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)

\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.

The question of &lsquo\;what is possible?&rsquo\; for instance\, often engenders the claim of &lsquo\;realism&rsquo\; as a challenge to political projects perceived to be fantastic or utopian. But In aesthetics\, the question registers in a different\, though related\, fashion with respect to the history of plastic arts. An issue that has only intensified with the introduction of accelerated forms of technology highlighting the contrast between the &lsquo\;virtual&rsquo\; and the &lsquo\;real&rsquo\;. In philosophy the history of the question of reality and realism is as old as the practice itself in terms of the world we live in\, the language we use to describe it\, and how we understand ourselves and our individual experience. This conference gathers an interdisciplinary group of scholars to rethink the question of realism in light of these various perspectives.

\nFloris Verhaart - Johanna Dorothea Lindenaer: Memoirist\, Translator\, and Religious Polemicist
\nAfter being accused of treason and conspiracy\, a young widow was imprisoned by the Dutch army in Maastricht. With the help of an army officer and two of his soldiers\, she managed to escape and fled to Paris in 1704\, where she converted to Catholicism and became a writer and translator. The name of this widow was Johanna Dorothea Lindenaer (nom de plume: Mme Zoutelande). Among her original publications are a notoriously unreliable memoir (1710) and a renunciation of her former Protestant beliefs\, La Babylone dé\;masqué\;e (1727). \; Her translations &ndash\; translated from Dutch into French &ndash\; include a selection of letters written by Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-78) on the relationship between medicine and divine providence (Lettres de la trè\;s fameuse demoiselle Anne-Marie Schurmans\, 1730) and a treatise on political theory with a distinctly republican flavour by Pieter de la Court (1618-85)\, the Memoires de Jean de Wit\, grand pensionnaire de Hollande (1709). \;
\nAlthough this written output may seem like a mishmash of topics\, I will demonstrate how Lindenaer&rsquo\;s writings and translations across a range of genres and themes convey a coherent religious agenda aimed at defending Catholicism from Protestant polemicists and at commenting on contemporary tensions between Jansenists and their opponents within the Catholic church. Both in her translations and in her original writings\, Lindenaer makes clever use of the arguments and formulations of others to get her own points of view across to the reader. This helps her retain the intellectual modesty expected of women in the early modern period. After all\, she could claim she merely reported and conveyed other people&rsquo\;s ideas. I will therefore argue that Lindenaer was not just a religious author and translator who happened to be a woman\; her gender is key to understanding her writings from a religious perspective. \;

\nMargaret Matthews - Rhetoric\, Method\, and Genre in Gabrielle Suchon&rsquo\;s Treatise on Ethics and Politics
\nIn this talk\, I discuss the genre\, methodology\, and mode of communication used by early modern philosopher Gabrielle Suchon in her Treatise on Ethics and Politics (1693)\, and describe its relation to her feminism. I examine how Suchon adapts aspects of the theological genre and methods of Scholasticism\, redirecting them toward new ends\, namely\, an extended argument for the moral\, intellectual\, and spiritual equality of men and women. I show further how Suchon&rsquo\;s appropriation of Scholasticism renders her feminist project distinctive within her seventeenth-century context\, contrasting it with that of feminist writers in the querelle des femmes tradition (e.g.\, Marie de Gournay and Marguerite Buffet) and Cartesian feminists (e.g.\, Franç\;ois Poulain de la Barre and Mary Astell). When considering the rhetorical features of Suchon&rsquo\;s work\, scholars have often emphasized her efforts to communicate with a female audience and to cultivate generosity and solidarity in her female readers. Much less scholarly attention has been given to Suchon&rsquo\;s mode of communication with male audiences and her use of traditionally male-dominated genres\, such as Scholasticism\, to advance her feminist project. I show how Suchon draws on Scholastic methods and genres\, such as dialectic and the disputed question format\, as well as concepts within Thomistic natural law theory\, to reach a specific type of male reader\, namely one steeped in the Scholastic tradition. On one level\, her goal is to persuade this type of reader that concern with the elevation of women&rsquo\;s status is not only consistent with\, but also demanded by the Thomistic theoretical framework that he accepts. On another level\, by appropriating a traditionally male-dominated genre\, Suchon&rsquo\;s goal is to reclaim a position of epistemic authority that has been denied to her as a woman writer\, and to perform (through her own example) the very equality she seeks to prove.
\nAbout the Speaker: Margaret Matthews is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Assumption University. Her research specialization is in Renaissance and Early Modern philosophy with an emphasis on the intersection of epistemology and social and political philosophy. She has published on topics such as Gabrielle Suchon&rsquo\;s epistemology and Marie de Gournay&rsquo\;s skepticism\, and she is currently working on a book project on the philosophy of Gabrielle Suchon.

