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.

Algorithms\, Machine Learning\, Data UID:20261102T201523Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:9818:29ff:fe0f:b9a3%3 TZID:Europe/Paris LOCATION:Nantes\, France DESCRIPTION:Argument
\nRecent developments in generative artificial intelligence and its massive arrival in the musical world have revived longstanding philosophical debates and produced new ones. While one can now generate a piece of music in a few seconds using tools such as Suno\, the use of algorithms to generate music&mdash\;whether paper-and-pencil algorithms or computer programs&mdash\;has a longer history and runs through part of the musical tradition: from eighteenth-century musical dice games (Musikalisches \;Wü\;rfelspiel) to deep neural networks\, via stochastic models (e.g. Xenakis)\, generative grammars\, or Markov chains\, which are still used in current systems for artificial improvisation (e.g. Somax2). All these examples may be understood as belonging to the category of artificial music\, that is\, music in which a non-trivial part of the creative process is delegated to a technical object&mdash\;understood broadly as covering algorithms\, mathematical models\, and analog or digital machines&mdash\;capable of functioning with some degree of autonomy and thereby escaping\, at least in part\, the control of a human creator.
\nThe tradition of algorithmic music\, which aims to design explicit and interpretable algorithms for generating music\, has long been the primary provider of artificial music. But the rise of machine learning changes the game by making it possible to employ implicit but opaque algorithms&mdash\;trained on datasets but whose details\, by design\, elude direct human understanding. It is this new tension that we aim to explore in this international conference. What changes does machine learning\, and especially deep learning\, bring to the ways in which musicians\, listeners\, and philosophers create\, appreciate\, and think about music?
\nTopics include\, but are not limited to:
\nDefinition and ontology \;
\nDoes artificial music\, whether produced with explicit or implicit algorithms\, fit the definitions of music debated in the philosophical literature? Do deep-learning techniques raise specific difficulties&mdash\;especially since these algorithms are not completely the result of explicit human design?
\nWhat kinds of objects do we find in artificial music? Are they similar to those identified in learned and popular traditions (compositions\, tracks\, improvisations)\, or are they entirely new objects? To which ontological category or categories do they belong? What are their criteria of identity and their conditions of persistence over time?
\nValue and appreciation
\nAre there specific reasons to value or devalue artificial music \;in virtue of its artificiality? Some empirical studies show that listeners judge music more harshly when they believe it was generated by AI rather than by humans: what philosophical implications can we draw from such findings?
\nAre there aesthetic norms associated with artificiality: perfection? glitch? the synthetic? kitsch\, in the case of deep networks that excel at imitating existing genres?
\nIs there a form of expressivity proper to artificial music&mdash\;for instance\, the musical expression of things other than human mental states?
\nAuthorship and creativity
\nWho are the authors of pieces of artificial music? Human authors? Nonhuman ones? Hybrid? Or should we dispense with the notion of authorship altogether?
\nHow should we characterize the artefacts involved in artificial music? Are they mere tools\, or collaborators? And what does it mean to &ldquo\;collaborate&rdquo\; with a neural network?
\nCan machine learning be understood as a compositional method? What possible role could data collection or model fine-tuning play in the compositional process?
\nEthical and legal issues
\nAre current concepts and tools for protecting intellectual property adequate in light of the proliferation of online musical content and of artificial music trained on these materials? Should we abandon copyright altogether?
\nAre the musical objects produced by deep models to be assimilated to derivative works (covers or mash-ups)\, to stylistic plagiarism? Or do they establish a new type of relation to pre-existing musics? If so\, what is the ethical status of this relation\, and how could it be legally regulated?
\nHow can we identify\, describe\, and counterbalance the biases resulting from dataset construction and model architectures?
\nSubmission procedure
\nWe invite the submission of extended abstracts (1000 words including references) prepared for blind review directly to the artmusphi.sciencesconf.org website\, on the "New submission" tab \;by May 1st\, \;by June the 1st\, 2026.
\nAcceptance notification may be expected by June 30th\, 2026.

\nTuesday 3 November\, 8 pm
\nFaculty Room\, Blandijn \;
\nAbstract
\nIn Bataille&rsquo\;s general economy\, the sun stands in an exemplary (both singular and universal) relation to excess\, the absolute luxury that both instigates and disrupts the restricted logic of exchange\, a reciprocity mediated by equivalence. In a tacit development of Platonism\, the Bataillean sun is a figure of giving without receiving\, uncontainable in symmetrical\, measured\, cyclical\, or even elliptical schemes. I argue that the Platonic heritage of this line of thinking has a further reach than might seem at first glance. What inThe Accursed ShareBataille calls &ldquo\;the sun&rsquo\;s consumption [la consumation du soleil]&rdquo\; is ultimately unconsumable\; presupposed by every kind of metabolism\, it is nonmetabolizable. The solar anus is replete with its own phallic shaft burning through the cosmos\, while the world that feeds on its outbursts is a mouth without an anus. If so\, then accumulation proceeding to no end and an excess squandered for nothing are one and the same. The nonmetabolizable sun is still or already (time has no role to play here) that of metaphysics in its pre-Greek\, Egyptian version. Despite the dualities it triggers\, flirting with rottenness\, decline\, decay\, formlessness or ugliness on the hither side of exuberant growth\, ascendance\, and beauty\, the sun that singes the pages of Bataille&rsquo\;s oeuvre is the blind and blinding image of eternity and of capital\, the most recent instantiation of the nonmetabolizable on a planetary and cosmic scales. \; \;

