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)

\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).
The webinar can be accessed via the following link: https://meet.google.com/uaq-jqpf-mwr

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.
\nN'hé\;sitez pas à\; rejoindre le ré\;seau ou à\; nous contacter pour rejoindre l&rsquo\;é\;quipe d&rsquo\;animation !

\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. Segovia)\; &ldquo\;Reading Nietzsche&rsquo\;s Zarathustra&rdquo\; (current)\; &ldquo\;Liana of the Resurrected&rdquo\;\; and &ldquo\;The Body without Organs.&rdquo\;
\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.

We want to examine these terms as much as possible\, from many perspectives and variable aspects: in politics\, society\, psychology\, culture\, and many more. We also want to devote considerable attention to how the phenomena of racism\, nationalism and xenophobia are represented in artistic practices: in literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts.
\nOur first conference on racism\, nationalism and xenophobia took place in Warsaw in March 2016. The second edition was held in June 2018\, followed by subsequent editions in 2020\, 2021\, 2022\, 2023\, 2024\, and 2025. We have hosted over 250 scholars representing universities and research institutions from all over the world. \;
\nWe invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: history\, politics\, psychology\, sociology\, anthropology\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, fine arts\, design\, memory studies\, migration studies\, consciousness studies\, dream studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, psychiatry\, psychoanalysis\, cognitive sciences among others.
\nDifferent forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical investigations\, problem-oriented arguments\, and comparative analyses.
\nWe will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers\, as well as doctoral students. We also invite all individuals who wish to attend the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
\nWe hope that due to its interdisciplinary nature\, the conference will bring many interesting observations on and discussions about the role of racism\, nationalism and xenophobia in the past and in the present-day world. \;

\nAbstract
\nPeople vary substantially in how they describe their thoughts: many report near-constant inner monologue and vivid visual imagery\; some report sporadic and condensed inner speech\; others report a near-absence of inner speech\, often coupled with little visual imagery and claims of &ldquo\;thinking in concepts.&rdquo\; I will first address the possibility that these reports are mere confabulations\, and argue that although it is possible to be wrong about one&rsquo\;s own subjective experience\, there is good reason to think these differences are real\, as evidenced by the internal reliability and predictive validity of people&rsquo\;s reports. I will then consider whether people think in different representational formats\, and make an initial case that while thoughts have conceptual roles\, the question of their representational format may be a category error.

\nAbstract: According to Barnes&rsquo\; solidarity model of disability\, S is physically disabled in C iff S is in some bodily state X and the rules for solidarity employed by the disability rights movement classify X in C as among the conditions the movement is seeking to promote justice for. This model is attractive because: \;(i) it does not imply that being disabled is other things equal bad\; (ii) it gives disabled people&rsquo\;s testimony significant weight in determining what it is to be disabled\, and (iii) it avoids counter-examples to alternative models. However\, many have argued that the solidarity model is objectionably arbitrary due to its reliance on the rules employed by the current disability rights movement. This paper proposes a normative model of disability that it argues can preserve attractions (i-iii) and avoid the arbitrariness problem. On the normative model\, S is disabled in C iff S has X and the rules for treating people as disabled that we morally ought to accept and use in normal conditions hold that someone with X in C is to be treated as disabled. This paper also raises new problems for other recent accounts of disability which it argues that the normative model avoids.

Many constructs&mdash\;emotion\, memory\, attention\, intelligence\, disorder&mdash\;are still treated as if they were stable\, homogeneous\, mind‑independent natural kinds with latent quantitative essences\, even as empirical work reveals pervasive heterogeneity\, context‑sensitivity\, and replication failure across domains such as affective neuroscience\, psychopathology\, and social cognition. At the same time\, related debates in the philosophy of biology\, metaphysics\, and cognitive ontology emphasize conceptual relativity and the need to re‑engineer scientific categories in light of concept‑laden evidence.
\nThis conference asks what follows for \;measurement \;and \;classification \;if psychological and psychiatric categories are better understood as populations of variable\, situated instances or relational patterns\, rather than as tokens of fixed types. How should we think about constructs\, latent variables\, and diagnostic entities if variation is ontologically primary and averages are statistical abstractions? When do our instruments partially constitute the phenomena they purport to detect? To what extent do replication &ldquo\;failures&rdquo\; reveal construct instability or ontological mismatch rather than methodological error?
\nWe invite contributions from philosophy of psychology and psychiatry\, philosophy of cognitive science\, philosophy of biology\, metaphysics and metametaphysics\, as well as empirically oriented work in psychology\, psychiatry\, and neuroscience that engages these conceptual issues. Topics include\, but are not limited to: cognitive and psychiatric ontology\; natural kinds\, homeostatic property clusters and relational or internal realism\; measurement theory\, psychometrics and the &ldquo\;quantitative imperative&rdquo\;\; classification and re‑classification in psychiatry and cognitive science (e.g.\, RDoC\, HiTOP)\; construct instability and the replication crisis\; predictive processing and constructionist theories of mind and emotion\; and the concept‑ladenness of evidence and data‑driven ontology re‑engineering.
\nOur aim is to articulate and critically assess conceptual frameworks that could underpin a &ldquo\;variation‑first&rdquo\; science of mind\, in which explanation\, generalization\, and measurement are explicitly aligned with the heterogeneous\, context‑bound phenomena they target.
\nThe conference is organised by the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Bucharest\, and is open to \;MA and PhD students\, early PhDs and postdocs\, as well as established researchers in philosophy of psychology\, psychiatry\, cognitive science\, philosophy of biology\, and related empirical fields.

