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.

Join us for a weekly close reading of Gramsci&rsquo\;s Prison Notebooks! The group has a twofold goal: first\, to analyze contemporary political events through the categories formulated in the text\; and second\, to critically examine potential blind spots in Gramsci&rsquo\;s work regarding race\, gender\, and empire\, while keeping in mind the historical context in which he wrote.
TIME
THURSDAYS: weekly\, beginning September 24\, 2026.
5-6 PM Eastern US Time.

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

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

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

\nOctober 15-19\; Crans-Montana\, Switzerland \; \; \;
\nOver the past decade\, it has become clear that a significant number of behaviourally unresponsive patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) are covertly conscious\, as shown by complex and/or voluntary cortical response patterns. The realisation that behaviourally unresponsive patients are not necessarily unconscious changes the way brain-injured and critically ill patients must be assessed and treated\, and how families are counselled. \;This Challenge Workshop will focus on the latest advances in detecting and managing covert consciousness in both ICU and sub-acute settings\, supporting functional recovery through pharmacological or neurotechnological interventions\, restoring communication via brain-machine interfaces\, and navigating philosophical and ethical implications. \;
\nOpen to clinicians\, researchers\, patient advocates\, ethicists\, philosophers\, and technologists. \; Participation is limited to 20 individuals\, selected on the basis of merit and relevance to the workshop. \; \;
\nApplications are reviewed on a rolling basis until all 20 available spots are filled. \; \;

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

\nComputations are abstract operations defined formally and independently from the physical media\, which can implement them. This suggests that\, if the brain is a computing system\, then the computations it performs must be medium-independent operations. But whether the brain is a computing system and whether its computations are medium-independent are contentious issues. Here\, I address these issues by focusing on neurotransmitters\, whose activities have limited medium-independence\, and whose functional roles in neural computing remain underexplored in the philosophy of the mind sciences. After distinguishing three functional roles of neurotransmitters in neural computation\, I argue that some neural computations are not medium-independent\, because neurotransmitters play a constitutive role in defining them.

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.

\nTitle: \; \;The Secret Lives of Mass Gap Black Holes
\nAbstract:
\nRecent LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observations indicate black holes in the &ldquo\;mass gap&rdquo\; where pair-instability supernovae prevent black hole formation. One leading explanation is hierarchical mergers: merging black holes that are themselves products of prior mergers. I examine the evidence for this proposal and draw two methodological lessons. First\, the high spins of mass-gap black holes serve as a &ldquo\;smoking gun&rdquo\; signature of merger origin. Second\, such inferences rely on narrative models which scaffold epistemic iteration as new information is incorporated. This supports an optimistic view of astrophysical methodology and its capacity to uncover even the darkest objects&rsquo\; histories.

\nTheoretical arguments have suggested that the number of false claims in the scientific literature may be much higher than desired\, and reports across fields have shown that many findings researchers believed were firmly established failed to replicate. These erroneous claims raise important issues. From an empirical practitioner's perspective\, errors mislead and slow down research projects. From a philosophical perspective\, scientific error raises questions about the right forms of scientific inference\, scientific progress\, and the reliability of science as a source of knowledge. From the perspective of the general public\, it undermines the epistemic authority of science and the degree to which policy-makers trust scientific experts.
\nFollowing the success of the previous eight editions\, PSE9 brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to share their views on how scientific errors can be detected and corrected\, how they influence knowledge generation\, and how they shape the perception of science as a whole.

CALL FOR PAPERS JIS SYMPOSIUM 2026 THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY: RENEWING ORDERED LIBERTY PASADENA\, CALIFORNIA\, USA\, 17 October 2026 (Online: Zoom) HOSTED BY OMEGA GRADUATE SCHOOL Suggested Themes: By its 250th anniversary\, American democracy is at a crossroads. 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." JIS Symposium 2026: The Future of Democracy: Renewing Ordered Liberty (Online via Zoom) is co-sponsored by IIR-ICSA-JIS. All conference participants must pre-register.

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

\nCentral European University\, Vienna\, November 26-27\, 2026
\n\;
\nFew would deny that legitimacy and legitimate rule are among key theoretical challenges of contemporary societies. Yet\, across the vastly different approaches to these concepts (descriptive\, realist\, epistemic\, Weberian\, legal-theoretic\, democratic\, Rawlsian\, public-reason\, and others)\, it remains an open question to what extent these traditions ask the same questions or address the same underlying concerns.
\nThe aim of the workshop is to bring different approaches to political legitimacy into conversation and to explore where they intersect. By bringing perspectives that are not always in direct dialogue into the same room\, the workshop seeks to identify points of convergence\, shared problems\, productive disagreements\, and possibilities for conceptual exchange.
\n\nWe therefore invite contributions that explore topics related to political legitimacy\, legitimate rule\, authority\, or democracy\, regardless of theoretical tradition or perspective.
\nIf interested\, please send abstracts of around 300 words to cibikm@ceu.edu. The deadline for submissions is October 20\, 2026. The decision to accept the applications will be made and communicated no later than October 25th\, 2026.

