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

For example\, presentations might discuss (but are not limited to): the epistemology of inquiry\, the metaphysics of inquiry\, ethical norms of inquiry\, historical perspectives on inquiry\, or the structure of scientific inquiry.
We aim to foster the sharing of ideas in an inclusive\, welcoming and low-pressure environment. Papers that are already accepted for publication will not be accepted. We aim to be sensitive to the needs of early-career scholars.
The group meets biweekly on Zoom during each of the Fall and Spring semesters. Meeting times are determined shortly before the beginning of each semester with the goal of finding a time that works for as many members as possible. Special consideration is given to finding a meeting time that works for presenters of accepted papers.
Applications are open for Foundations and Frontiers of Analytical Sociology\, a doctoral-level course hosted by Institute for Analytical Sociology\, Linkö\;ping University. The course is organized around an international lecture series featuring many of the scholars who have shaped analytical sociology and continue to define its contemporary development.
\nConfirmed speakers include:
\nPeter Bearman\, Delia Baldassarri\, Elizabeth Bruch\, Damon Centola\, Diego Gambetta\, Peter Hedströ\;m\, Gianluca Manzo\, Michael Macy\, Arnout van de Rijt\, Duncan Watts\, and Petri Ylikoski.
\nThe course explores central questions concerning social mechanisms\, explanation\, social interaction\, networks\, diffusion\, collective action\, computational social science\, and the relationship between theory and empirical research. Particular attention is devoted to the role of mechanism-based explanations in the social sciences and to philosophical questions concerning explanation\, causation\, and social scientific inquiry.
\nThe lecture series is accompanied by readings and highly participatory seminars in which participants critically discuss the lectures\, the assigned literature\, and connections to their own research. The course culminates in an individual paper in which participants develop an independent analysis of a research question using the theories\, concepts\, and explanatory models discussed throughout the course. Participants are encouraged to connect this assignment directly to their doctoral projects.
\nThe course is open to doctoral students and researchers from sociology\, philosophy\, political science\, economics\, computational social science\, and related disciplines.

