That's the Question! UID:20260728T224935Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:854:79ff:fe66:5f4%3 TZID:America/Sao_Paulo LOCATION:Largo São Francisco de Paula 1\, Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, 20051-070 DESCRIPTION:The ti esti question "What is it?" is the central question of the philosophy of Socrates and Plato. \; But how to understand this question?
\nPlato presents a dichotomic vision of answering the question What is it? On the one hand\, an extensional approach\, which he condemns\, on the other hand an intensional approach\, which he favors. A typical example of these contrasting ways to deal with the ti esti question can be presented through the case of the notion of prime number. One can reply extensionally to the question &ldquo\;What is a prime number?&rdquo\; by an enumeration: &ldquo\;2\, 3\, 5\, 7\, 11 &hellip\;&rdquo\; or intensionally by &ldquo\;a natural number greater than 1\, that can be divided only by 1 and itself&rdquo\;. \; Enumeration does not give any understanding and can lead us to sleep faster than pineapple juice \; &hellip\; But everything is not so cool as mathematics! If we turn to a natural entity like a cat\, or an artificial entity\, like a car\, there are no obvious intensional answers. \;
\nIn the International \; Congress "What is it? \; That's the Question!" \; that will take place in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, July 27-31\, 2026\, we will have on the one hand talks about the history of the question\, on the other hand talks about specific topics\, for important Xs ... But the idea is to have in these specific talks a good equilibrium between the X in question and the general methodology to answer the ti esti question\, in the line of the recent paper "What is money?" (Jean-Yves Beziau &\; Flawê\; de Lara Bone)\, Logica Univeralis\, 19 (2025)\, pp.237-272.

\nDavid Hallford (Deakin University)
Abstract: \;Autobiographical thinking - the capacity to recall our personal past and imagine our personal future - is fundamental to the human condition. Yet\, in the context of psychopathology\, these processes often become distorted\, biased\, or impaired. This talk will synthesise research demonstrating that abnormalities in autobiographical thinking are a transdiagnostic feature of psychological disorders\, contributing to vulnerability and the persistence of distress. It will also highlight evidence that autobiographical thinking is malleable and can be modified through psychological interventions. \;
\nBio: \;Dr David Hallford is a Clinical Psychologist and a Senior Lecturer at Deakin University where he teaches psychopathology and psychological treatment. He has published over 115 peer-reviewed papers\, including in top journals such as World Psychiatry\, Psychological Bulletin\, and Clinical Psychology Review. David is a National Director of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association\, and specialises in the treatment of emotional\, psychotic and personality-related mental health challenges. \;

Die Philosophie spielte in dieser &bdquo\;akademische Selbstmobilisierung&ldquo\; (Raphael 2014) eine Vorreiterrolle\, deren vielschichtige Bedeutung immer noch unterbelichtet ist&mdash\;trotz vereinzelter Arbeiten zu diesem Thema (z.B. Heinz und Gretic 2006\; Konitzer und Palme 2016\; Korotin 1994\; Laugstein 1989\; Sandkü\;hler 2009\; Sieg 2013\; Sluga 2013\; Wolters 1999\; mit revisionistischer Absicht Tilitzki 2002). Der 1917 in den Kant-Studien publizierte Vortrag Der Begriff der Nation: Ein Kapitel zu Geschichtsphilosophie ihres Herausgebers Bruno Bauch produzierte einen Skandal\, weil darin Rassismus mit den Mitteln der klassischen deutschen Philosophie begrü\;ndet und das wahre Verstä\;ndnis Kants auf die deutsche Volksgemeinschaft beschrä\;nkt wurde. Aufgrund der Proteste gegen die Publikation seines Aufsatzes verließ\; Bauch die Kant-Gesellschaft und grü\;ndete die Deutsche Philosophische Gesellschaft\, die zum Sammelbecken fü\;r vö\;lkisch- und faschistisch-orientierte Philosophen wurde. Diese Episode im Kontext des Neukantianismus ist bezeichnend\, weil sie dokumentiert\, dass die Philosophie nicht nur ideologisch\, sondern auch durch die Initiierung von Netzwerken zum Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus beitrug. Unsere Tagung will sich mit eben diesem Schnittpunkt von philosophischen Ideen und ihrer Verbreitung durch Vernetzung anhand unterschiedlicher Kontexte auseinandersetzen. Aus dieser Perspektive wollen wir uns folgenden Fragestellungen widmen: Welche Ideen prä\;gen die philosophischen Ansä\;tze\, die sich in den NS einbringen? Auf welche Weise machten Philosophen den Begriff der &bdquo\;Rasse&ldquo\; zum Bezugspunkt ihres Denkens? Wie werden vö\;lkische Bewegung und philosophischer Anti-Universalismus miteinander verbunden? Welche Rolle spielt die kritische Verwerfung von Vernunft und der insbesondere von Georg Lukacs (1954) hervorgehobene Irrationalismus der modernen bü\;rgerlichen Philosophie mit ihrem Hang zur Kulturkritik? Welche institutionellen Formen nimmt das politische Engagement der Philosophen an und welche Arten des intellektuellen Aktivismus entstehen dadurch? In welcher Rolle gegenü\;ber der Politik sehen sich Philosophen\, die sich zu Faschismus oder Nationalsozialismus bekennen?