International Bauhaus Colloquium | Politics of Research UID:20261102T201526Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:9818:29ff:fe0f:b9a3%3 TZID:Europe/Berlin LOCATION:Geschwister-Scholl-Str. 8\, Weimar\, Germany\, 99423 DESCRIPTION:XV. International Bauhaus-Colloquium | Politics of Research
\nAbstract
\nResearch at universities is inherently political\, a fact made all the more evident during times of intensifying social and political polarisation when politicians denounce universities as »\;enemies«\;. But also within academia itself\, the constitution\, purposes\, and approaches of research are brought into question. The XV. International Bauhaus Colloquium invites researchers from the humanities\, arts\, and architecture\, from across different discourses and geographies to critically examine the politics that underlie\, shape\, or result from research. As an interdisciplinary academic event\, it aims to create a platform for exploring how research deals with power relations\, institutional structures\, funding systems\, epistemologies\, socio-cultural contexts\, and dynamic publics. Politics of research manifest themselves on the level of specific research projects as well as on the level of procedures and frameworks \;as such. In addition to issues of access\, representation\, and ethics\, the Colloquium will address critical and criticising practices.

\nThe reading group is organized by the Linguistic Kant Consortium\, a research initiative within the Department of Philosophy and Moral Sciences at Ghent University\, Belgium. It brings together a PhD and a Postdoctoral project\, both funded by the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO)\, obtained by Alice Cambi and Levi Haeck Gormez\, respectively (promotor: Professor Gertrudis Van de Vijver). The central aim of the consortium is to explore the intersection of Kant&rsquo\;s transcendental philosophy and philosophy of language and/or linguistics. This area of study has seen a growing wave of interest in recent years\, though there remains a scarcity of resources for scholars and students working on Kant&rsquo\;s philosophy. The Linguistic Kant Consortium seeks to address this gap by (a) organizing the aforementioned fortnightly reading group dedicated to Kant's reflections on language\, as well as his intellectual sources (e.g.\, Locke\, de Condillac\, Rousseau)\, key interlocutors (e.g.\, Herder\, Hamann)\, and the developments in post-Kantian philosophy (e.g.\, von Humboldt\, Hegel). To enrich the discussions\, the reading group also (b) features regular lectures by leading experts.
\nThis semester\, the group will be reading the Metacritique on the Purism of Reason by Hamann and the Origin of Languages and Writing by Tetens. \; \;
\nSCHEDULE
\n4/11\, 3-5 PM CET: J. G. Hamann's Metacritique on the Purism of Reason
\n18/11\, 3-5 PM CET: J. N. Tetens' On the Origin of Languages and Writing (Part I-V)
\n2/12\, 3-5 PM CET: J. N. Tetens' On the Origin of Languages and Writing (Part VI-VII) \;
\nWe warmly invite all interested students and colleagues to join us for the discussions. \; To be included in the mailing list\, receive the Teams link\, and the schedule of the reading group\, send an email to [Alice.Cambi@UGent.be]

\n\nTitle: \; \;Was Early Carnap a Machian Neutral Monist?
\n\nAbstract:
\nIn this talk\, I defend the thesis that early Carnap is a Machian neutral monist. To support this thesis\, I mediate between two opposing readings of the relation between Mach and early Carnap: Textor (2021)\, who advances a neutral monistic reading of Carnap&rsquo\;s Aufbau\, and Banks (2003\, 2014)\, who regards Carnap&rsquo\;s Aufbau and Mach&rsquo\;s neutral monism as divergent projects. I argue that the Aufbau does not satisfy the main conditions of Machian neutral monism and that the comparison between Mach and early Carnap with respect to ontological neutrality remains largely underdetermined. I further argue that Carnap&rsquo\;s pre-Aufbau works satisfy the main conditions of Machian neutral monism and support a reading according to which Mach and early Carnap are aligned in their account of ontological neutrality.

It argues that this enigmatic work can be fruitfully read as Plato&rsquo\;s serious and positive attempt work out a science (epistēmē) of Socratic self-knowledge so that we can flourish collectively as a political community\, and in turn personally. The central question posed by the dialogue is this: How is it possible to translate Socrates&rsquo\; unique ability to examine what one knows and does not know become a branch of learning or a system of understanding (to mathēma) that can be learned\, taught\, and ultimately used to form the basis of a well-governed city? In other words\, how can self-knowledge become something communal\, not just for Socrates\, but for you and me? This reading allows us to understand the most enigmatic aspects of the dialogue and appreciate Plato (already in the &ldquo\;early\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Socratic&rdquo\; dialogues) as an ambitious\, highly original\, and politically minded philosopher. \;

