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:20260511T201846Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260220T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T170000 SUMMARY:Online Bayle Seminar 2026 : Education and Pedagogy in the Philosopher of Rotterdam UID:20260511T220701Z-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.
\nN'hé\;sitez pas à\; rejoindre le ré\;seau ou à\; nous contacter pour rejoindre l&rsquo\;é\;quipe d&rsquo\;animation !

This natural necessity constitutes the foundation of culture\, which arises from collective human existence. One of the essential conditions of communal life is language. It enables communication among individuals\, serves as a cornerstone of social cohesion\, and functions as the primary vehicle for transmitting knowledge and experience across generations.
\nThe advancement of knowledge in any society depends on the depth and integrity of exchange among those who produce\, preserve\, and transmit it. When communication is grounded in cooperation\, constructive criticism\, and openness to new ideas\, intellectual and cultural development flourishes. Conversely\, when intolerance dominates social relations\, the rhythm of progress slows. In this regard\, Islamic civilization offers a rich legacy of examples illustrating how the ethos of criticism and tolerance can coexist and sustain intellectual vitality across diverse contexts.
\nToday\, Muslim societies differ significantly from their predecessors in how they engage with criticism and tolerance. Shaped by a range of internal and external forces\, they have gradually drifted from their own intellectual heritage\, making it increasingly difficult to respond effectively to the challenges of modern life. In response to these difficulties\, Muş Alparslan University launched a symposium series centred on &ldquo\;Criticism and Tolerance&rdquo\; to draw attention to the underlying issues behind these crises. The first symposium\, titled &ldquo\;The Criticism Culture and Morality of Tolerance in Islamic Thought\,&rdquo\; was held on April 26&ndash\;28\, 2019\, and attracted considerable interest. Encouraged by its success\, a second symposium was organized on December 7&ndash\;8\, 2020\, focusing on the first five centuries of Islamic civilization (7th-11th centuries). Participants in the second symposium concurred that the theme warranted further exploration. As a result\, two additional symposia were organized: one focusing on the 12th to 19th centuries\, held on May 28&ndash\;29\, 2021\, and another addressing the modern period\, held on October 7&ndash\;8\, 2022. The series was originally planned to conclude with the fourth meeting\, which examined the modern era. However\, because the topic is both profound and far-reaching\, the series is now being extended \;with a new and complementary symposium.
\nSince 2019\, the symposium series\, when viewed as a whole\, tended to place greater emphasis on the past. \;This has reinforced the conviction that giving the next symposium a future-oriented theme would be both balancing and complementary. To use a classical distinction in Arabic rhetoric (balāgha)\, the first four symposia may be described as \;ikhbārī \;in character -concerned with what has already taken place-. In contrast\, the fifth has been conceived as \;inshāʾī\, oriented toward what is yet to come. Accordingly\, the fifth symposium will be held under the subtitle &ldquo\;Religion\, Method\, Future.&rdquo\;
\nThe outcomes of the first four symposia converge on a shared conclusion: the intellectual heritage of Islamic civilization offers valuable guidance -both in content and in method- for addressing the contemporary challenges faced by the Muslim world. This recognition undergirds the theme of the fifth symposium\, which is designed as a platform for scholars who\, mindful of the demands of the present\, seek to draw on this heritage in envisioning the future.

This year\, we celebrate four decades since the 1986 publication of Patricia Churchland's book Neurophilosophy: Toward a Unified Science of the Mind-Brain\, widely recognized as the foundational point of Neurophilosophy. Since then\, Neurophilosophy has established itself as a field of study that seeks a unified science of the mind-brain\, involving disciplines such as neuroscience\, philosophy\, computing\, psychology\, and psychiatry. Thus\, the 1st UFFS International Congress on Neurophilosophy: Neurophilosophy\, after 40 years\, aims to reflect on the advances\, challenges\, and future of trans- and interdisciplinarity in the study of the mind-brain over these 40 years\, with special focus on Neurophilosophy in Brazil.

