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 !

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.

Over forty leading scholars from various countries and disciplines will gather to discuss how indigenous values and philosophies can endure as a transformative force\, despite being undermined by rapid globalization and the afterlife of colonialism. The panels and presentations will address the effects of technological\, environmental\, political\, and other changes on indigenous values and practices in the Global South\, and the latter&rsquo\;s capacity to drive social development in a positive direction. Specific attention will focus on how African feminist thought and activism might draw on indigeneity as a means of contesting patriarchal domination.

\nPower and Ideology\; Foucault and Althusser. On the inherent contradiction between subject and structure
\nWill Pan (Deakin University)
\nAbstract: French (post)structuralism by large is committed to two theses.
\n1. There exists an all-encompassing omnipresent social structure (Ideology\, Discursive\, etc.).
\n2. Members of society\, as subjects are all subjected to this inescapable structure through some form of a social mechanism (interpellation\, inculcation\, power).
\nThese two theses are posited and reposited by many notable French (post)structuralist thinkers\, Claude Levi-Strauss\, Pierre Bourdieu\, but perhaps none more notable than Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser. The theory of Ideology and the theory of power are both strongly influential for philosophers and social theorists committed to analysing subvert forms of structural oppression.
\nIn this paper\, I conduct a symptomatic reading of both Foucault and Althusser. Which means that although the arguments of the texts will be considered and analysed\, I will primarily focus on what the text omits or to use a Freudian term &ndash\; represses. I present a &ldquo\;homology&rdquo\;\, between Foucault&rsquo\;s theory of structure and power\, and Althusser&rsquo\;s theory of Ideology and Interpellation. I will demonstrate that there is an inherent contradiction in both of their theories of structure and subject.
\nBio: Will is a masters student at Deakin University in Philosophy. He graduated his honors and currently tutors at the University of Melbourne. Will is primarily interested in the question of Ideology in the Marxist and Psychoanalytic Tradition.

\nOn Foucault&rsquo\;s 1953-1954 Psychological Causality Lectures \;
\nIsaac Price- Kelly (Deakin University)
\nAbstract: \;In the early 1950s\, Foucault taught a number of classes on psychology as well as working in the field of mental health in more practical ways. Although there has been a recent resurgence in interest in this period of Foucault&rsquo\;s work\, little attention has been paid to the lectures he gave on psychology. Here I will give an overview of these lectures and their context\, establish the sources from which Foucault drew for these lessons\, and outline the major themes and points of interest found in this work. I will draw from Foucault&rsquo\;s reading notes and manuscripts\, the notes taken by students at his lectures\, and the existing body of scholarly literature. The aim is to provide an introduction and orientation to an aspect of Foucault&rsquo\;s work that appears promising as an area for future study\, but has yet to be fruitfully explored.
\nBio: \;Isaac Price-Kelly (any pronouns) is a doctoral student at Deakin University\, studying the concept of textuality in Michel Foucault&rsquo\;s 1960s works.

