INTRODUCTION TO METAPHYSICS
\nPROGRAM
\nThis course aims at investigating a series of metaphysical concepts through the analysis of some of the most important philosophical treatises in the history of Western thought. Students will develop adequate critical and analytical skills by reading philosophical and interdisciplinary texts on topics such as being\, causation\, freedom and determinism\, God\, idealism and realism\, mind and body\, philosophy\, and universals and particulars. Furthermore\, students will learn to orient themselves in thinking by addressing a series of questions\, including: What is philosophy? What does it mean to think? Do humans have free will?  \;

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 are welcome. We also welcome developments of extant theories in application to the new data or previously neglected phenomena.
\nThe network's coordinators are Isidora Stojanovic (Institut Jean Nicod/CNRS) &\; Dan Zeman (Slovak Academy of Sciences/University of Warsaw). More information about the network and its activities can be found at \;https://sites.google.com/view/stalnetwork.
\nWe organize a regular monthy SEMINAR (see details under the "Seminar" section of the website) and an annual WORKSHOP (see details under the "Workshops" section of the website.
\nIMPORTANT: We are currently accepting new members! To become a member of STAL\, please send an email to both coordinators with a short description of your work in the area and your motivation for joining the network.

For example\, presentations might discuss (but are not limited to): the epistemology of inquiry\, the metaphysics of inquiry\, ethical norms of inquiry\, historical perspectives on inquiry\, or the structure of scientific inquiry.
We aim to foster the sharing of ideas in an inclusive\, welcoming and low-pressure environment. Papers that are already accepted for publication will not be accepted. We aim to be sensitive to the needs of early-career scholars.
The group meets biweekly on Zoom during each of the Fall and Spring semesters. Meeting times are determined shortly before the beginning of each semester with the goal of finding a time that works for as many members as possible. Special consideration is given to finding a meeting time that works for presenters of accepted papers.

\nUniversité\; Cô\;te d&rsquo\;Azur\, Nice\,
\nDate: 18-19 June 2024
\n \;Events (in the broad sense) play a fundamental role in our interaction with the word: actions\, events\, processes\, states are crucial components of the reality as we represent it. Research on events comprises disciplines as diverse as natural language semantics\, the syntax-semantic interface\, analytic metaphysics\, applied ontology and conceptual modeling.
\nEvents have come to play a central role in natural language since Davidson&rsquo\;s highly influential proposal and has to a great range of developments including\, in its Neo-Davidsonian version in the syntax-semantic interface. There are a range of challenges to its have received little attention\, such as the distinction between events and acts\, events and abstract states\, events and situations (as truthmakers). Moroever there are alternatives to Davidsonian events semantics that have been proposed\, but ask for further developments\, such as truthmaker semantics\, force semantics and radical decomposition of verbs in syntax. Finally\, there are a great range of interesting issues regarding events and syntatcic structure\, including the decomposition of event predicates in syntactic structure and the relevance of cartography for event semantics. \;
\nRecently\, also the metaphysics of events have seen renewed interest. Several issues have been addressed such as that concerning nature of\, and the internal structure of\, processes and events\, the related issue that concerns the modal profile and the essential properties of events (and whether these features differ from the ones possessed by processes)\, the question of whether a theory concerning these entities has a descriptive or prescriptive import\, as well as the issue concerning the relations between events\, dispositions\, and causation\, and that concerning the nature of negative events and actions.
\nFinally\, the notion of event is pervasive and play a key role in applied ontology and conceptual modeling. It is a general category of the most widespread foundational ontologies such as UFO\, DOLCE\, and BFO. On the one hand\, these ontologies recently provided insightful accounts concerning the nature of events\, their part-whole structure\, and their difference from\, e.g.\, situations\, states\, and processes. On the other hand\, the notion of events played a key role in elucidating notions such as those of prevention\, risk\, production\, money\, and many others.
\nThis workshop aims to bring together new research on events from the different perspectives.
\nSubmission: If you want to contribute\, please submit an abstract of approximately 1000 words suitable for a 30-minutes presentation that should be prepared for blind review and include a cover page with the full name\, institution\, and contact information.

