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 2025-2026 academic year take place on MONDAYS\, 14:30-16:00 Central European Time (CET). The list of speakers is the following (exact dates to be provided soon):
\n- OCTOBER 2025: Luvell Anderson (University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign)
\n- NOVEMBER 2025: Claire Horisk (University of Missouri)
\n- DECEMBER 2025: Xavier Villalba (Autonomous University of Barcelona)

\nIn-person: Faculty of Letters\, University of Porto\, Via Panorâ\;mica s/n
\nOnline: Zoom
\nThis is a biweekly seminar pertaining to the project Slurs and the Lexicon: A Rich-Lexicon Approach to Slurs and Other Evaluative Expressions - LEXISLUR (2023.05952.CEECIND\; PI: Dan Zeman). The main aim of the project is to offer a polysemy account fit for evaluative expressions and to assess to what extent a unified approach to the entire evaluative sphere is feasible. Much work on polysemy can be found in lexical semantics - the branch of semantics that studies the meaning of words\, their internal structure and interrelations\, etc. However\, while the debate about polysemy of various expressions has produced an impressive amount of work\, not much material on the polysemy of evaluative expressions exists in that area. The purpose of this seminar is twofold: first\, to get acquainted with the essential literature on polysemy (via in-person sessions dedicated to reading and discussing the relevant papers)\; second\, to feature current work on polysemy as applied to evaluative expressions (via online talks by invited speakers). In this way\, participants will both acquire knowledge about polysemy in general and see how the discussions in lexical semantics can be applied to the evaluative sphere.

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.
I am excited to share that the \;Reconstructing Carnap Webinar Series \;will resume in \;February 2026! Please find the official flyer attached. All talks will take place from \;4:30 PM to 6:30 PM CET \;(10:30 AM&ndash\;12:30 PM EST).

ORGANIZER;CN=Caterina Del Sordo;CN=Luca Oliva;CN=Silvano Zipoli Caiani: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260516T220934Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260220T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T170000 SUMMARY:Online Bayle Seminar 2026 : Education and Pedagogy in the Philosopher of Rotterdam UID:20260524T025951Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:The \;Online Bayle Seminar \;is a study and research group devoted to the figure of Pierre Bayle. In the very spirit of the &ldquo\;Republic of Letters&rdquo\; so dear to Bayle\, it seeks to be both international and interdisciplinary\, and aims&mdash\;thanks to the possibilities offered by online communication&mdash\;to overcome the divisions between schools and approaches that have sometimes characterized Bayle scholarship. Founded in 2025\, the seminar hosted in its first year a series of talks on various themes in Bayle\, such as atheism\, tolerance\, and the \;Dictionary. It thus provided an opportunity to discover the most recent research on Bayle carried out in Europe as well as in the Americas and Asia.
\nFor this second year\, we have chosen to develop the seminar&rsquo\;s format around a concrete theme through which Bayle&rsquo\;s work and thought&mdash\;and the context in which he evolved&mdash\;will be analyzed. The objective of this new format is to examine the production of the philosopher of Rotterdam in a more systematic way. Sessions will alternate between reading workshops devoted to the study of selected passages circulated beforehand\, and talks on specific topics. The theme for this second year is \;&ldquo\;Education and Pedagogy in Bayle.&rdquo\; \;The seminar will begin in 2026.
\nWhether from a biographical or a philosophical perspective\, the question touches closely upon Bayle&rsquo\;s life and writings. As a child\, Bayle himself suffered from an irregular schooling\, which he recalls in his correspondence and from which he draws lessons in the advice he gives to his brother Joseph. Later\, Bayle served as a teacher for almost his entire adult life. As is well known\, he first worked as a tutor\, in Coppet and Rouen\, and then as a professor at Sedan and Rotterdam. His philosophy courses\, included among the \;Miscellaneous Works\, are well known. His work as a writer and philosopher is marked by questions of education. The prefaces and forewords of his works not only provide information on the author&rsquo\;s status and his relationship to an ideal reader\; they also contain pedagogical reflections that fit more broadly within the theme of education. Likewise\, the project of a \;Journal of the Republic of Letters\, based on reviewing recent publications\, not only demonstrates an interest in erudition but also affirms the possibility of a learned public and the importance of its education. One should not forget the Reformed context in which Bayle pursued his schooling and his teaching: can one detect confessional markers in his reflections on education?
\nOn a political and theological level\, royal legislation concerning the children of the Huguenots raised the issue of the right to educate one&rsquo\;s children according to one&rsquo\;s own religious convictions. Religious controversy during the revocation of the Edict of Nantes also raises the question of the purpose and means of education: should one not &ldquo\;instruct&rdquo\; erring consciences rather than persecute them? At what point can one judge that the other has been sufficiently taught and that his error stems from culpable obstinacy? Can religious truth be taught in the same way to all minds? This question of &ldquo\;pedagogical differentiation&rdquo\; must be correlated in Bayle with his moral anthropology&mdash\;namely\, attention to the place and role of temperament and passions in the psychic and intellectual life of the individual. And this is directly linked to the &ldquo\;prejudices of childhood and education\,&rdquo\; where Bayle explicitly equates childhood and education with those factors that hinder the formation and exercise of a critical mind. Although the secondary literature has at times examined these issues in Bayle\, the question of education as such has been little studied in his work.
\nProgramme:
\nFriday 20 February\, 2:00 pm: Andy Serin (EPHE-PSL and Paris 1 University): \;&ldquo\;Text analysis: education and tolerance in the Supplement to the Philosophical Commentary&rdquo\;