Our first in-person workshop will take place on the University of Stirling campus on the 7th and 8th of November 2026.
\nIn addition to a number of invited speakers (TBA)\, we are pleased to invite the submission of extended abstracts to be considered for presentation at this workshop. Abstracts should include a short bibliography\, should be no longer than 800 words in total\, and should be anonymised for review. Abstracts should be sent to Sharon Coull thoughtmanagingeditor@gmail.com\, by the end of day on Wednesday 30th of September\, 2026. Proposed presentations can be on any aspect of the project\, though we particularly invite abstracts on what is involved in being a responsible epistemic agent\, and whether epistemic responsibility raises any distinctive issues not already raised by responsibility for action in general. Following review\, selected authors will be invited to attend the workshop and give a presentation based on their submissions\, with 2-3 nights of accommodation and the workshop dinner paid for by the project (unfortunately\, we are unable to cover the cost of travel to Stirling).
\nOverview
\nOne lesson of Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s On Certainty is that responsible inquiry requires that we take certain things on trust rather than seeking evidence in their favour\, and yet\, accepting things without evidence can be a manifestation of prejudice. How can we distinguish cases in which accepting something without evidence is demanded of us as responsible epistemic agents from those in which it must be avoided? What steps might we take as an epistemic community to promote responsible inquiry\, given the risks of falling into prejudicial thinking?
\nThese questions have particular urgency in the present social context\, in which real social harm is caused both by unjustified doubts&mdash\;such as climate change denial\, distrust of experts etc. &mdash\;and unjustified acceptances&mdash\;as seen in the phenomenon of online echo chambers\, the proliferation of conspiracy theories etc. \;This project will clarify what it takes to be a responsible inquirer in a world that is so uncooperative\, and where the consequences of lapsing into prejudicial thinking are so harmful.
\nSome issues to be explored draw on and evaluate hints and insights from On Certainty and views advanced in the extensive literature of what has come to be known as hinge epistemology. What should be included in the range of presuppositions that inquiring rational agents cannot but &lsquo\;take for granted&rsquo\; as background to the responsible formation of belief&mdash\;for example\, propositions about the effectiveness of their own cognitive capacities and the suitability of the circumstances in which they are deployed for the effective function of those capacities. Some of these propositions will admit of independent investigation\, but that of course will rest upon a further set of propositions.
\nMore specific questions to be addressed at the workshop include:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; What are the nature and limits of rationally unavoidable epistemic trust?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; What is the nature of epistemic responsibility?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; What are the conditions for the effective transmission of reliable information?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; What is the significance of &lsquo\;inherited&rsquo\; backgrounds and echo chambers.
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Why are people susceptible to disinformation?

Paradigmatic examples include the IAMUS Computer\, which follows an evo-devo approach based on evolutionary algorithms\, and Playform\, a machine learning AI system constituted by a generative adversarial network. Those cases present an apparent problem for the authorship of their musical outcomes insofar as the notion of authorship has been traditionally defined in psychologist terms implying human agency (e.g.\, intentionality\, responsibility\, endorsement et al.) and associated to exclusive authorial rights\, both economic and moral rights. This puzzling situation leads some scholars to look for authorship beyond the causal source of those AI-generated works\, locating it in some human agent like the system programmer\, the user of the AI system or the human authors of works used in training the system. Here\, I will present what I call the simple view on the authorship of AI-generated musical works\, according to which AI systems are the authors of those works in a fullest sense\, assimilating this to the case of human works-for-hire. The simple view is sustained by the identification of a notion of minimal authorship in music that needs not to adopt the psychologist stance to explain the standard role of composers\, in which deflationary notions of intention consistent with AI can do the job. In addition\, the authorial status attributed by the simple view to AI systems detachs them from authorial rights\, but it will be shown that this is a non-revisionary unproblematic consequence since those rights are only contingently attached to authorship. \;

\n\nTitle: \; \;Einstein gaining a foothold in the quantum world\, 1905&ndash\;1925
\n\nAbstract:
\nIn his early work on quantum theory\, Einstein found a number of constraints on a new theory of radiation that would account for various phenomena classical theory could not account for. He found most of these constraints by making sure the thermal behavior of radiation was in accordance with general results in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Similar considerations led him to his quantum theory of the ideal gas\, which helped pave the way for Schrö\;dinger&rsquo\;s wave mechanics.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming our society\, scientific practices\, and our understanding of the human mind. The rise of sophisticated AI systems raises profound philosophical questions across multiple disciplines. The intersection of philosophy and AI is more relevant than ever. Machine learning reshapes scientific discovery and knowledge production\, while algorithmic systems raise urgent ethical questions regarding bias and value alignment. Simultaneously\, advancements in generative AI and artificial cognition force us to revisit foundational debates about creativity\, consciousness\, and agency.
This conference invites submissions that address foundational and applied issues at the intersection of philosophy and artificial intelligence. Possible topics include\, but are not limited to:
&bull\; \; \; ethics of AI (e.g.\, algorithmic bias\, value alignment\, moral status of AI)\,
&bull\; \; \; AI in scientific discovery and practice\,
&bull\; \; \; epistemology of AI (e.g.\, can LLMs testify\, epistemic trust in machines)\,
&bull\; \; \; AI consciousness and philosophy of mind\,
&bull\; \; \; aesthetics of AI-generated art and creativity\,
&bull\; \; \; the alignment problem and existential risk\,
&bull\; \; \; explainable AI (XAI) and understanding\,
&bull\; \; \; the nature of artificial agency\, and
&bull\; \; \; human-AI interaction and cognitive enhancement.
The call for submission is now closed. \;You can join us as a listener by registering here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/3qs3iYxG9n. This is an inperson event only.
\nWe would appreciate it if the abstracts sent were in English\, as that will be the official working language of the conference.
\nConference fee is 10 &euro\;.
\nIf enough participants are interested\, they can publish their work in a peer-reviewed student compendium\, which will be reviewed by faculty professors. \;
\nPlease do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your applications.
Please join us for the next instalment of the Melbourne Philosophy of Mind workshop on Friday November 13. It will be held at Monash City Campus from 10am til 4:40pm. There will be four talks\, with a break for lunch. Speakers TBD.