\nVoluntary Submission and the Aesthetics of Form: Foucault\, Robbe-Grillet\, and the Creative Reconfiguration of Power \;
\nCristian González Arévalo (University of Freiburg) \;
\nAbstract: \;This paper examines voluntary submission as a crucial yet under-theorised problem in Michel Foucault&rsquo\;s legacy. While Foucault&rsquo\;s analyses of power have often been read through the lenses of discipline\, governmentality\, resistance\, and critique\, less attention has been paid to the ways in which subjects actively bind themselves to relations of power and participate in the formation of their own subjection. Against readings that reduce submission either to domination or to simple consent\, this paper argues that voluntary submission should be understood as an aesthetic-performative practice of self-formation. The argument proceeds by rethinking aesthetics beyond the philosophy of beauty or the theory of art. Drawing on Foucault&rsquo\;s writings on visibility\, painting\, and the aesthetics of existence\, aesthetics is approached here as the organisation of sensibility: the configuration of bodies\, gestures\, gazes\, scenes\, and forms of experience. From this perspective\, voluntary submission appears not as passivity\, but as a situated practice through which subjects expose themselves\, assume constraints\, and transform power relations from within. The paper then stages a dialogue between Foucault&rsquo\;s reflections on S/M\, theories of performativity\, and the literary aesthetics of Alain Robbe-Grillet. Robbe-Grillet&rsquo\;s nouveau roman\, with its suspension of psychological interiority\, moral explanation\, and stable narrative meaning\, offers a model for thinking form as a device that produces experience rather than merely represents it. This model helps clarify Foucault&rsquo\;s claim that S/M can function as a &ldquo\;creative enterprise&rdquo\;: not because it liberates a hidden sexual truth\, but because it invents scenes in which power\, pleasure\, obedience\, and resistance become visible\, reversible\, and available for transformation. By linking voluntary submission to aesthetic form\, this paper proposes a renewed reading of Foucault&rsquo\;s legacy: one in which freedom is not opposed to self-binding\, but emerges through historically situated practices that reorganise the very conditions of subjectivation.

\nHow to Talk about Human Rights in Occupied Iraq \;
\nMax Hoddinott (University of New South Wales) \;
\nAbstract: \;In scholarly accounts of the 2003&ndash\;04 occupation of Iraq\, human rights and neoliberalism are overwhelmingly treated as independent phenomena\, resulting in two largely autonomous literatures: one concerned with the question\, &ldquo\;What is the nature of the relationship between the occupying powers and human rights?&rdquo\;\, and the other with the question\, &ldquo\;On what grounds is the occupation properly described as neoliberal?&rdquo\;. This paper proceeds from the premise that this bifurcation is a mistake. Drawing upon conceptual resources from texts such as The Birth of Biopolitics and The History of Sexuality\, as well as more recent contributions in philosophy\, political theory\, and intellectual history\, this paper argues in favour of a methodological shift away from the dominant left-cosmopolitan and Marxist treatments of the human rights/neoliberalism relationship in the context of the Iraq occupation. Turning instead toward a Foucauldian tradition which homes in upon the functions and effects of discourse\, the paper argues in favour of conceptualising the occupation as having been contoured by a neoliberal rationality\, and in turn for situating the occupiers&rsquo\; rhetoric within an established&mdash\;albeit diffuse\, fractured\, and often improvisational&mdash\;tradition of neoliberal human rights.
\nBio: \;Max Hoddinott is a third-year PhD candidate in philosophy at the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on the politics of human rights discourse in the context of the 2003&ndash\;04 occupation of Iraq\, with a particular emphasis on questions of neoliberalism\, legitimacy\, and power. He previously completed an MA at UNSW on the topic of labour human rights.

\nPastoral Power and the Production of the Anticipatory Reproductive Subject \;
\nAshlee Wilson (Deakin University) \;
\nAbstract: \;Michel Foucault&rsquo\;s concept of biopower has become central to analyses of reproduction but I think that his account of pastoral power offers a richer framework for understanding contemporary reproductive governance. I will examine how reproductive governance increasingly operates through &lsquo\;pastoral&rsquo\; relations that encourage women to assume responsibility for the health of future children. Rather than relying solely on prohibition or coercion\, power functions by creating self-governing subjects who monitor and regulate their own conduct in anticipation of uncertain reproductive futures.
\nDrawing on Foucault&rsquo\;s account of pastoral power as an individualising and caring form of governance\, I argue that women are produced as anticipatory reproductive subjects whose moral obligation is to optimise future maternal and foetal outcomes. Medical advice and public heath interventions encourage continual self-surveillance and confession\, positioning reproductive responsibility as an ethical duty rather than an external demand. Although these practices appear benevolent\, they simultaneously expand the reach of governance into intimate aspects of everyday life whilst obscuring the structural conditions that shape reproductive decision making.
\nBy examining contemporary reproductive governance through the lens of pastoral power\, I will demonstrate the continued relevance of Foucault&rsquo\;s work for understanding how reproductive subjects are produced and through responsibility and self-government.
\nBio: \;Ashlee Wilson \;is a PhD Candidate in Philosophy at Deakin University. Her research examines reproductive governance and the ways the possibility of reproduction shapes women&rsquo\;s lives long before pregnancy through emerging understandings of epigenetics\, public health\, and biopolitics. Drawing on feminist political philosophy and feminist bioethics\, her work explore how reproductive responsibility is increasingly extended across the life course\, reshaping ideas of autonomy and bodily governance.