Everybody interested is welcome!
Women have long contributed to the development of theology and philosophy\, yet their voices have often been marginalized\, mediated through restrictive frameworks\, or silenced altogether. At the same time\, women have consistently found innovative means of expression &mdash\; from letters\, diaries\, and poetry to public lectures\, activism\, and today&rsquo\;s digital platforms &mdash\; to engage in theological and philosophical discourse.
This seminar approaches communication not only as a neutral means of expression\, but also as a form of power: the choice of medium\, style\, and platform can grant authority\, negotiate legitimacy\, or challenge dominant structures. From early modern women writing in private correspondence to contemporary digital influencers shaping theological debates\, the act of communication becomes a way to establish intellectual presence\, resist exclusion\, rethink society\, or reshape normative traditions.
The rise of digital culture has introduced new dynamics. Social media\, for example\, can amplify women&rsquo\;s perspectives and create alternative networks of recognition\, while also enabling ideologically charged phenomena &mdash\; such as the &ldquo\;tradwife&rdquo\; movement &mdash\; that recast debates about gender\, religion\, and philosophy. Situating such case studies within longer histories of women&rsquo\;s communicative practices allows us to explore continuities\, ruptures\, and tensions between tradition\, innovation\, and the struggle for authority.
The seminar thus invites critical reflections on the interplay of gender\, communication\, and power\, considering both historical trajectories and contemporary challenges. Contributions may address individual thinkers\, broader cultural movements\, or theoretical frameworks that illuminate how female voices have engaged with and transformed theological and philosophical discourse.

Le Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone\, cré\;é\; en 2024\, vise à\; favoriser une synergie entre celles et ceux qui\, des amateurs aux chercheuses\, fré\;quentent la pensé\;e de Hannah Arendt. 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.

\nTowards a Philosophy of Legal Concepts. Hermeneutic Itineraries in Legal Theory
15 October 2026
Department of Law\, Economics and Sociology
University Magna Græ\;cia of Catanzaro \;(Italy)
Hybrid format (on site and online)
Overview and Aims
\nThe Conference aims to explore the philosophical meaning of legal institutions and concepts\, starting from the idea that the task of the philosophy of law is to investigate the essence of legal phenomena in order to clarify the object of theoretical legal science.
\nThe event proposes a study day devoted to examining the possibility of explaining and justifying\, from a philosophical perspective\, the existence and functioning of legal concepts. Contributors are invited to apply the hermeneutic method&mdash\;understood as a general interpretative criterion rather than a specific philosophical stance&mdash\;and to conduct an inquiry internal to legal practice\, highlighting the nature of legal concepts as &ldquo\;places of meaning&rdquo\; capable of revealing the substance of legal experience.
\nThe Conference seeks to foster an open\, critical\, and interdisciplinary dialogue among different theoretical approaches to the interpretation of legal phenomena\, encouraging a shared reflection on the role of hermeneutics in understanding law and its institutions.
\nSuggested Topics
\nAbstracts may address\, from a theoretical and philosophical perspective\, themes including (but not limited to):
\nthe concept of the cause of contract and its interpretative approaches\;
\ntheories of legal appearance and the relationship between fact and representation\;
\nthe role of general clauses and the transformation of the idea of the legal &ldquo\;system&rdquo\;\;
\nthe philosophical meaning of civil liability and risk allocation in different social models\;
\nbioethical legal issues (surrogacy\, cloning\, abortion\, end-of-life decisions)\;
\nthe philosophical foundations of the concept of citizenship\;
\ntheoretical configurations of sovereignty in light of changing power relations\;
\nthe concept of public interest as a hermeneutic category\;
\nthe legitimation of power and the symbolic function of the Constitution\;
\nthe state of exception as a philosophical-legal category\;
\nthe relationship between norm and value\;
\nlegal language as symbolic mediation\;
\nthe concept of legal personhood\;
\nthe function of judgment and interpretation in legal practice.
\nContributions are particularly welcome from scholars working in philosophy of law and the social sciences\, including epistemological\, ontological\, sociological\, and political-philosophical perspectives\, as well as approaches related to Critical Legal Studies\, Law and Humanities\, Economic Analysis of Law\, and philosophy of economics.
\nTarget Participants
\nThe Conference is addressed to:
\nPhD candidates and PhD holders\;

Online book launch for Compositional Abduction and Scientific Interpretation.
\nThe Philosophy Department of Rutgers University\, Newark is pleased to announce an online book launch for Ken Aizawa&rsquo\;s Compositional Abduction and Scientific Interpretation. The event will take place May 18\, 2026 from 9:00 am &ndash\; 12:00 pm EST. The event will feature the historians and philosophers of science Uljana Feest\, (Universitä\;t Hannover)\, Gualtiero Piccinini (University of Missouri\, Columbia)\, and Samuel Schindler (Aarhus University).
\nEach commentator will offer a 30 minute commentary with a 15 minute response from Aizawa followed by 15 minutes of open Q&\;A. Anyone who would like to attend should email Ken Aizawa at ken.aizawa@gmail.com to be included on the Zoom link invitation.
\nCompositional Abduction and Scientific Interpretation ishere freely available open access from Cambridge University Press.
\nAbout the book
\nAbductive reasoning is a form of inference that infers some hypothesis because of what that hypothesis explains. Unlike deductive reasoning\, it yields a plausible conclusion but does not definitively verify it. The theory of compositional abduction developed in this book provides a novel theory of confirmation. Kenneth Aizawa uses case studies to analyse how scientists interpret the results of experiments to support compositional hypotheses (i.e. hypotheses about what things are composed of) and suggests that they use a kind of abduction. His theory is offered as an alternative account of scientific reasoning that the logical empiricists would have interpreted as hypothetico-deductive confirmation. It is also an alternative to the Peircean interpretation of the role of abduction in science. It will be of interest to philosophers of science\, especially those working on hypothetico-deductive confirmation\, Peirce&rsquo\;s view of abduction\, inference to the best explanation\, and the New Mechanism.