ORGANIZER;CN=Maria Luiza Iennaco;CN=Alisson Brandemarte Moreira: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260511T201846Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260511T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260513T170000 SUMMARY:Process Philosophy in Under-explored traditions in philosophical history UID:20260511T220723Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:There are two dominant streams for talking about reality in the history of metaphysical thought - \; substance and process. These two streams are noticeable in virtually all traditions but the former seems to have gained more attention at the expense of the latter which offers a more robust and insightful framework for codifying reality. The metaphysical framework of substance has been elevated as absolute and universal in humanity&rsquo\;s comprehension of the self and the world. That metaphysical framework fails in providing a springboard on topics such as value and conscious nature of all ontological entities. As a result\, topics such as the cellular basis of consciousness or biopsychism in plant neurobiology\, panpsychism and its impact over the inter-relationship among all entities for environmental stability have not received penetrating and convincing analysis from the substance-based perspective. This is why an alternative framework in process metaphysics as broadly construed in all religious and philosophic traditions &ndash\; African\, Oriental\, Anglo-American\, and Continental become pertinent.
\nIn its most commonly shared formulation\, process philosophy\, regardless of tradition\, lays emphasis on vital force\, flux\, biopsychism\, dynamism\, relationality and interconnection among entities such that nothing stands in isolation (see Mesle 2008\; Ivakhkiv 2018). Among process philosophers\, there is a shared acknowledgement that reality is &lsquo\;becoming&rsquo\; and an interconnected web such that no event stands in isolation. Process philosophers eschew the mainstream and dominant outlook in traditional metaphysics that changelessness implies perfection (see Rescher 1996\; Mesle 2008). Extant scholarship offers a more robust explanation for topics like ecology (Ivakhiv 2018\; Maffie 2015\; McLeod 2023)\, consciousness (Griffin 2007\; Raud 2021\; Zu 2025)\, agency (Valmisa 2025)\, relationality (Chimakonam &\; Ogbonnaya 2021\; Maffie 2015\; McLeod 2023)\, mystical experiences (Dambrowski 2023)\, and Being (Ofuasia 2024). These are hot topics that signal the importance of such metaphysics for contemporary scholarship. In spite of this common ground\, process scholars in the afore-mentioned philosophical traditions have never engaged one another critically.
\nThis conference will therefore be the first to birth this long overdue intellectual exchange as it offers an improved metaphysical framework for value and consciousness in all ontological entities to address various concerns that are facing humanity: economy\, political\, and environmental. Although there are hesitant answers to some of these global challenges facing humanity\, the influence of substance-based analysis has yet to offer penetrative answers\, in addition to the almost lack of interaction among scholars of process to explore their common ground for a common voice in the way that substance thought has done over the centuries.Based on the foregoing established gap\, anonymized abstracts\, not more than 250 words are invited from scholars of all traditions who specialise in process philosophy over topics that are not limited to the following thematic coverage of the Conference:

\n12 May 2026 | KU Leuven \;
\nThe workshop brings together two philosophical traditions that have had remarkably little to say to each other\, given how much they share. Its guiding concern is to explore what the resources of Husserl&rsquo\;s and Sellars&rsquo\; philosophies\, taken together\, can contribute to a theory of intentionality\, the relationship of lifeworld and scientific theory\, and what transcendental method still has to offer the philosophy of mind\, including its more naturalistically inclined variants. \; The format follows a Collective Research model. Junior researchers\, mid-career scholars\, and established figures are invited to pool their expertise rather than perform it. Those interested in commenting on paper drafts ahead of the event are welcome to write to \;agne.valatkaite@kuleuven.be. \; \;
\nAttendance is free but registration is required for in-person or remote attendance. \;The registration \;form \;is open until 11th May 2026. Further information: \;https://husserl-sellars-intentionality.pages.dev \; \;

It shall explain how Ric&oelig\;ur&rsquo\;s notion of the &ldquo\;political paradox&rdquo\; highlights the fundamental ambiguity of political power: the state exists to establish justice and protect citizens yet simultaneously contains the potential for domination and violence. Drawing on Ric&oelig\;ur&rsquo\;s understanding of justice as requiring both interpersonal ethics and institutional structures\, the presentation \;further highlights how Ric&oelig\;ur conceives institutions as essential mediations\, extending solicitude beyond \;face-to-face relationships. \;His framework for understanding ethics and institutions as necessary for actualizing the good life \;provides resources for reimagining the social contract\, by grounding political legitimacy in a distinctive type of relationality and the dynamic pursuit of just institutional arrangements\, rather than mere hypothetical\, rational\, and abstract consent.