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

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

\nThis conference proposes &ldquo\;experimenting philosophy of religion&rdquo\; as field\, method and a performative mode of exchange: a practice of inquiry that acknowledges precarity and embraces provisional possibilities of thinking. We treat &ldquo\;experiment&rdquo\; in its full sense: trial\, risk\, and iterative testing\, where concepts are articulated\, confronted\, and\, when necessary\, allowed to fail.
\nExperimentation is not external to philosophy of religion but constitutive of it\, insofar as the field opens possibilities for creating what is other &ndash\; new conceptual and practical configurations &ndash\; while attending to how these emerge within existing disciplines. \;
\nWe convene multiperspective approaches to pressing questions in politics\, ecology\, and aesthetics: What perspectives does the philosophy of religion offer on the climate crisis? How can these insights inform political and social practice? How do aesthetic experiences and approaches reflect philosophical-religious research\, and vice versa? \;
\nWe want to provide a room for young voices in order to express their research and test the capacities\, practical and theoretical\, of philosophy of religion.
\nThe conference will have a three parts format\, divided in three days (planned days are 21&ndash\;23 October 2026). The section are the followings:
\n1. \; \; \; \; \;Podium discussion with Vienna‑based senior scholars on the field&rsquo\;s trajectories and futures\;
\n2. \; \;Three thematic panels (organized by VDTR members): Politics &\; Society\; Ecology &\; Nature\; Arts &\; Aesthetics. Contributions by postdocs and PhD candidates\; strong peer‑to‑peer format\;
\n\n3. \; \;Active\, non‑conventional session (e.g.\, reading and discussion group\, collective writing\, method try‑outs) that goes beyond lecture/listen formats.

The moral issues raised by these changes are not new\, however\, and we would benefit from revisiting the long history of thinking about ideals of work and its place in the good life. This conference turns to the history of philosophy and political economy for utopian and radical perspectives on work. We will explore how philosophers and political economists from Plato to Gandhi saw the rational or democratic organization of firms\, unions\, and labor markets as means of advancing justice\, freedom\, and virtue at work. In particular\, we are interested in insights from these figures that might help to address today&rsquo\;s injustices surrounding work. The conference will conclude with a panel on the overall relevance of returning to utopian and revolutionary thinkers from our past. What (if anything) can we learn from them for the 21st century? \;

\n* Inaugural two-day philosophy of AI and technology conference in Ingolstadt\, Germany. \;
\n* Call for Abstracts \;
\n* Essay Prize
\nOverview of FrankenstAIn Conference:
\nIn Mary Shelley&rsquo\;s Frankenstein novel\, the protagonist\, Victor Frankenstein\, creates an artificial agent that ends up escaping the control of its creator. The analogy with AI is clear. And the novel can therefore be read as a cautionary tale about the rapid and unpredictable consequences of creating agents that we do not properly understand and that do not align with our values. \;
\nThe novel thus raises a host of questions that are today relevant for the philosophy and ethics of artificial intelligence\, as well as the responsible use of technology more generally. Shelley sets her novel in Ingolstadt. And Victor Frankenstein would have studied at buildings recently renovated and now used by KU Eichstä\;tt-Ingolstadt. These include the 15th-century Hohe Schule (High School) and the 18th-century Old Anatomy building in which the conference will take place. The aim of the conference is to bring together academics from various disciplines working in the philosophy of AI and technology. The event is set against the backdrop of Shelley&rsquo\;s novel. And participants will have the opportunity to participate in a &lsquo\;city walk&rsquo\; and a visit to the Medical History Museum where they will learn more about the historical and technological context in which the novel is set. The conference marks the first in an annual conference-series on the topic. \;
\nCall for Abstracts (250-500 words):
\nWe welcome submissions on the philosophy of AI and the responsible development\, deployment\, and use of technologies. The idea is to use Shelley&rsquo\;s novel as a source of inspiration to explore new and important areas of AI research\, or to offer different perspectives on current ones. Talks need not explicitly engage with the novel (though this is of course very welcome) as long as they tackle themes\, questions\, and formats that are to some extent relevant to the novel. \;
\nIn addition\, we welcome submissions that contextualise these debates within a broader cultural and historical framework\, as well as work on topics in the philosophy of fiction/film/sci-fi and philosophical aesthetics. We hope that the conference will allow for an historically-informed philosophical exploration of the future of AI through the images and ideas that determine our relationship to the things we create &ndash\; especially when they develop a dynamic of their own and seem to escape our control.
\nWe are open to submissions from a range of different disciplines and perspectives. The only necessary criterion being that papers must be philosophically informed. Potential areas of interest include\, but are not limited to: \;
\nWhat does it mean to create things or beings whose capabilities and effects are fundamentally unpredictable?
\nWhat do we owe &ndash\; if anything &ndash\; to the artificial agents that we create? \;
\nHow can ethical responsibility be conceived under conditions of radical uncertainty?
\nTo what extent is AI a modern &lsquo\;creature&rsquo\; in Shelley's sense?
\nWhat continuities exist between myth (Prometheus)\, literature (Shelley)\, and modern technological development? \;
\nHow can literature/sci-fi/film (etc.) help with the investigation of AI and the philosophy of technology?
\nWhich metaphors and narratives promote understanding of current developments in the field of AI\, and which are misleading?
\nWhat new insights &ndash\; if any &ndash\; does Frankenstein bring to the &lsquo\;value alignment problem&rsquo\;?
\nHow should we define sentience\, awareness\, and similar in artificial intelligence\, or should we not define them in such systems at all?
\nWhat is technological progress?