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

Segovia
SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
Blanchot&rsquo\;s work delves into how thinking and writing both reflect and un-reflect our relation to life and death\, challenging conventional notions of presence and temporality. By tracing his influence on Derrida and Nancy\, and exploring the simultaneous timeliness and untimeliness of his thought\, we can ask how reading Blanchot today continues to transform our understanding of language\, life\, and being.
Session I (&ldquo\;Blanchot Today?\,&rdquo\; with Alex Obrigewitsch) will explore Blanchot&rsquo\;s considerations of writing and literature in their exposure of alterity\, disturbance of temporality\, and their inscription of the anonymous and impersonal&mdash\;for it is the ineluctable binding of writing and mortality which Blanchot has exposed to us\, suspending &ldquo\;today&rdquo\; in the double exposure of a coming future which intersects with a &ldquo\;terrifyingly ancient&rdquo\; past. The title of this opening session\, expresses the double question of the (un)timeliness of Blanchot&rsquo\;s work. If we agree with Jacques Derrida&rsquo\;s claim that &ldquo\;never as much as today have I imagined him so far ahead of us as today. Awaiting us\, still to come\, to be read\, to be reread by those very same ones that do it ever since they knew how to read and thanks to him\,&rdquo\; then it is from Blanchot &ldquo\;himself&rdquo\; that we might learn the double sense of our titular question. What can Blanchot teach us that bears the mark of today? Blanchot has never been more timely to read and think with than today\, insofar as &ldquo\;today&rdquo\; is only ever the mobile limit inscribed between a future to come and a past never present. There is no &ldquo\;today\,&rdquo\; no &ldquo\;contemporaneity&rdquo\; for literature\, and its very writing alters our relation to life\, suspending it in a void from whence all emerges and in which all must efface itself.
Session II (&ldquo\;Blanchot &\; Derrida\,&rdquo\; with Philippe Lynes) will\, for its part\, trace the history of Blanchot&rsquo\;s influence on Derrida\, as well as instances of a reciprocal influence in Blanchot&rsquo\;s own work. When discussing the &lsquo\;violent&rsquo\; relationship of deconstruction to its three biggest influences&mdash\;Martin Heidegger\, Emmanuel Levinas and Maurice Blanchot&mdash\;Jacques Derrida explains that Blanchot resists this violence best. In the final interview before his death\, Derrida insisted that a notion of &lsquo\;survivance&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;living-on&rsquo\; lay at the heart of his entire philosophical trajectory\, evoking Blanchot&rsquo\;s notion of &ldquo\;a survival which is not one\, a death which does not put an end to anything.&rdquo\; Derrida&rsquo\;s most sustained engagement with Blanchot takes place in the mid 1970s with the publication of &ldquo\;Pas\,&rdquo\; as well as the second year of his just-published La Chose seminar (1975-1977). Blanchot&rsquo\;s thought also features importantly in &ldquo\;Discourses of the End&rdquo\;&mdash\;Derrida&rsquo\;s 1983 conversations on the apocalypse and the disaster with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy\, as well as his final seminar\, The Beast and the Sovereign (2002-2003).
In turn\, Session III (&ldquo\;Blanchot &\; Nancy\,&rdquo\; with Kim Schoof) will explore how it is possible that such contrasting perspectives on literature and the experience it offers us of being&rsquo\;s origin emanate from one another. It will do so exploring how Blanchot and Nancy write (occasionally in direct response to one another) about literature\, community\, ontology and &ldquo\;the neuter.&rdquo\; For Blanchot\, literature opens us onto the &ldquo\;Outside&rdquo\; where being originates\, where &ldquo\;I am not [&hellip\;]\; no one is there\, but the impersonal is: the outside\, as that which prevents\, precedes\, and dissolves the possibility of any personal relation.&rdquo\; Yet\, it is Blanchot&rsquo\;s perspective on literature that has inspired Jean-Luc Nancy to view literature as an exemplary way of being in the world. In Nancy&rsquo\;s perspective\, literature is the &ldquo\;coming of the world&rdquo\; or\, in the words of Aukje van Rooden\, &ldquo\;the point at which connections are made\, in which (the world) is created as being\, time and again\, a set of relations in which and by which we live.&rdquo\;
Lastly\, Session IV (&ldquo\;Blanchot Unreceived\,&rdquo\; with Carlos A. Segovia) will focus on how Blanchot seems to approach the question of the relation between language and reality à\; rebours of much contemporary thought\, which\, in repudiating their once-assumed transparency\, tends instead to affirm their reciprocal opacity. For Blanchot\, however\, language is neither the thing named nor its mere absence\, but the tentative recovery of its presence through its very loss\; just as in Mallarmé\;&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Sonnet in -yx\,&rdquo\; for instance\, anguish is neither the one felt in the chest by the poet&mdash\;which lacks a voice and hence proves at once present to him as something real but absent due to its silence&mdash\;nor the one named through the universal notion that would conventionally be assigned to it&mdash\;before whose trivial presence the anguish thus felt would recede into absence: it is rather that thing of hard (whether white or black) &ldquo\;nails&rdquo\; like &ldquo\;onyx&rdquo\; by virtue of which word and world become mutually supplementary and translucent to one another. This will be examined both at the crossroads of today&rsquo\;s thought\, thinkable\, and unthought and along with Blanchot&rsquo\;s re-inscription of being as otherness.