Penelope Mackie (1953-2022) was a long-time member and former Head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham. Her philosophical contributions span the areas of (1) essence\, modality\, identity\; (2) philosophy of mind\; (3) causation and counterfactuals\; and (4) free will and determinism. A superbly perceptive critic\, Penelope is best known for her 2006 book How Things Might Have Been in which she argued that our essential properties place little constraint on what we could have been. Hence\, you could have been a poached egg. Her most recent work provides invigorating contributions to debates about neo-Aristotelian essentialism (in constructive opposition to the work of Kit Fine)\, Transworld identity\, persistence\, and the nature of perceptual experience. \; \;
\nThis conference will celebrate Penelope&rsquo\;s life and work. \;
\nPenelope had an immense influence on generations of students. To celebrate this\, we would like to include papers by current and recent PhD students (by 'recent' we mean less than 2-years post graduation). If you would like to be included in the programme\, please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words (for a paper that can be presented in 20 minutes) to Neil Sinclair (neil.sinclair@nottingham.ac.uk) by 30th March 2024. \;
\nYour paper must engage with some aspect of Penelope's work\, and can fall under any of the four topics noted above. This call is open to all current and recent PhD students. \;
\n(The conference has some limited funds to pay for UK-based travel and accommodation\, and an option to present online will be available.)

\nMcMaster University
\n25-27 October 2024
\nSubmission deadline: 30 March 2024
\nNotification of acceptance: 6 April 2024
\nThis workshop highlights \;the subject of women and epistemic emotions &ndash\; emotions which either aid us in knowing or are themselves instances of knowledge &ndash\; in the early modern period. Paradigm examples of epistemic emotions include doubt and curiosity\, though other emotions such as love or fear may also play important epistemic roles. \;Thus\, an epistemic emotion is one that plays a causal role in driving our efforts to know something\, or in the critical reflection and revision of what it is that we know.
\nThough the ongoing recovery and reintegration project is robustly underway\, early modern women and epistemic emotions have been largely overlooked. This workshop is an effort to create and disseminate new knowledge and interpretive tools. As such\, we intend to publish revised versions of the papers presented at this workshop in an edited volume. \;
\nThe workshop features two keynote speakers &ndash\; Martina Reuter (Jyvä\;skylä\;) and Lisa Shapiro (McGill) &ndash\; and invited papers from Marcy Lascano (KU)\, Anik Waldow (Sydney)\, Getty Lustila (Northeastern)\, Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Emory)\, Allauren Samantha Forbes (McMaster)\, Elena Gordon (McGill-Jyvä\;skylä\;)\, and Manuel Vasquez Villavicencio (McMaster). \;
\nWe have held four speaking slots open and so are inviting submissions of anonymized abstracts \;between 500-750 words. \;We are especially interested in receiving abstracts from \;early-career or emerging scholars \;(e.g.\, advanced PhD students\, CLAs/Adjuncts\, Assistant Professors) and \;contributions which highlight women philosophers&rsquo\; &ldquo\;non-traditional&rdquo\; philosophical texts \;&ndash\; e.g.\, letters\, plays\, and novels. Please also include a coversheet with name\, position\, paper title\, and affiliation. Submissions should be sent as pdf files to Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca. Receipt of submission will be confirmed by email\; notification of acceptance will go out by 6 April 2024.
\n \;We will be able to offer some financial support to these four speakers: we will cover their 3-night hotel stay and will be able to offer a small stipend toward their travel expenses. We will also be providing a mentoring luncheon which pairs early-career and established scholar speakers. As such\, drafts of the full paper to be included in the edited volume emerging from this conference will be due to the organizers for distribution to the mentors by 25 September 2024. We will also host a conference dinner for all speakers on 26 October 2024. \;
\nWhile our venues are accessible and we can accommodate dietary needs\, please contact Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca \;with any specific questions on these matters.