\n\nTitle: \; \;Do neural networks understand what they are doing?
\n\nAbstract: \;
\nIt is often claimed that neural networks construct models of the world (&ldquo\;world models&rdquo\;) and do not merely exploit heuristics. In this sense\, they are said to understand their tasks. But it is not always clear what having a world model amounts to\, or what should count as evidence for or against. In the first half of the talk\, I propose a minimal notion of a world model: a single\, unified representation of a task that preserves its structural relations. I explain how this notion sits within a hierarchy of stronger ones\, and argue that many disputes about world models are merely verbal. In the second half of the talk\, I reassess the standard example of a network using a world model: Othello-GPT\, a transformer widely taken to use a model of the Othello board. I argue that the existing evidence is ambiguous once we adopt the right baselines and the right metrics. I then introduce another kind of evidence that favors the heuristic interpretation: how quickly the network learns variants of Othello that extend rather than scramble the board&rsquo\;s geometry. I end by drawing general lessons for attributing world models to neural networks\, and by describing similar approaches for attributing algorithms and probabilistic inference.

\nTHIRD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2027
\nVIRTUAL CONFERENCE
\nTHEME: Women in African Endogenous Knowledge Systems: Philosophical Perspectives on Theories\, Concepts\, and Institutions
\nCONCEPT NOTE:
\nAfrican Endogenous Knowledge Systems are the living\, plural ways African communities understand personhood\, health\, land\, governance\, education and spirituality. Women have been central to producing\, preserving and transforming this knowledge as healers\, farmers\, educators and custodians of culture\, yet their contributions are often dismissed as merely &ldquo\;domestic&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;informal&rdquo\;. This conference recovers women&rsquo\;s knowledge of philosophy as theory\, ethics and institutions\, and interrogates its place in contemporary debates on decoloniality\, sustainability and justice.

16th&ndash\;17th November 2026
Copenhagen\, Denmark (Carlsberg Academy)
The concepts of function and representation are widely invoked in the cognitive and life sciences. An influential philosophical tradition\, teleosemantics\, proposes to ground representation partly in biological functions and ground functions in historical selection processes. While this remains a leading approach\, the account has faced challenges\, ranging from the notorious "swampman" objection\, to more recent disputes about the nature of functional and representational explanation in scientific practice.
Independently\, the recent wave of developments in artificial intelligence has sparked questions about the representational capacities of AI models\, e.g. what\, if anything\, can large language models represent? The emerging field of mechanistic interpretability is replete with function- and representation-talk. But is this talk justified? Are AI models subject to selection processes\, in the proper sense? And are the concepts of representation and function deployed here the same as those invoked in the life sciences? Are standard philosophical frameworks adequate for the case of AI? Or should we look elsewhere\, e.g. to theorising about artefacts? And what role\, if any\, do human norms and intentionality play in grounding AI functions and content?
A workshop on these issues\, co-funded by the Pioneer Center for Artificial Intelligence (https://www.aicentre.dk/p1-programs/functions-and-representations-in-ai-systems) and the Center for Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (University of Copenhagen) (https://cpai.ku.dk/)\, will be held in Copenhagen\, November 16th&ndash\;17th\, in the beautiful Carlsberg Academy building (https://www.carlsbergfondet.dk/en/about-the-foundation/our-buildings/the-carlsberg-academy/).

\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.
\nWhat are the ethical dimensions of misinformation and its implications for democracy\, public trust\, governance\, and social cohesion across diverse sectors and industries?
\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.

\n\nAbstract\nExpertise is not unlike privilege\; it is a power that relies on the social context in which it develops. Understandably\, and for this reason\, it is hard to imagine those traditionally regarded as experts being collectively undermined. This paper will establish that if expert standing continues to be undermined in a post-truth era\, the epistemic injustice field must evolve to include a new species of discrediting to account for the phenomenon.
\nTo justify this as plausible\, I first explore the crumbling stature of experts in a post-truth environment. Their standing has been a source of power\, offering credibility\, resources\, and opportunities for mobility to its members. However\, their influence is increasingly distinct and relevant only to those on the inside due to the following challenges. The social context acting as a vehicle has suddenly moved in a way that defies expectations- expertise is no longer a mark of being dominantly situated\, but a signal to powerful dissenters that these individuals deserve to be relentlessly undermined only for their belonging to an epistemic community.
\nThen\, \; I will explain the harm unique to them that arises from their inability to express the epistemic virtues of humility and honesty. I will demonstrate that experts are distinct from knowledgeable non-experts via these two virtues\, which contribute to the integrity of their discipline\, where knowledge acquired for amusement is no more than a pastime. While both can yield excellence\, only one affords authority through relevant virtues\, experience\, and access to resources. Most importantly\, this will show that preventing experts from exercising their epistemic virtues (by their environment's alienating them from their impact) harms them as knowers. These\, in my view\, are the most important to join\, as they facilitate open\, willful exchanges that best approximate impartiality. In other words\, what non-experts cannot rationally commit to when offered a platform to use or consume.
\nWe must also consider how\, in moving towards or existing in a post-truth time\, authoritative demands prevail\, and we find individuals without expertise censoring expert opinions. Further\, expert attention has become a resource forced to address controversial topics. However\, when non-experts engage with experts in these discussions\, it can create the impression that both parties are equally qualified to discuss or define the relevant concepts.
\n\; \; \; \; Therefore\, I argue that a hermeneutical injustice can occur when identity-reliant and contextually-reliant discrediting are conflated\, granted that conditions enable experts to be harmed as knowers without suffering prejudice. Thus\, avoiding the dismissal of these costly issues as mere conceptual gaps amid rapidly evolving social challenges and technological advancements.