\nEach paper and seminar engages\, in a different way\, with the moral limits of shaping others. The first seminar will focus on a paper by Areti Theofilopoulou (Warwick) that examines the distinction between coercive control and boundary-setting in romantic relationships. The second will discuss a paper by Christie Harley (Georgia State) and Ashley Lindsley-Kim (British Columbia)\, arguing for abortion rights on the grounds that state-enforced pregnancy and childbirth are incompatible with the status of equal citizenship. The third and final seminar will consider a paper by Nanette Ryan (Singapore) and Joshua Lucza (Singapore) which argues that\, in response to the climate crisis\, children&rsquo\;s capacities for responsible\, reflective\, and ethically engaged citizenship should be prioritized over cultivating frugal preferences in children.
\nMonday\, May 4\, 2026: Areti Theofilopoulou (Warwick)\, &ldquo\;Is It Control or Boundary-Setting?&rdquo\;
\nMonday\, May 11\, 2026: Christie Hartley (Georgia State) and Ashley Lindsley-Kim (British Columbia)\, &ldquo\;Equality and the Right to Abortion&rdquo\;
\nMonday\, May 18\, 2026: Nanette Ryan (Singapore)\, &ldquo\;Cultivating Frugal Preferences in Children: A Response to the Climate Crisis&rdquo\; (co-authored with Joshua Lucza)
\nThe seminars will be held online on Mondays at 2.15-3.45 p.m. CET. \;

\nABSTRACT:
\nThis talk presents findings from my earlier paper on sex-related euphemisms in four historically unrelated Asian sign languages: Hong Kong Sign Language\, Jakarta Sign Language\, Sri Lankan Sign Language\, and Japanese Sign Language. The central research question is whether direct visual reference to sex-related body parts or concepts is taboo among Deaf signers\, and\, if so\, what strategies they use to form euphemistic expressions. I will present evidence showing that\, although Deaf signers are accustomed to the visual explicitness of the signing modality\, the highly iconic nature of some sex-related signs can still be offensive\, thus giving rise to euphemistic expressions. While some of these euphemistic strategies aim to reduce the visual iconicity associated with taboo signs\, most closely resemble strategies used in spoken languages\, suggesting that verbal politeness strategies may be universal across language modalities.

\n"Constrained choices: addiction\, attention\, and reasons-responsiveness"
May 18: 11am (Buenos Aires)\; 10am (New York)\; 4pm (Berlin)
Abstract: \;A major challenge for theories of addiction is to explain how the condition drives people's behavior through influencing the way they make choices. In this talk\, I present a view&mdash\;the attentional capture model&mdash\;that addresses this challenge by explaining reduced responsiveness to reasons against using as an outcome of persistent biases in the allocation of internal attention. Building on the extensive empirical literature on attentional biases in addiction\, the model centers on two such biases: preferential retrieval and preferential elaboration. The first affects the process of searching for considerations for or against using drugs\, with the result that considerations that favor drug use come to mind more easily than other considerations. The second is the tendency to maintain attentional focus on drug-related thoughts once they are actively entertained. Both biases tilt the playing field of practical deliberation: considerations against using may fail to be called up or be only transiently entertained as the agent's attention is disproportionately drawn to considerations favoring drug use. This helps explain why people with addiction may end up making choices that conflict with their considered evaluative perspective.

\nDetails: \;From TikTok Tics to Vampire Panics: Notes Towards a Schizoanalytic Theory of Mass Hysteria \;
\nAbstract: \;Contemporary discourses on social media regulation tap into a long history of media pathologisation. These discourses frequently evoke well-established images of media functioning as a vector for social contagion or mass hysteria. In this presentation\, I consider the theoretical presuppositions and cultural history subtending social media regulation debates through the lens of Deleuze and Guattari&rsquo\;s references to mass hysteria cases in A Thousand Plateaus. Through examining Deleuze and Guattari&rsquo\;s allusions to the European vampire panics of the 1730s\, I provide some thoughts towards developing a schizoanalytic theory of mass hysteria. I ask if and how a schizoanalytic theorisation of mass hysteria can re-frame our understanding of social media as a vector for mental contagions.