This gap is especially troubling given the recent rapid rise in transphobic rhetoric and anti-trans policies\, especially in the US and the UK. This workshop seeks to bring together philosophers and scholars from cognate disciplines to explore the possibilities and limitations of analysing transphobia through the lens of dehumanisation.
\nPapers may address\, but are not limited to\, the following questions:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; How should we conceptualise dehumanisation\, and does transphobia fit within such a conceptualisation?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Does dehumanisation adequately capture the wrongs of transphobia?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; What is the relationship between objectification and transphobia?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; How do legal and institutional exclusions of trans people function as mechanisms of dehumanisation?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; How do dehumanising speech acts function in anti-trans rhetoric?
\nAbstracts of no more than 400 words should be emailed as an attachment to suzy.killmister@monash.edu by July 31. Submissions should be anonymised\, but please ensure the email contains your name and affiliation. Abstracts should be suitable for a 40-minute presentation.

\nContemporary cultural forces\, which we both shape and endure\, demand a renewed examination of the body through literature and of literature through the body. The loss of physical touch during the pandemic has intensified the body&rsquo\;s alienation from its social and emotional milieus\, while a digital culture governed by speed\, distance\, and surface erodes the possibility of tactile meaning and embodied encounter. Current debates on identity\, gender\, and representation have heightened corporeal visibility\, yet they seldom foreground literature&rsquo\;s power to reinscribe the body or the body&rsquo\;s unique role in shaping literary sense and experience. Meanwhile\, thinkers from Nietzsche and Foucault to Merleau-Ponty and Kearney reaffirm the body as a privileged locus of meaning\, perception\, and interpretation.
\nLiterature&rsquo\;s varied portrayals of the body\, and its own material dimension\, both mirror and challenge the ontologies and cultural norms of their historical moments. In ancient tragedy\, the body serves as a threshold to the divine\; in medieval narratives it is sanctified and purified through suffering\; in Renaissance texts it becomes an ideal of visibility and measurability. In the modern novel the body is frequently rendered as disciplined and gendered\, whereas contemporary narratives present it as displaced\, proliferating\, and fluid\, prominent within posthumanist and transhumanist discussions. We therefore invite essays that not only engage with current debates on corporeality but also trace the historical trajectories through which meanings\, representations\, and theories of the body have been fashioned across the diverse epochs of literary and cultural history.
\nOnly a renewed attention to the body can meaningfully address literature&rsquo\;s most pressing crises\, including the loosening bond between language and world\, the erosion of sensory immediacy\, and the growing disembodiment of reading. This issue therefore welcomes essays that conceive literature as an ontological threshold\, poised between meaning and sensation\, writing and life\, word and world.
\nThis issue accepts research articles and book reviews in Turkish or English. Contributions should be prepared in accordance with Nesir&rsquo\;s submission and citation guidelines and must be submitted through the journal&rsquo\;s online submission system (nesirdergisi.com) by August 1\, 2026. Submissions may address\, but are not limited to\, the following topics:

\nSociety for Ethics Across the Curriculum
26th Annual Conference on Ethics Across the Curriculum
October 8&ndash\;10\, 2026
James Madison University
Harrisonburg\, Virginia
Conference Theme: The Moral University &mdash\; Higher Education in an Age of Uncertainty
\nColleges and universities face unprecedented ethical challenges&mdash\;pressures from politics\, markets\, and technology that raise deep questions about what higher education is for\, whom it serves\, and how it should change. This conference invites scholars and practitioners to reflect on the moral dimensions of academic life: from teaching and research to governance\, access\, and the evolving social role of the university. We seek presentations that explore these issues from any disciplinary\, theoretical\, or practical perspective.
\nAt the same time\, and in keeping with the mission of the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum\, the conference strongly welcomes presentations on the teaching of ethics in higher education broadly conceived. Submissions addressing pedagogical approaches\, curricular design\, assessment\, institutional initiatives\, professional programs\, and classroom practices related to ethics&mdash\;whether or not they directly engage the conference theme&mdash\;are especially encouraged.
\nPossible Areas for Exploration
\nPossible areas for exploration include\, but are not limited to:
\nSubmission Guidelines
\nSubmissions should consist of abstracts of up to 250 words\, formatted for blind review. We welcome a variety of session formats\, including individual presentations\, panels\, roundtables\, case study analysis and discussion\, poster sessions\, and pedagogical demonstrations.
\nPresenters are not required to submit or read completed written papers. SEAC welcomes presentation‑based sessions that share ideas\, works in progress\, pedagogical approaches\, and institutional or curricular case studies.
\nUndergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals.
\nSubmission Deadline
\nAll submissions must be received by August 1\, 2026.
\nHow to Submit
\nPlease submit abstracts by email to:

Developing Foundational Skills in Underprepared &\; Underprivileged Students
\nSESSION GOALS: Students have always entered college with varying levels of preparedness. Perhaps now more than ever\, those gaps in levels of preparedness are both more pronounced and politically relevant. Some students enter into college with exceptional writing\, reading\, study\, and social skills\, while others can barely read assigned texts\, have difficulty articulating their thoughts during discussion\, and are completely unprepared for the amount of patience and attention that rigorous work in philosophy takes. These differences track social\, economic\, political\, racial\, and gender privileges and disadvantages. Faculty are often encouraged by institutions to find a balance between treating all of our students equally and also &lsquo\;meeting students where they&rsquo\;re at.&rsquo\; Meanwhile\, many of the least prepared students are unaware of the extent to which these gaps exist\, leading to inflated self-assessments and limited engagement with feedback.
\nThe question of how to navigate these competing demands has been underexplored in contemporary conversations about college pedagogy. Most of us agree that this question is an urgent one\, but few of us have found adequate ways of addressing it. This session is designed to provide a space to begin exploring solutions to this dilemma: how to treat our students fairly and justly while also supporting them at all levels of skill and preparedness.
\nWe welcome proposals on any topic related to this theme\, including (but not limited to) the following:
\nFORMAT: Rather than a traditional paper presentation\, Teaching Hub sessions are expected to be highly interactive. Proposals should indicate how audience members will participate in the session.

Instructors are increasingly under pressure from top-down institutional directives to implement AI solutions amid diminishing resources\, expanding class sizes\, and administrative calls for greater efficiency. Recent AAUP data show that 90% of faculty report that their institutions have initiated AI projects related to teaching\, research\, or work\, yet many faculty\, staff\, and students have been largely excluded from decisions about these initiatives. Marketed as a way to save labor on grading and content creation\, AI threatens to automate precisely the moments where pedagogical and philosophical judgment matter most &mdash\; such as providing tailored feedback on students' arguments.
\nThis session provides an opportunity for philosophy instructors to reflect collectively on how these pressures are affecting teaching methods and daily classroom experiences\, and to share practical strategies\, tools\, and hard-earned lessons for safeguarding their students\, pedagogy\, and themselves during this AI-oriented time.
\nWe invite proposals that bring philosophical resources to bear on these questions and offer practical\, concrete strategies for navigating\, managing\, and\, where necessary\, resisting the pressures that AI adoption places on teaching philosophy in higher education. Possible directions include:

Some of our students today are more easily angered\, more easily offended\, and more prone to seeking retribution (for even minor perceived slights) than students have ever been. In part because of the contents of many of our courses\, we philosophy teachers often find ourselves especially exposed\, and especially vulnerable\, to these dangers. Today\, more than ever\, we need to rethink how we approach\, how we teach\, how we evaluate\, and how we interact with the students who take our philosophy classes. This Teaching Hub session will showcase two things: personal accounts of surprising and troubling experiences that philosophy teachers have encountered in their classrooms\; and strategic suggestions for how to cleverly and creatively avoid or at least mitigate these sorts of experiences in our own classrooms.

\nWorkshop Summary
\nFeminist philosophy has gone from strength to strength in recent years\, with feminist work on social ontology and power asking us to rethink our very understanding of the social world. However\, one relative lacuna in this growing field has been feminist work on the corporation. With philosophers like Å\;sa Burman urging emancipatory metaphysicians to engage with the &lsquo\;economic base&rsquo\; alongside work on traditional topics like gender and race\, this conference seeks to find ways to begin to fill that gap. In a world where corporate domination is near-universal\, where platforms like Google are rapidly entrenching a new (and potentially post-capitalist) ruling class\, and where corporate power has helped to give rise to increasingly fascist national governments around the world\, the need for feminist theorisations and critiques of the corporation has never been more urgent.