Such attempts create alternative languages that at best do not con\;tain the paradox\, but as such they do not solve the problem in natural lan\;guage\, which we continue to use (so\, what is their point?). Unlike this tradition\, I claim\, following Wittgenstein\, that liar phenomena &ndash\; and the Liar Paradox is merely one of many related phenomena &ndash\; are not a problem. They are similar to division by zero\, which is undefined yet shouldn&rsquo\;t lead us to revise anything in our concept of division. All that needs to be done is to specify the sentences that give rise to these phenomena\, something I do by means of the concept of groundless or ungrounded sen\;tences\, derived mainly from Herzberger and Kripke.

\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.

Whereas Immanuel Kant placed a strong federation of states at the core of his vision for perpetual peace\, much of contemporary just war theory focuses primarily on the rights and responsibilities of individuals\, with states and multilateral institutions as a derivative object of interest.
\nHowever\, recent events such as the US attack on Iran without UN authorization\, Ukraine&rsquo\;s potential NATO membership as a key issue in prospective peace talks with Russia and US cuts to peace-keeping UN institutions bring questions of multilateralism back into sharp relief. \;

Scientific data have been collected and interpreted for decades. The data are published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on a frequent scale. However\, it appears as if that theoretical and scientific knowledge is by no means sufficient for initiating a successful politics of climate protection or even to spur individual or collective action desperately needed in order to achieve climate goals.
\nThis workshop brings together scientists and philosophers with the aim of producing an interdisciplinary and new body of knowledge. It \;will be focused (a) on the generation of climate knowledge that helps to translate data into accessible models and languages that might unfold action-guiding force\; and we (b) wish to discuss how abstract climate knowledge can be reframed so that motivational problems can be resolved. Both aspects are desperately needed in order to build bridges from natural sciences to applicable and motivationally inspiring knowledge.

Generalisation and De-reification: \;Cross-Cultural History of Philosophy in East Asia and Beyond
\nA British Society for the History of Philosophy Online Workshop
\nNovember 20\, 2026\, at 09:00 UK (GMT) | 17:00 China (CST) | 20:00 Sydney (AEDT) | 04:00 Toronto / Montreal (EST)
\nHistorians of philosophy face a significant methodological tension: they must generalise across historical materials in order to make a tradition intelligible to others\, yet simultaneously resist allowing those generalisations to ossify into closed\, static systems that misrepresent the living complexity of the traditions they study. \; \;
\nThe workshop brings together researchers\, especially those in their early careers\, who are grappling with this tension directly. Drawing on ideas from different philosophical traditions\, speakers would examine the ways in which historians of philosophy can remain reflexively attentive to the role of contemporary scholarship in shaping the traditions they study &mdash\; treating ancient thought as a living and evolving intellectual project rather than a fixed historical legacy. \; \;
\nThe goal is to model what it looks like to do methodologically self-conscious\, cross-cultural history of philosophy\, thereby embodying the BSHP's commitment to the global history of philosophy. \;

The conference will feature presentations of research that has been conducted by the project team. We also invite abstract submissions for five presentations of new research on the project theme by individuals beyond the project team.
\nSubmission Details
\nAbstracts should be no more than 500 words (not including references)\, suitable for anonymous review\, and should be submitted to Ryan Byerly (t.r.byerly@sheffield.ac.uk) by 20 November 2026 as word or pdf attachments. The subject line of the email should read &ldquo\;Abstract Submission&rdquo\;\, and authors should mention in their email if they are a postgraduate student. Authors will be notified by 15 January 2027 if their abstract has been accepted. The project will fund travel\, lodging\, and subsistence costs of one author of each accepted submission to attend the conference. There are also prizes available for accepted submissions: $500 for presenting a paper at the conference based on the abstract\, and $500 for submitting a paper based on the presentation to a peer-reviewed journal by 30 June 2027. Abstracts will be evaluated based on their academic merit and fit with the Beliefless Spirituality Project themes.
\nProject Themes
\nThe Beliefless Spirituality Project is concerned with forms of spiritual engagement that are based not on beliefs of religious or spiritual claims but instead on alternative states that may play a similar role to beliefs in contributing to religious or spiritual practices. For instance\, several philosophers have argued that beliefs differ in important ways from acceptances\, assumptions\, imaginings\, credences\, or hopes\, and yet the latter states\, directed toward religious or spiritual claims\, may enable spiritual practices despite the absence of belief of religious or spiritual claims. For instance\, an individual who is in doubt about whether there is a loving God who has benefitted them\, and does not believe that there is such a God\, might nonetheless hope there is such a God\, or assume that there is\, and thank God for the good things in their life on the basis of this beliefless hope or assumption. Likewise\, an individual might belieflessly imagine\, or accept as a working hypothesis\, or have a credence of a certain threshold\, that their loved ones live on in an afterlife\, and seek to communicate with them on this basis.
\nThe potential for such beliefless forms of spirituality may be especially relevant for diverse segments of the population who experience belief-cancelling doubt about religious or spiritual claims\, including some religious and spiritual individuals\, spiritual-but-not-religious individuals\, agnostics\, and atheists. For them\, beliefless spirituality may be the only pathway to spiritual engagement. Moreover\, beliefless spirituality may be related in important ways to aspects of individuals&rsquo\; well-being. For instance\, certain forms of beliefless spirituality may offer a pathway toward enhanced well-being for people who are not capable of engaging in comparable belief-based forms of spirituality that are associated with well-being gains. Or\, people who engage in beliefless spirituality may manifest greater intellectual or spiritual humility\, or may experience less belonging to a religion or spiritual group\, than people who engage in comparable belief-based spirituality.
\nThe Beliefless Spirituality Project seeks to understand which specific forms of beliefless spirituality are available to people\, what makes these forms of beliefless spirituality distinct\, and how such forms of beliefless spirituality are related to individuals&rsquo\; well-being. We therefore welcome abstracts for papers addressing these themes. We welcome abstracts using the methods of philosophy\, the cognitive sciences\, or psychology. We welcome submissions from academics at any career stage\, and intend to select at least two submissions from postgraduate students. We aim to select at least one submission addressing psychedelic spirituality.
\nQuestions
\nQuestions about the project or abstract submission process may be directed to Ryan Byerly.

Confrontations\, Representations\, and the Philosophy of Art
\nAbstract
\nThere seems to be a foundational\, if none to clear\, distinction between our encountering things and our encountering representations of things. This was\, I claim\, what Kendall Walton was attempting to clarify in his monumental work\, Mimesis as Make-Believe (Harvard\, 1990). However\, Walton's project has been largely misunderstood which has resulted in a great deal of confusion in much of what passes for the Philosophy of Fiction. In this paper I will argue that Walton's way of making the distinction is untenable and I will attempt to give it firmer foundations. Although the reconceptualised distinction is useful\, it lacks the grand explanatory sweep of Walton's project. I shall conclude by arguing that it is\, nonetheless\, an essential starting point for settling the myriad problems that arise in considering the representational arts.

The aim of this workshop is to explore the relationship between dehumanisation and transphobia. There has been an uptick in philosophical attention to dehumanisation in recent years\, yet its application to trans experience remains underexplored. 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.
\nInvited speakers:
\nThe Philosophy of Contemporary and Future Science research group at Lingnan University (https://www.pocfs.org/home)\, Hong Kong\, is organising a conference on the topic of 'Scientific Progress and the Future of Science'.
\nScience is often distinguished from other domains of human culture by its uniquely progressive nature. However\, while it is broadly accepted that science does progress\, exactly what constitutes scientific progress remains a subject of philosophical debate.
\nHistorically\, the Enlightenment championed a purely cumulative view of scientific knowledge. This was later challenged in the latter 20th century by accounts of scientific revolutions\, paradigm shifts\, incommensurability and so on. Today\, the landscape is largely dominated by competing theories of first-order cognitive progress. These range from epistemic and semantic views to functionalist and noetic accounts. Deeper meta-normative questions have also been raised about whether science possesses objective aims at all.
\nAs we look to the future of science\, given its large impact on society\, understanding the underlying nature of scientific progress\, its normative basis\, how to measure it etc. are more critical than ever. This conference seeks to bring together philosophers of science\, practicing scientists and other interested parties to explore the conceptual foundations of scientific progress and how these frameworks inform the current state and future trajectory of scientific inquiry.