\nA Workshop and Special Issue
\n\;
\nThe Journal of Ethics \;will publish a special issue on Climate Ethics: Prospects and Retrospectives and seeks proposals from a wide variety of perspectives.
\nSpecial Issue editors and workshop organizers: Prof. Kyle Fruh (Duke Kunshan University) and Dr. Marcus Hedahl (Annapolis\, Maryland).
\nClimate ethics is a relatively young field\, but nonetheless a lot has changed &ndash\; both in the area and in the world &ndash\; since climate change first started showing up in philosophy discussions. Some early and highly influential entries are now 30 years old. Meanwhile\, 2024 was the first calendar year to exceed the much-discussed 1.5⁰ C increase in global average temperature over pre-industrial baselines. This special issue invites scholars to revisit early\, influential work in climate ethics\, or assess the evolution of a theme of interest in climate ethics in light of what&rsquo\;s happened in the intervening period &ndash\; in terms of advancing climate change\, in terms of evolving climate policies\, and in terms of critical response and uptake of earlier work. This special issue aims to provide a way station in the development of climate ethics\, looking back for insights in order to more productively look toward its future.

\nAbstract: \;Thought experiments clearly play a central role in much contemporary ethical theorising. In the recent literature on thought experiments\, some commentators (e.g. Wilson 2016\; Dowding 2019) have criticised the lack of attention paid by moral philosophers to two ideas which are key notions in science. These are internal and external validity. Wilson argues that if thought experiments are indeed a kind of experiment\, then philosophers should begin any plausible search for rigour in the scientific literature on experimental research design. When designing a thought experiment\, Wilson suggests we consider the extent to which ethical judgements that are correct or endorsed in the world of the experiment generalise to the world beyond the experiment. This is an important question to consider. However\, I suggest that Wilson&rsquo\;s approach: (i) overstates the connection between real-world scientific experiments and thought experiments and\; (ii) focuses too readily on the formal structure of thought experiments at the expense of the argumentative context. With respect to the former claim\, I suggest that this points towards a more general thesis that it is a mistake to treat the reasoning involved in the use of thought experiments as a subset of scientific reasoning. \;I shall also consider\, towards the end of the talk\, a more moderate (and plausible) view of the positive role that the concepts of internal and external validity might play in evaluating and assessing the legitimacy of thought experiments. \;

This type of philosophical indexing has (un)consciously made a value statement about which categories in philosophy matter more than others. The overclassification and othering within philosophical indexing actively contributes to solidifying the status-quo. For example\, should feminist logic be categorised under miscellaneous logic instead of being simply put under the broader category of logic?
\nThe aim of this conference is to highlight niche\, overlooked\, and perhaps undervalued topics that don&rsquo\;t fit neatly into the Western canon or into the most popular topics in contemporary analytical philosophy as well as question how we categorise philosophy more generally.

\nDESCRIPTION:
\nArgumentation and (in)justice \;belong \;prima facie \;to two distinct philosophical domains&mdash\;the former to logic and the norms of reason-giving\, the latter to ethics and political philosophy. However\, there are important and underexplored connections between them that merit closer examination. This special issue of \;Topoi: An International Review of Philosophy \;seeks to investigate how practices of argumentation are embedded in\, shaped by\, and potentially complicit with broader structures of (in)justice. We invite contributions that explore both how injustice can be manifested within argumentative exchanges and how argumentation might be mobilized to resist or redress injustice across various social\, political\, and epistemic domains.