Yet despite broad public support\, it remains one of the most controversial and poorly understood issues in the country.
\nThe first decade of MAiD in Canada was largely defined by its legalization and subsequent expansion. Today\, Canada appears to be entering a period of reassessment. Continued delays surrounding the implementation of MAiD for mental illness\, Alberta&rsquo\;s recent MAiD restrictions\, growing critiques from the disability community\, increasing concerns about structural vulnerabilities and social suffering\, debates over conscientious refusal and institutional participation\, and broader questions concerning safeguards\, oversight\, and public trust have prompted renewed reflection on the future of assisted dying in Canada.
\nThis conference seeks to take stock of Canada&rsquo\;s first decade of MAiD.
\nTen years in\, the central question is no longer simply whether MAiD should be legal. Rather\, the debate increasingly concerns where the boundaries should be drawn\, how these boundaries are justified\, and what values should guide future MAiD policy.
\nDisagreements about MAiD are often presented as conflicts between supporters and opponents. Yet many of the most difficult questions arise among people who share similar values but disagree about how these values should be interpreted and balanced\, especially in hard cases. Concepts of autonomy\, compassion\, dignity\, equality\, protection\, and care continue to animate the debate\, yet these are not fixed rules that can be applied mechanically. Rather\, they require judgment under conditions of uncertainty. Consequently\, reasonable disagreement can persist even among those who share many of the same moral commitments.
\nThe conference does not aim to advance a particular position on assisted dying. Rather\, it seeks to promote a deeper understanding of the legal\, ethical\, clinical\, and social questions that continue to shape Canada&rsquo\;s MAiD system. By bringing together scholars\, clinicians\, policymakers\, legal experts\, students\, and members of the public\, the conference seeks to foster thoughtful discussion on what Canada has learned from its first decade of MAiD\, what questions remain unresolved\, and how the next decade should be approached.
\nWe welcome submissions from a broad range of disciplines\, including philosophy\, bioethics\, medicine\, nursing\, psychiatry\, psychology\, law\, public policy\, political science\, disability studies\, sociology\, social work\, and religious studies. \;
\nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to:
\n&bull\; Lessons from the first decade of MAiD in Canada
&bull\; Legal and constitutional developments post-Carter
&bull\; Public trust\, safeguards\, and oversight
&bull\; Clinical judgment\, professional discretion\, and assessor variability
&bull\; Disability and Indigenous perspectives on MAiD
&bull\; Structural vulnerability\, inequality\, and social suffering
&bull\; Mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition (MI-SUMC)
&bull\; Dementia and advance requests
&bull\; Mature minors
&bull\; Conscientious refusal and institutional participation
&bull\; Equality\, discrimination\, and access
&bull\; Comparative and international perspectives
&bull\; Empirical research on MAiD practice and outcomes
&bull\; Media representation and public discourse
&bull\; Lived experiences of patients\, families\, and providers
&bull\; The future of MAiD policy in Canada
We are particularly interested in contributions that illuminate the complexities of assisted dying and engage constructively with competing perspectives. We welcome submissions from participants representing diverse backgrounds\, viewpoints\, and methodological approaches.
\nSubmission instructions
\nAbstracts of approximately 500-600 words should be submitted by August 15\, 2026 to Nicholas Dunn (nicholas.dunn@uleth.ca). We welcome both individual papers and panel proposals. Papers should be suitable for a 30-minute presentation\; panel presentations will be allocated 1 hour.

When professional philosophers ask &ldquo\;How is the discipline changing?&rdquo\; associated questions arise in the context of graduate studies: Who are we training to do professional philosophy? What is it that professional philosophers and graduate students actually do on a day-to-day basis? How are we training people to succeed in those roles\, and how are graduate students already performing the work of professional philosophers? \;
\nWe are interested in two large topics related to the role of graduate students in philosophy: (1) the pedagogical opportunities and challenges present for graduate students in educational roles\; (2) the pedagogical methods specific to graduate programs and instructors teaching graduate students (especially teaching graduate students how to teach). \;
\nWe welcome proposals on any topic related to this theme\, including (but not limited to) the following:
\nThe role and responsibilities of graduate student instructors. \;
\nTeaching graduate students how to teach philosophy.
\nSpecific pedagogies for graduate-level courses. \;
\nSpecific pedagogies for cross-listed (graduate/undergraduate) courses. \;
\nThe role and responsibilities of teaching assistants (TAs) and research assistants (RAs) including&hellip\; \;
\nSignature pedagogies or pedagogical opportunities specific to the TA role. \;
\nOpportunities for near-peer mentorship in which graduate students mentor upper-level undergraduates\, or where early-career academics mentor graduate students. \;
\nMethods and strategies for training TAs. \;
\nMethods and strategies for preparing TAs to become instructors of record. \;
\nMethods and strategies for preparing RAs to become independent researchers.
\nNavigating institutional precarity as a graduate student\, including&hellip\; \;
\nDifferences in graduate student funding and labor expectations. \;
\nManaging difficult institutional or political contexts.