Maxim Demin - Philosophy\, God-Seeking\, and Developmental Psychology: Stolitsa and Volkovich in Late Imperial Russia
\nThis presentation examines the philosophical project of two largely forgotten Russophone women thinkers\, Zinaida Stolitsa (1873&ndash\;1956) and Vera Volkovich (1873&ndash\;1962). As co-authors and lifelong partners\, they developed a distinctive body of work at the intersection of religious philosophy\, developmental psychology\, and pedagogical reform during the final decades of the Russian Empire. Their voices\, once publicly visible\, were later marginalized and silenced under Soviet rule.Stolitsa and Volkovich strategically used a wide range of media and communicative forms to articulate a female philosophical voice within the early twentieth-century God-Seeking movement. Their collaborative writings\, most notably the manifesto The Future in Our Hands (1909)\, combined speculative religious philosophy with emerging scientific approaches to child psychology. They published philosophical essays\, reviews\, and programmatic statements of their independent society\, and they also participated in international scholarly events in Geneva (1909) and The Hague (1912). These diverse communicative strategies enabled them to claim intellectual authority within discourses traditionally dominated by men. Their reworking of central theological and philosophical concepts\, particularly Stolitsa&rsquo\;s reinterpretation of Man-Godhood\, formulated partly in a one-sided polemic with figures such as Nikolai Berdiaev\, provided a conceptual foundation for their broader agenda of moral\, spiritual\, and national renewal. Their work also contributed to the early twentieth-century feminisation of pedagogical expertise\, placing women at the center of discussions on education and child development. The paper will highlight the paradoxical ideological constellation that shaped their project: an upper-class background combined with conservative moral views\; openness to feminist concerns\; aspirations for international intellectual exchange\; and\, simultaneously\, elements of Russian imperial nationalism and cultural chauvinism on the eve of the First World War. The presentation will also draw on archival photographs and visual materials\, offering a tangible sense of their intellectual and social world.
\nAbout the Speaker: Maxim Demin is a research fellow at the Ruhr University Bochum (Germany). His main interest is post-Hegelian philosophy and its intellectual development in German-speaking countries during the nineteenth century. Before moving to Bochum\, he taught for nearly a decade at the National Research University &ndash\; Higher School of Economics (HSE) in St. Petersburg and Moscow\, offering courses in critical thinking\, philosophy of science\, metaethics\, and moral psychology. His current project explores Russian philosophical and public debates on the emergence of studies of human and animal psychology and mental phenomena\, tracing the transfer of psychological knowledge from the early nineteenth century to the early Soviet regime.
\nPatricia Guevara Wozniak - The Metaphysical Tenacity of Barbara Skarga - Metaphysics in Totalitarianism
\nContrary to twentieth-century proclamations of the &ldquo\;death of metaphysics&rdquo\; and the erosion of truth\, Barbara Skarga persistently defended the metaphysical dimension of human existence. For Skarga\, metaphysicality constitutes the core of being\; its eradication would entail a loss of humanity itself. Her philosophical stance gains particular significance when considered against the backdrop of totalitarian experience\, including her imprisonment in the Gulag.
\nSkarga&rsquo\;s reflection on metaphysics centers on the notion of the source of being\, explored primarily through the categories of time\, evil\, and experience. In a series of philosophical essays\, she emphasizes both the difficulty and the ethical-intellectual value of seeking the origins of being. She critically engages classical conceptions of time&mdash\;physical\, psychological\, and cosmological&mdash\;while foregrounding lived temporality as structured by finitude. Her analysis of evil exposes philosophy&rsquo\;s enduring struggle to comprehend it: as privation of good\, corruption of human nature\, or an inescapable dimension of social violence\, paradoxically accompanied by utopian visions of moral redemption. Addressing experience as a source of being\, she enters into dialogue with thinkers such as Plotinus\, Husserl\, and Heidegger.
\nAfter returning from the Gulag in 1955 and completing her studies\, Skarga joined the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences\, remaining associated with it throughout her career. Although her early academic choices were shaped by Adam Schaff&rsquo\;s centrally planned research agenda\, they ultimately became foundational to her intellectual development and to the formation of the Warsaw School of the History of Ideas.
\nSkarga&rsquo\;s work can be divided into five stages: studies of Polish and French positivism\; research on non-positivist currents in nineteenth-century French philosophy\, culminating in her engagement with Bergson\; a metaphilosophical reflection on the methodology of the history of philosophy\; a &ldquo\;post-critical&rdquo\; metaphysics informed by phenomenology and hermeneutics\; and\, finally\, moral and civic essays affirming the durability of European values. Rather than offering rigid definitions\, Skarga reveals the plurality of meanings and historical configurations through which metaphysical questions persist.
\nAbout the Speaker: Patricia Guevara Wozniak is a Doctor of Humanities in the field of philosophy\, editor\, academic lecturer\, and educator. A graduate of the Academy of Film and Television. She has collaborated with the Academy of Art and Design and with Pedagogium &ndash\; the University of Social Sciences in Warsaw.

What is seeing for? What makes seeing different from remembering\, deciding or imagining? But opportunities for conversation between vision scientists and philosophers are still hard to come by. The phiVis workshop is a forum for promoting and expanding this interdisciplinary dialogue. Philosophers of perception can capitalize on the experimental knowledge of working vision scientists\, while vision scientists can take advantage of the opportunity to connect their research to long-standing philosophical questions.
\nShort talks by philosophers of perception that engage with the latest research in vision science will be followed by discussion with a slate of vision scientists\, on topics such as probabilistic representation in perception\, perceptual constancy\, amodal completion\, multisensory perception\, visual adaptation\, and much more.

