expressions of interest from all disciplines\, this is not a general workshop about AI or AI-based simulations. It is a workshop about how deeper engagement with AI systems as objects of modeling studies and as a modeling tool can ultimately enrich and expand philosophical inquiry.

Fonds Ricœur Monthly Seminar (ENS\, Paris) UID:20261102T033112Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-5886c7b8db-s9qjx TZID:Europe/Paris LOCATION:École Normale Supérieure\, 45 rue d'Ulm\, Paris\, France\, 75005 DESCRIPTION:Presentation of the Seminar
\nThe seminar "Actualité\;s de Ric&oelig\;ur" ("Ric&oelig\;ur Studies Today") aims to offer a space for discussion and development for early-career research on Ric&oelig\;ur. Hosted at the É\;cole Normale Supé\;rieure for the 2026&ndash\;2027 academic year\, it welcomes proposals from doctoral students\, postdoctoral researchers\, and early-career scholars who wish to explore\, extend\, or put to the test the resources of Paul Ric&oelig\;ur's philosophy.
\nThe first edition of this seminar is entitled "Ric&oelig\;ur\, Dead or Alive?" &mdash\; a deliberately ambiguous formulation\, one that invites us to question both the internal vitality of his &oelig\;uvre and its capacity to nourish the philosophical\, ethical\, and political debates of today.
\nIs Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutic phenomenology not defined\, in essence\, by its defense of &mdash\; and\, as it were\, its "vow" (v&oelig\;u) in favor of &mdash\; life\, the living\, and the lively? But is he still a living interlocutor\, or has his thought sedimented into heritage?
\nThe seminar will follow this format: two speakers per two-hour session\, with 30 minutes of presentation and 30 minutes of discussion for each speaker.
\nFor paper proposals\, we welcome submissions engaging with three thematic axes.
\nAxis I. Life as Resistance &ndash\; Language\, Time\, and Action
\nHow does life affirm\, narrate\, and configure itself in the face of what negates it? Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutic phenomenology is traversed by a fundamental tension between the power to act and the multiple forms of its hindrance. Confronted with evil\, forgetting\, or indeed death\, Ric&oelig\;ur explores the diverse forms of resistance at work within life &mdash\; metaphors\, narratives\, memories\, history. These resistances\, as actions\, possess an intrinsic logic and continue to create the meaning of life.
\nSuggested Lines of Approach
\n1. Language as resistance: How does the "living metaphor" (The Rule of Metaphor\, 1975) constitute a form of resistance to the "entropy of language\," which freezes meaning? In what sense is semantic innovation a vital act\, a "revival"?
\n2. Narrative as resistance: In Time and Narrative (1983&ndash\;1985)\, emplotment is presented as a provisional victory over temporal discordance. How are we to think this victory in the face of the radicality of Heideggerian "being-towards-death"?
\n3. Memory as resistance: Memory\, History\, Forgetting (2000) distinguishes between forgetting kept in reserve and forgetting through effacement. In what way does this distinction commit us to an ethics of memory as a form of fidelity to life?
\nAxis II. A Life of One's Own &ndash\; Selfhood\, Vulnerability\, Ethicity
\nHow might vulnerability\, far from being a limit of subjectivity\, be its very condition of ethical possibility? Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutics of the self is built upon the recognition of a constitutive fragility: narrative identity is always exposed to rupture\, to suffering\, to undergoing the action of the other &mdash\; the other inscribing at the very heart of the self. This axis proposes to deepen reflection on the relation between the self and the other\, and to explore the modes by which a "good life" may be accomplished\, starting from the concrete ordeals of vulnerability: trauma\, the quest for mutual recognition\, and the precariousness of existence.
\nSuggested Lines of Approach
\n4. The ordeal of narrative identity: Oneself as Another (1990) articulates idem-identity and ipse-identity around the self-constancy under trial. What becomes of this articulation when the trial is that of identity's collapse &mdash\; serious illness\, exile\, trauma? Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutics of narrative identity also resonates with debates on the performativity of identity and with gender studies (Butler).
\n5. The reciprocity of recognition: In The Course of Recognition (2004)\, Ric&oelig\;ur moves from self-recognition to mutual recognition. How might this course enter into dialogue with contemporary theories of vulnerability (Weil\, Levinas) or of care?
\n6. The ethical life: The "ethical aim" defined in the "ethical studies" (Oneself as Another\, Studies 5-7) seeks to realize a "good life." Does this notion remain operative in the face of situations of thwarted life\, precarity\, or desubjectivation?
\nAxis III. Ric&oelig\;ur&rsquo\;s Survival &ndash\; Present Legacies
\nRic&oelig\;ur maintained a singular relationship with his own era\, marked as much by fruitful resonances as by sharp conflicts. This axis seeks to interrogate the philosophical actuality of these past debates: what extensions\, what corrections\, and what ruptures does Ric&oelig\;urian thought call for today? Proposals will place Ric&oelig\;ur's texts in critical dialogue with contemporary problematics\, without confining themselves to historical reconstruction.
\nSuggested Lines of Approach
\n7. Radical alterity in phenomenology: Ric&oelig\;ur engaged in a twofold critical dialogue with Derridean deconstruction and Levinasian ethics &mdash\; two distinct contestations of the autonomy of the self\, the one through the play of language\, the other through the ethical injunction of the face. How do these confrontations\, taken together\, illuminate the limits and the resources of the hermeneutics of the self in the face of the contemporary challenges of hospitality\, communication\, and responsibility?
\n8. Philosophical anthropology: Is the human being\, understood as the "capable human being" (From Text to Action\, 1986)\, in a position to accommodate new forms of agency &mdash\; collective\, distributed\, digital &mdash\; or do its anthropological presuppositions constrain it? In this regard\, Ric&oelig\;urian philosophy could enter into fruitful dialogue with the theories of Stiegler (tertiary retention) and Arendt (collective action).
\n9. Justice today: How might Ric&oelig\;ur's reflections on justice\, collective memory\, and forgiveness (Memory\, History\, Forgetting\, Epilogue) be articulated with the contemporary stakes of memory conflicts\, politics of reconciliation\, or postcolonial reparations? Ric&oelig\;ur's philosophy is bound up with figures such as Halbwachs\, Derrida\, and Honneth. His reflection on memory and forgiveness continues to shed lasting light on the practices of transitional justice.
\nSubmission Guidelines
\nTo submit a proposal or for any inquiries\, please write to us at the following address: seminaire.actualites.ricoeur@gmail.com. Proposals are welcome from doctoral students\, postdoctoral researchers\, and early-career scholars of any discipline (philosophy\, literary studies\, theology\, social sciences\, law)\, provided that they are grounded in Ric&oelig\;ur's texts and in contemporary debates for which Ric&oelig\;urian theory could be fruitfully mobilized. Comparative and transdisciplinary proposals are welcome. We will accept proposals in French and in English.