Semiotics &\; Semiotics in History
\nBalkan Analytic Forum 4
\n(November 26\, 2026 &ndash\; December 6\, 2026\, hybrid)
\nCenter for Contemporary Philosophy- Balkan Analytic Forum\, University of Belgrade\, Faculty of Philosophy
\nConference Venue: University of Belgrade\, Faculty of Philosophy\, Čika Ljubina Street 18-20\, Belgrade\, Serbia
\nWe invite submissions for \;the fourth meeting of \;Balkan Analytic Forum \;(BAF4) organized by the Balkan Analytic Forum to be held \;in person and online \;from November 26\, 2026 to December 6\, 2026. The topic of the BAF4 is Semiotics &\; Semiotics in History and it will be hosted by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Belgrade.
\nBalkan Analytic Forum is intended to establish a platform for discussion where scholars related to the Balkans and interested in analytic philosophy can meet on a regular basis and present their work-in-progress or recent publications\, but it also welcomes approaches that draw connections between analytic philosophy and other philosophical traditions and also invites scholars who are not related to the Balkans to get involved in the work of the Balkan Analytic Forum.
\nThe first part of the conference &ldquo\;Semiotics&rdquo\; will take place from November 26-29\, 2026\, the second &ldquo\;Semiotics in History&rdquo\; from December 5-6. However\, the period between will be open to other events\, such as individual talks related to semiotics.
\nI) For the first part we welcome submissions that consider the broad theme of semiotics in all its forms\, and from all perspectives. We are especially interested in the following themes: \; \;
\n- C.S. Peirce&rsquo\;s concept of quasi-mind as an interpreter of signs and its relation to the concept of artificial intelligence
\n- Saussurean vs. Peircean perspective
\n- semiotic foundations of cognition\, can we think without signs?
\n- natural signs\, e.g. the expressions of emotions or medical symptoms
\n- artificial signs and natural language
\n- semiotics in/of logic
\n- semiotics in/of art
\n- occurrent and dispositional signs.
\nII) "The past reality can be considered as semiotic by its very nature\, the past does not consist of events (and things\, etc.)\, but of their meanings\, and the goal of the historians and archaeologists alike are to investigate the systems of symbolizing people have developed in the past to give meaning to their existence." This powerful observation made by Tamm &\; Preucel is the basis for the theme of the second part of the conference.
\nSince the question of signs is unavoidable for thinking about the past\, the question of semiotics in history opens up. In the second part &ldquo\;Semiotics in History&rdquo\;\, we invite contributions dealing with these problems.
\nProposals are to be sent to \;baf@f.bg.ac.rs \;as anonymous abstracts (maximum 500 words in pdf format) and a separate title page by June 1\, \;2026. The title page should include: title\, name\, institutional affiliation\, email\, and an indication of whether you would like to present in person or online. Also\, please let us know if your submission is for the first part of the conference &ldquo\;Semiotics&rdquo\;\, or for the second &ldquo\;Semiotics in History&rdquo\;\, or is intended to be an individual talk in-between the two events. The conference is hybrid (online and in-person)\, free and open to the public.
\nDecisions will be communicated by June 20\, 2026.
\nThe authors of accepted submissions will be invited to contribute papers to an edited volume. Program and the book of abstracts of BAF1\, BAF2 and BAF3\, as well as the BAF1 and BAF2 Volumes you can find at this address: https://www.f.bg.ac.rs/balkanski_analiticki_forum/publikacije

In the aftermath of Kant&rsquo\;s Critiques\, post-Kantian thinkers engaged with many issues\, brought to the fore by his critical philosophy\, that have lost none of their appeal and pertinence: among them are the situatedness of the human subject\, the nature of thought\, the problem of facticity\, the relationship between nature and mind\, and the trilemma between determinism\, freedom as arbitrariness\, and intelligible fatalism. If anything\, these matters have become more pressing in recent years: environmental catastrophe\, unfettered exploitation and oppression\, and the loss of privacy and autonomy to algorithmic information processing lend them renewed force. The 1st London/Bristol Post-Kantianism Workshop is designed as the inaugural event of a workshop series bringing together junior and senior researchers from both cities working on these rich issues in post-Kantian thought.
Abstract:
\nRecent and emerging discoveries in Sign and Gesture studies put serious pressure on the widespread idea that we can model a subject&rsquo\;s knowledge of a language in terms of their knowledge of a well-defined set of rules governing\, among other things\, the grammar\, semantics\, and phonology of that language. First\, I point out that all extant Sign languages are historically recent creations\, which have emerged spontaneously (though gradually) from patterns of presumptively non-linguistic gestural communication among Deaf people. I argue that there is no unique point in their history at which these gestural systems would have transitioned to become &ldquo\;languages proper&rdquo\; (even as they are\, indisputably\, languages by now). Second\, I point out that speech\, no less than Sign\, continues to functionally incorporate non-categorical &ldquo\;gestural&rdquo\; complements in both semantic and grammatical roles\, pointing toward a conception of language &ndash\; in any form &ndash\; as a &ldquo\;multimodal&rdquo\; phenomenon. \;

\nThe Normalisation of the Populist Radical Right in Europe:\nPolitical\, Legal and Institutional Transformations
\nThe Journal of Law\, Society\, and Authority (JLSA) invites original research contributions for a peer-reviewed special issue examining the rise and increasing normalisation of the populist radical right in Europe and its implications for European political systems\, democratic institutions\, law\, fundamental rights\, and the future of European integration.
\nThe special issue moves beyond analyses focused exclusively on electoral performance or immigration politics. It explores the broader transformation of political competition\, democratic institutions\, constitutional orders\, public policy\, fundamental rights\, and European integration associated with the growing visibility and institutionalisation of the populist radical right.
\nAreas of Interest\nContributions may address\, but are not limited to:
\nPolitical transformation\, electoral politics\, party competition\, and the mainstreaming of the populist radical right
\nEuropean integration\, Euroscepticism\, EU institutions\, sovereignty\, and the future of European integration
\nDemocracy\, constitutionalism\, the rule of law\, judicial independence\, separation of powers\, and democratic resilience
\nMigration\, asylum\, citizenship\, national identity\, minority rights\, gender and family politics
\nDigital platforms\, political communication\, mobilisation\, and political discourse
\nEuropean foreign and security policy and EU external action
\nComparative and cross-national perspectives on the populist radical right in Europe
\nTransnational and interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary European political\, legal\, and institutional transformations
\nThe special issue welcomes theoretical\, empirical\, comparative\, doctrinal\, socio-legal\, and interdisciplinary contributions from political science\, European studies\, law\, international relations\, sociology\, security studies\, public policy\, and related fields in the social sciences and humanities.
\nBoth European and non-European scholars are encouraged to contribute\, particularly where submissions offer comparative\, transnational\, or theoretically relevant perspectives.
\nSubmission Information\nLanguages: English and French