UID:20260524T030032Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London LOCATION:The Advanced Research Centre (ARC)\, Glasgow\, United Kingdom DESCRIPTION:Major sporting events can be ethically charged. They may be hosted by fascist regimes\, as a way to gain a perception of legitimacy on the world stage. Notably\, the 1936 Olympic games was hosted by Nazi Germany\, and opened by Adolf Hitler. More recently\, the FIFA World Cup in 2018 was hosted by Russia\, only a few years after their 2014 annexation of Crimea\, and before their recent invasion of Ukraine. The following World Cup was also extremely controversial\, because of Qatar&rsquo\;s human rights record\, and the environmental and human cost of the stadium construction\, with an estimates that over 6\,500 workers died in inhumane working conditions. \; The practice of using sporting competitions to launder a regime&rsquo\;s reputation has been described as sportswashing (e.g.\, Fruh\, Archer and Wojtowicz 2023).
\n\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Competitions like this raise serious ethical questions. Should the athletes involved speak out against the regime? Should companies withdraw sponsorship? Should sports teams or national associations refuse to participate? Given the significant cost of actions of this sort\, can other measures - short of boycotts - be justified? And what should fans do? Knowing that their behaviour may make no difference (particularly if they just watch on TV)\, they may find themselves torn\, and wonder whether there really is any reason to avoid watching. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup\, hosted in the USA\, Canada and Mexico\, these questions are as timely as ever. The USA will host the majority of the matches in this tournament\, and many have suggested that Trump&rsquo\;s America is sliding towards fascism.
\nThis workshop will bring together experts in applied ethics\, philosophy of sport\, business ethics and political philosophy. Respondents (TBA) will provide a commentary for each paper\, before a Q&\;A. \;

\n\n"Can concepts be non-ideal?&rdquo\;
\n\nThe sort of non-ideal theorising that is useful to educators aims &lsquo\;to guide a decision that will make institutions more just&rsquo\; (Brighouse\, 2026\, p.84). This sort of theorising can be a valuable instrument to help practitioners and policy makers think through the complex ethical dilemmas they face in highly constrained circumstances. Ameliorative conceptual analysis is a methodology that considers the normative purposes of concepts\, and engineers concepts that best meet those ends. Since ameliorative conceptual analysis is guided by normative ends\, it makes sense to think that some of those normative ends derive from non-ideal theorising. This paper asks about the relationship between non-ideal theorising and ameliorative conceptual analysis. I argue that while non-ideal theorising can justify a broad range of decisions and actions in educational policy and practice\, concepts are less malleable. This is because of the role that concepts play in our ability to think. I use the examples of gender and race to show that non-ideal theorising might permit a range of decisions about whether to address or omit these concepts from the curriculum\, but it does not permit engineering non-ideal concepts\, even if these help to evade the constraints faced by decision makers. Finally\, I consider how far a concept can be engineered to evade constraints without going too far.
\n\nThe seminar will be held online. Please email philip.cook@ed.ac.uk for the link to join.

\n\n"Can concepts be non-ideal?&rdquo\;
\n\nThe sort of non-ideal theorising that is useful to educators aims &lsquo\;to guide a decision that will make institutions more just&rsquo\; (Brighouse\, 2026\, p.84). This sort of theorising can be a valuable instrument to help practitioners and policy makers think through the complex ethical dilemmas they face in highly constrained circumstances. Ameliorative conceptual analysis is a methodology that considers the normative purposes of concepts\, and engineers concepts that best meet those ends. Since ameliorative conceptual analysis is guided by normative ends\, it makes sense to think that some of those normative ends derive from non-ideal theorising. This paper asks about the relationship between non-ideal theorising and ameliorative conceptual analysis. I argue that while non-ideal theorising can justify a broad range of decisions and actions in educational policy and practice\, concepts are less malleable. This is because of the role that concepts play in our ability to think.

In 2022\, the Collins dictionary named &lsquo\;sportswashing&rsquo\; one of their ten Words of the Year\, reflecting the extent of public discussion of the term in the run-up to the 2022 Men&rsquo\;s Football World Cup in Qatar. The term is used as a criticism of owners of clubs or hosts of competitions and has established a foothold in both journalistic and academic work. But there has been very little academic discussion of what exactly sportswashing \;is \;or why it \;matters. \;
\nIn \;The Ethics of Sportswashing\, \;Kyle Fruh\, Alfred Archer\, and Jake Wojtowicz take on a few main aims:
\nArguing for a clear and workable concept of sportswashing\, which explains why sportswashing is \;distinctive \;from other issues while showing how it relates to them (e.g. other exercises of soft power).
\nDefending the concept of sportswashing against critiques that it is a xenophobic concept wielded solely against Arab states. \;Exploring whether the concept should be applied more widely.
\nExplaining why sportswashing is wrong. The arguments of the book will use real-world cases in showing how sportswashing corrupts institutions and sporting values\, how it exploits an inescapable vulnerability of caring about sports\, and how it renders players\, fans\, and others complicit.
\nOffering a constructive picture of how moral responsibility for confronting sportswashing can be taken up by various parties.
\nInvited contributors to this workshop will offer comments and critiques\, to which the authors will respond. There will also be time for general discussion of the book and its topics. \;
\nCommentators include:
\nThe workshop will be hosted at Glasgow University and online\, on May 21st 2026. The workshop will run 1pm-5pm local time. \; \;