Mobilisant des travaux en philosophie des sciences infirmiè\;res\, elle expose comment l&rsquo\;institution impose une pensé\;e binaire à\; travers des oppositions factices qui ré\;duisent la complexité\; du soin à\; une somme de tâ\;ches mesurables et dé\;personnalisé\;es.

Le post-critique comme symptôme UID:20260610T055555Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/Paris LOCATION:57 bis\, rue Pierre Tattinger\, Reims\, France DESCRIPTION:La critique occupe depuis longtemps une place centrale dans les sciences humaines et sociales\, constituant un outil privilé\;gié\; pour analyser les rapports de pouvoir\, dé\;voiler les idé\;ologies et remettre en question les normes é\;tablies. Cependant\, des interventions thé\;oriques ré\;centes\, notamment les travaux de Bruno Latour et les perspectives diverses regroupé\;es sous l&rsquo\;é\;tiquette de la postcritique\, ont mis en doute l&rsquo\;efficacité\; et les limites des approches critiques traditionnelles. Le tournant postcritique soutient qu&rsquo\;un accent mis sur la dé\;mystification\, souvent caracté\;risé\; par une «\; hermé\;neutique du soupç\;on »\;\, peut conduire à\; projeter une forme de naï\;veté\; sur autrui et à\; né\;gliger les enchevê\;trements complexes qui constituent le ré\;el. En appelant à\; «\; prendre au sé\;rieux ce que les gens racontent »\;\, plutô\;t que de nier ces ré\;cits pour atteindre une couche caché\;e du «\; ré\;el »\;\, une telle approche empirique semble plus proche de l&rsquo\;expé\;rience vé\;cue. Mais cette conception de la critique rend-elle compte du projet originel porté\; par ce terme ? Autrement dit\, la critique est-elle ré\;ellement «\; à\; court de carburant ? »\; (Latour).

Jahrhundert vollzieht sich eine ä\;sthetische Wende im Denken. Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten stellt das sinnliche Denken als eigenstä\;ndige Form der Erkenntnis neben die Logik &ndash\; mit weitreichenden Folgen fü\;r die akademische Philosophie und Gesellschaft. Der Vortrag entfaltet diese historische Entwicklung und fragt nach ihrer gegenwä\;rtigen Bedeutung. Wenn Kü\;nstliche Intelligenz analytische und kombinatorische Denkprozesse zunehmend ü\;bernimmt\, kö\;nnte sich die Aufgabe des Denkens verschieben &ndash\; ä\;hnlich wie die Malerei nach der Erfindung der Fotografie: weg von bloß\;er Abbildung und dem Bemü\;hen nach Klarheit\, hin zu Stimmung\, Sinnstiftung und Selbstverwandlung.

Therefore\, Conceptualising the Self aims to bring together researchers working in fields such as (but not limited to): philosophy\, cognitive science\, psychology\, neuroscience\, sociology\, anthropology\, in order further our understanding and promote interdisciplinary dialogue concerning novel developments that have implications for how the self is conceived.
\nWe encourage contributions addressing the following questions:

\nAbstract: In 2023 artist/scientist Michelle Huang fed selections from her childhood diaries to GPT-3\, creating a chatbot version of her younger self with whom she had an extensive conversation. In this talk\, I reflect on Huang&rsquo\;s experiment as a jumping off point for thinking about diachronic self-experience. I identify two distinct goals Huang describes for this conversation\, determining what her younger self would think of how her life turned out and furthering her &ldquo\;inner child&rdquo\; work\, and argue that these goals presuppose very different views of our sense of self-in-time. Both views are widespread in philosophy and in everyday thought. I consider what the fact that both seem so well-entrenched suggests for our diachronic nature\, sketching a view according to which our characteristic sense of self-in-time derives from our ongoing negotiation of these two different forms of self-understanding. Although these conclusions do not rest directly on use of technology in Huang&rsquo\;s conversation\, the role played by AI makes the conclusions I draw easier to see and adds some new wrinkles.