\nCan the Free Energy Principle/Predictive Processing illuminate the sort of being we are? This symposium explores two important - and importantly different - ways to answer the question. Kate Nave&rsquo\;s book offers a negative answer\, grounded in the enactivist tradition. Hohwy&rsquo\;s book offers a positive\, internalist and representationalist answer.
\nBy placing Nave&rsquo\;s and Hohwy&rsquo\;s opposite accounts in critical conversation\, this double-book symposium explores the Free Energy Principle and the various\, opposite ways in which it can be interpreted. It also sheds light on a number of foundational topics in cognitive science\, including the nature of representation\, the relevance of embodiment\, the complex\, tangly relation between our pragmatic and epistemic grip on the world\, and the normativity - biological or epistemic - governing that grip.

Elżbieta Filipow &ndash\; Women&rsquo\;s Writing of Harriet Taylor Mill and its Various Modes of Self-expression
\nHarriet Taylor Mill (1807&ndash\;1857) was a long-time friend\, intellectual partner\, and\, eventually\, wife of John Stuart Mill (1806&ndash\;1873) &ndash\; one of the main representatives of utilitarianism and an advocate of feminism. My preliminary research has shown that Harriet Taylor Mill is an almost entirely absent figure in the field of literary studies. The aim of my presentation will be to highlight her contribution to the development of women&rsquo\;s writing\, aesthetics\, and literary self-reflection\, based on her essays in aesthetics\, literary criticism\, and poetry. Although the topic of Harriet Taylor Mill&rsquo\;s female writing is completely overlooked from the perspective of her contributions to social thought or feminist philosophy\, it is\, in my view\, worth taking a closer look at these insufficiently explored aspects of various modes of self-expression in her literary activity. Doing so may show her creative output in a different light: as that of a writer with a critical sensibility towards literary work and as a poet addressing themes linked to emotions arising from motherhood and marriage. Particularly\, this last element of her female voice inwriting may serve to complete her portrayal as a woman who attempted to reconcile her feminist beliefs with family life &ndash\; a considerable challenge in the Victorian era. Ultimately\, I will argue that it is possible to demonstrate that Harriet Taylor Mill&rsquo\;s works represents an example of female writing as a form of self-reflection\, which ambivalently set for and against her own perception of the social issues related to gender inequality within the broader context of the role and place of women in Victorian society.
\nAbout the Speaker:Elżbieta Filipow holds MA in sociology and BA in philosophy. Since 2022 she is working as a research assistant in the Department of Ethics at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Warsaw and she is principal investigator in the research project entitled &lsquo\;The Place of Equality in John Stuart Mill&rsquo\;s Utilitarianism&rsquo\; financed by the National Science Centre (Poland) and a research assistant in the project &lsquo\;Enlightenment-Era Pedagogical Reforms and Arguments against the Gendered Conception of Human Progress in Poland and Germany&rsquo\; financed by National Agency of Academic Exchange (NAWA\, Poland). She is completing her doctoral dissertation in philosophy entitled &lsquo\;Perfectionism and Justice. The Equality of Women and Men in John Stuart Mill&rsquo\;s Utilitarianism&rsquo\;. Since 2024 she is doctoral student in a Doctoral School in Sociological Science at the University of Bialystok (Poland). Her doctoral dissertation focuseson the contribution of Harriet Taylor Mill into the canon of sociological thought. In 2024 she was an Academic Visitor at the Faculty of Philosophy\, Oxford University and conducted research in The John Stuart Mill Library at Somerville College
\nShamoni Sarkar - Karoline von Gü\;nderrode: Fragmentation\, Philosophy\, and Early German Romanticism
\nIn this paper\, I argue for a creative ethics grounded in fragmentation in the work of the early German romantic poet and philosopher Karoline von Gü\;nderrode. Scholarship on Gü\;nderrode is scant\, but commentators have emphasized\, among other themes\, her novel environmental ethics and Naturphilosophie\, as well as her original philosophy of gender and selfhood. However\, the larger hermeneutics of the early romantic fragment as a form of philosophical communication has not been sufficiently investigated in terms of her philosophical conception\, especially given her role as a woman on the fringes of the movement. With this in mind\, I provide a close reading of Gü\;nderrode&rsquo\;s essay-fragment &ldquo\;The Idea of the Earth&rdquo\; (Die Idee der Erde) and her lyric poem &ldquo\;The Kiss in the Dream&rdquo\; (Der Kuss im Traume) to show how her concept of the spiritual will\, life\, and dream-inspired creativity all depend on an underlying conception of fragmentation at the core of willing\, living\, and dreaming. We are confronted with fragmentation as both a threat as well as a sustenance of our collective life on earth and of our creative communication. Therefore\, writing in the fragment form is a direct expression of the pain of philosophizing and poeticizing from within a context of a world and a creative will that is consistently torn apart seemingly by its own volition. Gü\;nderrode&rsquo\;s work appeals to our imaginations to see and to use this pain to re-imagine the real rather than chase the ideal. Ideal unity functions more as a limit condition of this philosophical activity rather than as a destination.
\nAbout the Speaker: Shamoni Sarkar obtained her PhD in Philosophy from the University of California\, Riverside in Fall 2025. Her dissertation argued for a conception of openness in community in Early German Romantic philosophy. This is facilitated by the process of reading and understanding the early romantic fragment&ndash\; in which finitude and infinitude work themselves out together. From 2023-2024\, she was an associated doctoral fellow at the Freie Universitä\;t Berlin\, funded by an Einstein Stiftung grant. In the future\, she plans to focus more on women philosophers from the period\, and on investigating alternative forms of &lsquo\;philosophizing&rsquo\; as a form of community creation. \; \; \; \; \;