\nDiego Feinmann
\n(IPI PAN)
\nwill deliver a talk:
\nReassessing the Link between Relevance and Informativeness
\nAbstract:
\nThe dominant view in cognitive science and formal pragmatics is that relevance is a matter of informativeness: a sentence is relevant if it is informative\, and irrelevant otherwise. In this talk\, I consider both non-probabilistic and probabilistic approaches to relevance\, and conclude that\, insofar as they entail that informativeness is a necessary condition for relevance\, they are bound to fail: it is possible for a sentence to be uninformative and yet be perceived as a relevant contribution. Time permitting\, I will also discuss some experimental work on this topic (forthcoming\, with Sonia Ramotowska).
\nAbout the speaker:
\nDiego Feinmann is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences\, where his research focuses on the formal semantics and pragmatics of natural language. His publication record includes work in leading venues such as Journal of Semantics\, Linguistics and Philosophy\, Snippets\, Journal of Logic\, Language and Information\, and Journal of Psycholinguistic Research. Across papers on homogeneity and vagueness\, domain restriction\, relevance\, and non-maximality\, his work combines technical precision with a strong feel for foundational questions at the semantics&ndash\;pragmatics interface.

\nWe welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines\, including but not limited to:
\nKeyspeakers will be announced in March 2026.
\nAbstracts must be 500 words or less and prepared for blind review. To submit abstracts please fill out our submission form at [https://uanalyticon.ru/index.en.html]. The deadline for abstract submissions is March 31\, 2026. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by April 30\, 2026.
\nOfficial conference languages: Russian\, English.
\nPlease note that online participation is possible only for the talks in English.
\nThe participation is free of charge. Unfortunately\, the Organizing Committee has no available funds for covering transport and accommodation. Participants are responsible for covering travel expenses.

Mihail Kogălniceanu\, no. 1\, Cluj-Napoca\, Romania DESCRIPTION:CFP &ndash\; The Sixth International Conference for Doctoral Students in Philosophy
\nWhat Makes Sense?
\nThe Sixth International Conference for Doctoral Students in Philosophy examines the multiple meanings of sense and other related concepts across the history of philosophy. From Antiquity to contemporary thought\, the conference seeks to explore how these notions have been used to clarify and interpret philosophical discourse\, to reshape and critically assess traditional philosophical narratives\, to displace old beliefs and truths and even to beget new ones in the wake of the so-called &lsquo\;crisis of meaning&rsquo\;. Whether understood as an experience lived on an individual level\, as a feature of human language\, or as the action or result of the perceiving and knowing faculties\, sense remains a central notion in philosophical thinking. Conceived as the outcome of a hermeneutical interpretation\, as an end towards which actions should be oriented\, or as an axiological value attributed to different events\, the notions of purpose and meaning can be sought. Doctoral students are invited to engage with the various interpretations and uses of the notion of sense and related concepts by addressing questions such as: What can philosophical traditions teach us about the analysis of sense and meaning in relation to human discourse? How does the notion of sense relate to the individual\, to human values\, actions\, and social realities? In what way do philosophical theories confer sense upon historical events\, and what ethical and political implications arise from such undertakings? How does the notion of sense relate to our aesthetic experiences\, attitudes\, and sensibilities? In what manner is the act of investing or finding sense relevant for the knowing subject within a phenomenological or epistemological framework? Finally\, can philosophy still be a source of meaning for individuals in a world frequently depicted as being in crisis?
\nDetails
\nThe Doctoral School of Philosophy\, Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca\, invites submissions for the sixth instalment of the International Conference for Doctoral Students in Philosophy that is going to take place on May 22-23\, 2026.

UID:20260524T030052Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/Bucharest LOCATION:Splaiul Independentei nr. 204\, Bucharest\, Romania\, 060024 DESCRIPTION:What counts as scientific understanding in cognitive science is a surprisingly unsettled and unexplored question. Its relevance is amplified not only by the advances in artificial intelligence\, neuroscience\, but also by the rise of interdisciplinary research (Weston et al.\, 2020) and the expansion of interdisciplinary programs in higher education \;(Rana et.al.2025). Although the central question of the conference targets cognitive science especially\, we cover interdisciplinary science as well.
\nCompeting scientific frameworks (symbolic\, connectionist\, representationalist\, enactive\, embodied and others) usually offer divergent accounts of &ldquo\;cognition&rdquo\;. This makes the issue of understanding more pressing now that AI models produce outputs that suggest passing False Belief Tasks\, Empathy scales\, being used for therapy (therapy bots)\, solving scientific problems\, echoing classic philosophical challenges and renewing debates about whether performance reflects genuine understanding. \;Here are the conference panels with the main topics:
\nScientific understanding in cognitive science
\nScientific understanding and interdisciplinarity
\nBenchmarking scientific understanding
\n\;The conference will take place on the 22nd\, 23rd and 24th of May\, 2026 at the University of Bucharest\, Faculty of Philosophy. Regular presentations will be 30 minutes long\, followed by 20 minutes Q&\;A.

From then\, until he publically aligned himself with National Socialism in 1933\, Heidegger's thinking underwent major development.
ECHS invites abstracts for papers which seek to illuminate important aspects of Heidegger's thinking between those two points in time.
\nPossible topics include but are not limited to:
\n&ndash\; Discussion of the so-called "Kant Buch" (Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics)
\n&ndash\; The 1929 lecture series The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics: World - Finitude - Solitude
\n&ndash\; The Beginning of Western Philosophy (GA 35)
\nEach presentation of a paper should be between 30-45 minutes\, and the time allotted to each is 60 minutes. Please submit a title\, short summary\, and short biographical information before 1st May\, 2026.