Abstract:
I will present a view of gaps in praiseworthiness (known as AI achievement gaps).
This view accepts that such gaps are a genuine concern but also shows that they can be
filled. This activity of &ldquo\;filling a gap&rdquo\;\, however\, requires stretching certain concepts (such as
collective\, vicarious\, or proxy responsibility) beyond their standard boundaries. Doing so\, this
approach allows for ascribing responsibility for the good (or even neutral) outcomes of AI
systems to human stakeholders.

Kevin Richardson - Fear of Social Indeterminacy
On Monday 1 June 2026\, Kevin Richardson (Duke University) will give a presentation in the Collective Ethics Seminar entitled &lsquo\;Fear of Social Indeterminacy&rsquo\;.
Abstract: Social norms and policies are often built around determinate social category classifications. For example\, the black/white\, male/female\, straight/gay binaries are often taken to be absolute classifications. When determinate classification schemes are violated\, there is often widespread social fear and panic. This fear could be described as fear of social indeterminacy\, but it is tricky to determine what such fear could amount to. A person can fear a determinate object or event\, or they can experience uncertainty-induced fear\, but it is unclear what it means for them to fear indeterminacy itself. In this presentation\, I argue that fear of social indeterminacy is often best understood as the fear of metaphysical indeterminacy. If I am correct\, metaphysical indeterminacy can play an explanatory role in the context of ordinary\, object-directed emotions.
The online seminar is open for all to attend. The session starts at 15.15 CEST / 09.15 EST. You can join the session via the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/62736288881?pwd=SndEdTNoNlZtSzJqcmpabm5NaWIyUT09

\nJake Nicholas Brooks - Autonomy Beyond Kant: Butler\, Tronto\, and Interdependence
\nThe aim of this contribution is to highlight - from a standpoint of intersectional critique &ndash\; the limitation of the Kantian conception of autonomy\, grounded on a male and autonomous subject\, that has shaped Western philosophical and theological discourses. The contribution will develop along two complementary lines. First\, drawing on Butler&rsquo\;s critique of the State of Nature tradition\, it will show how the subject of modern philosophy has always been conceived as already adult\, male\, and autonomous\, thus masking the condition of dependency inherent to human beings. Butler&rsquo\;s analysis reveals how this framework is produced through exclusions of those identities\, which are shaped by gender oppression and racialization. Butler&rsquo\;s work demonstrates that dependency is not a deviation from the norm\, rather a constitutive feature of human life. Secondly\, relying on Tronto&rsquo\;s care ethic\, the contribution will argue that humanity is better understood as grounded on interdependence\, where care relationships are not only fundamental for democratic societies\, but also for a responsible and adequate care of human beings. Tronto&rsquo\;s analysis highlights how the unequal distribution of care labor - which is historically borne by women or racialized and marginalized groups - is grounded on &ldquo\;passes&rdquo\; given to men\, that exempt them from care responsibilities. Through Tronto&rsquo\;s theory it will become clear that a model of humanity grounded on interdependence and responsibility is necessary for a more equal ethical and political life. Through this two-fold analysis\, this contribution aims at demonstrating the necessity for an ontological shift: it is necessary to overcome the conception of humanity as male-centered\, autonomous and self-made\, to a vision of humanity as interdependent\, needy\, vulnerable\, and relational.
\nAbout the Speaker: Jake Nicholas Brooks is MA graduate with honors in Philosophy at University of Rome &ldquo\;La Sapienza&rdquo\;. His research interests revolve around Political Philosophy\, Feminist Theories\, and Gender Studies. He carried out a thesis on the Habermasian conception of progress. He has published an article in double-blind peer review for Quaderni Leif - ethical and moral journal from the University of of Catania - on Tronto&rsquo\;s ethics&rsquo\;s of care and Simone Weil&rsquo\;s perspective on war. He is currently working on a paper for Etica-Mente\, another journal of University of Catania\, concerning Tronto&rsquo\;s conception of interdependence