2027 Central AAPT-APA Teaching Hub
February 24&ndash\;27\, 2027
Denver\, CO
Teaching With and Against AI
\nThe American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) and the APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP) seek presenters for a session on Teaching With and Against AI at the AAPT-APA Teaching Hub at the 2027 APA Central Division meeting\, February 24&ndash\;27\, in Denver\, Colorado. The AAPT-APA Teaching Hub is a collaborative meeting space hosting a series of interactive workshops and conversations designed specifically for philosophers and created to celebrate teaching within the context of the APA divisional meetings. The Teaching Hub aims to offer a range of high-quality and inclusive development opportunities that address the teaching of philosophy at all levels.
\nSESSION GOALS: Generative AI is in our classrooms\, whether we invited it or not\, and as instructors we are still working out what it means for our teaching. Much of the conversation to date has centered on issues around assessment and academic integrity\, e.g.\, how to detect and prevent (or at least deter) the use of AI in graded assignments. But the pedagogical questions AI raises are much wider than that\, and this session invites presenters to look beyond assessment to whether AI should influence things like the activities we incorporate into class time\, what we ask students to read\, the skills we try to cultivate in students\, and our sense of what a philosophy education is for. We welcome proposals that treat AI as a tool\, as an object of philosophical scrutiny\, and/or as something to resist in our classrooms. Proposals on assessment and integrity are welcome\, but ideally we hope for the session to also include a broader conversation about the role that AI should and should not play in our teaching.
\nWe welcome proposals on any topic related to this theme\, including (but not limited to) the following:
\nThe implications of AI on the aims and value of a philosophical education (metaphilosophical reflection on what\, and why\, we teach)
\nAI and the cultivation of core philosophical skills like argument\, close reading\, writing\, and dialectical exchange
\nUsing AI to support classroom discussion and active learning
\nRethinking course and assignment design in light of AI
\nAI literacy as a pedagogical aim within the classroom
\nEquity\, access\, and justice dimensions of AI use in teaching
\nAI and the instructor&rsquo\;s role\, identity\, and labor
\nAssessment\, feedback\, and academic integrity in an AI-saturated environment
\nConcrete demonstrations of classroom activities\, policies\, and/or assignments that integrate AI or are purposefully AI-proof

The competition is overseen annually by the Berggruen Institute with the goal of stimulating new thinking and innovative concepts while embracing cross-cultural perspectives across fields\, disciplines\, and geographies.
\nInspired by the pivotal role essays have played in shaping thought and inquiry\, we are inviting essays that follow in the tradition of renowned thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, Michel de Montaigne\, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Submissions should present novel ideas and be clearly argued in compelling ways for intellectually serious readers. \;
\nCompetition Highlights:
\nPrize: $100\,000 USD
\nLanguages: Open to essays in English and Chinese.
\n2026 Theme: A New Axial Age? Might civilization yet again be at the &lsquo\;hinge of history\,' in which the events that occur in this distinct point in time significantly influence the trajectory of the future? We seek original essays that offer fresh perspectives from all traditions and disciplines.
\nDeadline: August 17\, 2026
\nTowards the beginning of his Encylopaedia Logic\, Hegel states that &lsquo\;logical determinations in general\, can be regarded as the definitions of the absolute\, as metaphysical definitions of God&rsquo\; (§\;85). And accordingly\, he often suggests that cognition of the absolute gives us knowledge of God. This position implies at least three claims: First\, that there is a distinct\, philosophical form of cognition\; second\, that the object of this cognition is the &lsquo\;absolute&rsquo\;\; and third\, that the &lsquo\;absolute&rsquo\; is what we do &ndash\; or should &ndash\; understand by &lsquo\;God&rsquo\;. But how exactly are these claims to be understood and what justifies them? And how do we get from Kant&rsquo\;s identification of the &lsquo\;Ideal&rsquo\; of pure reason\, an object that would bring reason&rsquo\;s demand for the &lsquo\;unconditioned&rsquo\; to rest\, with God and his denial that we can have theoretical knowledge of this object\, to Hegel&rsquo\;s assertions? In this year&rsquo\;s summer school\, we will be addressing these questions via close readings of selected texts from Kant\, Hegel\, Schelling and Fichte.
\nDiscussion sessions will be led by:
\nKeynote speakers will include:

\nTwentieth-century musicology has revealed the complexity of the musical beyond the limits of the work\, elaborating within the field of semiology the notion of a \;&ldquo\;musical fact&rdquo\; \;&mdash\; a concept that includes\, within the musicologist&rsquo\;s perspective\, not only &ldquo\;texts&rdquo\; and their grammars but also the contextual phenomena that make those texts the nodes of a complex anthropological\, social\, and epistemological network.
There have also been attempts to apply to more complex musical systems the conceptual structure of so-called scientific paradigms &mdash\; notably in the case of the &ldquo\;Stockhausen paradigm&rdquo\; described by Alcedo Coenen in the 1990s\, following the analogous concept discussed earlier by Thomas Kuhn. This structure is articulated in terms of values\, models\, generalizations\, and exemplars. It is precisely the \;values \;of the paradigm&mdash\;explicit and implicit\, encapsulated in a culture&rsquo\;s responses to fundamental questions such as: what is music\, who produces it\, for whom\, where\, when\, to what purpose\, and with what motivations and instruments&mdash\;that form the focus of our inquiry.
Among the countless consequences of musical experimentalism (especially of Cagean origin)\, the impact of technology on the anthropological profile of the musician (in the broadest sense of the term)\, and the rise of ethical claims within digital culture (free software\, hacking)\, we find\, at the end of the twentieth century\, practices that profoundly alter the value systems of the musical paradigm. The new culture of digital lutherie\, institutionalized at the beginning of the twenty-first century in the NIME conferences\, for example\, raises questions about a possible inversion of the traditional means&ndash\;ends relation between instruments and the music produced through them. Similarly\, the expansion of the musical into the territories of (variously defined) \;sound art \;seems to dismantle the traditional boundaries of the temporally dominant musical work\, replacing them with spatially oriented forms that allow the listener to dynamically reconfigure their temporal boundaries.
\nLive coding and the Toplap Manifesto&rsquo\;s injunction to &ldquo\;show your screens\,&rdquo\; Pietro Grossi&rsquo\;s playful\, private practice of algorithmic composition\, or the music created for video games&mdash\;where continuously generative and variable forms blur the distinction between performer and listener&mdash\;are further examples of this paradigm transformation. Finally\, many improvisational or aleatory practices seem to replace the consolidated communicative schema of the concert (sender\, code\, message\, medium\, receiver) with entirely different anthropological archetypes such as play\, travel\, conviviality\, ritual\, or political utopia\, while in many contexts music tends to become more a matter of \;events \;than of \;messages.
\nAll the examples gathered here share some form of infraction against the values of the paradigm but by no means exhaust the wide landscape of &ldquo\;niches and microworlds&rdquo\; (to borrow Massimo De Carolis&rsquo\;s term) through which the modes of musical production and reception\, in the post-digital era\, seem to fragment and disperse into innumerable streams.
\nRelevant areas for contributions&mdash\;which may take the form of theoretical reflections\, documentation of experiences\, or critical and technical inquiries\, always from the perspective of some alteration\, manipulation\, or rewriting of the values of the musical paradigm as described above&mdash\;include but are not limited to:
\nThe philosophy graduate students of The University of Massachusetts Amherst are accepting submissions for The University of Massachusetts Amherst Philosophy Graduate Conference in Fall 2026.

From the invention of the stethoscope to the rise of artificial intelligence\, from the upheavals of world wars to the global COVID-19 pandemic\, every crisis and breakthrough prompts fundamental questions: What do we prioritise in medicine? What counts as valid evidence? What does it mean for care to be &lsquo\;good&rsquo\;? Breakthroughs in biotechnology\, today&rsquo\;s digital revolution\, global conflicts and environmental crises all demand fresh\, critical reflection. To grasp the present\, we must situate it within a broader historical and social context\, examining how healthcare evolves at the crossroads of societal change and technological innovation. This conference invites contributions that critically explore how technological and social transformations shape the moral and epistemic landscape of healthcare. We welcome historical case studies\, philosophical analyses\, empirical research\, and theoretical explorations that illuminate these dynamics. \;

This is a difficult question\, and answers\, accordingly\, have varied across the centuries. But the basic picture from the ancient Greeks into the early modern period is this: take a bottle\, and melt it down. The shape&mdash\;the form&mdash\;is gone. But the underlying stuff\, in this case glass\, remains. In a parallel way\, to cast a statue out of bronze is to impart a form onto matter that previously lacked it. Thus matter accounts for the underlying stuff of the world that survives change. And in a causal way\, the glass supplies matter for the bottle as the bronze does for the statue\, and so they are described as the material causes of each.
\nOver the centuries\, this basic framework was adapted countless times\, and spread far beyond the boundaries of physics. Philosophical psychology\, for instance\, took the mind to be analogous to matter\, in that it is receptive of the forms of things. Logicians construed argument structure as form\, referring terms like 'human' and 'horse' as logical matter\, and debated where the boundary lay. Political philosophers construed the body politic as matter\, structured or regulated by the form of law. And metaphysicians and theologians extended the framework to things like angels and the cosmos. This conference will examine developments in thinking about matter through an interdisciplinary and multicultural lens\, focusing in particular on the notion of matter in the Greek\, Arabic\, and Latin philosophical traditions of antiquity up to early modernism.
\nBackground: this conference is part of a series\, each instalment of which is dedicated to one of the four Aristotelian causes. This causal framework featured in all sorts of scientific explanations and demonstrations\, covering issues from the existence and attributes of God to the natural phenomena of His creation\, including the workings of the human mind and its role in determining human values and action.