Ten years after the Supreme Court of Canada&rsquo\;s Carter decision\, Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) has become an established part of Canadian healthcare\, law\, and public life. Yet despite broad public support\, it remains one of the most controversial and poorly understood issues in the country.
\nThe first decade of MAiD in Canada was largely defined by its legalization and subsequent expansion. Today\, Canada appears to be entering a period of reassessment. Continued delays surrounding the implementation of MAiD for mental illness\, Alberta&rsquo\;s recent MAiD restrictions\, growing critiques from the disability community\, increasing concerns about structural vulnerabilities and social suffering\, debates over conscientious refusal and institutional participation\, and broader questions concerning safeguards\, oversight\, and public trust have prompted renewed reflection on the future of assisted dying in Canada.
\nThis conference seeks to take stock of Canada&rsquo\;s first decade of MAiD.
\nTen years in\, the central question is no longer simply whether MAiD should be legal. Rather\, the debate increasingly concerns where the boundaries should be drawn\, how these boundaries are justified\, and what values should guide future MAiD policy.
\nDisagreements about MAiD are often presented as conflicts between supporters and opponents. Yet many of the most difficult questions arise among people who share similar values but disagree about how these values should be interpreted and balanced\, especially in hard cases. Concepts of autonomy\, compassion\, dignity\, equality\, protection\, and care continue to animate the debate\, yet these are not fixed rules that can be applied mechanically. Rather\, they require judgment under conditions of uncertainty. Consequently\, reasonable disagreement can persist even among those who share many of the same moral commitments.
\nThe conference does not aim to advance a particular position on assisted dying. Rather\, it seeks to promote a deeper understanding of the legal\, ethical\, clinical\, and social questions that continue to shape Canada&rsquo\;s MAiD system. By bringing together scholars\, clinicians\, policymakers\, legal experts\, students\, and members of the public\, the conference seeks to foster thoughtful discussion on what Canada has learned from its first decade of MAiD\, what questions remain unresolved\, and how the next decade should be approached.

Call for Abstracts/Papers and Registration
This year's annual conference of the German Society for Utilitarian Studies (Gesellschaft fü\;r Utilitarismusstudien) will focus on the significance of suffering in theory and practice. What is suffering\, and which entities can suffer? What is severe or unbearable suffering\, in particular\, and should it take priority over happiness and other prudential\, moral\, or political values or reasons? If so\, what kind of priority and why?
Our speakers include Roger Crisp (Oxford)\, David Enoch (Oxford)\, Felicia Knaul (UCLA)\, Jennifer Corns (Glasgow)\, Michael Brady (Glasgow)\, Jonas H. Aaron (Zurich)\, Leonard Dung (Bochum)\, Bjø\;rn Morten Hofmann (NTNU)\, Claudia Bozzaro (Mü\;nster)\, and Dieter Birnbacher (Dü\;sseldorf).
To participate in person or online\, please email adriano.mannino@hm.edu. Participation is free. The conference will start Thursday afternoon\, November 19\, and end Saturday afternoon\, November 21\, 2026 (schedule TBA). You are welcome to attend only part of the conference.
Our schedule has room for additional speakers. Please attach your abstract or paper if you would like to give a talk\; we will notify you within a few days of submission. We can fully cover travel costs within Europe\, and at least partly from elsewhere.
Suitable topic areas include but are not limited to: the concepts and mental phenomena of pain\, suffering\, aversion\, etc.\, and the concepts of severity and unbearability\; pain and suffering as they relate to the theory of illbeing and wellbeing\, value and disvalue\; to intra- and interpersonal (non)aggregation\, nonidentity\, and population-level choices\; to Kantian dignity\, contractualism\, virtue ethics\, and other nonconsequentialist perspectives\; to the concept of illhealth and issues in biomedical ethics or normative health economics more broadly (e.g.\, unbearability and end-of-life care\, the measurement of suffering and the QALY/DALY/WELLBY metrics\, patient prioritization and triage)\; to other areas of applied ethics (e.g.\, research ethics\, animal ethics\, AI ethics\, applied population ethics/future ethics)\; to issues in political philosophy/theory and practice\; and to the history of utilitarian thought and rivaling traditions.
The German Society for Utilitarian Studies (Gesellschaft fü\;r Utilitarismusstudien) is an association of scholars interested in utilitarian thought. Its aim is to foster engagement with the utilitarian tradition in philosophy and adjacent disciplines. Needless to say\, the association welcomes utilitarians and non-utilitarians alike.
We are grateful to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for supporting our 2026 annual conference.
All seminars are on Mondays at 8:30am PT / 11:30am ET / 4:30pm London / 5:30pm Berlin.