Abstract
\nFrom Non-Cognitivism to Global Expressivism: Carnap&rsquo\;s Unfinished Journey?
\nBy Huw Price(Trinity College Cambridge)
\nCarnap was one of the first to use the term &ldquo\;non-cognitivism.&rdquo\; His linguistic pluralism and voluntarism\, together with his deflationary views of ontology and semantics\, are highly congenial to those of us who want to take non-cognitivism in the direction of global expressivism. In his own case\, however\, this move is in tension with his continued endorsement of what he calls &ldquo\;the general thesis of logical empiricism\,&rdquo\; namely that &ldquo\;there is no third kind of knowledge besides empirical and logical knowledge.&rdquo\; Thus\, while Carnap clears a path towards global expressivism\, he does not seem to fully appreciate what this path requires him to leave behind.

What: Despair and Diachronic Agency: \;Disheartening Chances and the Rational Revision of Plans
In this paper\, I add to the current debate regarding the nature and value of despair. I argue that despair should not be viewed strictly as a \;form of sadness (Milona and Stockdale\, 2025) \;but rather as an emotional reaction through which we \;apprehend the loss of a future as likely. As such\, despair is not only valuable because it provides a \;&ldquo\;reflective break&rdquo\; (Menges &\; Altehenger\, 2025). Instead\, it is a response of &ldquo\;restless apathy&rdquo\; which \;prepares us both to retreat and renounce our commitments\, and to launch &lsquo\;last resort&rsquo\; &lsquo\;desperate&rsquo\; acts. \;Despair is not only valuable as an antidote to &ldquo\;wishful hoping&rdquo\; (Huber\, 2024) but\, more fundamentally\, because it counteracts our resistance to reconsidering plans we are diachronically committed to. As beings with temporally extended agency\, we form intentions that guide\, monitor\, and rationally control \;action across time (Mylopoulos &\; Pacherie\, 2019). Despair allows us to respond to the disheartening \;lowering of chances of success by urgently reconsidering our plans\, in spite of our inherent resistance \;to doing so.