Svobody 331/2\, Hradec Králové\, Czech Republic DESCRIPTION:The conference is on the nature of rationality and its relation to normativity\, especially on how rationality and reasons generate norms for what to believe\, trust or doubt. Rationality provides norms governing our thinking\, not only in general (do not form incoherent beliefs)\, but also in specific cases (do not trust that obvious conman). Which reasons the agent does or does not possess\, and their quality\, is also important. This conference aims at bringing together experts on these topics and shed light on these phenomena.
\nGetting a clear picture of what rationality and reasons are and what norms they place on our thinking can aid with applied philosophical issues as well. For example\, is conspiracy thinking\, distrust towards scientific experts or falling for fake news irrational? If so\, which rational norms are violated exactly\, and under which circumstances? What does the rational standing of people who engage in these potentially irrational processes teach us about why they engage in them\, and what if anything we should do to combat these phenomena?

\nThe aim of this workshop is therefore to reflect how central concepts in theories of AI ethics can be meaningfully applied to children and adolescents and where these need to be adapted accordingly. This includes\, among others\, the concepts of trust and trustworthiness\, (informed) consent\, privacy\, explainability\, dignity\, well-being as well as bias and justice. All of these are discussed broadly and sometimes controversially in AI ethics literature\, but in most cases cannot simply be applied to children and adolescents.
\nFor example\, on the one hand children and adolescents are particularly dependent on trusting relationships\, but on the other hand cannot yet adequately assess whom or what they should trust and why. This means that trust must also be understood as a developmental task for them and they must be particularly protected from exploitation of their trust. Likewise\, informed consent (for instance in the context of using AI in apps) and explainability are connected with special ethical requirements for them\, which neither limits children and adolescents into the roles of passive objects nor views them as fully autonomous subjects\, but rather analyzes what form of explainability would be appropriate for them.
\nThis workshop aims to explore AI ethics\, its core concepts and theories\, and their application to children and adolescents in order to account for their specific needs\, abilities\, interests\, vulnerabilities\, as well as their social relations and environments. We particularly welcome proposals that critically reflect on childhood and adolescence\, are attentive to diversity dimensions (e.g.\, gender\, race\, age\, disability\, socio-economic status)\, and take intersectional perspectives seriously.
\nSubmissions &\; Publication
\nSubmissions may approach these topics through conceptual analysis\, case studies\, or ethical reflections based on empirical findings. We invite to send us abstracts of 500 words (in Word format) and a brief CV. Please send your abstract before April 15\, 2026 to the organizers at the following address: gottfried.schweiger@plus.ac.at
\nDraft papers will be circulated among all participants two weeks prior to the workshop. Presenters are expected to attend in person for the entire duration. Papers from this workshop will be submitted for a Special Issue in AI and Ethics. More info on this topical collection here: \; https://link.springer.com/collections/jhfhiiheaj \;