\nfor a topical issue of Open Philosophy
\nTOWARDS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN OBJECT-ORIENTED ONTOLOGY (OOO) AND SCIENCE
\n\n\nOpen Philosophy (https://www.degruyter.com/opphil) invites submissions for the topical issue "Towards a Dialogue Between Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) and Science\," edited by Adrian Razvan Sandru (Champalimaud Research\, Portugal)\, Zach Mainen (Champalimaud Research\, Portugal) and Federica Maria Gonzalez Luna Ortiz (Tuebingen University\, Germany).
\n\n\nDESCRIPTION
\n\nWhile Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) has received much attention across diverse fields\, it has remained somewhat overlooked in scientific discourse. The aim of this issue is to bring Graham Harman&rsquo\;s OOO into dialogue with contemporary perspectives on and from science. By doing so\, we hope to bring to light novel dimensions of both OOO and scientific inquiry. We encourage interdisciplinary participation from a broad range of disciplines.
\n&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;Graham Harman&rsquo\;s Object-Oriented Ontology proposes that knowledge comes in three forms: undermining (downward reduction to an underlying reality)\, overmining (upward reduction to a grounding system)\, and their combination in duomining (simultaneous reductions in both directions). Within this general framework\, Harman makes a finer distinction between two styles of knowing that may inform a critical analysis of science\, its practices\, and narratives from a novel perspective. On one side\, Harman speaks of a literal style of knowing that takes phenomena to be the sum of their features as they appear to us. On the other side\, he describes a metaphorical one that hints at the infinite interiority of objects and brings about the awareness that there is always more to them than meets the eye. Harman argues that literalism is the mode by which science knows things\, while the way that art and aesthetics approach objects is instead metaphorical. In contrast to literalism\, which\, according to OOO\, ignores the tension between how an object appears in relation to other objects and what an object is\, &ldquo\;the metaphor seems to give us the thing in its autonomy from the other things to which it relates" (Harman\, 2018). In Harman&rsquo\;s reading\, the metaphor suspends the sensuality of the object and alludes to its real core.
\n\n \;  \;  \;This topical issue will explore whether Harman&rsquo\;s assessment of science&rsquo\;s method is apt and whether a dialogue between the two ways of knowing might benefit the endeavors of both aesthetic and scientific inquiry. This dialogue may prove to be a fruitful and timely opportunity for both science and philosophy to make sense of novel phenomena such as global pandemics\, climate change\, or the advent of artificial intelligence\, all of which pose challenges to classically rationalistic or subject-centric scientific and philosophical systems.
\n\n\nContributions may address\, for instance\, the following topics:
\n- Literalism
\n- The concept of metaphor in OOO and related frameworks
\n- Real and sensual objects and qualities
\n- Interactions and relationality in Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO)
\n- Cognition and the role of the subject in OOO
\n- Alternate ways of knowing (art\, architecture\, literature\, film\, etc.) in OOO
\n- Science and OOO
\n- Political\, ethical\, and social dimensions of flat ontologies

\nTHE HUMAN BEING AND TIME: FROM KANT TO EXISTENTIALISM
\n(second call)
\nOpen Philosophy \;(https://www.degruyter.com/opphil) invites submissions for the topical issue "The Human Being and Time: From Kant to Existentialism"\, edited by Addison Ellis (The American University in Cairo). \;
\n \;
\nDESCRIPTION \;
\n\nIt is uncontroversial to say that one of the most significant topics in the history of philosophy is the relation between the human being and time. This theme takes center stage especially in the Kantian and Post-Kantian tradition (the latter including especially German idealism and existentialism). The connection between being human and being inside or outside time \;is not only a pervasive theme across these periods\, but one that is non-accidentally shared in a continuous historical thread from Kant\, Fichte\, Schelling\, Hegel\, Husserl\, Heidegger\, Sartre\, up to the present day. For all these figures\, it is essential that we understand the link between (for instance) time and experience\, time and freedom\, time and morality (or evil)\, time and the limits of human nature\, and time and ontology itself. \;
\nAnd yet\, there are many important questions in this arena that have long been woefully out of focus in academic philosophy. Within Kant scholarship alone\, it is an under-explored question how we should understand the different functions of the representation of time (what\, for instance\, is the &lsquo\;timelessness&rsquo\; of freedom when the exercise of freedom is inextricably linked with a time? Or\, what is the relation between time as an empty form of intuition [a kind of &lsquo\;nothing&rsquo\; according to Kant!] and the form of thought\, given that thought appears to be essentially &lsquo\;tensed&rsquo\; and yet stands outside of the merely &lsquo\;given&rsquo\; forms of sensibility?). But between Kant and post-Kantian figures\, the questions multiply. \;
\nWhile there has been scattered attention across the decades\, very little has been written on the following questions: \;
\nPapers addressing the above topics would be especially welcome\, though these are merely examples of what a suitable submission may look like. \;