\nKaimé\; Guerrero Valencia - Intervening Assemblages of Trans-formation/Action: Beatriz Nascimento (1942-1995)
\nThis paper examines the intellectual\, artistic\, and political contributions of Beatriz Nascimento (1942&ndash\;1995)\, a leading figure of Brazil&rsquo\;s Black Movement. It situates her work at the intersection of historiography\, aesthetics\, and political theory\, showing how she developed innovative conceptual and methodological tools to contest colonial structures of knowledge and create new practices of Black autonomy. Through an interdisciplinary analysis of her essays\, poetry\, archival materials\, and the documentary Ô\;rí\; (1989)\, the paper argues that Nascimento\, by mobilizing writing\, film\, and activism as intertwined strategies\, elaborates a distinct theoretical\, methodological\, and ethical approach that redefines Black historiography\, advances the conception of a Black utopia\, and reconfigures the quilombo (maroon societies) as a political and existential category. At the core of Nascimento&rsquo\;s oeuvre is the concept of trans-formaç\;ã\;o/aç\;ã\;o\, a neologism that denotes processes of transformation enacted through language. She theorizes language not as a neutral medium but as a site of material and historical change\, capable of unsettling hegemonic orders and generating new forms of collective subjectivity. The paper demonstrates how she strategically combined academic\, poetic\, and cinematic registers to transform language itself into an instrument of resistance. Nascimento&rsquo\;s work establishes the conditions for new forms of Black historiography in which freedom is articulated not as an abstract universal but as a lived and collective practice. Her oeuvre constitutes an embodied\, aesthetic\, and political historiography of the Black diaspora\, in which the quilombo functions as both archive and horizon of freedom\, and Black utopia materializes through collective practices of memory\, writing\, and resistance.
\nAbout the Speaker: Kaimé\; Guerrero Valencia were born in Quito\, Ecuador\, and has been living in Berlin for ten years. They studied sociology and political science at the Pontificia Universidad Cató\;lica del Ecuador\, followed by a MA degree in interdisciplinary Latin American studies with a gender profile at the Free University of Berlin. They are currently completing their PhD in the Collaborative Research Center Intervening Arts in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Their research interests include the intersections between aesthetic\, political and scientific processes in the production of alternative forms of word-making

What: \;Mental simulation(s) as memory process(es)
The concept of &ldquo\;Mental Simulation&rdquo\; (MS) has been increasingly used in cognitive science since the early 2000s\, supporting a wide range of cognitive activities such as mental imagery\, language comprehension\, and action observation. Although MS is used widely across these domains\, it functions as an umbrella term because different types of mental simulations can vary in their simulation processes (e.g.\, triggered externally or internally) and simulation outcomes (e.g.\, motor resonance or a mental representation) (Stockner et al.\, 2025). In this work\, we propose a theoretical framework suggesting that different types of mental simulation exist\, all of which can be considered as different forms of memory processes. To outline this point\, we review extensive literature indicating that these forms of mental simulation and their underlying neurocognitive mechanisms rely heavily on previous experiences. For example\, expert musicians perform better at auditory imagery tasks (e.g.\, Bishop et al.\, 2013)\, and neural activation during action observation is greater when dancers are familiar with the observed dance (e.g.\, Calvo-Merino et al.\, 2005). Our underlying theoretical assumption is as follows: if a mental simulation and its underlying neurocognitive process are shaped by\, and directly related to\, previous and memorised experience\, then it is a form of memory. These memory processes can have a more explicit (i.e.\, declarative) or implicit (i.e.\, procedural) nature\, depending on the characteristics of the simulation process and its outcome features. Like memory processes\, mental simulations should also be regarded as constructive and generative processes that may involve partial reinstatement but should not be identified with it. Thus\, instead of traditionally conceptualising memory as an imaginative process (i.e.\, imagination-first)\, we propose a memory-first approach.