ABOUT INCITE SEMINARS
We are a mix of rogue scholars\, disgruntled academics\, disenchanted buddhists\, enchantment-hungry anarchists\, radical therapists\, and general weirdos looking to create autonomous and accessible forms of &ldquo\;higher education.&rdquo\;
We offer online seminars and reading groups to incite personal exploration and inspire community action. Incite Seminars offers an educational experience. We do so by gathering an engaged group of participants for a dynamic exchange of ideas\, led by skilled facilitators. All of our facilitators have a deep relationship to a subject or topic through intensive study or practice.
Incite Seminars is a 100% member-supported learning community. We depend on member contributions to continue holding space for radical study and practice groups\, putting on rigorous seminars and courses\, and providing our facilitators and organizers with fair compensation. If you are unable to pay the full amount for a session or membership at this time\, we invite you to join us at reduced or no cost with our Solidarity option.
Computational methods and simulations have become a fruitful methodology for philosophers\, particularly for understanding how social relations\, norms\, and communicative structures could and should shape inquiry. Work in computational social philosophy has illuminated phenomena ranging from the epistemic value of diversity and the dynamics of epistemic belonging to the emergence and erosion of norms and processes of polarization.
\nGenerative and agentic AI tools stand to profoundly reshape computational social philosophy in at least two ways:
\nAs objects of study for computational social philosophy. Generative and agentic AI are increasingly embedded in epistemic life: as sources of information\, interlocutors\, surrogates for social participants\, gatekeepers within epistemic communities\, and even partially autonomous epistemic actors. This should motivate a broadening of purview in social epistemology\, which has tended to focus primarily on personal\, interpersonal\, and institutional factors that impact inquiry\, but comparatively less on technological factors. \;
\nAs tools of study for computational social philosophy. These systems can lower the technical barriers to computational work. More interestingly\, they may expand the range of social phenomena philosophers can model\, including richer representations of agents&rsquo\; beliefs and behavior\, more complex interactions and environments\, and even digital-twin-style models of particular communities or institutions.
\nThis cluster brings together philosophers working in\, or seriously engaging with\, computational social philosophy. We are eager to gather a cohort who can bring rigor\, clarity\, and intellectual generosity to advancing understanding in relation to the above themes.
\nWe&rsquo\;re particularly interested in philosophical contributions that engage one or more of the following cross-cutting threads:
\nModeling of AI systems as socio-epistemic phenomena: How might explicitly modeling the effects of AI systems within social epistemic processes challenge\, deepen\, or expand existing understanding in social epistemology and philosophy of science?
\nModeling of socio-epistemic phenomena with AI-based tools: What new forms of social epistemological phenomena can AI-based tools help us represent and investigate beyond traditional methods\, such as typical agent-based models?
\nUnderstanding aims and tradeoffs: How should we think about the tradeoffs between promises of AI-based tools (e.g.\, flexibility\, expressive power\, scale) and other desiderata (e.g.\, robustness\, justification\, tractability\, understanding) that have long been central to computational social philosophy? What can we learn about these issues from the use of AI-based tools in other disciplines such as computational social science?
\nMethodological standards: What standards should guide reliable\, reproducible\, and more generally epistemically and ethically responsible philosophical inquiry using AI-based methods in computational social philosophy?
\nPlease note that\, while we welcome expressions of interest from all disciplines\, this is not a general workshop about AI or AI-based simulations. It is a workshop about how deeper engagement with AI systems as objects of modeling studies and as a modeling tool can ultimately enrich and expand philosophical inquiry.

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

Rather than treating navigation as a domain-specific specialization\, this approach treats it as an evolutionarily ancient and well-characterized architectural template that may have been replicated\, extended\, and abstracted to support a wide range of cognitive capacities.
\nA growing body of work suggests that the hippocampus&ndash\;entorhinal cortex system is not merely a spatial navigation system\, but a general system for managing structured representations and sequences\, supporting planning\, memory\, inference\, imagination\, and offline simulation. At the same time\, complementary research highlights the role of frontoparietal control systems in maintaining\, selecting\, and flexibly manipulating these representations under task demands. Together\, these findings motivate an architectural perspective in which navigation-like mapping and replay mechanisms interact with control\, valuation\, imagery\, and language to support higher cognition.
\nAccordingly\, the guiding idea behind this conference is to explore whether propositional thought itself&mdash\;across linguistic and non-linguistic forms&mdash\;can be understood as emerging from the reuse and extension of navigation-like architectures for offline control\, simulation\, and problem solving.
\nThe conference is also aimed at producing an edited volume on the same topic and foster future research collaborations among participants.