The dispute between naturalism and anti-naturalism has been underway almost since the very beginnings of philosophy. Christian thinkers\, by proclaiming that God as Creator transcends the reality He has created\, and that human beings as persons transcend the material world\, have entered this dispute on the anti-naturalist side. The contemporary dominance in culture of the naturalistic paradigm requires Christian philosophy to reflect on naturalism in the broadest sense (in its various forms)\, together with its conditions and consequences\, and to rethink its relationship to this philosophical tradition. Naturalism rejects the possibility of something existing\, being known\, or being explained that is separate from the material reality given in empirical cognition. Along with this\, it denies human beings transcendence with respect to the natural or social world. In its contemporary iteration\, this tradition appeals to the solutions and methods of domain-specific forms of scientific inquiry\, relying on them for its own authority.
\nFor Christian philosophy\, naturalism represents a powerful challenge. It is possible to see in it a threat to Christian philosophy\, but it is also possible to discern in it an opportunity for a more critical evaluation of Christian philosophy&rsquo\;s previous solutions\, and an opportunity to develop new ones. There is a need for a better understanding of naturalism itself\, as well as of what the various domain-specific sciences (including the natural and social sciences\, as well as the humanities and\, currently\, neuroscientific research in particular) have to say about the world and about human beings. Systematic and historico-philosophical questions equally still call for debate&mdash\;in relation to the centuries-old dispute between naturalism and anti-naturalism\, as well as the changing place of Christian thought within it. In our own time\, one can witness diverse attempts by Christian thinkers both to critically discuss naturalistic positions and to implement naturalistic approaches or solutions within Christian thought itself. Certainly\, the latter cannot ignore the fact that naturalism allows philosophy to maintain cognitive contact with domain specific forms of scientific inquiry.

The workshop\, organized by The Institute of Philosophy\, Czech Academy of Sciences (www.flu.cas.cz)\, will focus on the topics of phenomenal consciousness\, access consciousness\, and self-consciousness. Our keynote speakers will be:
 \;  \;- Ned Block (NYU)
 \;  \;- Martine Nida-Rü\;melin (Université\; de Fribourg)
The apparent existence of phenomenal consciousness\, the property due to which \;there is something it&rsquo\;s like \;for an organism to be in mental and physical states has attracted much philosophical and scientific attention. Our workshop will aim to contribute to a better understanding of phenomenal consciousness by focusing on the relation between phenomenal states and one&rsquo\;s (conceptual) access to them\, on the nature\, the scope and the forms of self-consciousness that might be inherent to phenomenal consciousness\, on the relation between phenomenal consciousness and (introspective) attention\, and other related topics.
The questions examined at the workshop will include:
 \;  \;- What is the relation between phenomenal consciousness and access consciousness? Could there be one without the other?
 \;  \;- Do phenomenal states necessarily involve one&rsquo\;s awareness of these states? If so\, what is the nature and scope of this (self-)awareness?
 \;  \;- How plausible is the &lsquo\;phenomenal overflow&rsquo\; thesis?
 \;  \;- Does an adequate understanding of phenomenal consciousness or self-consciousness commit one to positing subjects in any strong sense?
 \;  \;- Can phenomenal consciousness or self-consciousness be accounted for in representationalist terms?
 \;  \;- Can phenomenal consciousness\, access consciousness and self-consciousness be reductively explained?
 \;  \;- What are the neural correlates of phenomenal consciousness\, access consciousness and self-consciousness?
 \;  \;- What significance do considerations about one's awareness of (or access to) phenomenal consciousness have for anti-physicalist arguments?
 \;  \;- What significance do the so called \;&lsquo\;change blindness&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;inattentional blindness&rsquo\; cases have for issues about access consciousness and self-consciousness? How are these cases best interpreted?
 \;  \;- How is access consciousness best construed? Does it qualify as a genuine form of consciousness?
 \;  \;- How is (introspective) attention to phenomenal consciousness best understood? How reliable is it? \;
Presentations on other\, closely related topics\, relevant to the research interests of our keynote speakers\, are also welcome. The workshop is discussion-oriented and contributed papers are given larger time slots\, up to 45 minutes per presentation (including discussion). \;
If you&rsquo\;re interested in participating in this \;in-person \;workshop\, please send an anonymized \;300-word abstract \;of your paper to \;emw@flu.cas.cz \;by \;March 31\, 2024. (This e-mail address can also be used for enquiries regarding the workshop).

\n\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe live in a world riddled with epistemic wrongs\, from the incidental put down of a marginal voice to the systematic extinction of whole knowledge systems and the continued epistemic disempowerment of whole populations through colonialism and racism. This event brings into dialogue philosophers and community members in order to theorise \;reparations for such distinctively epistemic wrongs (20th \;June)\, and \;start on actual reparative work in the context of post-Apartheid South Africa (21st \;and 22nd \;June).
\nEpistemic reparations are &ldquo\;intentionally reparative actions in the form of epistemic goods given to those epistemically wronged by parties who acknowledge these wrongs and whose reparative actions are intended to redress them&rdquo\; (Lackey 2022\, Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association). The paradigm of such reparations is when victims of gross human rights violations exercise their &lsquo\;right to be known&rsquo\;­\;&mdash\;the right to tell their story in the way and the space they choose\, with the corresponding duty perpetrators have to \;bear witness. Two days of the event will\, thus\, feature apartheid activists\, their children and grandchildren telling their stories through talks\, discussion\, and art.
\nWe invite abstracts from philosophers for the first day of this event.

\nThis event is a part of the Epistemic Reparations Global Working Group \;supported by the Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University.

\nCall for Abstracts
\nRecently emotions have re-emerged as a topic of great scientific and philosophical interest. Psychologists\, cognitive scientists\, neuroscientists\, philosophers and linguists have engaged in inter- and intra-disciplinary debates concerning the ontology and phenomenology of emotions\, the epistemic and cognitive dimensions of emotions\, the role that our bodies play in the experience and constitution of emotions\, the physiological\, mental or cultural nature of emotions\, the cultural specificity of emotions\, to name just a few.
\nThese issues\, however\, have been treated quite differently\, either from a first-person or from a third-person approach to emotions and affectivity\, and either from a universalist-psychophysiological\, or a relativistic-cultural view of emotions and feelings.
\nThe aim of this conference is to analyze the affective and emotional dimensions of human experience from an interdisciplinary perspective\, especially in philosophy\, psychology and linguistics\, and to contribute to broadening contemporary debates and shed light on the pivotal role of affectivity and emotion in human being and becoming.
\nWe invite contributions from disciplines concerned with the topic\, including both theoretical and applied perspectives: cognitive science\, neuroscience\, social\, cultural\, clinical\, and developmental psychology\, psychophysiology\, psychiatry\, philosophy of mind\, phenomenology\, cognitive linguistics\, anthropology\, cultural studies\, history\, computer science.
\nSuggested topics include (but are not restricted to):
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Cognitive processes and emotions: attention\, memory\, learning\, motivation\, judgments\, and decision-making
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; The role of cultural determinants in emotion elicitation\, regulation and expression: how culture influences cognition
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; 4E and post-cognitivist approaches to emotion and affectivity
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Sociocultural variability of emotions
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Cross-cultural and cross-linguistic differences in emotions
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; The history of emotions
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Affectivity as a key component of habits
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; The phenomenology of human experience\, affectivity and intersubjectivity
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; The interplay between cognition\, culture and emotion in social behavior\, health-related behavior\, and psychopathology
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Embodied accounts of affectivity in post-cognitivist cognitive science
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Emotional intelligence and education\, social and emotional competence\, social and emotional health
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Emotion in language (lexicon and grammar\, language acquisition and change)
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; The conceptualization of emotions and components of emotion concepts
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Figurativity (metaphor\, metonymy\, irony\, etc.) in the conceptualization of emotions
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Developmental aspects of language and emotion
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Emotion in applied linguistics: language teaching\, intercultural communication\, advertisement\, psychotherapy
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Affectivity\, emotion and mirror neurons
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Emotion in the interaction between humans and artificial agents
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Emotions as enhancers or inhibitors in situated action: empathy\, ethics\, politics
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; The epistemic value of emotions: how knowledge is modulated by affectivity
\n·\;  \;  \;  \;  \; Affectivity\, sexuality and gendered emotional experience

Dear Colleagues\,
\nThis Special Issue explores how Thomas Aquinas and the Thomists from different ages related their thought to the natural and cognitive sciences\, both from a systematic and an historical perspective. What can contemporary theology\, philosophy\, and science and religion\, as well as the history of these disciplines\, gain from an engagement with the thought of Thomas Aquinas and his appropriation and integration of\, and perspectives on\, the natural and cognitive sciences? Additionally\, how did Thomists in later centuries live up to this challenge? What is the status quo of Aquinas scholarship and Thomistic contributions on science and theology\, or more recently science-engaged theology\, today? Contributions to historical and systematic scholarship are welcome. The subject matter of the submitted work may pertain to a broad spectrum of disciplines\, including history\, philosophy\, theology\, religious studies\, science-engaged theology\, and science and religion.