\nBSP Online Course
\nRegistration open now \;
\nThe rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked numerous philosophical debates\, revealing that AI is not merely a sophisticated technological invention but also a profound philosophical problem. From its onset\, AI has been modeled in many ways after assumptions about how human intelligence works. \;
\nPhenomenology\, as a philosophical tradition\, offers unique insights into human cognition\, perception\, and consciousness. By focusing on the lived experience and the embodied nature of intelligence\, phenomenology challenges reductionist views of intelligence and provides a more holistic approach to understanding how artificial systems might (or might not) reflect human intelligence. This course will explore the ways in which phenomenological concepts can illuminate key issues in the philosophy of AI and help us navigate the conceptual and ethical challenges posed by these emerging technologies. \;
\nThis course focuses on four key concepts and their phenomenological treatment as applied to AI: embodiment\, lifeworld\, meaning\, and consciousness. \;
\nBSP Online courses focus on phenomenological thinkers or topics and are taught by experts in the field. The sessions last 1.5 hours and are held once a week online\, over consecutive weeks. This will include a lecture and time for discussion / Q&\;A. Reading materials or any other course materials will be provided in advance. Catch-up recordings are available in case anyone misses any sessions! \;

Determining whether animals\, machines\, or other systems are conscious has major scientific and practical implications\, influencing ethical decision-making and policy. One promising approach to this challenge is the development of consciousness tests (C-tests)\, empirically grounded methods for detecting consciousness across diverse populations. Importantly\, C-tests are not necessarily grounded in theories of consciousness\, which are still &ldquo\;works in progress&rdquo\; and therefore not sufficiently robust to support secure ascriptions of consciousness. C-tests\, instead\, offer a data-driven methodology for navigating the uncertainty surrounding consciousness attributions and thus promise to be useful and effective even in the context of vast theoretical disagreement in consciousness science. \;
\nBut how do C-tests work? How are they validated? Can they be successfully applied to heterogeneous populations? The goal of this workshop is to survey and critically assess the current state of the art regarding C-tests. While a growing number of proposals have been developed&mdash\;drawing on behavioral\, cognitive\, and neurophysiological indicators&mdash\;there has been relatively little systematic discussion of how these tests relate to one another or what standards they should satisfy. The workshop will therefore bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to examine existing approaches\, discuss desiderata for robust C-tests\, explore novel research programs\, and investigate possible synergies between different methods. At the same time\, we aim to foster critical discussion of key challenges\, including conceptual ambiguities related to construct validity\, risks of anthropocentric bias\, and difficulties in validating C-tests independently of theories of consciousness.
\nThe workshop will cover a broad range of topics reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of C-test research. Contributions will address conceptual\, methodological\, empirical\, and practical issues. Discussions will focus on different target systems\, including non-human animals\, artificial intelligence systems\, and brain organoids. By bringing together perspectives from philosophy\, neuroscience\, psychology\, and AI\, the workshop aims to clarify the emerging landscape of C-tests and stimulate new directions for research.

Cameron Boult - Taking Intellectual Advantage of Others
On Monday 8 June 2026\, Cameron Boult (Brandon University) will give a presentation in the Collective Ethics Seminar entitled &lsquo\;Taking Intellectual Advantage of Others&rsquo\;.
Abstract: \;I develop and defend the concept epistemic assholes. An epistemic asshole is someone who exhibits a distinctive form of epistemic badness characterized not by gross irrationality or hostility to truth\, but by a stable\, entitled disregard for one&rsquo\;s epistemic relations with others. Drawing on Aaron James&rsquo\;s (2012) account of moral assholes\, I examine how people can systematically exploit epistemic cooperation by allowing themselves special advantages&mdash\;such as &ldquo\;freedom from inquiry&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;doxastic comfort&rdquo\;\, and &ldquo\;freedom to criticize&rdquo\;&mdash\;while remaining insulated from criticism by an entrenched sense of entitlement. The resulting view\, the Relational Approach to Epistemic Assholes (REA)\, explains why epistemic assholes are not epistemically the worst\, yet are nonetheless deeply galling. After motivating the need for this concept\, I show how REA captures both &ldquo\;impure&rdquo\; cases (involving both epistemic and moral assholery) and &ldquo\;pure&rdquo\; epistemic assholes\, whose objectionable conduct is driven by epistemic aims themselves. I further explore connections between epistemic assholes and epistemic vice\, and the causal role that epistemic assholery can play in active ignorance and epistemic exploitation. Through this latter connection\, I argue that epistemic assholes play an insidious causal role in sustaining objectionable social power dynamics. The concept of epistemic assholes provides a valuable lens for understanding and calling out important but often-hidden hazards in our social epistemic environment. \;
The online seminar is open for all to attend. The session starts at 15.15 CEST / 09.15 EST. You can join the session via the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/62736288881?pwd=SndEdTNoNlZtSzJqcmpabm5NaWIyUT09