UID:20260502T074709Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers: A post-cognitivist cognitive science?
\nMost researchers in contemporary cognitive sciences take for granted in their research (implicitly or explicitly) a philosophical view that is called &ldquo\;cognitivism&rdquo\;. Research in neuroscience\, for instance\, seems to take for granted some form of mental representations and to assume a cognitivist theoretical paradigm of human cognition: researchers in neurolinguistics look for the neural correlates of specific linguistic features\, that is neural \;representations \;of such linguistic features\, and so on. While cognitivism understands cognition as a three-phases process of stimulus&ndash\;information-processing&ndash\;response\, admitting that the processed information consists in mental representations internally manipulated by the subject\, post-cognitivism rejects such view and contends that cognition is not based on information-processing\; cognition is\, instead\, the skilful capacity of an organism to successfully deal with its environment. As stated by Heras-Escribano\, &ldquo\;in the post-cognitivist approach\, cognition is not inner information-processing\, but adaptive behavior&rdquo\;.
\nPost-cognitivism represents nowadays a growing theoretical field that is redefining cognitive sciences. But how does it concretely affect scientific research? Are &ldquo\;mental representations&rdquo\; unavoidable in contemporary cognitive sciences? While the dilemma representationalism/anti-representationalism is an old discussion among philosophers\, it still may represent a debated question for contemporary cognitive sciences. For instance\, some theorists defend a radical embodied cognitive science that avoids relying on representations\, drawing on the concept of &ldquo\;resonance&rdquo\;\, while other theorists keep arguing for a main role of representations in cognition. Anyway\, there is no evidence so far of structural representations in neuronal activity\, which constitutes a concrete difficulty for a defence of representationalism in cognitive science. Yet\, mental representations may still play some role in cognition.
\nRivista internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia \;aims to promote discussion on these topics and encourages all interested scholars to submit original papers devoted primarily\, if not exclusively\, to the following issues and questions:
\nHow may post-cognitivism affect contemporary research in cognitive science?
\nAre representations unavoidable for cognition?

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

\nThe Journal of Early Modern Studies
\nGuest Editors: Dana Jalobeanu and Silvia Manzo
\n\nThe Journal of Early Modern Studies (JEMS) invites submissions for a special issue marking the 400th anniversary of Francis Bacon&rsquo\;s death in 2026. This volume will explore the diverse reception of Bacon&rsquo\;s philosophical work across different traditions and geographical regions.
\nBacon&rsquo\;s legacy is a complex tapestry of intersecting\, clashing\, and sometimes unrelated interpretations. He has been lauded as the "father of experimental philosophy" and empiricism\, and simultaneously labeled an inductivist\, atheist\, or a devoted Christian\, eclectic\, utilitarian\, positivist\, and materialist. While he was a foundational figure in the seventeenth century Europe and reached the height of his influence during the Enlightenment\, his philosophical reputation began to wane in the mid-nineteenth century. This decline helps explain why Bacon has often been excluded from the central canon of Western early modern philosophy over the past two centuries.
\nThis special issue aims to re-evaluate Bacon's enduring relevance. By tracing the impact of his work on readers in varied intellectual\, philosophical\, and political contexts\, we can uncover the untapped potential of his ideas.
\nWe welcome papers that explore the impact of Bacon's work on a wide range of topics\, including but not limited to:

\nWhile Hegel&rsquo\;s Lectures on Fine Art (1818&ndash\;29) have received much attention in recent scholarship\, the question of how exactly art impacts political life remains open. How should we interpret Hegel's view of this matter\, and how ought we to theorize the interaction between art and society in general? In Hegel&rsquo\;s system\, the emergence of art is linked to historical processes of conflict\, struggle\, and contradiction\, thereby expressing spirit's liberation beyond the confines of a specific historical situation. In world history (where art's absolute spirit comes to the fore)\, established forms of political life\, institutions and traditional ways of thinking and acting appear fragile and debatable. As an &lsquo\;old&rsquo\; form of socio-political life comes to an end\, art is the first sensuous embodiment of this dissolution and the medium in which the transition to a new form of socio-political life manifests itself. Hegel&rsquo\;s theorem that in modern times art &lsquo\;has become a thing of the past&rsquo\; and no longer fulfils &lsquo\;the highest need [Bestimmung] of human spirit&rsquo\; (often referred to as art&rsquo\;s &lsquo\;end&rsquo\;) is therefore paradoxical: rather than simply stating the irrelevance of art for the present\, it points to art as something that reflects on and expresses the current historical-political state in all its contradictions. \;
\nThe workshop aims to develop a fresh perspective on the intersection between aesthetics and politics in Hegel&rsquo\;s philosophy. It seeks to reconsider Hegel&rsquo\;s claim that art is absolute spirit&rsquo\;s initial form (before religion and philosophy) and its sensuous embodiment\, and its critical potential in modern society. Speakers will address the issue of how we should read the paradoxical figure of art&rsquo\;s &lsquo\;end&rsquo\;\, its possible emancipatory role\, namely the question of how art not only articulates the predicament of our present society in a visible form\, but may also actively participate in its actual transformation. \;
\nSpeakers: \;Rebecca Comay \;(Toronto)\, \;Peter Osborne \;(Kingston)\, \;Gregor Schä\;fer \;(London/Basel)\, \;Christoph Schuringa \;(Northwestern). \;
\nThis \;in-person \;workshop will take place at the University of London Senate House. \;
\nAll welcome\; advance online registration essential. \;Registration: £\;10 (standard rate)\; £\;5 (students).
\nThe workshop is organized by \;Cæ\;cilie Varslev-Pedersen \;(University of Southampton) and \;Gregor Schä\;fer \;(Institute of Languages\, Cultures and Societies\, University of London/University of Basel)\, and sponsored by \;The Mind Association.

\nThis is a call for papers on &ldquo\;friction&rdquo\; in the broadest terms.

About the Congress
\nThe purpose of the World Congress on Logic and Religion (WoCoLoR) series is to provide a place where scholars from all fields\, as well as theologians of all religions\, can come together to hear from one another about the latest developments in the relationship between logic and religion\, reason and faith\, rational inquiry and divine revelation.
\nThere have been four editions of the WoCoLoR: in Joao Pessoa\, Brazil (2015)\, in Warsaw\, Poland (2017)\, in Varanasi\, India (2022)\, and in Sinaia\, Romania (2023). Previous keynote speakers include: Saul Kripke (Schock Prize)\, Laurent Lafforgue (Fields Medal)\, Michal Heller (Templeton Prize)\, Dov Gabbay\, Jan Wolenski\, Piergiorgio Odifreddi\, Richard Swinburne and Eleonore Stump.
\nThe 5th World Congress on Logic and Religion (5th WoCoLoR 2026) will be held at Vancouver\, Canada\, on September 23-27\, 2026. We invite scholars (philosophers\, logicians\, mathematicians\, theologians\, etc.) to submit a one-page abstract. The topics of the papers should deal with the relationships between logic and religion. To submit an abstract via the form:click HERE.
\nWe welcome submissions on all aspects of the relationship between logic and religion\, broadly understood. Contributions may be philosophical\, formal\, interdisciplinary\, or applied.
\nThe congress invites work in core areas such as logic and philosophy of religion\, formal logic and theological reasoning\, epistemology of belief and faith\, metaphysics and religious thought\, and the logic of religious language and symbolism. We also encourage submissions that engage with contemporary and interdisciplinary questions\, including the intersections of artificial intelligence\, religion\, and epistemic coherence\; the logic of economic behavior\, profit\, and faith\; ethics\, business\, and religious frameworks\; media and communication in relation to religion\; and the role of religion in digital and technological contexts.
\nIn addition\, the congress seeks to promote diverse cultural and critical perspectives. Relevant topics include Indigenous structures of thought and religion\, comparative religion and systems of belief\, religious dialogue and pluralism\, women and gender in religion\, and the relationships between psychoanalysis\, symbolic systems\, and religious experience.
\nSubmissions may be directed to one of the proposed workshop themes\, which include The Logic of Panentheism\; Artificial Intelligence\, Faith\, and Epistemic Coherence\; The Logic of Profit and Faith\; Women\, Logic and Religion\; and Logic of Religious Dialogue. However\, the congress remains open to new directions\, and we warmly welcome proposals for additional workshops\, special sessions\, and interdisciplinary panels.

\nPhilosophy in the Wild 2026--Philadelphia Area
\nTheme: Philosophy of Academia
\nPhilosophy in the Wild invites abstract submissions for presentations at its 2026 workshop\, Philosophy of Academia. Philosophy in the Wild conferences and workshops are motivated by the idea that a shift in environment can engender a shift in perspective. Conducting inquiry outside of traditional academic spaces affords a new relation to the world we theorize and opens new avenues for thought\, method\, and community. (Photos from past events are available on our website!)
\nPlease note this is one of two Philosophy in the Wild events for 2026! The second event is being held in Wisconsin in July\; see our website for additional details.)
\nTheme Description
\nThe topic of Philosophy of Academia invites reflection on how academic inquiry is enabled and constrained by institutional structures such as universities\, professional norms\, disciplinary boundaries\, hierarchies\, and funding regimes. The workshop's aim is to show what becomes possible when inquiry is practiced beyond or alongside these structures\, whether temporarily\, partially\, or permanently&mdash\;both literally (outside of institutional spaces) and metaphorically (outside of institutional expectations).
\nInstitutions shape not only what scholarship is produced\, but who is able to participate\, whose work is recognized\, and under what material\, emotional\, and relational conditions thinking occurs. By situating inquiry in an outdoor setting\, this conference aims to foreground the conditions under which inquiry is conducted&mdash\;and to experiment with forms of engagement that include\, yet move beyond\, conventional academic formats.
\nTopics may include\, but are not limited to:
\nWhat forms of disciplinary insight are enabled or constrained by institutional power?
\nWhat is &ldquo\;professional philosophy\,&rdquo\; and is it distinct from philosophy as such? What about other disciplines?
\nInstitutional belonging\, exclusion\, precarity\, and identity
\nPhilosophical or scholarly inquiry as care work\; mentoring\, repair\, counseling\, and relational labor
\nEpistemic injustice within academia
\nGatekeeping\, harm\, and the moral psychology of academic institutions
\nPhilosophy or inquiry practiced in prisons\, community centers\, mutual aid networks\, activist spaces\, private lives\, or outdoor and wild places
\nEmbodied philosophy: bodily vulnerability\, disability\, trauma\, affect\, and philosophical or academic practice
\nThe emotional\, affective\, and cognitive conditions of thinking (stress\, safety\, joy\, rest\, play)
\nThinking with place: environment\, landscape\, and location as philosophical method
\nThe political economy of the academy: funding\, labor\, access\, and sustainability
\nImagining the future of academic inquiry beyond existing institutional forms
\nWe welcome submissions from scholars at all career stages\, as well as philosophers and scholars from other disciplines working outside traditional academic appointments. Interdisciplinary\, experimental\, reflective\, or non-standard approaches are especially encouraged.
\nConference Setting
\nThe conference will take place August 7-9\, 2026\, at Ridley Creek State Park\, near Philadelphia\, PA. Ridley Creek offers a wooded\, accessible setting close to urban transit while allowing for an immersive outdoor experience.
\nThis is a small\, outdoor\, wifi-free (i.e.\, low-tech) workshop focused on fostering community and engagement. We are open to a wide range of presentation types\, including traditional papers\, discussion-based sessions\, walking conversations\, and other experimental or creative proposals.
\nParticipants will camp at the park for the duration of the workshop. Activities will include presentations and discussions\, shared campsite-cooked meals\, and optional hiking or other outdoor activities. No prior camping experience is necessary.
\nPractical Details
\nPlease note that there will be a registration fee associated with participation to cover food and campsite costs. Philosophy in the Wild has a limited supply of camping gear available to lend on a first-come\, first-served basis. Once this runs out\, we will work with participants to help arrange affordable gear rentals if needed. Please contact us with any accessibility questions or needs&mdash\;we are committed to making the event as accessible as possible.
\nSubmission Information
\nAbstracts should be approximately 500 words
\nPlease submit abstracts in .pdf format\, prepared for anonymous review
\nIn the body of the email\, include your name\, affiliation (if any)\, and paper title
\nSubmit abstracts to: philwildphilly2026@gmail.com

\nElodie Pinel - Vernacular Theology and Authority: Marguerite Porete\, Mechthild of Magdeburg\, Hadewijch of Antwerp
\nThis paper examines the writing of Marguerite Porete\, Mechthild of Magdeburg\, and Hadewijch of Antwerp as a distinct mode of speculative discourse that can be understood\, following McDonnell\, as vernacular theology. Rather than denoting a merely linguistic choice\, &ldquo\;vernacular&rdquo\; here refers to a relocation of theological authority outside clerical\, scholastic\, and institutional frameworks\, into forms of expression rooted in lived experience and the rhetorical resources of lyric and narrative. Each of these writers develops a conceptual reflection on the soul&rsquo\;s union with God that is neither derivative of scholastic thought nor reducible to affective piety. Porete articulates a radical theology of dispossession of the will: the soul in Love becomes &ldquo\;without why\,&rdquo\; beyond virtue and rational effort. Hadewijch theorizes Minne as a demanding reciprocity between the soul and God\, where love is both ontological ground and ethical trial. Mechthild describes the divine as a dynamic &ldquo\;flowing light&rdquo\; that both consumes and renews the soul\, elaborated through intensely embodied imagery. In each case\, theological insight is embedded in poetic\, dialogical\, and visionary forms\, which are not ornamental but constitutive of meaning. These women write in vernacular languages&mdash\;Old French\, Middle High German\, Middle Dutch&mdash\;but more importantly\, they write in vernacular forms: song\, dialogue\, allegory\, visionary narrative. Such media allowed them to communicate theology as transformation\, not proposition. Their texts construct communities of reception independent of academic institutions: readers\, listeners\, fellow laywomen\, informal circles of devotion. Communication is therefore not simply transmission but negotiation of authority. By claiming the right to speak of God from lived experience\, they challenge clerical monopoly over theological discourse.This paper argues that the theological originality of these mystics lies precisely in this convergence of speculative rigor and vernacular expression. Their work demonstrates that the history of philosophy cannot be restricted to scholastic production\, and that forms of communication themselves shape what counts as legitimate knowledge.
\nAbout the Speaker:
\nÉ\;lodie Pinel is a lecturer in philosophy and a specialist in medieval French literature. Agré\;gé\;e in both modern literature and philosophy\, she focuses on Marguerite Porete and the intellectual legacy of female mystics. She explores the intersections of theology\, literature\, and philosophy\, with a special interest in will\, language\, and freedom. She completed her PhD on Le Miroir des â\;mes simples at Université\; Paris Nanterre\, where she is affiliated with the research center CSLF (Centre des Sciences des Litté\;ratures en Langue Franç\;aise). She is also active in public philosophy through podcasts and feminist publishing.
\nLila Braunschweig -A Voice of One&rsquo\;s Own: Philosophizing as Feminized Subjects (Impostor Syndrome &\; Authority)
\nThis presentation offers an investigation into the complicated\, doubtful\, and sometimes painful relationship feminized subjects have with philosophical activity. Drawing on the analyses of French philosopher Michè\;le Le Doeuff regarding the place of women in philosophy\, as well as accounts from women philosophers\, I aim to identify some of the reasons behind what has been termed "feminine doubt" (Casselot 2018)\, commonly known today as impostor syndrome. I will argue that these doubts regarding one&rsquo\;s philosophical authority cannot solely be explained by the now well-known reasons\, such as the lack of female figures in the traditional canon of continental philosophy\, or the hostility of certain philosophical texts or contexts towards women\, whether they are philosophers or not.By linking Le Doeuff&rsquo\;s arguments with those of other Francophone and Anglophone Western feminist thinkers and writers\, I will demonstrate that these doubts may also stem from the unique relationship to knowledge and authority shaped by feminine socialization and its intersection with class and race. This\, in turn\, hinders feminized subjects from expressing and asserting their own unique voice. I will argue that philosophy\, and more broadly the ability to generate new ideas in the academic field\, requires an attitude of self-assertion\, as well as a capacity for disruption that is sometimes at odds with the attitudes of submission promoted by certain feminine norms and societal expectations for women in Western societies. Therefore\, the ability to assert oneself as a philosophizing subject not only requires &ldquo\;a room of one&rsquo\;s own&rdquo\; (Woolf\, 1929)\, but also the development of a voice of one&rsquo\;s own. Finally\, on a more personal note\, I will reflect on the remedies and practices that\, in a non-ideal world\, have helped me find my own voice as a theorist\, assert my viewpoint\, and assume a certain philosophical authority. In particular\, I will discuss the rich and transformative experience of creating and participating in a women-only writing group with young Francophone feminist scholars

The conference will take place on May 5th and 6th\, 2026\, at the Humanities Quadrangle at Yale University\, in New Haven\, Connecticut. The conference is hosted by Paul Franks (Philosophy and Jewish Studies)\, Joshua Knobe (Cognitive Science and Philosophy)\, and Malina Buturović (Classics)\, and co-organized by Daniel LeBlanc\, Sera Schwarz\, and Henry Straughan. It is supported by the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempff Fund at Yale University.
Confirmed speakers include:
\nAmong Kant&rsquo\;s most enduring contributions to modern moral and political philosophy is the idea that there is a moral duty of respect for persons\, and that persons are owed respect simply in virtue of being persons. This Kantian insight reshaped subsequent debates by suggesting that the fundamental moral relation among citizens is not primarily one of benevolence\, utility\, or shared ends\, but of reciprocal recognition of equal status.
\nIn contemporary political theory\, respect for persons has become a central idiom for expressing ideals of legitimacy\, civic equality\, and the just state. Rawls describes a just society as &ldquo\;a social cooperation on a footing of mutual respect between citizens regarded as free and equal&rdquo\; (Justice as Fairness: A Restatement\, p. 28). Dworkin maintains that &ldquo\;individuals have a right to equal concern and respect in the design and administration of the political institutions that govern them&rdquo\; (Taking Rights Seriously\, p. 180). Nussbaum characterizes her capability approach as providing &ldquo\;the philosophical underpinning for an account of basic constitutional principles that should be respected and implemented by the governments of all nations\, as a bare minimum of what respect for human dignity requires&rdquo\; (Women and Human Development\, p. 5).
Despite its influence\, the idea that persons are owed respect (and that there is a corresponding duty of respect for persons) raises persistent puzzles and theoretical concerns. What kind of thing is respect: an attitude\, a pattern of conduct\, or a relation? How\, if at all\, can the duty of respect be justified? And does the language of respect for persons illuminate debates about justice\, or does it risk obscuring them?
We invite submissions of abstracts of up to 500 words to a MANCEPT workshop on this topic. Abstracts should be submitted by \;May 7st \;and should be sent to \;nethanel.lipshitz@biu.ac.il
\nPossible topics include:
\n&bull\; The relation between respect and other central concepts in political philosophy\, such as justice\, equality\, freedom\, welfare\, and rights.
&bull\; Different kinds of respect at work in political philosophy\, including recognition versus appraisal respect (Darwall)\, opacity respect (Carter)\, care-respect (Dillon)\, and others.
&bull\; Applications of respect for persons to specific debates in political philosophy\, for example\, debates about wrongful discrimination\, state neutrality\, and distributive justice.
&bull\; Respect&rsquo\;s relation to cognate notions such as dignity\, moral status\, and inviolability.
&bull\; Criticisms of respect for persons\, including doubts about its usefulness in political theory and doubts about its role as a foundational political value.
&bull\; Feminist perspectives on respect.
&bull\; Respect for persons and justice toward nonhuman entities\, such as nonhuman animals and artificial intelligence.
Henry George was arguably the most important American political economist of the nineteenth century. At the time of his death in 1898\, his works could be found in hundreds of thousands of middle-class American households\, and even mid-sized American cities could boast a range of associations devoted to his ideas\, especially including his proposal for a single tax on the value of land. Today\, however\, his works and ideas are little studied and even less understood. This conference is part of a multi-pronged effort\, funded by the Progress and Poverty Institute\, to revive research on George and Georgism among political philosophers\, political theorists\, and scholars in adjacent disciplines. \; \;
\nThe conference will feature Billy Christmas (West Virginia) and Michael Otsuka (Rutgers) as invited speakers alongside three or four presenters chosen through this call. We invite contributions that explore George&rsquo\;s texts (or those of related authors)\, develop or critique Georgist ideas\, or both. Topics of interest include\, but are not limited to:
\nExegesis and analysis of the works of Henry George or related authors (e.g.\, Herbert Spencer\, the American &ldquo\;labour republicans\,&rdquo\; J.S. Mill (on political economy)\, John Francis Bray)\;
\nComparative study of George and related authors\, including major figures in nineteenth-century political economy (e.g.\, Ricardo\, James Mill\, Marx)\;
\nDevelopment or critique of Georgist ideas as potential contributions to contemporary political philosophy or political theory\;
\nApplications (supportive or critical) of Georgist ideas to contemporary economic problems policy questions.

This includes substantive questions which concern certain kinds of past injustice\, such as racial injustice\, colonialism\, or territorial possession\, among others. Relevant also are theoretical questions about the ethics and politics of contemporary responsibilities for historical injustice. Among such theoretical questions are those that concern the grounds of responsibility for repairing past injustice\, what such repair must consist of when it is owed\, whether (and if so\, how) those grounds can be superseded over time\, and how facts about past injustice matter for contemporary political communities\, which includes questions about how (if at all) past injustice bears on normative features of contemporary political communities such as their justice\, legitimacy\, or authority. Projects falling within any of these subjects\, as well subjects broadly pertaining to historical injustice that were not mentioned here\, are welcome submissions to this panel.
If you are interested in participating in the workshop\, please submit an extended abstract (approx. 500-750 words) to aam5jm@virginia.edu by May 8th\, 2026. \;
The panel will take place in-person in Manchester\, UK between September 2nd and September 4th\, 2026. Further details about the MANCEPT workshops can be found here: https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/activities/mancept-workshops-2026/ \;

\n\nExpressing the political anxieties of our moment\, the term 'technocracy' has become increasingly popular in political discourse. Largely orthogonal to the debate on technocracy\, the connate term 'epistocracy' (i.e.\, rule of the knowers) has made its fortune in normative democratic theory due to the rise in popularity of epistemic theories of democracy (Gauss 1996\; Anderson 2007\; Estlund 2008\; Landemore 2013\; Peter 2023). These theories have developed increasingly sophisticated normative political epistemologies\, arguing that ""epistemic success"" (i.e. the extent to which political decisions\, procedures\, or institutions realize\, or are reliably oriented towards the achievement of some epistemic good that is relevant to political decision-making) is either a necessary or even a sufficient condition to ground political legitimacy and/or authority. Epistemic democrats thus go against the grain of traditional approaches which ground political legitimacy solely upon fairness\, equality\, or self-authorship.
Epistemic theories suffer from unresolved questions. First\, except for Jason Brennan (2016)\, the literature lacks a systematic conceptualization of epistocracy. While epistocracy is frequently invoked by epistemic democrats as a negative contrast\, it often functions implicitly rather than as a fully theorized position (Estlund 2008\; Landemore\, 2022). Epistocracy plays a crucial boundary-setting role: it marks the point at which epistemic considerations are taken to unduly override equality or fairness\, thereby rendering a theory of legitimacy incompatible with democratic norms. Second\, the metaethical dimension of epistemic democratic theories remains underdeveloped. What constitutes epistemic success is often underspecified\, even though it does significant work. Epistemic democrats frequently argue that one cannot have an &ldquo\;epistemically abstinent&rdquo\; normative theory since non-epistemic values such as fairness or equality presuppose epistemic claims (Talisse 2009). However\, the precise sense in which non-epistemic considerations have an epistemic character\, and how this affects their normative significance\, is rarely made explicit. Thirdly\, clarifying these metaethical commitments is crucial because they determine the boundary between epistemic democracy and epistocracy. How demanding one&rsquo\;s notion of truth or epistemic success is\, and how it relates to other democratic values\, will shape how epistemic considerations ground legitimacy.
In this workshop\, we seek to delve deeper into the meta-normative commitments of epistemic democracy and explore the relation between knowledge and political normativity. This should provide a venue for epistemic democrats to clarify these commitments and an opportunity for its critics to sharpen their criticism. This workshop will tackle the following questions:
1. Can knowledge ground political legitimacy? Should it?
2. What is the relation between epistemic considerations and non-epistemic democratic considerations at the level of normative justification? Can there be a strict demarcation between epistemic and non-epistemic considerations? Are democratic values simply a species of epistemic value or distinct from the latter? If so\, when do epistemic and democratic values diverge or conflict and what should we do when they conflict?
3. What counts as \;"epistemic success" and how demanding should it be? What are the different ways in which truth enters political justification? Are there more benign and less benign ways from a democratic standpoint?
4. What is epistocracy and why might it \;be dangerous? What core normative and metaethical commitments constitute an epistocratic theory?

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.
We welcome contributions in theoretical pragmatics\, philosophical pragmatics\, societal pragmatics\, intercultural pragmatics\, clinical pragmatics\, pragmatics and cognition\, contributions that relate to conversational presuppositions\, if-clauses\, the pragmatics of &lsquo\;de se&rsquo\; attitudes\, proper names\, quasi-proper names\, proper names as speech acts\, pragmemes and speech acts in the cultural context\, evolutionary pragmatics\, pragmatics and culture\, rhetoric and argumentation\, pragmatics and the world languages (e.g. Japanese\, Persian\, Tok Pisin\, Papua New Guinea languages\, in general\, African languages\, Asian languages\, South American languages\, etc.)\, the pragmatics of funerary rites\, natural language semantics\, the semantics/pragmatics debate. The organizers will consult with K. Jaszczolt\, Mitchell Green\, Igor Douven\, Yael Sharvit\, Louise Cummings\, Fabrizio Macagno\, Alison Hall\, Daniele Panizza\, Roberto Graci\, Yoko Mizuta\, Chusni Hadiati\, Alessandra Giorgi for the acceptance of the abstracts and then the selected papers to appear in the book(s).

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.
ORGANIZER;CN="Ana Fernández-Aballí Altamirano": METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260427T223338Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260511T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260513T170000 SUMMARY:Process Philosophy in Under-explored traditions in philosophical history UID:20260502T074738Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:There are two dominant streams for talking about reality in the history of metaphysical thought - \; substance and process. 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:

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.

\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.