We cordially invite you to a talk by Tamara Dobler \;(Free University of Amsterdam) entitled "Derogation by Co-composition: Nominal Structure and Evaluative Meaning" \;(see the abstract below). The event takes place online on Friday\, MAY 22\, 11.00-12.30 Western European Summer Time (WEST). Please write to danczeman@gmail.com for the Zoom link.
\nAll welcome!
\nASBTRACT:
\nSlurs and other derogatory expressions are strikingly concentrated in nominal constructions. This talk examines a systematic contrast between adjectival and nominal uses of the same lexical item (i.e.\, cross-categorial polysemy):
\n(1) \;Charlie is gay/Black/disabled
(2) \;Charlie is a gay/a Black/a disabled
While the lexical root is held constant\, nominal constructions readily acquire derogatory or expressive interpretations. Existing accounts explain this contrast in terms of kind reference and essentialism: nominal constructions ascribe membership in a kind and thereby encourage essentializing interpretations (Ritchie 2021\; Neufeld 2019\; see Koch 2023\; Schaden and Gasparri 2026).
\nI propose an alternative co-compositional account inspired by the Generative Lexicon framework (Pustejovsky 1995\; see also Zeman 2025\; Popescu and Zeman\, \;forthcoming). The central claim is that derogation emerges from the interaction between lexical roots and count nominal structure. Roots are associated with heterogeneous conceptual content\, including socially shared beliefs and stereotypes\, some of which may carry evaluative or discriminatory content. Count nominal categorisers\, by contrast\, impose individuation and kind-based classification\, requiring relatively stable criteria for category membership. Through co-composition\, salient evaluative associations can thereby become category-constitutive. In other words\, co-composition with count nominal structure converts salient evaluative associations into criteria for category membership.
\nThis explains why nominal constructions tend to promote derogatory interpretations\, whereas adjectival predication merely attributes a property without the same classificatory force. More generally\, the proposal argues that the perceived evaluative meaning is not purely lexical\, but emerges from the interaction between lexical content and grammatical structure. \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;

The conference is organized by members of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Warsaw and is co-financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange. \;To register (free of charge) and receive the Zoom link\, please email womanhumanprogress@gmail.com.
\nThe conference aims to examine the Enlightenment ideal of human progress and its influence on socio-political and educational reforms of this era\, as well as to bring to light the work of understudied\, early feminist thinkers who argued against the gendered nature of this ideal. Accordingly\, the conference will center on the following three topics: The Enlightenment Ideal of the Development of Humanity and Rational Progress\; Pedagogical reforms of the Enlightenment\; Early feminist contestations of the gendered conception of becoming enlightened in Poland and Germany: a comparative approach. \;The event will feature keynote talks by professors renowned for their expertise in these fields\, including Corey Dyck (University of Western Ontario)\, Robert Louden (University of Southern Maine)\, Charlotte Sabourin (Douglas College)\, and Anna Tomaszewska (Jagiellonian University).

ORGANIZER;CN=Olga Lenczewska;CN="Elżbieta Filipow";CN=Kinga Elert: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260516T220934Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T150000 SUMMARY:Online Bayle Seminar 2026 : Education and Pedagogy in the Philosopher of Rotterdam UID:20260524T030105Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:The Online Bayle Seminar is a study and research group devoted to the figure of Pierre Bayle. In the very spirit of the &ldquo\;Republic of Letters&rdquo\; so dear to Bayle\, it seeks to be both international and interdisciplinary\, and aims&mdash\;thanks to the possibilities offered by online communication&mdash\;to overcome the divisions between schools and approaches that have sometimes characterized Bayle scholarship. Founded in 2025\, the seminar hosted in its first year a series of talks on various themes in Bayle\, such as atheism\, tolerance\, and the Dictionary. It thus provided an opportunity to discover the most recent research on Bayle carried out in Europe as well as in the Americas and Asia.
\nFor this second year\, we have chosen to develop the seminar&rsquo\;s format around a concrete theme through which Bayle&rsquo\;s work and thought&mdash\;and the context in which he evolved&mdash\;will be analyzed. The objective of this new format is to examine the production of the philosopher of Rotterdam in a more systematic way. Sessions will alternate between reading workshops devoted to the study of selected passages circulated beforehand\, and talks on specific topics. The theme for this second year is &ldquo\;Education and Pedagogy in Bayle.&rdquo\; The seminar will begin in 2026.
\nWhether from a biographical or a philosophical perspective\, the question touches closely upon Bayle&rsquo\;s life and writings. As a child\, Bayle himself suffered from an irregular schooling\, which he recalls in his correspondence and from which he draws lessons in the advice he gives to his brother Joseph. Later\, Bayle served as a teacher for almost his entire adult life. As is well known\, he first worked as a tutor\, in Coppet and Rouen\, and then as a professor at Sedan and Rotterdam. His philosophy courses\, included among the Miscellaneous Works\, are well known. His work as a writer and philosopher is marked by questions of education. The prefaces and forewords of his works not only provide information on the author&rsquo\;s status and his relationship to an ideal reader\; they also contain pedagogical reflections that fit more broadly within the theme of education. Likewise\, the project of a Journal of the Republic of Letters\, based on reviewing recent publications\, not only demonstrates an interest in erudition but also affirms the possibility of a learned public and the importance of its education. One should not forget the Reformed context in which Bayle pursued his schooling and his teaching: can one detect confessional markers in his reflections on education?
\nOn a political and theological level\, royal legislation concerning the children of the Huguenots raised the issue of the right to educate one&rsquo\;s children according to one&rsquo\;s own religious convictions. Religious controversy during the revocation of the Edict of Nantes also raises the question of the purpose and means of education: should one not &ldquo\;instruct&rdquo\; erring consciences rather than persecute them? At what point can one judge that the other has been sufficiently taught and that his error stems from culpable obstinacy? Can religious truth be taught in the same way to all minds? This question of &ldquo\;pedagogical differentiation&rdquo\; must be correlated in Bayle with his moral anthropology&mdash\;namely\, attention to the place and role of temperament and passions in the psychic and intellectual life of the individual. And this is directly linked to the &ldquo\;prejudices of childhood and education\,&rdquo\; where Bayle explicitly equates childhood and education with those factors that hinder the formation and exercise of a critical mind. Although the secondary literature has at times examined these issues in Bayle\, the question of education as such has been little studied in his work.