The American experiment in self-government faces a triple challenge. In The Fragility of Order\, 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\, specially in a postmodern cultural context unsure about the truth of anything. 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 and subjectivism in both popular and high culture\, which translated also 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\; that set up a constitutional framework with checks and balances to circumscribe the exercise of political power\, and secure &ldquo\;life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&rdquo\; 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? JIS 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.

Reasons are States of Affairs
Oct 19: \;11am (Buenos Aires)\, 10am (New York)\, 4pm (Berlin).
\nAbstract: \;Reasons have a double role\, a normative role: they count in favor of belief or action\; and an explanatory role: they provide a rational explanation of a subject&rsquo\;s beliefs or actions. These roles pull in different directions regarding the question of the metaphysical nature of reasons&ndash\; are they states of affairs or (true) propositions? Here\, we support the states of affairs view. We first present an argument starting from the particular case of reasons which are available to semantically unsophisticated subjects who do not possess any semantic concepts (such as &ldquo\;truth&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;reference&rdquo\;). We argue that the reasons to which such subjects respond are states of affairs\, and that\, by extension\, \; so are the reasons of more sophisticated subjects. Second\, we undermine arguments for the claim that reasons are propositions &ndash\; or specifically\, fine-grained Fregean propositions. Such arguments appeal to specific cases in which epistemic justification or reason explanation differs in fine-grained ways\, apparently corresponding to differences between the Fregean propositions that are the reasons in these cases. Further arguments appeal to the need of a content-relation between reasons and the supported responses\, which apparently only Fregean propositions can explain and to the nature of (inferential) justification.

\n\nTitle: Ramsey on conditionals and variable hypotheticals
\n\nAbstract:
\nThe standard view in the contemporary literature on conditionals reads Ramsey as evaluating indicative conditionals by conditional probability\, while offering only a few remarks on counterfactuals. This interpretation is associated with the so-called &ldquo\;Ramsey Test&rdquo\;\, a procedure for evaluating conditionals developed by later authors from a short footnote in Ramsey&rsquo\;s General Propositions and Causality (1929). Drawing on his broader writings\, I argue that the picture is not quite accurate: counterfactuals occupy a much more central place in Ramsey&rsquo\;s account than is usually recognized\, and conditional probability is not meant to apply to all indicative conditionals. I present Ramsey&rsquo\;s overall view of conditionals and show how it is connected to his conception of variable hypotheticals &mdash\; a distinctive form of generalization.

\nThat Nietzsche refers to something called perspectivism is well known. Literature on his work has concerned itself with perspectivism for as long as there has been such a literature. Despite this sustained scholarly attention\, consensus as to what exactly Nietzsche means by the term has proven stubbornly elusive\, with there being nearly as many readings as there are readers. This reflects a number of factors\, the most inauspicious of which is that Nietzsche&rsquo\;s own remarks suggest rather different views and seem to pull us in contrary directions. Here\, I propose a way of construing his various claims that renders them consistent and complementary. Work to date\, I&rsquo\;ll argue\, has tended towards a single\, quite fundamental error\, \;viz. the widespread assumption that the term &lsquo\;perspectivism&rsquo\; denotes a doctrine whose content is presented across the canonical perspectivism passages. Instead\, I&rsquo\;ll argue that perspectivism is a \;property. Thinking of perspectivism in these terms\, I hope to demonstrate\, not only offers an account of what perspectivism is but also suggests an explanation of why Nietzsche employs it (and related concepts) in the passages that he does\, and in connection to the various topics on which it is brought to bear.