Governmentality in the 21st-century welfare state UID:20260908T014924Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-9cf6q TZID:Australia/Melbourne LOCATION:Tower 2 level 12/727 Collins St\, Melbourne\, Australia\, 3008 DESCRIPTION:Graduate Panel 2
\nDude Where&rsquo\;s My Dole? Governmentality in the 21st-century welfare state \;
\nJoel Duggan (University of Melbourne) \;\nAbstract: \;In recent Australian history\, economic policymaking has taken an almost uniquely &ldquo\;rational&rdquo\; form. Yet\, Australia entered the 20th century as the democratic laboratory of the world. Drawing upon the Hegelianism of the British idealists\, the state was conceived as constituent in human flourishing\, an idea ultimately leading to the birth of the world&rsquo\;s first &ldquo\;living wage.&rdquo\; By the end of the 20th century\, any such notion was lost. What Michael Pusey called &ldquo\;economic rationalism&rdquo\; had taken hold\, and all politics since has taken place in its shadow.
\n\n\n\nWhat the Australian case represents is a paradigm shift in governmentality\, unique in the sense that we went from among the most aspirational of nation-building states to among the most \;rigidly positivist. Putting Foucault in dialogue with Weber and Wolin\, I argue that since the 1980s\, governance in Australia has come to exemplify a pastoral power that subordinates social welfare policy to the imperatives of modern Staatsräson. I pose that the uneasy tension (or harmony?) between this pastoral power and the founding social-liberal ideas of Australia&rsquo\;s welfare state is pivotal to any theory attempting to understand three recent policy crises in Robodebt\, the mutual obligations system and the National Disability Insurance Scheme. \;

He also uses many divergent metaphors for the action of this philosophy which the Bacon-as-Promethean interpretations pass over\, including sacred marriage\, building a temple\, finding a way in a forest or labyrinth\, and contemplative reading. Part 4 shows that in Bacon&rsquo\;s readings of Orpheus and Prometheus inWisdom of the Ancients\, he compares natural philosophy to Orpheus&rsquo\;s music\; and if anything\, that Bacon more closely identifies with Orpheus or &ldquo\;universal philosophy&rdquo\; than Prometheus. \; In Part 5\, we test our Orphic (as well as Promethean) reading of Bacon\, by looking at his readings of the myths of Pan and Cupid\, noting that in his reading of these myths\, nature is not presented as a wholly hostile reality\, but one of plenitude\, shaped by a universal &ldquo\;love&rdquo\; (force of attraction) operating at the elemental level. Part 6 finally shows that Isis symbolism pervades Bacon&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Feast of the Family&rdquo\; inNew Atlantis\, which is a ritual of reverence to the fecundity of nature\, opposing critics&rsquo\; images of Baconian naturalists torturing a hostile nature.