The II Workshop on Substructural Logics and its limits will be held on June 9th and June 10th 2026 at the Carl Friedrich von Weizsä\;cker-Centerof the University of Tü\;bingen with the support of the PLEXUS project (Grant Agreement no 101086295\; PI: Prof. Pablo Cobreros) a Marie Sklodowska-Curie action funded by the EU under the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme). The Workshop is organised by Federico Pailos.
\nA substructural logic is one that gives up one of the structural features of classical logic. By this it is meant either some closure property\, like reflex ivity\, transitivity or monotonicity\, or some local or globally valid metain ferential schema. This Workshop has two interrelated general aims: (i) contribute to the de velopment of a conception of logicality that better fits with the recent de velopments in the field of substructural logics\, mainly related to some key applications\, such as the vagueness phenomena and the semantic paradoxes\; (ii) assess the pros and cons of this new conception of logicality with respect to more traditional approaches\, that understood a logic as a set of inferences closed under some key (Tarskian) properties\, such as reflexivity\, transitivity and monotonicity.
\nFor those who wish to join online\, Zoom details will be provided soon.

\nMarianne Najm Abou-Jaoude - Beneficent Communication as Power
\nThis presentation proposes a three-level framework&mdash\;safe\, responsible and beneficent&mdash\;to analyse and foster constructive forms of women&rsquo\;s agency in contemporary digital media ecologies. &ldquo\;Safe&rdquo\; designates not engaging in practices and structures that include violence\, exploitation and manipulation online and offline. &ldquo\;Responsible&rdquo\; refers to doing no harm\, ensuring fairness and structural justice. &ldquo\;Beneficent&rdquo\; goes further\, namely actively promote the flourishing of others\, create conditions for dialogue and build the common good\, and is presented as the key to reimagining women&rsquo\;s power in and through media. \;Drawing on case studies of women communicators in religious\, civic and grassroots community contexts\, this research examines digital practices through the three cumulative levels of positive ethics in communication to illuminate how such engagements challenge exclusionary structures in theology and philosophy. \; \;A few case studies examples would be first\, women moderating encrypted messaging groups that coordinate neighborhood mutual aid and emotional support while establishing clear norms of safety and verification. A second examines women leaders in faith-based digital communities who use livestreams and social media to host spaces of shared discernment\, interreligious encounter and reconciliation. A third considers women running community radio and podcast collectives that platform the voices of migrant\, indigenous or otherwise marginalised women\, combining journalistic rigour with participatory storytelling. \;
\nAbout the Speaker: \;Marianne Najm Abou Jaoude is a telecom engineer finishing her doctoral research at Sophia University Institute near Florence in Italy. Her thesis concerns ethics of AI and the responsibility of everyone in building a safe and peaceful future. She developed a framework about a digital oath that includes beneficence in communication and systems design\, and the role of technology such as generative AI in peacebuilding and depolarization. Her work examines progressive ethical levels and the concept of collaborative positive ethics to foster human-centric innovation and inclusive digital communication
\n\n\nRoula Azar Douglas &ndash\; Women&rsquo\;s Digital Voices and the Reconfiguration of Public Debate
\n\nIn the contemporary digital landscape\, social media platforms\, blogs\, and online communities have emerged as significant spaces where women articulate political\, philosophical\, religious\, or secular positions. Far from being peripheral\, these digital arenas are vital sites for rethinking legitimacy\, influence\, and participation in public discourse. This paper examines how women &mdash\; from secular thinkers and educators to feminist digital activists\, as well as Christian pastors in Europe and Muslim scholars in the Arab world &mdash\; use digital media to challenge traditional frameworks\, reinterpret doctrines or social norms\, and create alternative spaces for reflection\, critique\, and debate. Through selected case studies\, the paper analyzes strategies these women employ to reach diverse audiences: the mobilization of storytelling and personal narrative\, the use of pedagogical tools\, and the deliberate cultivation of online communities that function as safe spaces for questioning and dissent. It also considers aesthetic and rhetorical choices &mdash\; such as visual branding and accessible language &mdash\; that enhance the effectiveness of their digital presence. Particular attention is devoted to how these actors navigate visibility in environments where religious\, cultural\, or political expectations can restrict women&rsquo\;s public expression. This includes facing harassment\, censorship\, or community backlash\, while leveraging alliances\, digital solidarity networks\, and transnational audiences to amplify their voices. The study highlights how digital platforms enable women to bypass traditional gatekeepers and establish new forms of authority rooted in experience\, authenticity\, and community engagement. Ultimately\, it sheds light on how online spaces are reshaping women&rsquo\;s participation in intellectual and spiritual debates\, highlighting both persistent obstacles and emerging opportunities for more inclusive\, plural\, and transformative dialogue.