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

Abstract
Indexicals are philosophers&rsquo\; fiction &ndash\; what counts as an indexical expression engenders interminable debates. It is well-documented that both indexicals and non-indexicals have indexical and non-indexical uses\; languages without pronouns have referential nouns whose essential semantic/pragmatic properties are\, arguably\, not categorically different from those of indexicals. I argue that this lack of a principled distinction calls for regarding indexicality as a functional category &ndash\; indexicals are not expressions but at most functions of expressions. I take on board the case of markers of first-person reference and demonstrate\, using some cross-linguistic evidence\, that a generalised perspective using such a functional category comes with an added advantage of being able to capture the facts that (i) different de se concepts warrant different links to the &lsquo\;self-file&rsquo\; and that (ii) the cognitive access to oneself is a gradable property &ndash\; the characteristics of self-reference that are critical for explicating self-talk.

What are your thoughts?
\n\n\n\n\nIn this discussion\, Dr. Becki Nash will be sharing her research into public and professional attitudes around cosmetic injectables made from human adipose tissue\, sourced from deceased donors.
\nWhat do you think of the idea of being injected with a dead person's tissue? Would you do it? Is it an acceptable\, ethical practice? What concerns would you have\, and why?
\nCome and join the Death Cluster as we talk about this complex evolving trend. Everyone welcome\, no knowledge of cosmetic procedures required. \;
\n\n---
\nAbout Dr. Becki Nash
\nBecki researches cosmetic medical procedures. She is broadly interested in how cosmetic procedures are normalised and routinised in 'everyday' (gendered) beauty practices. Her recent research has focused on how aesthetic practitioners navigate cosmetic entrepreneurship in an increasingly saturated market and how they experience their role as 'gatekeepers' of beauty. She is currently exploring perceptions towards the use of human tissue in cosmetic injectables. Lastly\, Becki has a forthcoming autoethnographic article (The Sociological Review\, in press) that explores the blurring of boundaries between researcher-bodies and/as researched-bodies when conducting aesthetic fieldwork.

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·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;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?
\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.

Zur Beziehung von Werterkenntnis und personaler Verwirklichung bei Scheler und Stein
Edith Stein Archiv Kö\;ln
Max Scheler gehö\;rt zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der phä\;nomenologischen Wertethik. Edith Stein greift seine Ü\;berlegungen auf\, entwickelt sie jedoch in entscheidenden Punkten weiter. Der Vortrag geht der Frage nach\, worin dieser eigenstä\;ndige Beitrag Edith Steins besteht. Im Mittelpunkt stehen das Verhä\;ltnis von Person und Wert\, die Bedeutung des Wertempfangs und der Wertverwirklichung sowie die Frage\, wie Werte das personale Leben prä\;gen. Dabei wird deutlich\, dass Edith Stein die Wertphilosophie Schelers nicht nur ü\;bernimmt\, sondern sie im Horizont ihrer eigenen Anthropologie und ihres Personverstä\;ndnisses weiterfü\;hrt.

Ethos &ndash\; Eidos &ndash\; Imagination: Wahrheit als Wiedererinnerung
Universitä\;t Posen
Mein Vortrag bietet einen Beitrag aus der Wissenschaftstheorie und Bildungsphilosophie an. Ich werde mich auf die antike (Platon\, Aristoteles) und mittelalterliche (Roger Bacon) Lehre von Erkenntnis und Wissen beziehen sowie auf ihre Rezeption in den Naturwissenschaften im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert hinweisen\, um schließ\;lich diese Stellungnahmen mit dem Bildungskonzept von Edith Stein zu konfrontieren (ESGA B. 13 u. 16). Der Ausgangspunkt meines Vortrags ist eine wissenschaftliche\, entmythologisierte Darlegung der Anamnese-Lehre\, die ein frü\;hes Konzept der Kognitionsforschung darstellt. Aus dieser leite ich die wesentliche Unterscheidung von &bdquo\;Erfinden&ldquo\; und &bdquo\;Entdecken&ldquo\; ab. Ich will aufzeigen\, dass es sich beim Wissensfortschritt\, bei jeder Innovation und Transformation darum handelt\, eine menschliche Grunddisposition zu entfalten: die Imagination. Dabei werden jedoch Fragen nach den Grenzen des innovativen Handelns gestellt\, nach der Verwirklichung des inneren Sinns des Wissens: der Wahrheit.