\nEduardo Mendieta (1963-2025) was one of the most original and fecund Latin American philosophers of the last three decades. In addition to being a passionate teacher and a devoted mentor for his students throughout his career\, his numerous writings reveal a deep commitment to outstanding scholarship across a wide range of areas including ethics\, political philosophy\, Latin American philosophy\, Latinx philosophy and philosophy of race as well as a rare openness to engage in a pluralistic spirit with multiple philosophical traditions. As one of the pioneers of Latin American and Latinx philosophy in the US\, Eduardo paved the way for many younger scholars working in these areas to launch successful \;careers. His death was a great loss to the profession. \;
\nTo honor the memory of Eduardo and to preserve and further his intellectual legacy\, the \;Inter-American Journal of Philosophy \;invites submission of papers for a special issue devoted \;to Eduardo and his work. In particular\, this special issue aims to showcase not only Eduardo's insightful contributions to ethics\, political philosophy\, Latin American philosophy\, Latinx \;Philosophy and philosophy of race\, but also how these contributions are the result of Eduardo's vibrant and continuous \;engagement with critical \;theory (Jü\;rgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel)\, decolonial philosophy (Enrique Dussel and Walter Mignolo) and American pragmatism (Richard Rorty and Richard Bernstein) as well as a deep interest in non-human animals\, which is the focus of his last book.
\nPlease send submissions to Sergio A. Gallegos-Ordorica\, the guest editor for this special issue\, at \;sgallegos@jjay.cuny.edu
\nDeadline for submissions: August 30th\, 2026

\nWhat are the ethical dimensions of misinformation and its implications for democracy\, public trust\, governance\, and social cohesion across diverse sectors and industries?
\nIn an era shaped by accelerating technological change\, social fragmentation\, political polarisation\, and growing distrust in institutions\, questions surrounding truth\, misinformation\, and democratic legitimacy have become some of the defining ethical challenges of our time. From artificial intelligence and algorithmic influence to climate communication\, public health\, energy transitions\, media ecosystems\, and governance\, misinformation (unknowingly shared untruths) and disinformation (deliberate lies) increasingly shape how societies understand reality\, negotiate difference\, and make collective decisions.
\nThe AAPAE is a meeting point for practitioners from various fields together with academics with specialist expertise. We welcome submissions from not only academics but also \; practitioners\, policymakers\, industry leaders\, activists\, educators\, artists\, and community organisations to critically examine these questions. \;
\nThe workshop seeks to explore not only the harms associated with misinformation\, disinformation\, and epistemic manipulation\, but also the broader ethical questions surrounding truth\, knowledge\, communication\, responsibility\, and democratic participation in increasingly complex and contested social environments. A public panel discussing misinformation and ethics will precede the workshop.
\nWe welcome interdisciplinary contributions from philosophy\, ethics\, law\, political science\, media and communication\, environmental humanities\, psychology\, sociology\, education\, science and technology studies\, Indigenous studies\, governance\, business\, and related fields
\nPossible themes include:
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; AI\, algorithms\, and social media\, including questions regarding digital ethics\, censorship\, and platform responsibility
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Democracy\, governance\, and institutional trust\, including questions of political polarisation\, democratic resilience\, education\, civic responsibility\, and legitimacy
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Misinformation and conspiracy in critical domains\, including climate\, public health\, science and energy
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; The contested roles and responsibilities of gatekeepers\, guardians\, experts and knowledge brokers\, including journalists\, professionals and scholars
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Ethics of persuasion\, influence\, epistemic justice\, and public discourse
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Indigenous knowledges\, storytelling\, and truth-telling
\nAt a time when misinformation can undermine democratic processes\, social trust\, and collective action\, this workshop aims to foster thoughtful dialogue about how ethical frameworks\, institutions\, and communities might respond constructively to the challenges of our rapidly changing informational landscapes.
\nWe invite papers\, panels\, roundtables\, workshops\, creative practice contributions\, and interdisciplinary conversations that engage critically and constructively with these urgent issues.
\nWorkshop proceedings and contributors will be invited to publish in our series: Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations (REIO).
\nSubmission: Abstracts (500 words) should be submitted to Dr Hugh Breakey (h.breakey@griffith.edu.au) and Dr Jacqueline Boaks (jacqueline.boaks@curtin.edu.au) \;by 1 September 2026.