Often perceived as bounded worlds\, islands have generated narratives of origin and apocalypse\, utopia and dystopia\, exile and belonging\, isolation and connection. From ancient mythologies to contemporary cultural production\, from oral traditions to visual and digital media\, and from colonial imaginaries to ecological discourses\, islands have operated as narrative laboratories in which cultural anxieties\, desires\, and transformations are articulated.
\nThe international seminar Mythical Archipelagos: Islands\, Narratives\, and Imaginaries Across Cultures and Media invites scholars to explore islands as mythical\, symbolic\, and narrative spaces. Myths are understood here in a broad sense: as foundational stories\, cultural imaginaries\, symbolic systems\, and narrative frameworks that are inherited\, transformed\, reimagined\, or contested in relation to insular spaces.
\nRather than treating islands as merely geographic entities\, this seminar approaches them as dynamic sites where overlapping temporalities\, negotiated identities\, and human and more-than-human relations converge.

\nReference in Imagination without Intentions to Imagine (Joint work with Daniel Munro) \;
\nAbstract: How do imaginings come to refer to their objects? One popular view (&ldquo\;intentionalism&rdquo\;) assigns a central role to imaginative intentions. According to this view\, intentions about what to imagine are sufficient for fixing the referent of one&rsquo\;s resulting imagining. Previous criticisms of intentionalism have pointed to apparent counterexamples in which imaginers intuitively fail to imagine what they intend\; however\, these criticisms are arguably inconclusive. We provide further reasons for rejecting intentionalism by presenting cases in which subjects succeed in imagining what they intend\, but in which their intentions are still not the factor that determines what they imagine. Instead\, their imaginings inherit their contents from prior imaginings or episodic memories. We use the range of counterexamples to intentionalism to motivate an alternative causal explanation\, according to which causal connections to objects often explain imaginative reference to those objects. We conclude by exploring how our cases support continuities between the imagination and episodic memory. \;

\nTheme
\nA.I.\, Virtual Worlds\, and Digital Existentialism
\n\nThe North American Sartre Society invites proposals for our 31st \;meeting. \; \;Our conference theme is A.I.\, Virtual Worlds\, and Digital Existentialism. We encourage papers that explore existentialism as it relates to A.I.\, social media\, data centers\, and virtual worlds. We encourage papers on topics and questions such as: \;
\n\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;How does artificial intelligence reshape our understanding of selfhood\, agency\, and responsibility?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;Can virtual worlds provide authentic forms of meaning\, identity\, and community\, or are they structurally alienating?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What does &ldquo\;existence&rdquo\; mean when one&rsquo\;s social\, emotional\, and creative life is increasingly mediated by A.I. systems and platforms?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;Do A.I.-generated personas and avatars challenge distinctions between authenticity and bad faith?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;How should we understand freedom and choice when algorithmic systems increasingly guide behaviors\, desires\, and commitments?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What ethical obligations do creators of A.I. and virtual worlds have toward users&rsquo\; existential well-being and sense of meaning?
\n\nWe invite proposals from any area of Sartre studies and from any disciplinary background. In the spirit of Sartre&rsquo\;s eclectic thinking\, we encourage proposals that address philosophy\, literature\, theater\, aesthetics\, psychology\, politics\, intellectual history\, art\, music\, and other disciplines. Aiming to foster diverse and pluralistic approaches\, we understand Sartre Studies broadly to indicate work in the existentialist tradition\, including work emerging from thinkers like Simone de Beauvoir\, Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, Frantz Fanon\, Richard Wright\, Angela Davis\, Albert Camus\, Anna Julia Cooper\, Harriet Ann Jacobs\, Lewis R. Gordon\, Frederick Douglass\, Kathryn Sophia Belle\, Steve Biko\, Naomi Zack\, Chabani Manganyi\, Emilio Uranga\, Jorge Portilla\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, Aimé\; Cé\;saire\, Keiji Nishitani\, Azzedine Haddour\, Martin Buber\, Hannah Arendt\, Martin Heidegger\, Gabriel Marcel\, Emmanuel Levinas\, Sara Ahmed\, danielle davis\, bell hooks\, Kamau Brathwaite\, Nathalie Etoke\, Achille Mbembe\, Suzanne Cé\;saire\, James Baldwin and others. \;

\nTHE \; FUTURE \; OF \; DEMOCRACY: \; RENEWING \; ORDERED \; LIBERTY
\nPASADENA\, \; CALIFORNIA\, \; USA\, 17 October \; 2026 \; (Online: Zoom) \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; HOSTED \; BY \; OMEGA \; GRADUATE \; SCHOOL
\nSuggested \; Themes:
\nBy its 250th anniversary\, American democracy is at a crossroads. \; The American experiment in self-government faces a triple challenge: moral\, cultural\, and political. \; In The Fragility of Order (2018)\, George Weigel recounts America&rsquo\;s major \; twentieth-century \; challenges whose successes have come into question. Weigel argues that order is a &ldquo\;fragile thing\,&rdquo\; and needs continual renewal\, especially in a postmodern cultural context unsure about the truth of anything. According to Weigel\, order rapidly unraveled in the United States on three levels: moral\, cultural\, and political. Skepticism and relativism of the moral order found expression in nihilism in both popular and high culture\, which also translated into increased partisanship in the political order. \; The question arises how to restore the American Founders&rsquo\; ideal of a government that invoked &ldquo\;the Laws of Nature and of Nature&rsquo\;s God\,&rdquo\; with a conception of human nature as a &ldquo\;crooked timber of humanity\,&rdquo\; but redeemable\, that set up a constitutional framework with checks and balances to circumscribe the exercise of political power. \; If this &ldquo\;One nation under God\, with liberty and justice for all\,&rdquo\; is to endure\, then its Judeo-Christian cultural roots need to be rediscovered to nurture individuals\, families\, and communities\, reaffirming America&rsquo\;s promise of equality of opportunity\, in contrast to quasi-Marxist &ldquo\;equity&rdquo\; as leveling egalitarianism or &ldquo\;equal outcomes\,&rdquo\; a democratic temptation that Alexis de Tocqueville warned against in his Democracy in America. \; The neo-Freudian obsession with sex and its perversions needs to yield to the imago Dei vision of human dignity (Gen 1:27)\; the un-American emphasis on race and gender in education and public policy (affirmative action/DEI) replaced by merit as the best criterion for gauging individual effort\; while politics need the leaven of respect for all. \; In brief\, can America find its soul and redeem the American Dream?
\nJIS Symposium 2026 endeavors to bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines and denominations for an exciting international conference which takes both scholarship and faith seriously. \; JIS Symposium 2026: The Future of Democracy: Renewing Ordered Liberty (Online via Zoom) is co-sponsored by IIR-ICSA-JIS. \; All conference participants must pre-register. \; Abstracts (250 words) due: May 15\, 2026: c/o Dr. O.

Each new window into the natural world has brought not only advances in knowledge but also profound theological and philosophical questions.
\nToday\, the sciences continue to push the boundaries of the observable&mdash\;from the subatomic realm to the furthest edges of the cosmos. These explorations invite renewed reflection on creation\, purpose\, and the place of humanity within an ever‑deepening picture of reality. They also open fresh opportunities for constructive dialogue between scientific inquiry and religious thought.
\nThis conference will explore how contemporary understandings of both the minute and the immense prompt theological engagement\, shape religious imagination\, and offer new possibilities for integrating scientific insight with faith traditions. Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines\, we will examine how science and religion can meaningfully converse in light of discoveries that challenge\, enrich\, and inspire.
\nConfirmed Keynote Speakers:
\nKeynote Speakers:
\nProf John Barton\, Emeritus University of Oxford: The innumerable in the religious thought of the Hebrew Bible: In Genesis God promises to Abraham descendants more numerous &lsquo\;than the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore&rsquo\;. \;Hebrew culture seems to have expressed the ideas for which we use terms such as &lsquo\;infinite&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;infinitesimal&rsquo\; by drawing an analogy with objects too many to count or too fine-grained to form a unity. This was not distinctive as a way of describing observed reality\, but it came to be applied creatively to an understanding of the divine that coheres with later Jewish and Christian monotheism\, by insisting that God is incomparable and outside everything measurable. \;In time this yielded important paradoxes\, such as that divine &lsquo\;weakness&rsquo\; is a form of strength\, which feeds into the &lsquo\;kenotic&rsquo\; (self-emptying)&rsquo\; idea of God\, who &lsquo\;emptied himself&rsquo\; according to St Paul (Philippians 2) in order to become human\, &lsquo\;lower than the lowest that can be imagined&rsquo\;. In some strains of Jewish thought it promoted the doctrine of divine contraction (tsimtsum)\, which says that God had to &lsquo\;breathe in&rsquo\; to make enough space for the created world. Less is more\, as we might put it today! \;Thus reflecting on an everyday idiom led thinkers in early Judaism and Christianity to see &lsquo\;innumerability&rsquo\; as a key to sophisticated theological ideas. Theology often advances through the imaginative use of metaphor and analogy\, even by paying attention to what may seem\, as here\, to be quite casual turns of phrase. \;(Participants in this session may find it helpful to bring a small Bible.)
\nDr. Jennifer Wiseman\, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center: \;
\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Light to Planets: \; \;A Universe Poised for Life\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Mark Harris\, University of Oxford: Why was God determined to create quantum mechanics?: Quantum indeterminacy has been a gift for theologians. Classical Newtonian physics was widely supposed to create insuperable problems for belief in divine action and human free will owing to its rigid determinism. But the development of quantum mechanics in the twentieth century saved the day: quantum indeterminacy\, in particular\, appears to throw the future wide open to divine influence again (not to mention human self-determination). But what exactly is quantum indeterminacy\, and is it really such a lifeline for theism? I will raise some of the problems which are often overlooked in theological accounts\, but will go on to flag up my wider interest\, which is to ask what quantum indeterminacy tells us about God the creator\, if it is taken seriously.

For anti-speciesist teachers in the context of anthropocentric societies\, there are several further layers of difficulty: how should we approach the teaching of core subjects and the general &ldquo\;canon&rdquo\;\, when those often replicate speciesist norms and assumptions? Is it necessary to balance &ldquo\;objectivity&rdquo\; and advocacy? Is pedagogical or academic rigour threatened by moves towards animal-friendly pedagogy? How should we \; engage with students and colleagues who are resistant to non-anthropocentric perspectives? What specific pedagogical strategies or curriculum design choices (e.g.\, choice of texts\, use of various media\, interactive activities\, assessment design) can anti-speciesist teachers effectively employ to introduce non-anthropocentric materials without alienating students or triggering a defensive backlash?
\nThis online workshop aims to bring together academics working in politics\, philosophy\, and adjacent fields to consider the challenges and opportunities associated with tackling speciesism and anthropocentrism in higher education. It will be an opportunity to share ideas\, research\, and experience. We invite contributions from anyone involved in teaching in relevant fields. We're looking to provide a space to share reflections on experiences as well as formal paper-presentations. Keeping this in mind\, we invite submissions of the following types:
\nResearch papers discussing topics related to the workshop theme\, including but not limited to:
\nAnimal activism and teaching\,
\nTeaching controversial topics related to animals\,
\nTeaching the canon with animals in mind\,
\nThe intersection between non-anthropocentrism/anti-speciesism\, decolonisation\, and/or diversification of the curriculum\,
\nThe effectiveness of pedagogical interventions\,
\nThe role (or reaction) of the broader institution in (or to) animal-friendly pedagogy.
\nCase-studies\, including but not limited to:
\nExperience of developing non-anthropocentric/anti-speciesist curricula.
\nExperience of teaching on topics such as non-anthropocentrism\, animal rights\, veganism\, and so on.
\nExperience of non-traditional forms of assessment\, such as reflective journals\, campaign projects for animal-related issues\, policy design or review addressing animal-related issues. \;
\nSubmissions must be suitable for approx. 15-20 minute presentations and Q&\;A/discussion. Please send anonymised submissions to sara.vangoozen [at] york.ac.uk

\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

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.

\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.

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.