\nTitle: Broader Science\, Narrower Roles: Scientific Expertise in the Age of AI
\nAbstract: Modern science depends on specialization and teamwork\, with researchers combining complementary expertise through collaboration. Large language models (LLMs) offer a new way to access knowledge and methods across fields\, raising questions about how scientific expertise is now assembled. Drawing on publication histories of over 775\,000 scientists and contributor statements from more than 137\,000 papers\, we examine changes in what scientists work on\, whom they work with\, and how teams divide their work during the period of widespread LLM diffusion. We find that research portfolios broadened\, collaboration networks became more interdisciplinary\, and individual responsibilities within teams became more specialized. These patterns were more pronounced among authors with stronger AI-associated writing signals. Our findings point to a shifting relationship between the breadth of scientists' research and the work they perform.

\nIn person and live streamed on UMBCtube
\nAbstract: \;Can humour help us cope with hardship without distancing or denial? Does laughter at misfortune manifest what Bergson called &ldquo\;a momentary anesthesia of the heart&rdquo\;&mdash\;or worse? This talk takes up a puzzle about confessional comedy: why isn&rsquo\;t it vicious to draw pleasure from another&rsquo\;s suffering\, as we do when comics joke about trauma? The answer turns on the fine structure of empathy\; and the upshot is a theory of confessional stand-up as bespoke theodicy: a temporary\, interpersonal solution to the emotional problem of evil. This solution is one we can administer to ourselves\, using humour to confront adversity. Content note: violence and sexual assault.

The workshop seeks to de-stigmatize Tribal and Indigenous Philosophy by challenging the tendency to view tribal thought as primitive\, pre-logical\, or merely cultural rather than philosophical. It recognizes Tribal and Indigenous communities as knowledge producers and philosophical thinkers\, with rich traditions of reflection on reality\, personhood\, ethics\, community\, nature\, and the good life.
With a special focus on Northeast India\, the workshop will explore diverse tribal philosophies through their languages\, oral traditions\, cultural practices\, memories\, relationships with land and ancestors\, and more-than-human worlds. It will also examine questions of identity\, ecology\, healing\, knowledge\, colonial legacies\, and cultural self-determination.
\nThe workshop aims to create a space where Tribal Philosophy is understood not simply as an object of academic study\, but as a living intellectual tradition that contributes to contemporary philosophical thought.

That means that art is incredibly important\, but it is not immediately clear \;how \;art works. \;I have argued that the artwork can be understood as a \;measure \;that anchors the happening of truth. In this talk I distinguish between different \;measures \;in Heidegger&rsquo\;s thought: Hö\;lderlin&rsquo\;s claim that &ldquo\;there is no measure on earth\,&rdquo\; the measure of \;dike(justice) in Greek tragedy and the different measures of science.
\nIn the end I want to suggest that the concept of an art measure can help us develop a novel\, Heideggerian inspired understanding of characteristic features of artworks from the last century.

These questions have led to centuries of philosophical and empirical investigations\, and still lack definitive answers. We thus invite submissions from all disciplines that leverage insights from the use of different techniques\, methodologies\, and research questions to shed light on the nature and functioning of the mind.
\nIn this fourth web conference\, we seek again to bring together many of these perspectives to build a common ground\, a comprehensive and multi-scale conceptual landscape of the mind. We accept submissions from a broad range of perspectives\, including - but not limited to - philosophy of psychology\, philosophy of psychiatry\, philosophy of neuroscience\, philosophy of cognitive science\, philosophy of mind\, philosophy of artificial intelligence &\; robotics\, philosophy of linguistics\, philosophy of ethology\, philosophy of (cognitive) anthropology\, philosophy of biology\, philosophy of the social sciences and consciousness studies.

\nAbout the Seminar "Philosophy and the National Question"
\nTaking as its starting point the concept of "philosophical nationalism" proposed by Jacques Derrida\, this seminar will examine the relationships between nation\, nationality\, nationalism\, and philosophy. It will explore how national and nationalist discourses have accompanied the construction of modern philosophical historiography\, as well as the development of comparative and intercultural philosophy. Indeed\, the division of the world into "philosophical nations" remains one of the implicit frameworks of comparativism\, and may turn the "dialogue between traditions" into a discourse liable to legitimize national ideologies. The seminar will therefore question the philosophical relevance of these divisions: do philosophical identities or recognizable places of thought exist? Can one speak of national styles without fetishizing differences\, and without overlooking circulations\, reciprocal influences\, and the cosmopolitan vocation of philosophy? Finally\, it will assess philosophy's capacity to interrogate national and nationalist phenomena and\, where appropriate\, identify its possible perspectives and how they differ from the approaches proper to the social sciences.
\nThe seminar is co-organized by Romaric Jannel and Hé\;ctor G. Castañ\;o in the framework of the Collè\;ge international de philosophie. All sessions are open to everyone and free of charge.

\nThe reading group is organized by the Linguistic Kant Consortium\, a research initiative within the Department of Philosophy and Moral Sciences at Ghent University\, Belgium. It brings together a PhD and a Postdoctoral project\, both funded by the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO)\, obtained by Alice Cambi and Levi Haeck Gormez\, respectively (promotor: Professor Gertrudis Van de Vijver). The central aim of the consortium is to explore the intersection of Kant&rsquo\;s transcendental philosophy and philosophy of language and/or linguistics. This area of study has seen a growing wave of interest in recent years\, though there remains a scarcity of resources for scholars and students working on Kant&rsquo\;s philosophy. The Linguistic Kant Consortium seeks to address this gap by (a) organizing the aforementioned fortnightly reading group dedicated to Kant's reflections on language\, as well as his intellectual sources (e.g.\, Locke\, de Condillac\, Rousseau)\, key interlocutors (e.g.\, Herder\, Hamann)\, and the developments in post-Kantian philosophy (e.g.\, von Humboldt\, Hegel). To enrich the discussions\, the reading group also (b) features regular lectures by leading experts.
\nThis semester\, the group will be reading the Metacritique on the Purism of Reason by Hamann and the Origin of Languages and Writing by Tetens. \; \;
\nSCHEDULE
\n4/11\, 3-5 PM CET: J. G. Hamann's Metacritique on the Purism of Reason
\n18/11\, 3-5 PM CET: J. N. Tetens' On the Origin of Languages and Writing (Part I-V)
\n2/12\, 3-5 PM CET: J. N. Tetens' On the Origin of Languages and Writing (Part VI-VII) \;

\nThe 2026 Online Symposium of the Network of Asian Environmental Philosophy
\nMud\, Islands and Ocean
\nDates: November 5 (Thu) - 6 (Fri)\, 2026 \; \; \; \; \; \; No conference fee\, participation is free.
\nMud\, islands and ocean are places of mixture and changes. Animals and people leave traces in the mud. The NAEP symposium 2026 dives into blue humanities and interrogates the fringes between worlds and aims to explore views in terms of fluidity and process. In the mud\, soil and water shift forms and transform. Boundaries are not clearly apparent. Environmental philosophy forces us to reconsider certain assumptions about clear boundaries delimiting and isolating things\, and mud invites us to this journey.
\nOceans can be places of both encounters and separations\, and \; islands can easily trigger narratives of isolation. Mud involves and interconnects lands and seas. Mud also hosts specific ecosystems and bridges the worlds of different species. But places of mixtures and changes can also be places of tensions\; the encounter between different worlds can unleash clashes about access and belonging. Many struggles about justice unfold in muddy waters.
\nThe NAEP 2026 Online Symposium welcomes contributions from scholars\, practitioners and stakeholders on a broad range of aspects within Asian worldviews\, including but not limited to:
\nSilt\, sand and shells\, changing materialities and temporalities
\nPhilosophies of microbiology and oceanology
\nSea-faring people\, slow living\, Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) and practices
\nJustice and radical approaches to transformation
\nMangroves and coastal ecosystems as protectors from climate change
\nSea level rise and the futures of islands
\nEcofeminism insights on water and birth
\nPhilosophical explorations about natural boundaries\, artificial delimitations\, holism and animism
\nWhale songs and artistic expressions (narratives\, artforms\, storytelling\, memory landscape&hellip\;) related to mud\, islands and ocean in Asian cultures
\nEarly- and mid-career scholars are especially encouraged to send proposals.
\nWe welcome abstracts for individual presentations\, panels\, online posters and workshop proposals. Please submit your 200-250 words abstract with your name\, affiliation and contact informationthrough this form\, by August 16th\, 2026 (or by email toasiaenviphilo@gmail.com).
\nLanguage: The primary language of the conference is English. We aim to be non-native friendly\, so we make it a rule that we speak slow and accessible English. If you would like to present in a language other than English\, please contact us.

\n\n\nAbstract (ab. 420 words)
\n\n\nThe research question of Semantics of Though Experiments (TE) for a unified but nonreductionist theory of TE is answered by a provisional proposal involving four views\, Extended Argument View (TE Matrix\, TE Diagram)\, Extended Logic View (incl. plausibility logic\, possible worlds semantics PWS)\, Descriptive Semantics View and Progress of Science and Society View (incl. global cross-culturalism and environmental pragmaticism).
\n\nFor the skeptics there are proposed Transformation Rules or Substitution Theses to substitute TE by experiments (TR/ST1) and nonmodal arguments (TR/ST2).
\n\nThe Argument View of TE is defended by extension from TE analyses (as syllogisms\, hypotheticals\, reductios\, counterfactuals\, paradoxes) to an Extended Argument View by exemplification of tacit\, contextual or theoretical premises and presuppositions (axioms\, theorems\, derivations in mathematical thought experiments MTE\, regularities\, laws\, epistemological and scientific principles in empirical sciences).
\n\nThe Extended Argument View embraces Extended Logic View including nonclassical logics as probability logic and PWS. We can hold on to tertium non datur for probability logic is a cognitive apparatus and PWS involves theoretical possible worlds PW as available and accessible constituents of theories in mathematics and empirical sciences which satisfy premises and conclusions of TE arguments unto positive truth values (T) on a bivalent logic.
\n\nAs the PW of TE arguments (premises and conclusions) pick out accessible possible worlds (as from \; axioms to principles) unto the argument is both formally and informally logically validated (i.e. logical inference is valid\, premises and conclusions are true&mdash\;so\, argument is sound)\, we don't need to prescribe any forcing formal validation function. (Descriptive Semantics View).
\n\nOn Progress of Science and SocietyView a fallible theory (as after e.g. Karl Popper) is proposed (including error correction in the heuristic process of picking out available and accessible PW) that defines TE as cognitive mental tests designed to resolve (predefined) problems. Subtheses of global cross-culturalism and environmental pragmaticism criticize and substitute cultural\, economic\, moral and scientific biases.
\n\nThe semantic TE theory is successfully applied to over ten examples of TE from mathematics\, philosophy of mind (consciousness studies) and philosophy of natural sciences (classical and relativity physics) with help of TE Matrix\, a TE specific logical notation and procedure\, involving bracketing of TE from [TE]RS\, [TE]BS to [TE]EX \; (resp. restricted\, broad\, extended TE arguments) until TE have been fully developed into valid and sound formal logical arguments.
\n\nIn the research formal logic is applied\, one of the generally acknowledged techniques of AI (Artificial Intelligence) since it is a simulation of human intelligence by mathematical symbolism\, and (possibly after computerization) procedures outlined in this abstract may be considered algorithms.

\n\nTitle: \; \;Was Early Carnap a Machian Neutral Monist?
\n\nAbstract:
\nIn this talk\, I defend the thesis that early Carnap is a Machian neutral monist. To support this thesis\, I mediate between two opposing readings of the relation between Mach and early Carnap: Textor (2021)\, who advances a neutral monistic reading of Carnap&rsquo\;s Aufbau\, and Banks (2003\, 2014)\, who regards Carnap&rsquo\;s Aufbau and Mach&rsquo\;s neutral monism as divergent projects. I argue that the Aufbau does not satisfy the main conditions of Machian neutral monism and that the comparison between Mach and early Carnap with respect to ontological neutrality remains largely underdetermined. I further argue that Carnap&rsquo\;s pre-Aufbau works satisfy the main conditions of Machian neutral monism and support a reading according to which Mach and early Carnap are aligned in their account of ontological neutrality.

What: Analogical Abduction as a Method for Extrapolating Inferences to Consciousness: The Hemispherotomy case
Advances in ethology\, biotechnology\, and artificial intelligence have revived philosophical debates about whether consciousness can be attributed to entities that differ from humans\, both physiologically and functionally. Beyond its conceptual difficulties\, this extrapolation problem raises a logical one: which forms of reasoning are warranted when the target system diverges radically from the source case? I address it in two steps. First\, following Negro and Mudrick (2025)\, I adopt analogical abduction as a method for inferring consciousness beyond typical cases. Second\, I apply it to the case of hemispherotomy\, a neurosurgical treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy in which one hemisphere is left in place but disconnected from the rest of the brain.

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
Fractured Ontologies in Music explores musical forms in which fracture becomes a productive way of organizing musical experience. From the spectral dispersions of the French style brisé\; to the phantomic operations of fantasia and the mutable structures of variation in the Romantic piano repertoire\, music emerges as a field where presence is continually refracted through absence\, interruption\, and excess. Across these perspectives\, the seminar asks how musical forms might resist organic wholeness without simply celebrating its dissolution\, opening instead onto modes of existence that are multiple\, unstable\, and generative.
Session I (&ldquo\;Style Brisé\;&rsquo\;s Ghost: Neither Unity Nor Its Loss\,&rdquo\; with Carlos A. Segovia and a guest contribution by Luigi Attademo) explores how French Baroque music&mdash\;and the lute world within it in particular&mdash\;is an anomaly running perpendicular to the principles of development of modern European music. Neither is architecture in it prior to expression\, as in Renaissance polyphony\, nor does drama determine form\, as in the Italian Baroque&mdash\;the development of these tendencies having resulted in Classicism and Romanticism\, and post-Romanticism having dissolved organic wholeness wherever it emerged. The French style brisé\; or luthé\;&mdash\;which is not merely a style but an aesthetic field with its own affective ontology&mdash\;thus amounts to modernity&rsquo\;s musical ghost. Two ideas define it: the refraction and diffraction of the experienceable. Through them\, harmony and rhythm\, to which melody is subordinated\, disperse into echoes\, delays\, and interruptions\, from the repertoire to the individual note. Music thus becomes spectral: neither does unity precede fragmentation\, nor is fragmentation the effect of its loss\; rather\, fracture itself becomes the condition of its manifestation. Hence\, the French style brisé\; inhabited positively what modernism would seek through negation\, thereby unsettling the narrative of today&rsquo\;s dominant musical aesthetics.
In turn\, Session II (&ldquo\;Fantasia: The Sounding of a Phantom\,&rdquo\; with Gorica Orsholits) examines fantasia: an imagined musical composition that represents the free-form\, improvisational\, and irrational power of imagination through sound\, overcoming the limits of ordinary conceptual thinking. The structure of fantasia is a bridge between the sensory and the supersensory\, where music does not imitate the external world\, but directly expresses the inner essence and movement of consciousness\, ignoring common harmonic structures to achieve hyper-sensual experiences. Fantasia operates through phantasm which represents a phantomic sound operation that exposes the visibility of its being through a disguise\, a phantom\, a non-being. The phantomic event of non-being is a combination of real and completely invented situations where the trace of a presence appears as an absence. The original fantasias were compositions intended for the lute and related string instruments\, and later for keyboard instruments. In Baroque music\, fantasia acquires a more extensive\, technically complex structure while in the classical period\, it appears in more freely-formed sonata movements. In the Romantic period\, it is encountered as the title of various compositions. Fantasia in contemporary music changes shape and embodies musical expressionist melodrama\, speech-songs and forms of dark\, phantasmagoric musical fantasias.
Lastly\, Session III (&ldquo\;The Mutant Sound Object: Paganini-Liszt &\; Variation\,&rdquo\; with Andrea F. de Donato and a guest contribution by Gaia Ferrantini) focuses on the problem of variation. After providing an introductory overview of how the concept of variation can be defined differently in philosophy and musicology\, the session presents a case study of Franz Liszt&rsquo\;s Grandes é\;tudes de Paganini\, S. 141\, from 1851. This work serves as an exemplary case to demonstrate how creative thought and the structuring of a musical style can constitute multiple levels of ontological expressibility. Thus the session begins with a comparative analysis of the 1851 é\;tudes and an earlier version\, published by Liszt in 1838 under the title É\;tudes d&rsquo\;exé\;cution transcendante d&rsquo\;aprè\;s Paganini\, S. 140. Next\, focusing on É\;tude No. 3\, &ldquo\;La Campanella\,&rdquo\; four different modes of variation are identified: functional\, semantic\, sound\, and spatial variation. Supported by specific audio and score excerpts\, key harmonic characteristics are analyzed\, providing the following conclusions: 1. the four modes of variation structure a distinctive sound object&mdash\;not monadic and isolated\, but processual and mutant\; 2. from this sound object\, an ontology based on variation may be derived. Whether and how this variational ontology\, derived from the Paganini-Liszt é\;tudes\, might constitute a fractured ontology is likewise examined.

ABOUT INCITE SEMINARS
We are a mix of rogue scholars\, disgruntled academics\, disenchanted buddhists\, enchantment-hungry anarchists\, radical therapists\, and general weirdos looking to create autonomous and accessible forms of &ldquo\;higher education.&rdquo\;
We offer online seminars and reading groups to incite personal exploration and inspire community action. Incite Seminars offers an educational experience. We do so by gathering an engaged group of participants for a dynamic exchange of ideas\, led by skilled facilitators. All of our facilitators have a deep relationship to a subject or topic through intensive study or practice.
Incite Seminars is a 100% member-supported learning community. We depend on member contributions to continue holding space for radical study and practice groups\, putting on rigorous seminars and courses\, and providing our facilitators and organizers with fair compensation. If you are unable to pay the full amount for a session or membership at this time\, we invite you to join us at reduced or no cost with our Solidarity option.
It is with great pleasure that we announce the call for abstracts for the colloquium &ldquo\;From Leibniz to Kant: Ruptures and Continuities&rdquo\;\, to be held from November 10 to 13\, 2026\, at the Faculty of Philosophy\, Languages\, and Human Sciences of the University of Sã\;o Paulo (FFLCH&ndash\;USP).

Paradigmatic examples include the IAMUS Computer\, which follows an evo-devo approach based on evolutionary algorithms\, and Playform\, a machine learning AI system constituted by a generative adversarial network. Those cases present an apparent problem for the authorship of their musical outcomes insofar as the notion of authorship has been traditionally defined in psychologist terms implying human agency (e.g.\, intentionality\, responsibility\, endorsement et al.) and associated to exclusive authorial rights\, both economic and moral rights. This puzzling situation leads some scholars to look for authorship beyond the causal source of those AI-generated works\, locating it in some human agent like the system programmer\, the user of the AI system or the human authors of works used in training the system. Here\, I will present what I call the simple view on the authorship of AI-generated musical works\, according to which AI systems are the authors of those works in a fullest sense\, assimilating this to the case of human works-for-hire. The simple view is sustained by the identification of a notion of minimal authorship in music that needs not to adopt the psychologist stance to explain the standard role of composers\, in which deflationary notions of intention consistent with AI can do the job. In addition\, the authorial status attributed by the simple view to AI systems detachs them from authorial rights\, but it will be shown that this is a non-revisionary unproblematic consequence since those rights are only contingently attached to authorship. \;

\n\nTitle: \; \;Einstein gaining a foothold in the quantum world\, 1905&ndash\;1925
\n\nAbstract:
\nIn his early work on quantum theory\, Einstein found a number of constraints on a new theory of radiation that would account for various phenomena classical theory could not account for. He found most of these constraints by making sure the thermal behavior of radiation was in accordance with general results in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Similar considerations led him to his quantum theory of the ideal gas\, which helped pave the way for Schrö\;dinger&rsquo\;s wave mechanics.

\nTruth \;is \;a \;central \;notion \;in philosophy and in many related areas of inquiry.Through \;this \;conference\, we aim to provide an opportunity for researchers to debate the concept of truth and related notions. To encourage constructive discussions\, the \;topics \;will \;be \;organised into panels\, allowing participants to engage \;with others who share similar interests. \;

\nPanel1:Truth in Analytic Philosophy (Organisers: Paula Tomi\, Adrian Ludușan)
\nPanel 1\, part A: Truth and other semantic notions
\nIn analytic philosophy\, various theories of truth aim to define the nature of truth and provide a comprehensive account. From substantive theories (such as coherence and correspondence) to deflationary approaches\, each perspective offers distinct strengths and limitations. We welcome presentations that engage with fundamental questions regarding truth and related semantic notions\, including specific kinds of truth such as modal truth. Sample research topics include\, but are certainly not limited to:
\nPanel 1\, part B: Truth and AI
\nIn a society that aims towards knowledge and progress\, truth is an essential concept for distinguishing genuine information from misinformation\, disinformation\, and conspiracy theories. In the context of artificial intelligence (AI)\, we expect systems to provide relevant\, reliable\, and accurate output. Thus\, an AI model must be able to filter false information from accurate data. This panel aims to address - without being limited to - questions such as:
\nPanel 2:Truth \;in/of the Anthropocene (Organiser: Ciprian Bogdan)
\nThe Anthropocene is not only a challenge to our planetary ecological systems (Crutzen and Stoermer 2000)\, but also to our representations of society and nature. These often rely on an ontological divide between social constructions and natural causality (Bonneuil and Fressoz 2013). While continental philosophy has been more willing to trespass (or simply ignore) this divide\, analytic philosophy has mostly remained faithful to it by advancing social ontologies based upon the distinction between &bdquo\;social&rdquo\; and &bdquo\;physical facts&rdquo\; (Searle 1995). Our panel will address several questions without being limited to them:
\nPanel 3:Truth and Ethics (Organiser: Mircea Toboșaru)
\nUnderstanding truth means also understanding our ethical relation to truth. Do we owe the truth to our peers and to ourselves? Does it have instrumental value\, but also intrinsic value\, so that it is our duty to seek\, expand\, and affirm it no matter what? Is there such a thing as moral truth different from scientific truth? If so\, what is their relation? Do our current moral practices depend on a strong \; notion of moral truth? Would they collapse if it disintegrates under philosophical analysis? This panel seeks to explore the horizon of such concerns\, but also other subjects relevant to the connection between truth and ethics.
\nPanel 4: What do we do with the hard truths? Ethical and theoretical challenges for the anthropology of unpleasant realities (Organiser: Ciprian Tudor)
\nSocial scientists may sometimes encounter evidence which could contribute to a negative representation of the people involved in their research. Perhaps some popular stereotypes have some truth to them\, or perhaps they discover new truths that could damage the reputation of their subjects and ethnographic collaborators. What is there to be done about such hard\, inconvenient truths? Should researchers try harder to see the error of their data or interpretations? Or should they keep such ideas to themselves as an ethical act of preventing marginal groups from being further discriminated against? Or\, conversely\, should they disclose everything that comes up in empirical research as a commitment to truth irrespective of the social outcomes of their research? Are &ldquo\;hard truths&rdquo\; an obstacle or a challenge to rethink methodology\, theory and the social use of science? \;
\nThis panel invites contributions from researchers who faced the problem of dealing with &ldquo\;hard truths&rdquo\; in their writing\, academic conversations\, collaborations with state or non-governmental agencies\, or engagement with the general public. We are interested in the personal experience of ethical dilemmas\, the dynamics of social engagement around &ldquo\;hard truths&rdquo\;\, the negotiation of positionality both with academics and informants\, as well as any other forays into the issue of uncomfortable truths. The panel is open to any empirical and/or theoretical contributions coming from anthropology and other social sciences that deal with controversial issues. \;

This huge milestone marks a decade of celebrating the philosophical works of undergraduate students at Western! Over the past decade\, undergraduate students have been fortunate enough to have an active MAP chapter\, dedicated to making space for students with marginalized identities to do very important work. We are proud to continue this tradition\, especially amidst shifting political climates and declining support for academic programs that focus on social justice\, diversity\, and equality for all.
\nUnfortunately\, this is not a space that many undergraduate students have access to at their own institutions. That is why\, in true MAP spirit\, this year\, we will be accepting papers from undergraduate students from all academic institutions. While we are unable to provide funding for travel and lodging expenses for presenters\, a limited number of virtual presentation spots will be available for those who cannot make it in person.
\nIn keeping with MAP&rsquo\;s values and commitments\, we welcome papers that engage with philosophical questions concerning gender\, race\, sexuality\, class\, disability\, and other related areas. These themes can intersect with other areas of philosophy. Although papers must engage with philosophical questions\, applicants need not be majoring\, minoring\, or specializing in philosophy. \; Please note that presentations will be no more than 15 minutes long\, followed by a short Q&\;A period. The authors of accepted papers will be matched up with MAP representatives to help them prepare for the conference. Students are encouraged to submit a relevant term paper from a previous class.
\n
Submissions are expected to meet the following requirements:
Deadline: Email papers to the Western MAP email address: map@uwo.ca by December 11th\, 2026.