\nWriting in the aftermath of the Second World War\, Simone de Beauvoir&rsquo\;s existential ethics centred around the ambiguity of the human condition. Her work critiques traditional ethical frameworks subsuming plurality and ambiguity under the generalisations of normative concepts and practices. Ethics\, she argues\, should enable individuals to assume this ambiguity and plurality\, mindful of the diversity of our human condition. \;Ethics of Ambiguity\, \;notably\, strives to demonstrate how existentialism can be and indeed is inherently moral or social. Beauvoir appeals to us to recognise our freedom and responsibility\, yet at the same time highlights the limits of this freedom in situations of oppression\, and that this freedom is the most precarious in times of &lsquo\;uncertainty&rsquo\;&mdash\;where &lsquo\;crushed by present events\, [one] loses one&rsquo\;s way before the darkness of a future haunted by frightening spectres: war\, illness\, revolution\, fascism.&rsquo\;
\nBeauvoir&rsquo\;s existential ethics sought to respond to the challenges addressed to existentialism\, accused of miserabilism and solipsism. This conference seeks develop on Beauvoir&rsquo\;s works and legacy and those of her contemporaries\, and to explore the resources available within existential philosophy for rethinking the role of identity and community in times of uncertainty and crisis. Does the focus that existential philosophy places on the singular individual impede the construction of community? Does existentialism provide tools for articulating situations of oppression\, and navigating hostile environments? Does it provide guidance for concrete forms of action and activism\, and paths for navigating the uncertainty in the contemporary world?

\nInternational Workshop | 22 October 2026\, Chair of Philosophy\, University of St. Gallen
\nCounterrevolution and
\nDemocratic Transformation
\nWith Prof. Bernard Harcourt (Columbia University / EHESS)
\nOver the past two decades\, the world has witnessed increasing normalization of emergency measures\, restrictive border measures\, and the creation of legal and administrative apparatuses to identify\, coerce\, and eliminate internal threats. As these processes have often been driven by democratic states\, there has been intensified debates across political philosophy\, legal theory\, and critical social theory concerning how and when democratic institutions themselves can act as vehicles of authoritarian transformation. However\, disagreement remains over the mechanisms driving these processes and the conceptual vocabularies for understanding them.
\nThe workshop addresses these debates through Bernard Harcourt&rsquo\;s concept of counterrevolution. His recent analyses of counterrevolution\, counterinsurgency\, and emergency governance provide one of the most influential contemporary frameworks for understanding how coercive state rationalities migrate from exceptional contexts into ordinary democratic governance.
\nAt the centre of the workshop is an inquiry into how contemporary democratic states transform governance through legal\, political\, and security mechanisms in ways that consolidate coercive power while preserving the appearance of constitutional normality. It further asks how counterrevolutionary rationalities reshape democratic institutions through law\, administration\, and security practices\, and to what extent these transformations illuminate contemporary processes of authoritarian consolidation or fascitization.
\nThe workshop invites contributions that engage with one or more of the following questions:
\n- \; \; \; \; \; How do emergency powers and constitutional provisions become instruments of permanent governance transformation rather than temporary exception?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; By what legal and administrative mechanisms are internal enemies constructed\, classified\, and subjected to coercive state intervention?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; How do counterinsurgency rationalities migrate into the governance of domestic populations?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; To what extent is fascitization a useful analytical category for understanding contemporary authoritarian consolidation within democratic institutions\, and where does the concept reach its limits?
\nFormat
\nThe workshop takes place on 22 October 2026 at the University of St. Gallen as a one-day\, in-person event\, including a keynote presentation by Bernard Harcourt. The selected speakers will present their paper (20-30min presentation)\, followed by discussion (30 min).
\nEarly-career researchers (including advanced PhD and postdoctoral researchers) in political philosophy\, critical theory\, critical legal studies\, and related fields\, are encouraged to apply.
\nSelected papers will be considered for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Details will be communicated to participants in due course.
\nSubmission Guidelines

\nCFP:
\nIn the time when human rights are violated on a regular basis\, violence triumphs\, and feeble democracies ever more often back down before authoritarian rule\, there obviously arises the need to reflect on the possible ways of counteracting such phenomena. Our interdisciplinary conference is intended as a fitting opportunity for this reflection. We would like to look at various manifestations of dictatorship\, violence and human rights violation\, whether historical or current. We will describe them in political\, social\, psychological\, cultural and many other terms. We also want to devote considerable attention to how the situation of human rights and dictatorship is represented in artistic practices: in literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts.
\nDuring our previous conferences on human rights\, violence and dictatorship \;we hosted over 300 scholars representing universities and research institutions from all over the world.

\nIn the time when human rights are violated on a regular basis\, violence triumphs\, and feeble democracies ever more often back down before authoritarian rule\, there obviously arises the need to reflect on the possible ways of counteracting such phenomena. Our interdisciplinary conference is intended as a fitting opportunity for this reflection. We would like to look at various manifestations of dictatorship\, violence and human rights violation\, whether historical or current. We will describe them in political\, social\, psychological\, cultural and many other terms. We also want to devote considerable attention to how the situation of human rights and dictatorship is represented in artistic practices: in literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts.
\nDuring our previous conferences on human rights\, violence and dictatorship \;we hosted over 300 scholars representing universities and research institutions from all over the world.

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