\n«\;uAnalytiCon-2026: Unversals and Objects»\;\,
\nwhich takes place on May 22-23\, 2026
\nOur upcoming uAnalytiCon-2026 will focus on a variety of issues connected to the traditional debate about the relationships between universals and objects. We plan to discuss the questions concerning what types of universals are\, how to distinguish between properties and relations as well as between events and states\, what existence and identity conditions are appropriate for each of these\, and whether one needs to posit a distinct category of tropes as abstract entities.
\nWe welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines\, including but not limited to:
\nKeyspeakers will be announced in March 2026.
\nAbstracts must be 500 words or less and prepared for blind review. To submit abstracts please fill out our submission form at [https://uanalyticon.ru/index.en.html]. The deadline for abstract submissions is March 31\, 2026. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by April 30\, 2026.
\nOfficial conference languages: Russian\, English.
\nPlease note that online participation is possible only for the talks in English.
\nThe participation is free of charge. Unfortunately\, the Organizing Committee has no available funds for covering transport and accommodation. Participants are responsible for covering travel expenses.

\nSlowly crystallizing throughout the 20th century and popularized in the 1980s\, chaos theory is a loosely defined set of transdisciplinary scientific research that cuts through virtually every branch of disciplinary sciences\, and even the humanities: for the butterfly effect applies not only to tornadoes but also to the stock exchange\, and self-organization is not limited to ants and termite architecture (termite mounds!)\, but is a crucial element in revolutionary movements\; bifurcation does occur in trees\, but also in decisions humans take\, and vast complexity takes shape in migrating populations\, but no less in the human brain. In short\, chaos theory turns out to be so universal that we might be in the making of an entirely &ldquo\;new science\,&rdquo\; as some authors claim\, or at least of a new paradigm beyond reductionism\, calling for a new metaphysics.
\nBut in talking this way\, are we not confusing chaos theory with cybernetics\, yet another field of transdisciplinary research that originated in the 1940s and as well functions with feedback loops? &hellip\; A total system of control that Heidegger had warned against?
\nWe can never know for sure. In this seminar\, we will treat chaos theory as the flipside of cybernetics\, arguing for unpredictability against control\, for freedom against determinism. For no matter how &ldquo\;adaptive&rdquo\; cybernetic systems may appear to capture each and every step we take\, chaos is essentially ungraspable and always one step further than the system.
\nCOURSE MATERIALS
\nSince the material on chaos theory is vast and at times not easy to digest\, we will focus on some key texts that initially gave shape to the wicked world of chaos theory. While chaos theory is a holistic set of co-dependent concepts which cannot be analyzed in isolation\, each session will zoom in on one of these concepts while maintaining its relations to the whole.
\nPDFs of all the readings will be provided upon registration. No prior knowledge is required.
\nTIME
\n5 SATURDAYS\, weekly\, beginning May 23\, 2026.
1-3 PM \;Eastern US Time.
SESSIONS
\nFACILITATOR
\nHaving lived and studied all around the world\, Hannes Schumacher works at the threshold between philosophy and art. He has carried out intensive research on Hegel and Deleuze\, and he has also published widely on Nishida\, Nāgārjuna\, chaos theory\, global mysticism\, and contemporary art. Hannes is the founder of the Berlin-based publisher Freigeist Verlag and co-founder of the grassroots art space Chaosmos &infin\; in Athens\, Greece. He has facilitated the following courses and groups at Incite Seminars: &ldquo\;Nishida Kitarō: The Logic of Place and the Religious Worldview&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Who&rsquo\;s Afraid of Hegel: Introduction to G. W. F. Hegel&rsquo\;s Science of Logic&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Chaos Research Group&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Reading After Finitude by Quentin Meillassoux&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Deleuze &\; Guattari: What is Philosophy?&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Plato&rsquo\;s chô\;ra through the lens of Derrida&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Anarchia and Archai: Reimagining the Pre-Socratics&rdquo\; (with Carlos A.

\nINCITE SEMINARS
\nWe 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\;
\nWe 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.
\nIncite 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.