10th International Transdisciplinary Symposium
Bioethics and Aporia of Psyche
What do cognitive scientists explain when they explain a behaviour\, and what would count as having explained it? How do computational\, mechanistic\, representational and dynamical accounts of the same phenomenon relate &mdash\; do they compete\, complement one another\, or answer different questions? Where do the methods and models of empirical research come from\, and how well do they fit what they are meant to describe? What\, if anything\, do artificial systems teach us about biological minds?
\nQuestions of this kind keep coming up because there is no shortage of findings about the mind. What is scarce is a clear account of how they hang together\, or whether they do. Modelling the Mind is a seminar series for working that out in the open\, one talk at a time. The aim is to contribute to an empirically informed philosophical understanding of the mind and of the methods by which it is studied.
\nUpcoming talks:

\nFri 16 October 2026 - Matteo Colombo (Tilburg University)
\nThu 12 November 2026 - Dimitri Coelho Mollo (Umeå\; University)

\nThe affective ambivalence of migration privilege
\n\nDate and time: Thursday 12 November 2026\, 16:00&ndash\;17:30 UK/Ireland time\, corresponding to 17:00&ndash\;18:30 Madrid time
\n\nThe notion of privilege has become increasingly prevalent in recent analyses of the marginalization of oppressed minorities. Activists urge increasing number of groups to &ldquo\;check their privilege&rdquo\; &mdash\; for example\, racial or gender privilege &mdash\; and take responsibility for what they find. For a great number of people\, this process can cause unpleasant emotions such as discomfort\, guilt or shame. Thus\, philosophers are devoting more and more attention to the phenomenology and moral psychology of discomfort in these morally-laden contexts\, and a debate has emerged on whether or not discomfort can be morally productive and\, if so\, how best to harness it towards social justice.
\n\nIn this talk\, I focus on a case that is seldom discussed in the literature: discomfort about migration privilege. My aim is to take the first steps towards an account of the moral emotional landscape of this ambiguous form of privilege. In other words\, I seek to map and explore the consequences of the ambivalent feelings that migrants who relocate in comparatively advantaged financial\, legal or cultural conditions experience about their situation. I do this based on the preliminary study of three vignettes from fieldwork among intra-EU migrants\, to show that discomfort about privilege can have\, at least\, two opposing consequences. On the one hand\, it has the counter-productive effect of leading privileged migrants to trying to ignore and neglecting to address their own suffering linked to migratory grief\, for example. Nonetheless\, on the other\, it can increase solidarity and encourage building bridges towards less privileged migrants to improve everyone&rsquo\;s conditions.

UID:20261102T033147Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-5886c7b8db-s9qjx TZID:Europe/Berlin LOCATION:Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1\, Munich\, Germany DESCRIPTION:Event dedicated to the memory of Susan Haack.
\nLogic is often regarded as neutral within a theoretical\, conceptual framework.
\nOn a traditional view\, it is topic-neutral and metaphysically neutral: its laws and principles apply irrespective of subject matter\, abstracting from the particular domains to which they are applied. In this sense\, logic would provide a framework for reasoning independent of what we are reasoning about. Moreover\, as a scientific discipline\, logic is commonly expected to be neutral to social and political commitments. Indeed\, because of its high degree of abstraction\, this may be expected of logic more strongly than of most other disciplines.
\nMeanwhile\, the purely theoretical view on logic faces revisions from research practices through logical devices. Within a practical framework\, some philosophers and logicians have nevertheless questioned whether logic is genuinely neutral. For instance\, some have questioned whether topic-neutrality can be sustained considering debates over logical pluralism\, expressive power\, and domain pertinence. Others have discussed whether logic can\, in practice\, be disentangled from the social and institutional contexts in which it is developed\, taught\, and applied.
\nThis workshop will examine the idea of logical neutrality from multiple perspectives.

Attend in person in room 1008 in the Cathedral of Learning (10th Floor) \; or visit our live stream on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.
\nThe Annual Lecture Series\, the Center&rsquo\;s oldest program\, was established in 1960\, the year when Adolf Grü\;nbaum founded the Center. Each year the series consists of six to eight lectures\, about three quarters of which are given by philosophers\, historians\, and scientists from other universities.

\n\nTitle: \; \;Do neural networks understand what they are doing?
\n\nAbstract: \;
\nIt is often claimed that neural networks construct models of the world (&ldquo\;world models&rdquo\;) and do not merely exploit heuristics. In this sense\, they are said to understand their tasks. But it is not always clear what having a world model amounts to\, or what should count as evidence for or against. In the first half of the talk\, I propose a minimal notion of a world model: a single\, unified representation of a task that preserves its structural relations. I explain how this notion sits within a hierarchy of stronger ones\, and argue that many disputes about world models are merely verbal. In the second half of the talk\, I reassess the standard example of a network using a world model: Othello-GPT\, a transformer widely taken to use a model of the Othello board. I argue that the existing evidence is ambiguous once we adopt the right baselines and the right metrics. I then introduce another kind of evidence that favors the heuristic interpretation: how quickly the network learns variants of Othello that extend rather than scramble the board&rsquo\;s geometry. I end by drawing general lessons for attributing world models to neural networks\, and by describing similar approaches for attributing algorithms and probabilistic inference.