Schö\;nheit und Wahrheit &ndash\; umstrittene Werte in Philosophie und Kunst
Universitä\;t Nü\;rnberg-Erlangen
Als Zeitgenossin von Roman Ingarden und der kunsthistorischen Epoche der Modernen Kunst hielt Edith Stein an der klassischen Auffassung von Kunst fest\, die dem Wahren\, Schö\;nen und Guten verpflichtet ist. In der Kunst setzte sich jedoch die Auffassung durch\, dass die wahrheitsgetreue Abbildung und optische Ü\;bereinstimmung mit der Wirklichkeit nicht die einzigen Mittel sein sollten\, um etwas Wahres auszudrü\;cken. Die Frage nach der Wahrheit von Bildern berü\;hrt unmittelbar die Frage nach deren Wirkung auf unser Bewusstsein. Der moderne Zweifel am Wert der Schö\;nheit und an der Wahrheit von Bildern wird durch digitale Sehgewohnheiten und KI-generierte Bilderwelten zur Selbstverstä\;ndlichkeit. Gleichzeitig schä\;rft sich in der Kunst das Bewusstsein fü\;r den Wert leiblicher Wahrnehmungen und ä\;sthetischer Erfahrungen als Erkenntniszugä\;nge.

It has been said that theorists tend to focus on history as a cultural product &ndash\; one among many other ways in which people in the present relate to the past\, both theirs and of others &ndash\;\, while philosophers tend to focus on the epistemology of what historians (actually or should) do\; or that theorists tend to be closer to &ldquo\;continental&rdquo\; philosophy\, social theory\, and literary theory\, while philosophers tend to be closer mainstream &ldquo\;analytic&rdquo\; philosophy. However\, these distinctions themselves are also quite contested. In fact\, there is little agreement on what &ldquo\;theory of history&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;philosophy of history&rdquo\; individually are\, how they differ\, and how they relate to one another.
\nDespite these problems with definitions\, researchers who share an interest in the theoretical problems that our relations to the human past entail have managed to gather around certain journals\, conferences\, and networks\, suggesting that some sort of connection may be found. Thus\, the argument appeared that &ldquo\;theory and philosophy of history&rdquo\; is more like an interdisciplinary space where scholars from different fields can discuss a common set of objects from their respective perspectives. However\, the details of what perspectives are those and what methodological or conceptual commitments they carry remain unknown. It is also not entirely clear what exactly the connecting thread is that makes such interdisciplinary dialogue possible.
\nThis virtual workshop aims to discuss the methodological challenges and metaphilosophical commitments of different approaches to the theory and philosophy of history as currently (and broadly) envisioned. As such\, we invite proposals for papers that clarify what these approaches consider to be the field&rsquo\;s proper objects\, aims\, and methods\, as well as the basic presuppositions that make such considerations possible. Accordingly\, proposals may deal with questions that include\, among others\, the following:

\nTitle: \; \;The Highs and Lows of Particle Physics (work with Mike Schneider)
\nAbstract:
\nRecent work on the philosophy of high-energy physics experiments has considerably advanced our understanding of their epistemology\, for instance\, concerning measurements by the ATLAS collaboration at the large hadron collider (Beauchemin 2017). In this talk I aim to highlight and analyze complementary low energy &lsquo\;tabletop&rsquo\; experiments in particle (and other kinds of fundamental) physics. In particular\, I contrast ATLAS measurements with high precision measurements of the electron magnetic moment. We find\, for instance\, that the simplicity of the latter experiment allows for uncertainties to be minimized materially\, in the very construction of the apparatus\; it promises to probe new &lsquo\;regimes&rsquo\; of physics found in &lsquo\;increased significant figures&rsquo\; rather than higher energies. We finally suggest that a better appreciation of the capacities of such comparatively &lsquo\;frugal&rsquo\; experiments broadens our conception of &lsquo\;cutting edge&rsquo\; physics\, and ultimately helps to inform value judgments about possible research programs in the field.
\nThis talk will also be available live streamed on:
