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)

\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.

New Generation Research Exchange
\n\;Call for Applications \;
\nSummary \;
\nThe Humane Philosophy Society\, in collaboration the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Warsaw\, Blackfriars Hall\, University of Oxford\, and Faculty of Philosophy\, Zagreb University invite applications for the New Generation Research Exchange programme. The Exchange programme will give young scholars in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) working on Big Questions of fundamental human importance the opportunity to participate in three fully funded workshops taking place at the Universities of Warsaw\, Zagreb and Oxford. Participants will have the further opportunity to apply to continue the research during a term of funded supervised research at the University of Oxford on the Marek Matraszek Fellowship. Participants&rsquo\; research projects will be assessed by an external committee after the final workshop takes place to determine possible supervisors for research visits to Oxford. The Fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 to take place in Trogir\, Croatia. \;
\nAn introductory video can be viewed here: \;
\nhttps://youtu.be/vfaPrP2W2Hs

\nApplicants will normally be MA or early PhD students at Central and Eastern European research institutions\, including universities\, research academies and seminaries\, or young scholars from CEE on equivalent degree programmes outside the region. The programme is intended to support research projects of successful candidates during the final year of their MA course\, or developing their MA research topics for publication\, or with a PhD application in mind\, as well as those beginning to work on a PhD. Proposed projects should broadly fall under the project themes\, which are outlined below. \; It is expected that most applications will be submitted by natural scientists\, theologians and philosophers\, but there are no disciplinary restrictions and applicants with academic backgrounds in other areas are also welcome. Applications are welcome from researchers working in any religious tradition\, and from researchers working in no religious tradition.
\nFor the purposes of the project\, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is defined as: Albania\, Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Belarus\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Croatia\, Czechia\, Estonia\, Georgia\, Hungary\, Kosovo\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Moldova\, Montenegro\, North Macedonia\, Poland\, Romania\, Serbia\, Slovakia\, Slovenia and Ukraine.
\nActivities
\nSuccessful candidates will participate in a series of three masterclasses during the course of the programme. The meetings will take place over three days each at the Universities of Zagreb\, Warsaw\, and Oxford. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their work as a group and with invited mentors\, as well as participate in seminars led by prominent visiting speakers. The Fellowship will cover all the costs of participating in each masterclass including travel and accommodation. The fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 which will cover all participant costs except travel. The total value of the Fellowship is 4000 USD. \;
\nSelected participants will have a further opportunity to receive the Marek Matraszek Oxford Fellowship to complete their work during a term at Oxford University\, where they will be able to work closely with a secondary supervisor to advance their research. The funding for research visits at Oxford University will cover accommodation\, living costs\, college fees\, and supervision and have a total value of 3000 USD. \;
\nSupported Research Themes
\nThe programme will support research which engages with Big Questions of universal human importance. We are especially interested in research into fundamental issues which straddle boundaries between disciplines including philosophy\, psychology\, physical sciences\, social sciences\, theology\, literature and cultural studies. Applicants will be expected to engage with recent developments in their disciplines\, and demonstrate a high standard of academic rigor. Suitable topics include\, but are not limited to:
\n▪ The significance of theological traditions for scientific practice today\;
\n▪ The relations of brains\, minds and human persons\;

ORGANIZER;CN=Caterina Del Sordo;CN=Luca Oliva;CN=Silvano Zipoli Caiani: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260512T154947Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260220T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T170000 SUMMARY:Online Bayle Seminar 2026 : Education and Pedagogy in the Philosopher of Rotterdam UID:20260513T170716Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:The \;Online Bayle Seminar \;is a study and research group devoted to the figure of Pierre Bayle. In the very spirit of the &ldquo\;Republic of Letters&rdquo\; so dear to Bayle\, it seeks to be both international and interdisciplinary\, and aims&mdash\;thanks to the possibilities offered by online communication&mdash\;to overcome the divisions between schools and approaches that have sometimes characterized Bayle scholarship. Founded in 2025\, the seminar hosted in its first year a series of talks on various themes in Bayle\, such as atheism\, tolerance\, and the \;Dictionary. It thus provided an opportunity to discover the most recent research on Bayle carried out in Europe as well as in the Americas and Asia.
\nFor this second year\, we have chosen to develop the seminar&rsquo\;s format around a concrete theme through which Bayle&rsquo\;s work and thought&mdash\;and the context in which he evolved&mdash\;will be analyzed. The objective of this new format is to examine the production of the philosopher of Rotterdam in a more systematic way. Sessions will alternate between reading workshops devoted to the study of selected passages circulated beforehand\, and talks on specific topics. The theme for this second year is \;&ldquo\;Education and Pedagogy in Bayle.&rdquo\; \;The seminar will begin in 2026.
\nWhether from a biographical or a philosophical perspective\, the question touches closely upon Bayle&rsquo\;s life and writings. As a child\, Bayle himself suffered from an irregular schooling\, which he recalls in his correspondence and from which he draws lessons in the advice he gives to his brother Joseph. Later\, Bayle served as a teacher for almost his entire adult life. As is well known\, he first worked as a tutor\, in Coppet and Rouen\, and then as a professor at Sedan and Rotterdam. His philosophy courses\, included among the \;Miscellaneous Works\, are well known. His work as a writer and philosopher is marked by questions of education. The prefaces and forewords of his works not only provide information on the author&rsquo\;s status and his relationship to an ideal reader\; they also contain pedagogical reflections that fit more broadly within the theme of education. Likewise\, the project of a \;Journal of the Republic of Letters\, based on reviewing recent publications\, not only demonstrates an interest in erudition but also affirms the possibility of a learned public and the importance of its education. One should not forget the Reformed context in which Bayle pursued his schooling and his teaching: can one detect confessional markers in his reflections on education?
\nOn a political and theological level\, royal legislation concerning the children of the Huguenots raised the issue of the right to educate one&rsquo\;s children according to one&rsquo\;s own religious convictions. Religious controversy during the revocation of the Edict of Nantes also raises the question of the purpose and means of education: should one not &ldquo\;instruct&rdquo\; erring consciences rather than persecute them? At what point can one judge that the other has been sufficiently taught and that his error stems from culpable obstinacy? Can religious truth be taught in the same way to all minds? This question of &ldquo\;pedagogical differentiation&rdquo\; must be correlated in Bayle with his moral anthropology&mdash\;namely\, attention to the place and role of temperament and passions in the psychic and intellectual life of the individual. And this is directly linked to the &ldquo\;prejudices of childhood and education\,&rdquo\; where Bayle explicitly equates childhood and education with those factors that hinder the formation and exercise of a critical mind. Although the secondary literature has at times examined these issues in Bayle\, the question of education as such has been little studied in his work.
\nProgramme:
\nFriday 20 February\, 2:00 pm: Andy Serin (EPHE-PSL and Paris 1 University): \;&ldquo\;Text analysis: education and tolerance in the Supplement to the Philosophical Commentary&rdquo\;
\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\;

Everybody interested is welcome!
Women have long contributed to the development of theology and philosophy\, yet their voices have often been marginalized\, mediated through restrictive frameworks\, or silenced altogether. At the same time\, women have consistently found innovative means of expression &mdash\; from letters\, diaries\, and poetry to public lectures\, activism\, and today&rsquo\;s digital platforms &mdash\; to engage in theological and philosophical discourse.
This seminar approaches communication not only as a neutral means of expression\, but also as a form of power: the choice of medium\, style\, and platform can grant authority\, negotiate legitimacy\, or challenge dominant structures. From early modern women writing in private correspondence to contemporary digital influencers shaping theological debates\, the act of communication becomes a way to establish intellectual presence\, resist exclusion\, rethink society\, or reshape normative traditions.
The rise of digital culture has introduced new dynamics. Social media\, for example\, can amplify women&rsquo\;s perspectives and create alternative networks of recognition\, while also enabling ideologically charged phenomena &mdash\; such as the &ldquo\;tradwife&rdquo\; movement &mdash\; that recast debates about gender\, religion\, and philosophy. Situating such case studies within longer histories of women&rsquo\;s communicative practices allows us to explore continuities\, ruptures\, and tensions between tradition\, innovation\, and the struggle for authority.
The seminar thus invites critical reflections on the interplay of gender\, communication\, and power\, considering both historical trajectories and contemporary challenges. Contributions may address individual thinkers\, broader cultural movements\, or theoretical frameworks that illuminate how female voices have engaged with and transformed theological and philosophical discourse.

Le Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone\, cré\;é\; en 2024\, vise à\; favoriser une synergie entre celles et ceux qui\, des amateurs aux chercheuses\, fré\;quentent la pensé\;e de Hannah Arendt. Dans cette optique\, nous cherchons à\; mettre en place un rendez-vous ré\;gulier pour en discuter les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects.
\nDu fait de l&rsquo\;é\;tendue de la francophonie\, ces sé\;minaires auront lieu en ligne. Leur principe sera le suivant : les participant-e-s auront tous et toutes pré\;alablement lu un article ou un chapitre ré\;cent\, lequel sera pré\;senté\; trè\;s rapidement par souci de prioriser les é\;changes (10 minutes) par son autrice ou auteur. À\; partir de celui-ci\, un-e membre du ré\;seau ouvrira (5 min) à\; un dé\;bat plus large afin de discuter\, outre l&rsquo\;article\, les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects de l&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre d&rsquo\;Arendt (1h30).
\nProgramme 2026\nEn 2026\, nous proposons quatre sé\;ances ordinaires du sé\;minaire et une sé\;ance spé\;ciale : «\; Arendt et la science é\;conomique »\;\, «\; Arendt et le travail »\;\, «\; Liberté\;\, volonté\;\, politique »\;\, «\; Arendt et la violence »\;\, «\; Philosophie\, é\;ducation et politique »\;.
\nLe sé\;minaire est ouvert à\; toutes et tous sans inscription pré\;alable \; n&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas à\; venir y assister et y participer. Les articles et textes discuté\;s sont disponibles sur le site du RAF. N&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas non plus à\; nous contacter pour toute demande d&rsquo\;information complé\;mentaire.
\nLe RAF ?\nLe Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone (RAF) se veut un espace divers et pluriel\, rassemblant une communauté\; de doctorant-e-s\, enseignant-e-s\, chercheurs/ses\, intellectuel-le-s et toute personne inté\;ressé\;e ou engagé\;e dans l'é\;tude et la diffusion de la pensé\;e d'Hannah Arendt en France et le monde francophone. À\; travers cette plateforme\, nous souhaitons favoriser les é\;changes intellectuels\, offrir une visibilité\; accrue aux travaux de recherche et cré\;er des liens solides entre francophones s'inté\;ressant à\; et puisant dans l'&oelig\;uvre de cette autrice majeure du XXe siè\;cle.
\nOutre l&rsquo\;organisation de ce sé\;minaire et d'é\;vè\;nements acadé\;miques lié\;s à\; la pensé\;e d'Arendt\, le ré\;seau actualise continuellement un site web qui met à\; disposition : une bibliographie des textes de langue franç\;aise consacré\;s à\; Arendt ou la mobilisant\, un annuaire des membres du ré\;seau\, un agenda des activité\;s francophones qui lui sont dé\;dié\;es et une lettre d'information mensuelle.

ORGANIZER;CN=Jeffrey Moriarty: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260512T154947Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Istanbul:20260511T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Istanbul:20260513T170000 SUMMARY:THE CRITICISM CULTURE AND MORALITY OF TOLERANCE IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT -5 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM UID:20260513T170724Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/Istanbul LOCATION:Muş\, Turkey DESCRIPTION:Human beings are weak on their own and must live together to withstand the challenges of life. This natural necessity constitutes the foundation of culture\, which arises from collective human existence. One of the essential conditions of communal life is language. It enables communication among individuals\, serves as a cornerstone of social cohesion\, and functions as the primary vehicle for transmitting knowledge and experience across generations.
\nThe advancement of knowledge in any society depends on the depth and integrity of exchange among those who produce\, preserve\, and transmit it. When communication is grounded in cooperation\, constructive criticism\, and openness to new ideas\, intellectual and cultural development flourishes. Conversely\, when intolerance dominates social relations\, the rhythm of progress slows. In this regard\, Islamic civilization offers a rich legacy of examples illustrating how the ethos of criticism and tolerance can coexist and sustain intellectual vitality across diverse contexts.
\nToday\, Muslim societies differ significantly from their predecessors in how they engage with criticism and tolerance. Shaped by a range of internal and external forces\, they have gradually drifted from their own intellectual heritage\, making it increasingly difficult to respond effectively to the challenges of modern life. In response to these difficulties\, Muş Alparslan University launched a symposium series centred on &ldquo\;Criticism and Tolerance&rdquo\; to draw attention to the underlying issues behind these crises. The first symposium\, titled &ldquo\;The Criticism Culture and Morality of Tolerance in Islamic Thought\,&rdquo\; was held on April 26&ndash\;28\, 2019\, and attracted considerable interest. Encouraged by its success\, a second symposium was organized on December 7&ndash\;8\, 2020\, focusing on the first five centuries of Islamic civilization (7th-11th centuries). Participants in the second symposium concurred that the theme warranted further exploration. As a result\, two additional symposia were organized: one focusing on the 12th to 19th centuries\, held on May 28&ndash\;29\, 2021\, and another addressing the modern period\, held on October 7&ndash\;8\, 2022. The series was originally planned to conclude with the fourth meeting\, which examined the modern era. However\, because the topic is both profound and far-reaching\, the series is now being extended \;with a new and complementary symposium.
\nSince 2019\, the symposium series\, when viewed as a whole\, tended to place greater emphasis on the past. \;This has reinforced the conviction that giving the next symposium a future-oriented theme would be both balancing and complementary. To use a classical distinction in Arabic rhetoric (balāgha)\, the first four symposia may be described as \;ikhbārī \;in character -concerned with what has already taken place-. In contrast\, the fifth has been conceived as \;inshāʾī\, oriented toward what is yet to come. Accordingly\, the fifth symposium will be held under the subtitle &ldquo\;Religion\, Method\, Future.&rdquo\;
\nThe outcomes of the first four symposia converge on a shared conclusion: the intellectual heritage of Islamic civilization offers valuable guidance -both in content and in method- for addressing the contemporary challenges faced by the Muslim world. This recognition undergirds the theme of the fifth symposium\, which is designed as a platform for scholars who\, mindful of the demands of the present\, seek to draw on this heritage in envisioning the future.

This conference explores the connection between theoretical aspects of pragmatics and philosophy. We still believe that intentions play a fundamental role in communication and that the hearer&rsquo\;s task is mainly to reconstruct those intentions on the basis of what is explicitly said (the semantics of a linguistic expression) and of contextual clues and cues (Dascal 2003). Sometimes\, as Mey argues (Mey 2001)\, a priori knowledge of a frame and a script will determine interpretation even if one partially says what one wants to say. Both bottom-up and top-down inferential processes are involved (see Jasczolt&rsquo\;s notion of merger representations). Pragmatics can be put to use in understanding of philosophical puzzles (see Igor Douven The pragmatics of belief or Capone (2016) on simple sentences and substitution). Implicit indirect reports can\, in some cases\, be taken to resolve issues.

Workshop on Evolutionary Pragmatics\, \;organized by Mitchell Green
email: \;mitchell.green@uconn.edu
Scholars in recent years have been paying greater attention to diachronic aspects of language use\, and much of this work may be bundled under the term evolutionary pragmatics. Questions falling under this rubric include the cultural evolution of phenomena such as conversational turn-taking and of the norms governing speech acts\, proto-language as it may have occurred in extinct hominid species or extant non-human animals\, the co-evolution of pragmatics and grammar\, and the evolution of presupposition accommodation and common ground\; the rubric also includes study of how new technologies and political formations affect pragmatic norms. Among texts that are helping to shape the burgeoning field are Geurts and Moore (eds.) \;Evolutionary Pragmatics: Communicative Interaction and the Origins of Language \;(Oxford\, 2025)\, Acerbi\, \;Cultural Evolution in the Digital Age \;(Oxford\, 2020)\, and Adornetti and Ferretti\, \;Evolutionary Pragmatics: How Language Emerges from Use \;(Routledge\, 2024).

The apocalypse has been examined across disciplines including religious studies\, political science\, philosophy\, physics\, and neuroscience. From its Greek origin\, &ldquo\;lifting of the veil\,&rdquo\; to its sociological framing as the absence of institutions\, its Hollywood representation in films like \;Mad Max \;or \;The Walking Dead\, and its eschatological understanding as &ldquo\;the end of the world\,&rdquo\; apocalyptic imaginaries have become central to how contemporary societies interpret ecological\, technological\, and geopolitical crises. These imaginaries shape perceptions of fear\, collapse\, and inevitability\, influencing both thought and action\, as well as the effectiveness of certain political and demographic discourses that\, rather than describing the present\, construct fear-laden\, anxiety-ridden\, and fatalistic future scenarios.
\nYet\, the apocalypse is not a predetermined fate but a social construction of collective fears\, mediated by cultural\, political\, and technological dispositifs. It operates as both a self-fulfilling prophecy and a foundational myth\, interpreted metaphorically by some and literally by others. Importantly\, apocalyptic imaginaries have tangible and material effects\, as they often normalize social hierarchies and draw boundaries over who is left behind and who is deemed worthy of protection in the end-to-come.
\nThis conference\, think-TANC\, positions itself as a space for critical analysis and collective exploration. Over four days of panels\, workshops\, artistic interventions\, and collaborative debate\, it will bring together researchers\, activists\, educators\, and spiritual practitioners to explore four core strategies: \;decentering for regeneration\, cultivating ontological awareness\, reclaiming planetary purpose\, and engaging in regenerative action.
\nThrough dialogue across disciplines &ndash\; from ecofeminist and antiracist movements to participatory AI\, from artistic practices to collective healing approaches &ndash\; the event seeks to challenge end-of-times ideologies and open pathways toward regenerative futures grounded in research\, critical engagement\, and shared action.

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

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

\nDate: 12-13 May
Location: Uppsala University
Organizers: Å\;ke Gafvelin (Uppsala University)\, Andrea Crepoli (Uppsala University)\, Matti Eklund (Uppsala University).
Description:
\nRecent debates in metaphysics have concerned notions such as grounding\, essence and structure. These notions appear to be hyperintensional\, in that they make distinctions finer than those captured by standard possible worlds semantics. \;
\nThis workshop brings together philosophers working at the intersection of hyperintensional semantics\, metaphysics and meta-metaphysics. The worskhop will explore the implications of hyperintensionality for metaphysical theorizing and critically examine the metaphysical underpinnings of hyperintensional distinctions.
\nSpeakers:
\n
Franz Berto (University of St. Andrews): "When Sentences Say The Same"
Dustin Gooß\;ens (Ruhr-Universitä\;t Bochum): "Non-Representational Hyperintensional Metaphysics"
Christopher J. G. Meacham (University of Massachusetts\, Amherst): "Complete Grounding"
Michael J. Raven (University of Victoria): "Essence and Modalities"
Alessandro Torza (University of Parma): "Does Williamson's Suppositional Heuristic have a Problem with Counterpossibles?"
Evie Willems (Indepedent researcher): "The intensional landscape: Salvaging Eli Hirsch&rsquo\;s intensional deflationism from metaphysical commitments"

This conference will highlight the important philosophical contributions made by Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic thinkers in the Middle Ages. A secondary goal of the conference is to encourage dialogue and collaboration among researchers who work in different Abrahamic traditions\, as well as to prompt new comparative studies among those traditions.
\nThe conference welcomes proposals from academics working in medieval philosophy broadly conceived\, which includes the related fields of ethics\, history\, political science\, religious studies\, and theology.
\nThe conference also welcomes proposals from graduate students and is reserving several spaces on the program for their presentations.

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

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

\nMay 13-15\, 2026
\nEmory University
\nAtlanta\, Georgia
\nCall for Papers
\nRecent studies of eighteenth-century philosophy have generated incisive questions about the limitations of the moral and political insight of British and European philosophers who were invested in (or silent about) transatlantic slavery. During this period\, the rapidly expanding traffic and enslavement of African people appears as a topic of common knowledge and discussion in religion\, law\, economics\, literature\, and drama. Writings by enslaved and self-emancipated women and men attested to the violence and degradation of the conditions of slavery\, as well as to the hypocrisy of much of Western moral and political discourse. This symposium invites proposals (500 words) for 25-minute presentations that consider writing about slavery and abolition both as and in conversation with eighteenth-century philosophy. \;
\nWe expect to host 15-20 scholars whose presentations engage with these topics directly or indirectly: \;
\nMarronage and Slave Rebellions
\nTheology and Abolition
\nEconomic Theory and Slavery
\nBlack Abolitionists (in context)
\nGender and Enslavement
\nMarriage and Slavery
\nNatural law and Slavery
\nMoral Philosophy and Slavery
\nWomen Philosophers on Slavery
\nColonialism and Slavery
\nReparation and Restitution
\nColorism and 18th-Century Theories of Race
\nPolitical Slavery
\nWar and Slavery
\nLocal Histories of Slavery in the Eighteenth-Century (Georgia)

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

In other words\, university students virtue signal in the classroom. In this paper\, I set out to answer three questions: (1) What\, if anything\, is distinctive about classroom virtue signalling? (2) What are the impacts of classroom virtue signaling on the goals of university education? (3) What\, if anything\, should be done about classroom virtue signalling?
\nIn response to (1)\, I identify several features that are distinctive of classroom virtue signalling\, given the institutional context in which it takes place. In response to (2)\, I argue that classroom virtue signalling compromises three commonly endorsed educational goals: the acquisition of epistemic goods\, the cultivation of autonomy\, and the cultivation of intellectual virtues. In response to (3)\, I argue that both lecturers and universities have all-things-considered duties to disrupt classroom virtue signalling so that the educational goals of universities can be better realised.

It aims to bring to light new empirical data and uncover novel interesting phenomena that may have the potential to challenge current theories of slurs. We search for theoretical and empirical studies of slurs from such languages\, comparisons with English slurs\, as well as wider cross-linguistic approaches. We also welcome developments of extant theories in application to the new data or previously neglected phenomena.

Often perceived as bounded worlds\, islands have generated narratives of origin and apocalypse\, utopia and dystopia\, exile and belonging\, isolation and connection. From ancient mythologies to contemporary cultural production\, from oral traditions to visual and digital media\, and from colonial imaginaries to ecological discourses\, islands have operated as narrative laboratories in which cultural anxieties\, desires\, and transformations are articulated.
\nThe international seminar Mythical Archipelagos: Islands\, Narratives\, and Imaginaries Across Cultures and Media invites scholars to explore islands as mythical\, symbolic\, and narrative spaces. Myths are understood here in a broad sense: as foundational stories\, cultural imaginaries\, symbolic systems\, and narrative frameworks that are inherited\, transformed\, reimagined\, or contested in relation to insular spaces.
\nRather than treating islands as merely geographic entities\, this seminar approaches them as dynamic sites where overlapping temporalities\, negotiated identities\, and human and more-than-human relations converge. Particular attention will be given to environmental humanities\, indigenous and postcolonial perspectives\, and intermedial approaches\, while remaining open to comparative\, historical\, theoretical\, and interdisciplinary contributions.
\nInstitutional Framework
\nThis seminar is organised within the framework of the ANDRÓ\;MEDA Project (Ref. PHS-2024/PH-HUM-76) and results from the collaboration between:

Epistemology of Religious Diversity: Analytic Engagements with Islamic Philosophy and Theology
\nTime and Venue
\nThis one-and-a-half-day workshop is organised through \;The Birmingham Centre for Philosophy of Religion \;and hosted by the University of Birmingham. It will take place on the University of Birmingham campus on \;14th and 15th May 2026. The event is generously supported by the Islam Fund and the Mind Association.
\nCFP
\nThis one-and-a-half-day international workshop aims to bring together early-career researchers working on the epistemology of religious diversity\, with particular emphasis on analytic engagement with Islamic philosophical and theological sources. The workshop focuses on how agents ought to form\, justify\, and revise religious beliefs in contexts of deep and persistent religious disagreement\, and on how resources from the Islamic tradition can illuminate contemporary epistemological debates.
\nThe workshop seeks to provide a focused forum for philosophically rigorous work on religious disagreement\, pluralism\, and epistemic rationality/warranty\, drawing on both contemporary analytic epistemology and Islamic intellectual traditions of kalam and falsafa. Contributions may be historical or systematic but should engage analytically with questions concerning justification\, rational disagreement\, epistemic authority\, revelation\, and religious knowledge in the contexts of religious diversity.
\nA central aim of the workshop is to foster dialogue among \;early-career researchers\, while facilitating engagement with senior scholars working in philosophy of religion\, epistemology\, and Islamic philosophy. Comparative and cross-traditional work is welcome\, particularly where Islamic epistemological frameworks are placed into direct philosophical conversation with other religious traditions.

\nTime and Venue
\nThis one-and-a-half-day workshop is organised through The Birmingham Centre for Philosophy of Religion and hosted by the University of Birmingham. It will take place on the University of Birmingham campus on 14th and 15th May 2026. The event is generously supported by the Islam Fund and the Mind Association.
\nCFP
\nThis one-and-a-half-day international workshop aims to bring together early-career researchers working on the epistemology of religious diversity\, with particular emphasis on analytic engagement with Islamic philosophical and theological sources. The workshop focuses on how agents ought to form\, justify\, and revise religious beliefs in contexts of deep and persistent religious disagreement\, and on how resources from the Islamic tradition can illuminate contemporary epistemological debates.
\nThe workshop seeks to provide a focused forum for philosophically rigorous work on religious disagreement\, pluralism\, and epistemic rationality/warranty\, drawing on both contemporary analytic epistemology and Islamic intellectual traditions of kalam and falsafa. Contributions may be historical or systematic but should engage analytically with questions concerning justification\, rational disagreement\, epistemic authority\, revelation\, and religious knowledge in the contexts of religious diversity.
\nA central aim of the workshop is to foster dialogue among early-career researchers\, while facilitating engagement with senior scholars working in philosophy of religion\, epistemology\, and Islamic philosophy. Comparative and cross-traditional work is welcome\, particularly where Islamic epistemological frameworks are placed into direct philosophical conversation with other religious traditions.

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

\nDetails
\nThe Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Rijeka is organizing the thematically urgent and engaged &ldquo\;The Challenges of Hostile Epistemology&rdquo\; conference. This conference is aa one-time event gathering prominent scholars specialized in social and political epistemology\, political philosophy\, the epistemology of democracy\, and the many intersections between philosophy and novel technologies. Motivated by recent transformations to how we form\, revise\, and reject politically pertinent beliefs about social phenomena and humanist values\, this conference examines the hostile epistemology of contemporary politics. The conference derives its title from the concept of &ldquo\;hostile&rdquo\; epistemic environments\, which innately and systematically exploit our cognitive vulnerabilities\, entrenched prejudice\, and fallacious thinking. This conference thus analyzes how the increasingly adversarial structure of media\, social networking\, and political discourse shapes the understanding of democratic principles\, enlightenment values\, and expert knowledge. In addressing the epistemic features of such environments and their concrete political consequences\, the conference endeavors to provide a comprehensive and timely account of contemporary political epistemics. The subject also encourages investigations of hostile epistemology that center on the changes to epistemic agents\, who are exhibiting declining degrees of literacy\, focus\, and genuine comprehension.
\nKeynote Speakers
\nRobert B. Talisse (Vanderbilt University): "The Real Problem of Civility"
\nCristopher Bret Ranalli (VU Amsterdam): "Liberalism and the Many Faces of Conspiracy Theorizing"

This year&rsquo\;s conference topic\, &ldquo\;Chrōnos\, Tempus\, Time: Temporality in Philosophy\, Literature &\; the Arts\,&rdquo\; brings together doctoral students and scholars that work at the intersection of philosophy\, literature\, the arts\, and media studies.
\nPhilosophy and Literature both take temporality as a subject of perennial interest. Philosophy has long concerned itself with the nature and metaphysics of time\, its phenomenology\, and the consequences of our apparent finitude. Literature has done much of the same\, while more substantially incorporating temporality into its formal characteristics\, e.g.\, in general narrative form\, in manipulations of linearity\, temporal perspective-shifting\, etc. Furthermore\, art forms such as music and cinema are acutely related to and defined by time-boundedness\, and are generally temporal forms of representation. This conference seeks to explore temporality and its myriad relations to central concepts or motifs in philosophy\, literature\, and the arts.