Rugby is a close cousin of football (soccer)\, but it&rsquo\;s a far more &ldquo\;glocal&rdquo\; game. It&rsquo\;s played on every continent\, yet it&rsquo\;s deeply rooted in some corners of the world while barely registering in the places right next door. Little wonder\, then\, that sociologists and anthropologists have taken an interest in it. Pierre Sansot and Anne Saouter\, for instance\, have explored rugby culture in Southwest France from an anthropological angle.
\nPhilosophy has been a bit slower to join the scrum\, though thinkers like Michel Serres and Catherine Kintzler have long been fascinated by this collective combat sport. Serres even argued that watching rugby gives us a window onto the deep workings of human nature: the tectonic plates that shape how we live in society and relate to the world.
\nAnd it&rsquo\;s easy to see why. Rugby\, in all its beauty and complexity\, raises real philosophical questions: how do the individual and the group fit together? How do justice and the law relate? It&rsquo\;s also a perfect illustration of Yves Vargas&rsquo\;s thesis that\, in sport\, the rule carries ontological value. That&rsquo\;s why work by former players who think about the oval ball game philosophically is especially valuable.
\nWith all this in mind\, the University of É\;vora is delighted to host the International Conference on Philosophy and Rugby\, &ldquo\;Tackling Emotions\,&rdquo\; on 25 and 26 May 2027. We warmly invite anyone drawn to either of these passions to join us in our beautiful\, historic city. Together we can dig into these questions\, and many others\, and keep strengthening the dialogue between rugby and philosophy.
\nCall for Papers
\nWe&rsquo\;d love to hear from you! Proposals for communications are open until \;30 November 2026.
\nPlease send us an abstract of 250 to 350 words\, along with a short biographical note (100 words maximum). Presentations will run for up to 20 minutes\, followed by a 10-minute discussion\, so there will be plenty of time for exchange.
\nSubmissions should be sent to \;evoraphilosophyrugby@gmail.com.

The Human Condition and the Culture of Care UID:20261102T201608Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:9818:29ff:fe0f:b9a3%3 TZID:Europe/Rome LOCATION:Department of Cognitive Sciences\, Psychology\, Education and Cultural Studies (COSPECS)\, Messina\, Italy DESCRIPTION:In the middle of the twentieth century\, Hannah Arendt published The Human Condition (1958)\, a work she had originally intended to title Amor Mundi\, as she later recalled. The reference to Augustine\, to whom she had devoted her early writings\, is explicit and enabled her to delineate\, from both an anthropological and political perspective\, the place of the human being within the worlds of nature and history.
\nSeveral decades later\, the question of the human condition continues to challenge us\, despite profound changes in cultural\, scientific\, and historical contexts. This conference forms part of the research project For a Culture of Care: A Response to the Anthropological Crisis (https://www.pusc.it/research-project/care) and seeks to further explore this perspective.
\nThe focus of our reflection concerns the dual condition of human existence\, suspended between two poles: on the one hand\, its greatness\, expressed in freedom and in the pursuit of justice and the good\; on the other\, its fragility\, rooted in its constitutive finitude. Against this background\, alongside the need for a renewed culture of care\, stands the universal experience of pain and suffering.
\nPain and suffering are\, indeed\, deeply personal experiences\, seemingly impossible to communicate in their entirety and therefore often confined to the inner and private sphere. Yet they are continually spoken of\, within the complex interplay between lived experience and language\, between singularity and interpretation\, thereby opening one&rsquo\;s wounded world to the gaze of others.
\nThe particular and the universal thus appear here in an exemplary way\, making room for the many dimensions of language: from metaphor to broken speech\, from the cry of despair to anguished silence\, all in an attempt to overcome the abyss of loneliness that surrounds every existence tested by limit situations. Pain and suffering seem capable of becoming a trial and a judgment of the very meaning of existence.
\nWhile rituals and religions\, together with their symbols and myths\, seek to provide a vocabulary of evil and suffering\, aimed at understanding these experiences within a broader horizon of salvation\, philosophy is called upon to overcome the asymmetry between experience and communication. It does so by exploring the relationship between personal experience and its interpretation\, opening new spaces for human relations. The crucial question is therefore how to envision renewed forms of relationship marked by proximity and compassion\, solidarity and shared vulnerability.
\nAt this point\, a variety of scientific disciplines also come into play\, including psychology\, cognitive science\, sociology\, education\, medicine\, and law. Law\, in particular\, is an essential instrument for developing sound healthcare policies capable of alleviating the burden of both personal and social trauma.
\nAgainst social and cultural dynamics that wound contemporary humanity and seek to shield individuals from any genuine confrontation with suffering\, except in isolation\, stands the commitment of philosophers and scientists who strive to develop new anthropological and ethical frameworks capable of fostering a renewed culture of care.
