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:20260418T095450Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260220T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T170000 SUMMARY:Online Bayle Seminar 2026 : Education and Pedagogy in the Philosopher of Rotterdam UID:20260421T194414Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-g4ggw 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\;
\nFriday 20 March\, 2:00 pm: Isabelle Moreau (ENS de Lyon): \;&ldquo\;Bayle: education and religious identity&rdquo\;
\nFriday 24 April\, 2:00 pm: Ana Carmona (University of Geneva): \;&ldquo\;Text analysis: the power of prejudices&rdquo\;
\nFriday 22 May\, 2:00 pm: Chiara Musolino (Paris 1 University): \;&ldquo\;How to read philosophy? The pedagogy of doubt at work in Pierre Bayle&rdquo\;

\nABSTRACT:
\nMany forms of verbal discourse are dangerous and cause harm\, yet slurs are repeatedly distinguished for special moral censure\, so much so that in many liberal democracies\, their use is not legally protected. \;What is wrong with using them? \;In this paper\, I aim to illuminate why slurs are rightly singled out for special\, deeper social censure. Such acts do typically perform wrongs and cause numerous harms: they negatively stereotypes\, reductively de-individualize\, create and perpetuate social hierarchies and social exclusion\, and undermine the target group&rsquo\;s reputation\, as many researchers have shown. Nevertheless\, I believe none of these captures the distinctive moral wrong in slurring speech acts. \;To illuminate their moral dimension\, I take inspiration from moral-psychological work on degradation\, humiliation\, and dehumanization\, as well as work on the distinctive wrong in interrogational torture. \;Sussman\, Luban\, and Kramer have argued that what is \;distinctively \;wrong with interrogational torture is not the extreme pain itself &ndash\; though of course it \;is \;wrong for that. What makes torture distinctively wrong is it being used as a tool to humiliate by forcing the victim \;via their affective experience \;to\, effectively\, collude with the torturer\, and do so against their will. To torture\, the torturer ensures that the victim experiences their own agency as undermined\, as &lsquo\;owned&rsquo\; by the torturer. Building on these ideas\, I argue that a prime source of the perniciousness in weapon uses of slurs that distinguishes them from other harmful types of speech parallels a deep wrong inherent to torture: the perversion and undermining of the slur&rsquo\;s target&rsquo\;s agency by forcing them to perceive and experience \;themselves \;as lesser humans. Weapon uses of slurs in the conditions of most vulnerability are best seen as micro-linguistic acts of torture. I close this paper by addressing the moral dimension of slur-mentions. I argue that there is a foundational moral wrong in slur-mentions\, one that is \;parasitic \;on the moral wrong in using slurs. Slurs\, the words themselves\, function as \;representations \;of the perversion and undermining of their target group&rsquo\;s agency\, akin to the way photographic representations of torture (and lynching and rape) function. In non-legal or non-education contexts\, they can be abused\, with the representations serving as additional \;symbolic \;humiliations and affronts to the human dignity of the target groups.

Abstract
In his famous paper (1970)\, Lakatos described the methodology of scienti c rese-
arch programmes (MSRP\, henceforth) as a rationalization of conventionalism.
What he had in mind was that MSRP removes the conventionalist residues from
Popperian falsi cationism while retaining its general spirit. First\, Lakatos&rsquo\;s MSRP
and Ajdukiewicz&rsquo\;s concept of a conceptual apparatus will be sketched. Next\, it will
be argued that Ajdukiewicz\, as early as 1934\, although he adopted the label of radi-
cal conventionalism for his standpoint\, in many ways anticipated Lakatos&rsquo\;s strategy
for combating the core of conventionalism. Admittedly\, the two philosophers put
forward their proposals in di erent contexts of philosophical debate&mdash\;the former
aiming to generalize French conventionalism\, the latter attempting to re ne
Popper&rsquo\;s falsi cationism. Still\, on a liberal reading of Ajdukiewicz&rsquo\;s concept of
a conceptual apparatus\, its constitutive meaning-rules can be interpreted as de -
nitional elements of Lakatos&rsquo\;s hard core of a scienti c research programme\, while
the evolutionary tendencies of conceptual apparatuses seem to play the role
Lakatos assigned to the criteria for classifying a programme as progressive.

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.
\nApproximate running times BST (tbc):
\n15th May: 12noon - 5pm (conference) Gowland Lecture (7:30 tbc)
\n16th May: 9am - 2pm
\n\n* note whilst all papers \;must \;engage with science and religion/worldviews the Forum welcomes submissions related natural and/or social sciences.
\n\nWhile submissions on any relevant theme are welcome\, proposals may wish to engage with one or more of the following areas:
\nThe Very Small: Subatomic Physics\, Quantum Phenomena\, and Theological Reflection
How do contemporary understandings of quantum reality\, particle physics\, or emergent complexity influence theological anthropology\, divine action\, or metaphysical models?
The Very Large: Cosmology\, Astrophysics\, and Questions of Creation
What religious questions arise from current models of cosmic origins\, multiverse theories\, dark matter and energy\, or the expanding universe?
Aesthetics\, Wonder\, and the Scientific Imagination
How might the beauty\, intricacy\, and apparent fine‑tuning of the natural world inspire new forms of theological wonder\, spirituality\, or liturgical expression?
Interdisciplinary Opportunities for Dialogue Between Science and Faith
In what ways can emerging scientific fields&mdash\;such as astrobiology\, AI\, systems biology\, or neuroscience&mdash\;open fresh pathways for constructive engagement with religious traditions?
Those who wish to present a paper must submit an abstract with the characteristics indicated below by March 15\, 2026.

\nThe 4th \;International Seminar on Theology\, Religion\, Culture and Humanities
\nFaculty of Theology\, Sanata Dharma University\, Yogyakarta\, Indonesia \;(Pontifical Faculty of Theology &ldquo\;Wedabhakti&rdquo\;)
\nBackground
\nWith rapid advances in technology\, artificial intelligence\, shifting societies\, environmental challenges\, and growing cultural diversity\, the question \;&ldquo\;What does it mean to be human?&rdquo\; \;is more pressing than ever. In Asia\, and especially in Indonesia\, this question arises amid communal ways of life\, interreligious exchanges\, economic disparities\, and the ongoing balance between tradition and modernity.
\nPhilosophy and Catholic theology both provide valuable perspectives on human nature\, dignity\, freedom\, and responsibility. Alongside these\, recent developments in biology\, psychology\, insights from Asian wisdom\, local cultures\, and contextual theologies contribute new understandings to worldwide discussions on philosophical and theological anthropology.
\nThis international seminar aims to create a scholarly space for thoughtful debate and meaningful dialogue about what it means to be human today\, with a particular focus on Asian &ndash\; Indonesian experiences while welcoming global viewpoints.
\nThis seminar is held annually and organized by Faculty of Theology\, Sanata Dharma University\, Yogyakarta\, Indonesia (Pontifical Faculty of Theology &ldquo\;Wedabhakti&rdquo\;).

\n(Sé\;minaire CIPh - Dé\;coloniser l'hermé\;neutique | Ré\;union-Joindre | Microsoft Teams)
\nCe sé\;minaire interroge un point aveugle majeur de l'hermé\;neutique contemporaine. Hé\;ritiè\;re de Schleiermacher\, Dilthey\, Heidegger\, Gadamer et Ric&oelig\;ur\, elle s'est constitué\;e comme enquê\;te sur l'é\;mergence du sens tout en se stabilisant autour d'un paradigme scriptural et linguistique. Cette orientation n'est pas neutre : elle dé\;finit ce qui fait autorité\; et tend à\; considé\;rer les cultures d'oralité\; &mdash\; africaines notamment &mdash\; comme un exté\;rieur à\; inté\;grer. Or\, dans des univers où\; l'oralité\;\, le rituel\, l'art\, la mé\;moire communautaire et le corps structurant le rapport au monde\, le sens ne se dé\;pose pas d'abord dans l'é\;crit : il s'effectue dans des mé\;diations symboliques et institutionnelles. La question hermé\;neutique devient alors aussi é\;thique : interpré\;ter\, c'est ré\;pondre devant autrui dans des histoires marqué\;es par la domination et la capture é\;pisté\;mique. Le sé\;minaire propose ainsi de dé\;placer l'hermé\;neutique de l'inté\;rieur en confrontant ses pré\;supposé\;s aux enjeux des ressources de la philosophie africaine. La thè\;se exploré\;e est celle d'une hermé\;neutique processionnelle : l'é\;vé\;nement ouvre le sens\, les mé\;diations symboliques et corporelles l'effectuent\, et l'interpré\;tation publique l'approprie selon des formes de validation compatibles avec l'oralité\;. En dialogue avec Lé\;vy-Bruhl\, Romano et des penseurs africains tels qu'Eboussi Boulaga\, Mudimbe\, Mbembe\, Serequeberhan ou Fanon\, le sé\;minaire entend renouveler l'hermé\;neutique comme pensé\;e des mé\;diations efficaces du sens et comme voie d'attestation d'humanité\; dans la condition postcoloniale.

\nEthical Dimensions of AI Health Monitoring as a Gendered Practice
\nAnita Ho (University of British Columbia)

\nID Teams: 380943280593279\nPassword: AA3Td6AH\n# Seminar 27: AI-enabled health monitoring technologies are increasingly integrated into clinical\, home-based\, and long-term care settings\, often promoted as tools to enhance efficiency\, safety\, and individual autonomy. Yet AI models \;are developed and deployed within social and institutional contexts shaped by gendered norms\, unequal distributions of care work\, and entrenched power asymmetries. This presentation argues that ethical analyses centered on individual consent and privacy are insufficient for assessing the justice implications of AI health monitoring. Drawing on a relational conception of autonomy\, it examines how gendered expectations regarding caregiving\, responsibility\, independence\, and risk shape both the adoption and expectations around AI health monitoring. The analysis highlights how institutional funding structures\, design assumptions\, and governance arrangements can constrain meaningful choice\, redistribute surveillance and care labor\, and differentially burden different populations while framing monitoring as empowering. The presentation concludes by advancing a justice-oriented relational framework that emphasizes interdependence\, relational accountability\, and the structural conditions necessary for autonomy in technologically mediated care.
\nShort bio: \;Anita Ho is Clinical Professor at the Centre for Applied Ethics at University of British Columbia\, Associate Professor at the UCSF Bioethics Program\, and Vice President of Ethics for CommonSpirit Health in California. \;An elected fellow of The Hastings Center\, Anita's current research focuses on ethical dimensions of utilizing AI in health care. She is particularly interested in systemic and social justice issues arising in the use of AI in health care settings.

\nTranscendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy &ndash\; 11: the «\;Problem of the Method»\; and the Specificity of the Transcendental Research\, Transcendentalism and Epistemology Cognitive Science\, and Artificial Intelligence
\nDear Colleagues\,
\nFrom April 23 to April 25\, 2026\, the XI Moscow international conference (workshop) «\;Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy &ndash\; 11: the "Problem of Method" and the Specificity of the Transcendental Research (Philosophy)\, Transcendentalism and Epistemology Cognitive Science\, Artificial Intelligence»\; will be held.
\n\;Faculty of Philosophy of the SAUH\, Faculty of Philosophy of the RSUH\, Faculty of philosophy of the RUDN university\, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University\, SCMAI RAS and Foundation for the Humanities invite you to participate in the XI Moscow&rsquo\;s International Transcendental Workshop.
\n\;The workshop&ndash\;2026 continues the series of thematic workshops &ldquo\;Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy&rdquo\; which were held in April 2016 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=29024766)\, April 2017 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=30560011)\, April 2018 (abstracts: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=35240888)\, April 2019 (abstracts: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=39452678\, proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=41494716)\, April/October 2020 (abstracts: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp? id=44404439)\, April 2021 (abstracts: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=47196636\; proceedings: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=48458596)\; April 2022 (abstracts: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=49505613\; proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/93905826/)\; April 2023 (abstracts: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=65509620\; proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/110312071/)\; April 2024 (proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/117335170/)\; April 2025 (proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/128980080/)
\nProblematics / scope of the conference. In his definition of transcendental philosophy Kant postulates a shift (turn) from studying of objects to studying of [aprioristic] mode of cognition [CPR\, B25]. On the one hand\, such transcendental turn defines &ldquo\;the altered method of our thinking&rdquo\; [CPR\, BVXIII] and leads to the &ldquo\;Copernican revolution&rdquo\; in metaphysics\; on the other hand\, the transcendental shift to studying of &ldquo\;mode of our cognition&rdquo\; predetermines the influence of a transcendentalism on contemporary development of epistemology\, cognitive sciences and artificial intelligence.
\nThe goal of the workshops is to discuss the transcendental turn in modern philosophy and its development in three main transcendental traditions: Kantian Transcendentalism\, neo-Kantianism\, Phenomenology.
\nTime: April 23 &ndash\; 25\, 2026
\n\;
\nVenue: Russian Federation\, Moscow: SAUH\, RSUH\, RUDN\, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University

I Congresso de Filosofia do Comportamento Econô\;mico
\nO I Congresso de Filosofia do Comportamento Econô\;mico surge como um fó\;rum para unir docentes\, discentes e profissionais de filosofia\, economia\, psicologia\, teologia\, polí\;tica\, direito e á\;reas afins. Em um mundo marcado pelo surgimento de tecnologias disruptivas\, por crises financeiras\, pelo aprofundamento das desigualdades e por desafios climá\;ticos e ambientais\, urge examinar tanto os pressupostos que orientam nossas decisõ\;es econô\;micas quanto os impactos da atividade econô\;mica na vida coletiva\, considerando sua relaç\;ã\;o com valores\, convicç\;õ\;es\, emoç\;õ\;es\, racionalidade\, espiritualidade e justiç\;a social. \; O objetivo é\; criar um espaç\;o fé\;rtil para o debate acerca da economia entendida como uma atividade humana impregnada de valores\, convicç\;õ\;es\, emoç\;õ\;es\, racionalidades\, com um poder transformador decisivo sobre a vida coletiva e o planeta.

\nAll welcome!
\nABSTRACT:
\nIn this paper\, I argue that Free Will Skepticism (FWS) plays a substantive role in debates about the justification of punishment. While it is widely accepted that FWS undermines action-based desert\, recent work by free-will skeptics has attempted to develop non-retributivist theories of punishment grounded in revisionist accounts of moral responsibility. These accounts reject the claim that offenders are truly deserving of punishment\, since their actions ultimately result from factors beyond their control. However\, such views face a persistent challenge: accommodating the &ldquo\;Innocence Intuition\,&rdquo\; according to which\, ceteris paribus\, punishing a guilty person is morally preferable to punishing an innocent person\, even when the consequences are identical.
\nFree-will skeptics\, therefore\, confront a dilemma: either reject this intuition or vindicate it without appealing to desert. Most have pursued the latter strategy\, but with limited success. At the same time\, independent arguments against actionbased desert\, such as burden-of-proof considerations and concerns about the state&rsquo\;s standing to blame\, have generated non-retributive theories that sometimes appear better equipped to account for the Innocence Intuition. This might suggest that FWS adds little to the punishment debate beyond reinforcing already available anti-retributivist arguments.
\nI resist this conclusion by distinguishing between a Strong and a Weak version of the Innocence Intuition. The Strong Innocence Intuition combines (i) an axiological claim that punishing the guilty is better than punishing the innocent\, and (ii) a deontological claim that we have a stronger duty to punish the guilty rather than the innocent. The Weak Innocence Intuition affirms only the deontological claim. I argue that FWS is incompatible with the Strong Innocence Intuition but consistent with the Weak version. Crucially\, non-retributive theories can accommodate the Weak Intuition without appealing to desert. The upshot is that FWS does make a distinctive contribution to the debate: it pressures us to abandon the axiological component of the Innocence Intuition. Far from being a liability\, I argue that rejecting the Strong Innocence Intuition ultimately strengthens non-retributive theories of punishment.

\n\nThe distinction between &ldquo\;being on the internet&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;being in the real world&rdquo\; is eroding. People can increasingly be said to &ldquo\;live on their phones&rdquo\; or other devices. This workshop aims to interrogate the meaning and structure of the world and the self as mediated by such devices.
\n\nThis year\, we are especially interested in papers concerned the problem of embodiment in digital worlds and digital art practices\, with a particular focus on how philosophy can engage with and draw lessons from contemporary artistic practices. By thematizing the workshop around embodiment\, the aim is twofold: to advance a burgeoning\, interdisciplinary discussion about the challenges and innovative possibilities of 're-locating' human embodied experience and practice within the digital domain\, and to arrive at a robust\, systematic understanding of just what such a relocation supposes and entails - is there indeed anything such as 'digital embodiment' at all?
\n\n\nThe purpose of this workshop is to collaboratively develop works-in-progress with an eye toward publication. This is a pre-read workshop with each paper having a designated commenter to lead the conversation\, rather than formal conference presentations

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.

\nKeynote Presenters: \;
\nAndrew Goffey (University of Nottingham)
\nBrigitte Hart (Sound artist\, Shortwave Collective)
\nWhen crisis becomes a permanent state rather than an exceptional rupture\, fragility assumes the form of an existential condition visible across social\, ecological\, and political domains. Under such circumstances\, the production of knowledge increasingly shifts toward anticipatory regimes&mdash\;risk modelling\, foresight studies\, and adaptive infrastructures designed to navigate instability. Contemporary problems appear as hybrid entities: complex issues that exceed the grasp of any single discipline and demand collaborative investigation capable of rendering them perceptible and registering fragile relations that cannot be stabilised or fixed.
\nIn this context\, the problem of disciplinarity&mdash\;of relations between disciplines and collaboration across them&mdash\;acquires renewed urgency. Contemporary ecological frameworks in the humanities further intensify this concern by grounding the crossing of boundaries in an existential condition. This expansion of the problematic invites a reconsideration of an older question: what do the prefixes inter-\, trans-\, non-\, or post- differentially signify when applied to disciplinarity? Which form of disciplinarity adequately captures our present condition?
\nWhile the laboratory has served as a central model&mdash\;a metonym for interdisciplinary collaboration\, anchoring the emergent mode of scientific praxis called &ldquo\;research&rdquo\;&mdash\;today research also unfolds across privately funded para-institutions\, hybrid platforms\, and transient project-based networks. However\, collaborations between artists and social theorists with natural scientists remain structurally asymmetrical: artistic practice is often reduced to the visualization of scientific data\, while social theory has long remained under pressure to imitate the methods of the hard sciences. In this context\, the symposium seeks to examine the tangible forms of contemporary cross-disciplinary collaboration and the conceptual frameworks that sustain them.
\nThe symposium approaches this question under the long shadow of post-1968 French philosophy\, whose insistence on the inherent intertwinement of politics and aesthetics continues to shape contemporary thought. As a guiding reference\, we take the framework developed by Bruno Latour\, approached here through the twin themes of \;fragility and the aesthetics of sensitivity. Latour may be seen as the synthetic inheritor of this philosophical trajectory\, insofar as his anthropology of laboratory science leads to a non-disciplinary\, transversal form of social ontology that immanently connects science\, aesthetics\, and politics. His model advances a form of collective pragmatism oriented toward the proposal of new entities for social existence&mdash\;entities defined relationally as fragile networks of attachments. Scientific instruments function as sensitive devices that inscribe and thereby render these entities visible\, thereby making them open to collective concern.
\nThe symposium is thus both a call for dialogue and an invitation to rethink disciplinarity under the increasingly urgent\, deteriorating\, and transitional conditions of the present. We are interested in contemporary artistic and theoretical practices\, particularly those that combine the two and critically reflect on their disciplinary\, institutional\, and methodological conditions. If\, as Fé\;lix Guattari reminds us\, &ldquo\;there is no general pedagogy relative to the constitution of a living transdisciplinarity\,&rdquo\; then where and how might such a transdisciplinarity be practiced today? \;

UID:20260421T194437Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-g4ggw TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:Sometime in 2017\, Google researchers developed and demonstrated the 'transformer' architecture\, a fundamentally new way to overcome the human--computer representation problem. Fast forward to 2026 and we see the rapid integration of AI systems through all aspects of modern economic life. I will argue that more than the typical economic lens of general purpose technology\, we should also conceptualise AI systems as a new kind of institutional infrastructure -- a mediating layer that shapes who can participate in the economy\, and on what terms. There is huge potential here for new kinds of economic inclusion\, but also great risks around \;bias\, dependency\, surveillance\, and power concentration. My aim is not to bring answers but prompt a discussion about governance\, autonomy\, and human flourishing in this new Age of AI.

\n"Mind Blanking as Mental Imagery"
April 27: 11am (Buenos Aires)\; 10am (New York)\; 4pm (Berlin)
Abstract: Mind blanking is often described as a mental state characterized as if there is &ldquo\;nothing in mind.&rdquo\; This label does not pin down exactly its nature. While in some cases there may be a genuine absence of conscious content\, in this talk\, I will argue that\, at least in some instances\, a content may be experienced\, while remaining too indeterminate or too weakly structured to support conceptual or linguistic uptake. This paper focuses on the second kind of cases. I contend that some forms of mind blanking may be usefully modelled through the framework of mental imagery. Drawing on work on perceptual absence\, uniform experience\, and white dreams\, I suggest that an episode can feel empty\, or be reported as empty\, even when experience has not disappeared altogether. This approach helps explain the poor reportability of mind blanking\, its possible heterogeneity\, and its difference from both mind wandering and full interruptions of consciousness.

\nFloris Verhaart - Johanna Dorothea Lindenaer: Memoirist\, Translator\, and Religious Polemicist
\nAfter being accused of treason and conspiracy\, a young widow was imprisoned by the Dutch army in Maastricht. With the help of an army officer and two of his soldiers\, she managed to escape and fled to Paris in 1704\, where she converted to Catholicism and became a writer and translator. The name of this widow was Johanna Dorothea Lindenaer (nom de plume: Mme Zoutelande). Among her original publications are a notoriously unreliable memoir (1710) and a renunciation of her former Protestant beliefs\, La Babylone dé\;masqué\;e (1727). \; Her translations &ndash\; translated from Dutch into French &ndash\; include a selection of letters written by Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-78) on the relationship between medicine and divine providence (Lettres de la trè\;s fameuse demoiselle Anne-Marie Schurmans\, 1730) and a treatise on political theory with a distinctly republican flavour by Pieter de la Court (1618-85)\, the Memoires de Jean de Wit\, grand pensionnaire de Hollande (1709). \;
\nAlthough this written output may seem like a mishmash of topics\, I will demonstrate how Lindenaer&rsquo\;s writings and translations across a range of genres and themes convey a coherent religious agenda aimed at defending Catholicism from Protestant polemicists and at commenting on contemporary tensions between Jansenists and their opponents within the Catholic church. Both in her translations and in her original writings\, Lindenaer makes clever use of the arguments and formulations of others to get her own points of view across to the reader. This helps her retain the intellectual modesty expected of women in the early modern period. After all\, she could claim she merely reported and conveyed other people&rsquo\;s ideas. I will therefore argue that Lindenaer was not just a religious author and translator who happened to be a woman\; her gender is key to understanding her writings from a religious perspective. \;
\nAbout the Speaker: Floris Verhaart is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Exeter. He is affiliated with the ERC/UKRI project Cultures of Philosophy: Women Writing Knowledge in Early Modern Europe and has published on a wide range of aspects of early modern religious and intellectual culture\, such as ideas on religion and violence\, sexuality and gender\, university culture\, and the impact of the classical tradition. He is the author and (co)editor of five books\, including Protestant Politics Beyond Calvin: Reformed Theologians on War in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (Routledge\, 2022\, co-edited with Ian Campbell) and Classical Learning in Britain\, France\, and the Dutch Republic\, 1690-1750: Beyond the Ancients and the Moderns (OUP\, 2020). \;
\nMargaret Matthews - Rhetoric\, Method\, and Genre in Gabrielle Suchon&rsquo\;s Treatise on Ethics and Politics
\nIn this talk\, I discuss the genre\, methodology\, and mode of communication used by early modern philosopher Gabrielle Suchon in her Treatise on Ethics and Politics (1693)\, and describe its relation to her feminism. I examine how Suchon adapts aspects of the theological genre and methods of Scholasticism\, redirecting them toward new ends\, namely\, an extended argument for the moral\, intellectual\, and spiritual equality of men and women. I show further how Suchon&rsquo\;s appropriation of Scholasticism renders her feminist project distinctive within her seventeenth-century context\, contrasting it with that of feminist writers in the querelle des femmes tradition (e.g.\, Marie de Gournay and Marguerite Buffet) and Cartesian feminists (e.g.\, Franç\;ois Poulain de la Barre and Mary Astell). When considering the rhetorical features of Suchon&rsquo\;s work\, scholars have often emphasized her efforts to communicate with a female audience and to cultivate generosity and solidarity in her female readers. Much less scholarly attention has been given to Suchon&rsquo\;s mode of communication with male audiences and her use of traditionally male-dominated genres\, such as Scholasticism\, to advance her feminist project. I show how Suchon draws on Scholastic methods and genres\, such as dialectic and the disputed question format\, as well as concepts within Thomistic natural law theory\, to reach a specific type of male reader\, namely one steeped in the Scholastic tradition. On one level\, her goal is to persuade this type of reader that concern with the elevation of women&rsquo\;s status is not only consistent with\, but also demanded by the Thomistic theoretical framework that he accepts. On another level\, by appropriating a traditionally male-dominated genre\, Suchon&rsquo\;s goal is to reclaim a position of epistemic authority that has been denied to her as a woman writer\, and to perform (through her own example) the very equality she seeks to prove.
\nAbout the Speaker: Margaret Matthews is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Assumption University. Her research specialization is in Renaissance and Early Modern philosophy with an emphasis on the intersection of epistemology and social and political philosophy. She has published on topics such as Gabrielle Suchon&rsquo\;s epistemology and Marie de Gournay&rsquo\;s skepticism\, and she is currently working on a book project on the philosophy of Gabrielle Suchon.
ORGANIZER;CN=Marguerite El Asmar Bou Aoun;CN=Jil Muller;CN=Daniel Fischer;CN=Katia Raya Rami: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260418T095450Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260428T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260609T170000 SUMMARY:Female Voices\, Media\, and Modes of Communication in Theology and Philosophy UID:20260421T194440Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-g4ggw TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION: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.

\nDieser Vortrag widmet sich dem dynamischen Erhabenen von Kant unter der Fragestellung\, was diese Erfahrung fü\;r unser Selbst- und Fremdverhä\;ltnis bedeutet. Im ersten Teil wird ein Zusammenhang zwischen Erhabenheit und Demut hergestellt. Im zweiten Teil wird die Erfahrung des dynamisch Erhabenen analysiert. Hierbei werden bereits Thesen zum Selbstverhä\;ltnis und zum Verhä\;ltnis zu anderen Menschen angesprochen. Es geht aber zunä\;chst vor allem um die leibliche Dimension und die Gefü\;hle in dieser Erfahrung. Im dritten Teil wird vor dem Hintergrund dieser Analyse gefragt\, was das fü\;r Kants Auffassung vom Selbst- und Fremdverhä\;ltnis bedeutet. \;

\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 »\;.

\nDescription
\nOne of the most promising routes to understanding the architecture of propositional thought&mdash\;and cognition more broadly&mdash\;is to begin with the mammalian navigation system and its associated neural machinery (cognitive maps\, place cells\, grid cells\, path integration\, sequence generation\, hippocampal replay\, and related control mechanisms). 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.
\nSubmissions
\nA handful of conference slots may be devoted to submitted contributions. We invite submissions of abstracts that complement the conference&rsquo\;s aim of developing accounts of propositional thought as a manifestation of navigation-like cognitive architectures. Submissions should engage with the conference theme in a substantive way (e.g.\, via computational\, neuroscientific\, psychological\, or philosophical perspectives on map-like architecture\, replay/simulation\, and language that pertain to propositional thought).
\nPlease submit an abstract of up to 1\,000 words (excluding references) as a .doc/.docx or .pdf attachment to nsqk2@umsystem.edu by April 30\, 2026. Please include the paper title\, author name(s)\, affiliation(s)\, and contact email(s). We will notify authors of decisions by the end of May. Presentations will be at most 30 minutes (including Q&\;A).
\nAuthors of accepted abstracts should be prepared to attend in person and\, in principle\, to contribute to the planned edited volume. Invitations to contribute to the volume (if any) will be made after the conference and will be subject to editorial review. Attendance is free\, and limited travel support may be available for accepted contributors.
\nFor questions\, please contact Nathaniel Stagg at the above email.

Arguments and Debates at the Intersection between Epistemic Injustice and Gender Identity

\nApplication form:
\n\nIn \;recent years\, the "Gender Wars" have dominated public debates in several Western countries. Whilst in the US the debate is largely one between progressives and conservatives\, the UK debate\, and many other European debates\, are often framed as being internal to feminism and what a feminist public policy should look like. Gender critical feminists argue that gender is an oppressive social construct\; thus\, the feminist thing to do with it is simply to destroy it (while failing to recognize trans identities). Trans-inclusive scholars contend that both gender and gender identity cannot be erased without committing very serious harms to some of the already most marginalised people. Predictably\, very different public policy agendas follow.
\nAt closer look\, however\, trans-inclusive scholars and activists agree that gender is largely a social construct. The idea that trans activists and scholars consider gender identity (whether cis or trans) as immutable and innate is largely a myth. The trans-inclusive claim is\, however\, that something can be a social construct yet be very real and serve important social purposes within a certain social context &ndash\; such that destroying the concept *whilst maintain the broader social context* would produce significant harms. Most trans-inclusive actors also agree that gender has many oppressive elements &ndash\; yet contend that\, all things considered\, trans-inclusion is the most promising way to deconstruct those elements. Gender critical feminists usually counter-argue that this stand is simply confused: if gender and gender identity are not something innate but social constructs\, then what are they if not just the oppressive creation of the patriarchy? What else can they be? Thus\, according to gender critical feminism\, either gender identity is conceived as something immutable and innate &ndash\; and that is an implausible claim\, or it is part of an oppressive ideology which should be dismantled. Everything else is mysterious.
\nThis workshop aims to bring together this debate with developments in feminist epistemology. Recently\, much has been written about how the marginalised can be wronged not just in material terms\, but also in their &ldquo\;capacity as knowers&rdquo\; (Fricker 2007). This can happen because their very plausible accounts of their lived experiences are discredited\; because mainstream language and knowledge lack the terms and concepts for their experiences\; and because\, as a result\, marginalised people have struggled to make sense of their own experiences &ndash\; both to themselves and to others. All of this is compatible with marginalised people being\, in spite of all\, very competent or even uniquely insightful knowers in certain domains (Medina 2013).
\nThe workshop asks whether this can be the case for the concepts of gender and gender identity. Could it be that\, when the opponent says that trans-inclusive accounts of gender identity are &ldquo\;confused\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;mysterious\,&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;don&rsquo\;t make sense\,&rdquo\; epistemic marginalisation is playing a role? It would not\, after all\, be the first time. A standpoint of uncertainty and puzzlement is not necessarily one of ignorance: it can indeed be the starting point of productive epistemic innovations. Indeed\, paradigmatic cases of hermeneutical injustice confirm that: the working women who struggled to make sense of their experience of unwelcome sexual flirtation in the workplace are the very same women who went on and developed a new concept for it &ndash\; workplace sexual harassment.
\nThe aim is to explore whether this can apply to trans-inclusive conceptual innovations about gender and gender identity and\, if so\, how barriers of intelligibility can be overcome. Conceptions of gender identity are undergoing revisions in feminist philosophy (e.g.\, Barnes 2022\, Cosker-Rowland 2023\, Cull 2024\, Hernandez &\; Bell 2025\, Jenkins 2023). Our aim is to further explore the connections between debates about conceptual innovations on gender and gender identity\, on the one hand\, and questions about epistemic injustice\, epistemic marginalization and conceptual interventions\, on the other hand.
\nIf you are unsure about whether your proposal might fit\, please feel free to reach out to the organisers before submitting. Abstracts should be between 500-1000 words.

It is significant that the advent of AI in forms that can be powerfully applied in ways that affect democratic practices and institutions\, whether to enhance or endanger them\, occurs just as these practices and institutions have begun to appear more fragile\, even (in some eyes) less desirable\, than they have been since the persuasiveness of democracy\, both as concept and practice\, emerged from the Enlightenment.
\n \; \; \;There are numerous considerations in play in thinking about the interaction of AI and democracy\, most of them familiar: on the one hand negatives such as misinformation\, deep fakes\, electoral interference\, on the other hand positives such as participation\, fact-checking\, accountability and transparency\, but I will focus on two considerations that lie at the base of much of these. One is the role of education in dealing with the &lsquo\;epistemic crisis&rsquo\; threatened to a key desideratum in democratic process\, viz. reliability of information. The other is the question of whether democracy itself can exert influence over AI development and use.\n \; \; These are two different challenges in that whereas the first (education and the epistemic crisis) offers a route to countering negative effects of AI on democracy\, the second &ndash\; given that the speed of AI developments is fuelled by private enterprise competition and the government support it gets because of both GDP and military effects of supremacy in the AI race &ndash\; offers grounds for great pessimism and worry. How democratic control can be exerted over technologies already capable of escaping and overthrowing democratic control is a major challenge for our time.\n \; \; \;Some of the relevant background to this discussion is to be found in AC Grayling \;For the People \;(Oneworld 2025) and in his previous books about democracy and constitutionality \;Democracy and its Crisis \;(2017) and \;The Good State \;(2020). \;\n\nJoin Zoom meeting:

\nAs Israel continues its genocide in Gaza and genocidal violence continues to be waged against the Rohingya in Myanmar\, Uyghurs in China\, the people of Sudan\, Ukraine\, Yemen and other places\, this calls for the re-examination of the basic contours of democratic theory. What are the implications for our thinking about democracy and democratic ideals when a genocide is perpetrated\, in the case of Israel\, by a regime that understands itself and is understood by many to be a democracy? What does it mean when genocidal violence is supported and facilitated in one way or another by democracies? When some genocides are sidelined\, minimized\, or denied by democratic publics or even by left movements that appeal to democratic ideals? How should this affect our analyses of democracy\, of its central commitments and tensions\, its values and authority\, its current crises and its futures? The goal of the workshop is to bring political philosophy and democratic theory into conversation with insights from genocide studies and other relevant fields.
\nGenocide has received relatively little attention from contemporary political philosophers (notable exceptions include contributions from Anne O&rsquo\;Byrne\, Mathias Thaler\, Larry May\, Claudia Card). Few contributions consider it from the perspective of democratic theory. The logic and practice of genocide is usually seen to be the antithesis of a presumed universalistic and egalitarian ethos of liberal democracy. Helpful starting points for addressing this theoretical disconnect include Mahmood Mamdani&rsquo\;s (2020) genealogy of political modernity. The political anthropologist argues that nation-states (first as settler democracies) are created from an ethnonationalist logic for which ethnic cleansing and genocide are\, if not inevitable\, always an option. This logic has led to ongoing cycles of political violence as nation-building necessarily creates permanent minorities. Genocide scholar Dirk Moses (2021) has argued that a liberal notion of permanent security\, which envisions the world to be secured from &ldquo\;enemies of humanity&rdquo\; in the name peace and self-determination\, has been used to justify civilian destruction and mass displacements. Malcom Bull (2006) has polemically argued that liberal just war theory&rsquo\;s consideration of &ldquo\;supreme emergencies&rdquo\; and humanitarian interventions in &ldquo\;outlaw states&rdquo\; have allowed for the liberal justification of mass violence against civilian populations. Sociologist Michael Mann (2004) has suggested that murderous ethnic cleanings are the &ldquo\;dark side of democracy\,&rdquo\; where the democratic ideal of rule by the people entwines the demos with the dominant ethnos. Philosopher Anne O&rsquo\;Byrne (2023) has emphasized the intricate tension between demos and genos\, the &ldquo\;empty form of democratic citizenship&rdquo\; and the need for a people&rsquo\;s reproduction over time and the creation of boundaries of belonging (which are attacked by genocidal violence). \;
\nFellow philosopher Melanie Altanian (2024) has observed that long-term genocide denialism serves to &ldquo\;consolidate relations of domination through epistemic means&rdquo\;\, with serious implications for the presumably egalitarian ethos of democracies. Indeed\, theorist of psychoanalysis Sarah El Bulbeisi (2026) argues that the suppression of the Palestinian experience of violence serves a social function\, especially in post-Holocaust Germany\, where it enables the construction of &ldquo\;a national narrative of atonement and moral righteousness&rdquo\; despite the country&rsquo\;s historical and continuous entanglements in racializing and colonial violence. Meanwhile\, these and other legacies of erasure and genocide denial have also significantly shaped scholarly debates. In response\, environmental humanities scholar and theorist of ecocide Darya Tsymbalyuk (2022) has highlighted that academia ought to re-center embodied and uncomfortable knowledges\, as its ongoing normalized detachment from the &ldquo\;wreck of reality&rdquo\; and lived experience reinforces hierarchies of knowledge&mdash\;and thereby arguably undermines the egalitarian character of democratic deliberation. Concerningly\, decolonial scholar Madina Tlostanova (2025) has observed that too often\, these hierarchies of knowledge reinforce the hierarchies of suffering\, fueling a binary either-or logic dividing the world into us and them\, which effectively enables various forms of exceptionalism that fuel genocides\, and in turn\, fail to uphold humanity and protection of life for all. \;
\nAgainst the backdrop of these persistent issues\, workshop contributions will confront genocidal aspects and tendencies of (or at least seeds in) central concepts of democratic theory and political philosophy\, such as peoplehood\, popular sovereignty\, majority rule\, national self-determination\, citizenship\, security\, and self-defense. How do seemingly emancipatory democratic ideals and rhetorics become intertwined with the large‑scale destruction of civilian life and social worlds? What does it mean when democratic publics authorize\, support\, tolerate\, or deny such genocidal violence? What are blind spots of global left\, decolonial and anticapitalist movements in recognizing and supporting victims of genocidal violence? How do colonial and imperial legacies shape who is removable\, killable\, and grievable? How does the so-called boundary problem of democratic theory relate to genocidal forms of boundary-drawing? How do anti-imperialist national movements avoid the pitfalls of postcolonial nationalism\, and simultaneously\, how can we better distinguish between the forms of ethnonationalism that drive genocides and the political forms of nationalism that resist the genocidal erasure and annihilation of a people? How do we imagine genuinely non-genocidal forms of political life (building on\, for example\, Wendy Brown&rsquo\;s notion of &ldquo\;reparative democracy&rdquo\; or Mamdani&rsquo\;s project of &ldquo\;decolonizing political community&rdquo\;)? And which approaches to knowledge making and political deliberation can best nurture such communities and support livable and equitable conditions across the world?
\nThe discussions in the workshop are meant to be exploratory and generative. The workshop is open to contributions from various disciplines and philosophical traditions\, and welcomes systematic and historical contributions and discussions of particular case studies\, specific theoretical approaches\, or individual thinkers. \;

Together with inheritances the corporate machine and its financialization seem to be mainly responsible for the growing concentration of wealth. Against this backdrop\, it is somewhat surprising that philosophical and political theoretical debates have largely focused on limiting wealth in general and on inheritance taxation\, but not so much on a regulation of profits. \;
\nOne possible explanation lies in a somewhat unquestioned acceptance of the classical liberal framing of profits. According to this framing it is reasonable to regulate profits as little as possible in order to stimulate economic activity and growth\, which will ultimately benefit society as a whole. Another argument is the fear of capital flight with the potential of serious disruption of economic functionalities and great welfare losses. \;
\nAt the same time\, the historical failure of social democratic and liberal socialist transformations in the second half of the 20thcentury seems to be connected to a lack of profit regulation. An important case in point is the failing of the implementation of the Meidner plan in Sweden due to strong unregulated profit concentration and a corresponding political power structure.
\nWe aim to promote interdisciplinary dialogue across political philosophy\, political theory\, and critical social theory. \;
\nPossible themes include (but are not limited to): \;

Dimensions to this backlash include the electoral &ndash\; i.e.\, the rise of far-right political parties\; the legal &ndash\; legislation\, executive orders and judicial decisions e.g. overturning rights to abortion and gender-affirming healthcare\, banning affirmative action and DEI initiatives\, and excluding trans people from participation in sport\; and the necropolitical &ndash\; e.g. the misogynistic murder of René\;e Good and the rising tide of anti-trans violence. A further important dimension to this backlash is the epistemic &ndash\; e.g. the widespread repudiation of the testimonies of Christine Blasey Ford and Amber Heard\, the ridiculing of slogans such as &lsquo\;defund the police&rsquo\;\, and the growing dissemination of myths and disinformation concerning trans people. This dimension to the backlash has recently begun to receive philosophical attention\, with aspects of it being theorized variously as 'hermeneutical backlash' (George &\; Goguen 2021)\, 'hermeneutical sabotage' (Edgoose 2024)\, and 'hermeneutical disarmament' (Morgan 2025) &ndash\; all phenomena thought either to constitute or to result in epistemic injustices. It has also been argued that previously proposed strategies for preventing epistemic injustices are frequently ineffective when confronted by backlash\, prompting a search for other strategies which might be pursued more effectively towards this end (Clanchy forthcoming). Much work on epistemic injustice and backlash remains to be done\, however &ndash\; especially in light of the epistemic injustice literature&rsquo\;s &lsquo\;methodological commitment to the primacy of the nonideal&rsquo\; (Medina 2013: 11). The aim of this workshop is to provide a space for the development of such work.
We invite submissions of abstracts of up to 500 words to a MANCEPT workshop on this topic. Abstracts should be submitted by \;May 1st \;and should be sent to \;han.edgoose@glasgow.ac.uk
Questions that papers may address include\, but are not limited to:
&bull\;How is the epistemic dimension related to other dimensions of backlash?
&bull\;To what kinds of epistemic injustice does backlash give rise? What strategies can be most effectively pursued to prevent epistemic injustices in times of backlash? What kinds of epistemic agency can be exercised by members of targeted groups (Pohlhaus 2020)?
&bull\;Does 'epistemic injustice' (Fricker 2007) in fact provide an adequate framework for thinking about these issues? What about these issues might this framework miss or distort but the frameworks provided by e.g. 'epistemic oppression' (Dotson 2014) or 'epistemologies of ignorance' (Mills 2007) capture?
&bull\;How should previous work on epistemic injustice and e.g. the #MeToo movement (e.g. Jackson 2018) or the Black Lives Matter movement (e.g. Anderson 2017) be developed or rethought in light of the current backlash?
&bull\;What practical lessons can be drawn for the present moment from a study of the epistemic dimension of previous backlashes (e.g. Faludi 1991)?
&bull\;Who bears responsibility\, in both backward- and forward-looking senses (Young 2011)\, for the epistemic dimension of backlash?
&bull\;How can thinking about epistemic injustice and backlash inform methodological debates concerning the relative merits of ideal and nonideal theory? \; The panel will take place in-person at the University of Manchester\, between September 2nd \;and September 4th \;2026.

Political philosophy has long privileged public speech and institutional political discourse as central sites of analysis. Increasingly\, however\, attention has shifted toward the normative dimensions of ordinary language use and the dynamics of linguistic change in non-ideal social contexts.
Language is a social practice through which shared forms of understanding\, coordination\, and mutual orientation are sustained over time. Shifts in linguistic conventions can reshape how individuals relate to one another\, influence how social differences are marked or obscured\, and affect patterns of inclusion within pluralistic and diverse societies. The ways in which linguistic expressions are used\, repeated\, and taken up also structure expectations about what can be said and contribute to the reinforcement or attenuation of prejudices and stereotypes. In this sense\, language plays a constitutive role in shaping the normative environment in which social and political life unfolds.
This constitutive role gives rise to a range of philosophical questions concerning the emergence\, stability\, and contestation of norms governing language use. It invites reflection on how such norms are maintained over time and on the extent to which participants in shared linguistic practices are answerable to one another for their contributions to evolving communicative environments.
This panel seeks to bring together normative and descriptive perspectives on how patterns of language use emerge\, stabilize\, and transform across different settings. It therefore welcomes contributions that offer conceptual\, normative\, or empirically informed philosophical analyses of language as a social practice. These include\, but are not limited to\, the following areas:
&bull\; language in social construction
&bull\; the relationship between language use and social coordination
&bull\; feminist philosophy of language
&bull\; communicative responsibilities
&bull\; normative views on stereotyping and discrimination in communication
&bull\; social/political speech and social norm change
&bull\; linguistic injustice
&bull\; the distribution and justification of normative expectations across different speakers and contexts
&bull\; methodological issues in language and analytic ideology critique
&bull\; counterspeech

Papers on any aspect of Leibniz&rsquo\;s philosophy will be considered and should have a reading time of approximately 45 minutes. Commentators will be paired with accepted submissions.
\n\nProposals that explore connections between Leibniz&rsquo\;s thought and other non-canonical early modern philosophers\, especially women\, are particularly welcome. Papers on figures within the loosely Leibnizian orbit\, including (but not limited to) Masham\, Conway\, Wolff\, Du Châ\;telet\, etc.\, will also be considered.
\n\nSubmissions from graduate students and early career scholars will be given special consideration. Along these lines\, the LSNA may be able to offer some travel funding to accepted submissions from graduate students and early career scholars\, who do not have sufficient funding from their home institutions\, in order to offset the costs of attending the meeting.
\n\nSubmissions should take the form of abstracts of approx. 500 words in length\, prepared for anonymous review. They should be submitted\, as attachments to emails in PDF format\, to Adam Harmer (adam.harmer@ucr.edu). The deadline for the receipt of submissions is May 1\, 2025. Authors will be notified by July 1 of the program committee&rsquo\;s decision. Selected authors will be expected to send complete drafts of their presentations to their commentators by September 23\, 2025.