\nCall for Papers
\nModernity is characterized by the discovery of the &lsquo\;New Continent&rsquo\;\, which in the philosophical discourse of different periods has not been conceived merely as a geographical expansion\, but as a potential space for the development of a new mode of practical and contemplative thinking. Alexis de Tocqueville evaluated the American Revolution in contrast to the French one\, interpreting it as a more authentic expression of democracy\, while Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel argued that the future of philosophical and historical development would shift toward the New Continent. Similarly\, Jean Baudrillard conceptualized America as a form of transatlantic utopia of late modernity.
\nHowever\, these interpretations do not reduce America to a passive space of European projections\, nor do they define it as an entity devoid of self-reflection. On the contrary\, American philosophy\, drawing upon the European intellectual heritage&mdash\;its crè\;me de la crè\;me&mdash\;articulates a distinct and authentic tradition of philosophical thought. This tradition begins with the transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau\, where Emerson may be read as a proto-pragmatic figure\, and then develops toward the consolidation of classical pragmatism. It culminates in the work of Charles Sanders Peirce\, William James\, and John Dewey\, who reconfigure the map of Western philosophy through a post-metaphysical paradigm of thought.
\nWithin this framework\, elements such as radical empiricism\, eco-ethics\, pluralism\, Hegelian Darwinism\, and ethical democracy contribute to shaping what is known as American philosophy\, articulated under the conceptual framework of pragmatism. In this paradigm\, freedom\, pluralism\, and democracy are not treated as fortuitous categories\, but as constitutive conditions of philosophical practice itself. In this sense\, pragmatism marks a shift from the primacy of theory to practice\, from practice to theoretical reformulation\, and from a theory of truth to a theory about truth (Rorty).
\nAfter the Second World War\, American philosophy became dominated by the Anglo-Saxon tradition of analytic philosophy\, which marginalized classical pragmatism. It was not until the 1970s that this tradition re-emerged in the form of neo-pragmatism or linguistic pragmatism. The key figures of this reconfiguration are Richard Rorty and Hilary Putnam\, later supported by Richard Bernstein with a more political orientation\, and Robert Brandom within a more epistemological and inferentialist line.
\nIn addition to pragmatism as the central tradition of American philosophy\, eco-ethics developed in parallel in the post-war years through Aldo Leopold\, which can be situated within the broader framework of bioethics as articulated by Van Rensselaer Potter. At the same time\, the philosophy of technology initially developed from European premises with Martin Heidegger and Jacques Ellul\, and was further elaborated through the Society for Philosophy and Technology\, established in the United States. One of the key directions within this approach is post-phenomenology\, representing one of the most significant approaches of the empirical turn in the study of technology.
\nAnother central dimension is the philosophy of law and political theory\, where John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin represent two paradigmatic figures of contemporary normative thought. Likewise\, the tradition of philosophy of art and literary criticism developed\, with Harold Bloom\, Arthur Danto\, and George Dickie reformulating debates on the canon\, the artworld\, and the &ldquo\;end of art.&rdquo\;
\nIn general\, pragmatism has functioned as a space of dialogue and plural-perspectivism. As William James emphasizes\, it can be understood as a &ldquo\;house with many rooms\,&rdquo\; where different philosophical traditions coexist in continuous dialogue. In this sense\, American philosophy appears as an open and unfinished reflective process\, articulated through dialogue with various traditions such as phenomenology\, analytic philosophy\, structuralism/post-structuralism\, the Frankfurt School\, and hermeneutics. This methodological and pluralistic openness makes pragmatism one of the most enduring and inclusive traditions of contemporary philosophy. In this sense\, American philosophy cannot be reduced to a single doctrine\, but should be understood as a shared horizon where freedom\, pluralism\, and endless dialogue are respected.

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. \;

\nConference Dates: \;2nd-4th September 2026
\nCall for Convenors Deadline: \;9th February 2026 \;
\nThe MANCEPTWorkshops \;is an annual conference in political theory\, organised under the auspices of the \;Manchester Centre for Political Theory. The conference offers academics an opportunity to come together in a series of workshops to develop specialised work and engage in lively philosophical discussion. Attracting scholars throughout the world\, the conference is now established as a leading international forum dedicated to the development of research in all subfields of political theory. \;
\nWe are now accepting applications for workshop convenors. Convenors coordinate and chair individual panels at the Workshops. The Workshops are distinctive in creating a space for both small group discussions focused on tightly defined topics\, while simultaneously providing opportunities for engaging with theorists working on the widest possible range of areas in Political and Moral Philosophy. \;
\nPlease note that the MANCEPT Workshops is \;fully in-person\, with no hybrid or online-only component. This decision has been made with a view to facilitating engaging and lively discussion\, with less time taken up with troubleshooting tech issues. Bursaries are available to speakers and will be awarded on the basis of need. Further details and instructions on how to apply for a bursary will be released in due course. \;
\nTo apply to convene a panel\, please submit a short abstract (maximum 500 words) through the \;Application Form \;
\n\nAccepted panels will then be advertised on our website. \; For more information about the MANCEPT Workshops\, please visit our new website (link below). \;

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?
The proposed MANCEPT panel will bring together scholars working on these and related issues. Contributions from a range of philosophical perspectives are welcome\, including historically informed work.
Possible topics include:
&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.
About the Symposium
\nThe emergence of generative AI is transforming activities that have long been regarded as distinctively human\, including intellectual work\, creativity\, communication\, and moral judgment. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into human thought and action\, questions about what humans can do\, what humans ought to do\, and why it matters that humans do it are acquiring renewed urgency.
\nKeynote speakers include Shannon Vallor\, David J. Gunkel\, Anna Puzio\, and Kengo Miyazono. \;The program will also feature talks by early-career researchers based in Japan\, bringing together international and local perspectives on AI\, ethics\, and the humanities.
\nThis symposium brings together scholars in philosophy\, ethics\, and related disciplines to examine these developments from a humanities perspective.