The second Bodies in Digital Transition (BDT) edition traverses the materiality of the mechanical body itself: what embodied gestures and rhythms animate its operations? What moves beneath its surface? What kind of being emerges in the loops of its code? From the lures of the aesthetic surface to the recursive depths of its algorithmic core\, this year BTD aims to dissect the machine&rsquo\;s anatomy across several strata that form a speculative topology of the machinic body\; a descent through appearance\, mechanism\, and ontology toward the thresholds where technology ceases to represent and begins to be. In mapping out the systems of embodiment inhabited by digital beings\, we also open up inquiry into how human agents author\, come into contact with\, and transform machine bodies. There is neither &ldquo\;the technology itself&rdquo\; nor &ldquo\;the aesthetics itself&rdquo\; but rather a method of design in which the two are mutually implicated. To resist interior&ndash\;exterior divides open inquiries of how human agents encounter and transform machinic bodies through the intra-active practice of design.
\nDigital bodies condition human expression and are conditioned by cultural inflections at each strata. The plural and distributed materialities of digital systems span beyond physical objects\, but encompass code\, electromagnetic waves\, and sensory outputs in complex and multiple communicating layers. How does the agency act as this morphing web?
\nFollowing a post-human stance\, neither digital nor human cognition is assumed to be contained within an algorithmic nucleus. Instead\, it is conceived as emerging through relations across each stratum\, whose analytical isolation is not intended to fix ontologies\, but to map a topology of multiple\, non-linear processes through which agencies coalesce.
\nTo move beyond the limits of this configuration and to encourage crossing of boundaries\, we invite trans-disciplinary experimental and highly speculative inquiry and action into the machinic as event\, intra-action\, and formation of being.

Workshop &ldquo\;The Good Life: Well-being and Meaningfulness&rdquo\;
\nMost people want their lives to go well. They also want their lives to be meaningful. While well-being and meaningfulness have both received extensive attention in the philosophical literature\, the relationship between them remains underexplored. This workshop will explore the concepts of well-being\, meaningfulness\, and their relationship\, discussing questions such as: Is a meaningful life always high in well-being\, and vice versa? Does the nature of meaningfulness depend on the nature of well-being? And does a good life require both well-being and meaningfulness?

\n10&ndash\;11 September 2026
Husserl Archives\, University of Cologne
Kerpener Str. 30\, 50937 Cologne\, Germany
Phenomenology has often presented itself as a method capable of freeing thought from unexamined assumptions. Yet critical\, political\, and Marxist phenomenologies have shown that experience is always situated within historical\, social\, and political horizons. At the same time\, phenomenology has itself been criticized for obscuring the socio-historical mediations that constitute subjectivity.
\nThe workshop explores this tension by asking whether phenomenology can serve as a method of ideology critique\, where the limits of such a critique lie\, and to what extent phenomenology may itself become implicated in ideological formations. The contributions address gender ideology\, social imaginaries\, reification\, political belonging\, war\, science\, and the relationship between phenomenology and Marxism.

[A} great deal of the conceptual history of biology may be read as a struggle between two philosophical positions: reductionism and holism&rdquo\; (Piggliuci 2014). This enduring tension has fueled deep disagreement about the nature and study of life. In twentieth-century biology\, the organicist tradition sought to resolve this tension by seeking a &ldquo\;third-way&rdquo\; that rejects the reductionist assumption that life can be analyzed exhaustively in physico-chemical terms while\, at the same time\, rejecting dubious appeals to immaterial vital forces to explain the behavior of whole living systems.
\nIn contemporary philosophy of biology\, a prominent manifestation of the holist tradition is the Theory of Biological Autonomy (TBA) which explains the causal structure of a whole living organism in terms of constraints and energetic processes. A prominent manifestation of the reductionist tradition\, on the other hand\, is New Mechanism (NM) which\, traditionally\, analyzes the causal structure of biological mechanisms in terms of entities\, activities\, and organization.
\nRecently\, however\, a number of philosophers have been developing an updated New Mechanist analysis of biological mechanisms that construes them as consisting of constraints and energetic processes . As philosophers have pointed out\, this conceptual overlap between the ToBA and NM offers opportunities for theoretical synthesis and\, more ambitiously\, the possibility of establishing a novel &ldquo\;third way&rdquo\; to resolve the conflicting holist and reductionist tendencies running through the history of biology.
\nThe goal of this workshop is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of philosophers\, biologists\, and historians to foster dialogue across theoretical traditions to develop the ToBA-NM synthesis and critically assess it from historical and social scientific perspectives on the wider interacting histories of reductionism and holism in biology.
\nThus\, while the proposed synthesis of ToBA and NM will thematize discussion\, the workshop hopes to encourage wider interdisciplinary reflection on historical and contemporary theoretical and empirical practice in the life sciences. We aim to: 1) Clarify the conceptual and methodological relationship between ToBA and the updated NM framework. 2) consider a) their theoretical and historical relationship to other forms of reductionism and holism and b) evaluate the prospects for the synthesis of TBA and NM succeeding as a &ldquo\;third way&rdquo\; by the lights of the wider organicist tradition. 3) Draw upon insights derived from recent inter-disciplinary efforts between philosophers in the autonomy tradition and various scientists seeking to apply the theory of autonomy in empirical investigation of biological systems at different levels of organization (e.g. ecosystems\, eusocial insects\, organismal\, neuro\, biophysical\, physico-chemical). 4) Reflect on the broader implications of the proposed synthesis for ongoing debates about explanation and organization in the life sciences.
\nA small amount of money will be available to off-set student travel costs.
\nWe aim for the workshop to be a "works in progress" event\, giving early career scholars and scientists the opportunity to share their developing ideas in small informal "break out" groups to get feedback. We ask potential attendees to submit a short 500-750 word abstract to Andrew Bollhagen (aabollhagen@ucdavis.edu) and Sebastian Sander Oest (s.s.oest@ifikk.uio.no). \;

Scholarship on \;epistemic injustice \;(Hall 2017\; Wesp et al. 2019) and \;situated knowledges \;(Haraway 1988) shows how these exclusions are embedded in the very processes through which knowledge is produced and legitimised. Insights from gender/sex pluralism (Monro 2005\; 2019\; Preciado 2013) further highlight how institutional systems struggle to \;accommodate the complexity of lived identities \;within and beyond binary frameworks. Transformative inclusion within healthcare settings therefore requires more than updated curricula or revised clinical guidelines: it calls for new methodological imagination (see e.g. Pendleton &\; Pezaro 2025).
\nThis year&rsquo\;s TransCare conference invites \;scholars\, practitioners\, educators\, and community researchers \;to explore how \;creative\, interdisciplinary\, and humanities‑driven methodologies \;can reshape the production of knowledge in healthcare. Building on the 2024 edition&rsquo\;s focus on educational tools\, TransCare turns its attention to the research practices that make such tools possible. We ask how \;arts‑based\, participatory\, speculative\, and community‑led approaches \;can open pedagogical and methodological pathways that affirm gender diversity\, challenge normative assumptions\, and cultivate critical and trans‑affirming pedagogies and research.
\nTo do so\, we aim to foreground methodology not as a technical procedure but as a site where \;knowledge\, care\, and power intersect. Approaches that centre \;lived experience\, relationality\, and reflexivity \;can unsettle dominant epistemic frames and generate new possibilities for teaching and practice. Attending to the \;affective and embodied dimensions of research \;and care (Malatino 2020\; 2022) further highlights the need for methodologies that recognise and value ways of knowing and dealing with trans and intersex communities\, particularly in challenging social and political settings.
\nThe 2026 edition continues TransCare&rsquo\;s commitment to interdisciplinary exchange by emphasising methodology as a site of care\, ethics\, and transformation (Puig de la Bellacasa 2017). \;We welcome contributions that rethink how education and research are designed\, conducted\, interpreted\, and taught\, and that imagine new infrastructures for trans\, gender-diverse\, and intersex&ndash\;inclusive healthcare education.
\n\;
\nScope of Contributions
\nWe welcome contributions from across disciplines\, sectors\, and methodological traditions. Submissions may address\, but are \;not limited \;to\, the following areas:
\nWe particularly encourage submissions that experiment with form\, challenge disciplinary boundaries\, or propose new infrastructures for trans\, gender‑diverse\, and intersex&ndash\;inclusive healthcare research and education. However\, please do not be intimidated: \;all approaches and levels of experimentation are welcome.
\n\;
\nPublication Opportunity
\nWe are also collecting expressions of interest for a \;collected volume on creative\, interdisciplinary\, and humanities‑driven methodologies for trans\, gender‑diverse\, and intersex&ndash\;inclusive healthcare research and education.

\nThe "Foundations" Conference is The Forum's dedicated space for early‑career researchers exploring the rich\, complex intersections between scientific inquiry and religious thought. This event provides an intellectually supportive environment where emerging scholars can develop foundational skills\, exchange ideas\, and engage critically with the theoretical and practical dimensions of the field. This conference explores the dynamic and sometimes contested borders between scientific understanding and religious interpretation\, asking how these two influential domains shape&mdash\; and are shaped by&mdash\; one another in contemporary thought and practice.
\nAs scientific knowledge expands and religious traditions continue to evolve\, questions emerge about where boundaries should be drawn\, how they shift\, and what happens when they overlap. This conference examines these issues through interdisciplinary lenses\, bringing together voices from theology\, philosophy\, history\, the natural and social sciences\, and professional practice. By focusing on the boundaries of theory and practice\, this event aims not only to map the current landscape of science and religion studies but also to empower the next generation of scholars to shape its future.

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:

Anaximander&rsquo\;s fragment has been interpreted in various different ways. The young Nietzsche reads in it a &ldquo\;pessimism&rdquo\; comparable to that of Schopenhauer\, whereas Heidegger\, in his 1946 lecture series &ldquo\;The Anaximander Fragment\,&rdquo\; criticizes Nietzsche for projecting a moralistic sentiment onto the early Pre-Socratic. Anaximander&rsquo\;s fragment\, argues Heidegger\, is &ldquo\;neither pessimistic nor nihilistic\; nor is it optimistic. It is tragic.&rdquo\;
Although Heidegger&rsquo\;s critique is probably correct\, it is symptomatic of a more general critique against Nietzsche. In the chapter &ldquo\;The Concept of &lsquo\;Chaos&rsquo\;&rdquo\; in his great book on Nietzsche\, Heidegger asserts that Nietzsche&rsquo\;s conception of chaos is far off from the &ldquo\;original Greek meaning&rdquo\; of a yawning abyss as found in Hesiod. Nietzsche\, however\, seems way more interested in the pluralistic &ldquo\;Anaxagorian chaos\,&rdquo\; which he contrasts with the apeiron of Anaximander. Not to mention their shared interest in Heraclitus&mdash\;could not Heidegger&rsquo\;s defense of Anaximander in the first place be a hint at his perennial critique of Nietzsche&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;modern&rdquo\; thinking? And could not Nietzsche&rsquo\;s preference for Anaxagoras point at a wholly different picture\, where chaos can be freed of its &ldquo\;original Greek meaning&rdquo\;&mdash\;quite ironically\, already in the Pre-Socratics?
In this seminar\, we turn to the Greek origins of the term &lsquo\;chaos\,&rsquo\; contrasting an &ldquo\;abyssal&rdquo\; with a more creative reading. No prior knowledge is required. All key texts will be provided on registration.

FACILITATOR
Having lived and studied all around the world\, Hannes Schumacher works at the threshold between philosophy and art. He has carried out intensive research on Hegel and Deleuze\, and he has also published widely on Nishida\, Nāgārjuna\, chaos theory\, global mysticism\, and contemporary art. Hannes is the founder of the Berlin-based publisher Freigeist Verlag\, co-founder of the grassroots art space Chaosmos &infin\; in Athens\, Greece\, and he collaborates extensively with the literary translator Peter Constantine and World Poetry Books\, New York. He has facilitated the following courses and groups at Incite Seminars: &ldquo\;Nishida Kitarō: The Logic of Place and the Religious Worldview&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Who&rsquo\;s Afraid of Hegel: Introduction to G. W. F. Hegel&rsquo\;s Science of Logic&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Chaos Research Group&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Reading After Finitude by Quentin Meillassoux&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Deleuze &\; Guattari: What is Philosophy?&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Plato&rsquo\;s chô\;ra through the lens of Derrida&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Anarchia and Archai: Reimagining the Pre-Socratics&rdquo\; (with Carlos A. Segovia)\; &ldquo\;Reading Nietzsche&rsquo\;s Zarathustra&rdquo\; (current)\; &ldquo\;Liana of the Resurrected&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;The Body without Organs&rdquo\;\; and &ldquo\;Introduction to Chaos Theory.&rdquo\;
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.
When we look at current research across the natural and social sciences dealing with explanations of phenomena in their respective fields\, the word &lsquo\;explanation&rsquo\; is often modified with an adjective: causal\, non-causal\, mechanistic\, nomological/law-based\, topological\, mathematical\, and narrative are some of the non-mutually-exclusive modifiers that one may encounter. It is generally accepted that fields such as physics rely more on laws for their explanatory practices than disciplines such as cell biology\, which are\, for the most part\, concerned with mechanistic explanations\, for example. In the philosophy of science\, particularly since the advent of the New Mechanism literature in the 1990s\, barring some exceptions\, there has been relatively little sustained work on the pragmatic side of law-based explanations as opposed to other explanatory modalities\, and the interest that law-based explanations have garnered has mostly focused on the metaphysics of laws. This workshop aims to bring the philosophy of law-based explanations\, with particular attention to their pragmatic dimensions\, back into focus. Moreover\, while being historically informed\, the hope is to discuss new directions within this strand of the philosophy of explanation. Some questions for consideration could include (in no particular order):

\nSeptember 14\, 2026 9a-5p (EDT = UTC-4)
\nVirtual (on Zoom)
\nHosted by the University of Pittsburgh
\nDiagnosis is central to the practice of medicine\, yet it raises questions that medicine alone cannot answer. What is a diagnosis? What and who is it for? How do we deal with uncertainty about diagnosis and responsibility for it? As artificial intelligence reshapes how diagnoses are reached and what clinical reasoning is\, these questions have become increasingly urgent. This virtual workshop brings together philosophers\, clinicians\, and researchers to examine diagnosis in a series of talks\, starting with core questions about what diagnosis is and should be and what technological developments mean for its future.

\nBeatrice Serini \;
Abstract: \;Where do we eat? Restaurants\, café\;s\, kitchens and dining rooms may seem like obvious answers\, but eating also takes place in parks\, streets\, markets\, workplaces\, public squares\, gardens\, vehicles and many other spaces. Despite their ubiquity\, the spaces in which food is consumed have received comparatively little systematic philosophical attention.
\nThis talk introduces Gastrospaces\, a research project developed at the intersection of analytic philosophy\, political philosophy and social ontology. The concept gastrospace provides a common analytical category for examining the diverse spaces in which eating takes place and for asking what makes these spaces socially\, politically and culturally significant. \; The project investigates how material arrangements\, social norms\, human and non-human agents\, and patterns of use interact to shape what can happen in a gastrospace and who can participate in it\, asking how apparently ordinary arrangements of food and space can enable inclusion\, exclusion\, discrimination\, conviviality\, distinction or care.
\nThe talk will first present the ontological framework and its main components\, and then provide an overview of the kinds of questions that the framework can help address. It will conclude by considering how this framework can be extended beyond philosophy\, particularly in food studies\, geography\, urban planning\, design and policy.
\nBio: \;Beatrice Serini\, PhD\, is an independent researcher and co-coordinator of Culinary Mind (International Centre for the Philosophy of Food). Her work explores the normative and conceptual dimensions of food and food systems\, with a particular interest in intersections between food\, health\, and technology\, as well as the cultural politics and ontology of the places where we eat.

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. Keynote: Dawn Lewis Sutherland (Liberty University): "Democracy After Datafication: Personhood and the Renewal of Ordered Liberty."

\nTitle: A Gravitomagnetic Bootstrap: localizing rotational and conformal structure in Newtonian gravity as a path to general relativity
\nAbstract:
\nHistorically Newtonian gravity was understood in terms of long-range forces imposed on an absolute spacetime background\, we now know it can be better understood as a localization of inertial structure - or at least of that part which distinguishes inertial motion from rectilinear acceleration. That perspective suggests a natural generalization: what if we also localize other aspects of inertial structure\, like rotation and scale\, and make them depend on matter dynamically? The resultant theory is uniquely determined up to an overall constant with the dimensions of velocity. It fails to be Galilean covariant\; investigating this failure allows one to 'bootstrap' up to (local) Lorentz covariance in a manner closely analogous to the bootstrap from magnetostatics to Maxwell's theory and special relativity. The resultant theory is equivalent to the first post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity.

He presents and assesses three versions of the idea of the multiverse: one from philosophy and two from physics. He explores: the ideas of logically possible worlds\, the branches of the quantum state (in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics)\, and the bubbles of inflationary cosmology. For each idea\, he selects one philosophical question to explore in depth. They are\, respectively: what is a possible world\, what is chance\, and what is explanation?
\nOn Sep 16 2026\, 18.00 CEST\, we'll host a virtual book launch in which Jeremy Butterfield will present his book in conversation with Al Wilson (Leeds) and Richard Dawid (Stockholm).

\nRobust Strength of Will
\nDate and time: Thursday 17 September 2026\, 18:00&ndash\;19:30 UK/Ireland time
\nWeakness of will\, understood as free and intentional action against one&rsquo\;s best judgment or resolution\, is typically taken to be a paradigm example of irrational behavior. There is widespread agreement that strength of will\, in contrast\, is a desirable\, normatively binding feature of our agency. But what exactly is strength of will? How does it work\, and why should we exercise it? In this talk\, I provide a phenomenological account of strength of will. I first briefly outline one popular and attractive theory\; despite its plausibility\, I argue\, it delivers an insufficiently precise account of the normative pressures associated with strength of will. I then leverage two Husserl-inspired notions &mdash\; &lsquo\;position-taking&rsquo\; and the &lsquo\;I can&rsquo\; &mdash\; and flesh out a phenomenologically more faithful account which\, I suggest\, captures the normative mechanisms underwriting strength of will.

\nConference online
\nTo remember \; sometimes means to experience again. That is the case of trauma. However\, recovery from trauma is also based on memory. The question\, then\, is not how to forget painful memories\, but how to remember without suffering.
During this conference we would like to concentrate on the phenomena of trauma and recovery\, to look at how memory is involved in the traumatic experience and the recovery process and explore\, among other questions\, what we remember and forget\, what causes suffering and how to deal with it.
We are interested in all aspects of traumatic experiences\, in their individual and collective dimensions\, in the past and in the present-day world. We would like to examine the role of memory in both falling into trauma and overcoming it. Thus\, we want to describe the phenomena of trauma and recovery in their multifarious manifestations: psychological\, social\, historical\, cultural\, philosophical\, religious\, economic\, political\, and many others. As usual\, we also want to devote considerable attention to how these phenomena appear in artistic practices: literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: anthropology\, history\, psychiatry\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, politics\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, memory studies\, migration studies\, consciousness studies\, dream studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, cognitive sciences\, and urban studies and others.
Different forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical inqueries\, problem-oriented arguments or comparative analyses.
We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers\, as well as doctoral and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
The topics for the conference include but are not limited to the following suggestions:
I. Individual experiences
- Trauma and childhood memories
- Trauma and child abuse
- Trauma and violence against women
- Trauma and domestic violence
- Trauma and old age
- Trauma and love