\nWe are pleased to announce the opening of the submission period for thethird issue of the International Journal of Environmental Epistemology\,"Cosmotheoros". This monographic issue will focus on the myriad andchanging ways in which nature has been present in artistic disciplines throughout human history. From this point of view\, the specific criteria of content selection will be guided by the broadest possible overview\, so that the art-nature binomial will not be elaborated exclusively through the performing and visual arts (traditional and contemporary). but also through music\, architecture\, sculpture or even poetry and literature. Although both concepts (that of "art" and that of "nature")\, due to their inherent multivocality\, do not adhere to a closed definition and are rather the subject of controversial disputes\, the focus of this issue is based on the idea that nature\, understood as a primordial motif of representation from an artistic perspective\, is intimately related to that essential anthropological condition of human activity through which meaning is given to the world (whether from a ritual\, magical\, religious\, aesthetic\, philosophical\, metaphysical\, moral or socio-political point of view). According to this approach\, it is not by chance that this profound articulation has been interpreted through the horizon of the aspirations that have been urged in each historical period: first as a source of inspiration\, later as a source of oblivion and distance\, to end up\, in our most immediate contemporaneity\, as a pressing need. . But not only that. In this complex and at the same time fascinating game of correspondences\, connections\, influences and concomitances\, there are those\, like Philippe Descola\, who propose a par-delà\;\, perhaps utopian and dreamlike\, in which all discontinuities and contrasts are eliminated.
\nIn the same way\, art\, in its various expressions\, currents\, trends and approaches\, has traditionally been one of the most important strategic ways of attributing and disseminating values in relation to natural reality\, and thus an elementary reference point from which\, in each specific period of history\, the character of man's relationship with the cosmos has been determined. In this way\, artistic representation metabolizes\, incorporates\, "introjects" the radical otherness of the external world into the personal inner horizon\, through continuous metaphors\, symbols\, allegories\, perceptual states\, hidden narratives\, sensory guides or emotional environments. This is why Joseph Campbell\, for example\, sees the path of the mystic and that of the artist as very similar\, in that they seek to bring out the most veiled and profound aspects of the mysterious in the field of comprehensive intuition. This connection ultimately brings the theme of this issue closer to the approaches of Friedrich Nietzsche (or with his variants of Friedrich W. J. Schelling or J. W. Goethe) to the thesis that art is somehow the task of life in its most metaphysical aspect and therefore has its origin in nature itself (as a creative and productive force).
\nThe International Journal of Environmental Epistemology "Cosmotheoros" invites submissions for this special issue dedicated to nature from the perspective of art\, including philosophical\, scientific\, aesthetic\, historical\, symbolic\, psychological\, anthropological\, mythical-religious\, sociological\, etc. Below are some possible topics (although they are not a limitation):
\nArt as a mirror of nature: the way nature has been interpreted through different historical periods\, artistic contexts and individual works of art.
\nArtistic disciplines as a mechanism for assigning value to nature.
\nNature under the aesthetic domain. Art as a system for controlling and domesticating nature.
\nThe sublime and the terrifying in nature from the artistic work.
\nNature subjected to artistic representation: allegories\, metaphors\, symbols\, illustrations\, emblems\, etc.
\nBeyond reality. Imagined natures and other worlds from artistic practice.
\nArt as a hinge. Aesthetic modulations in the relationship between man and nature.
\nThe universe through artistic optics.
\nArt and the development of the life sciences. When art and science meet.
\nHybrid spaces between artistic practices and techno-science. Nature as creative matter.
\nThe role of art in philosophical debates and controversies about nature.

Tenemos el placer de anunciar la apertura del plazo para presentar artí\;culos orientados al tercer nú\;mero de la Revista Internacional de Epistemologí\;a Ambiental\, «\;Cosmotheoros»\;. En este nú\;mero monográ\;fico se profundizará\; en las innumerables y cambiantes formas en que la naturaleza\, a lo largo de la historia del ser humano\, se ha encontrado presente en las disciplinas artí\;sticas. Desde ese punto de vista\, los criterios especí\;ficos de selecció\;n de contenidos se guiará\;n por una panorá\;mica lo má\;s amplia posible\, de tal modo que no se abundará\; en el binomio arte-naturaleza exclusivamente a travé\;s de las artes escé\;nicas y visuales (tradicionales y contemporá\;neas)\, sino tambié\;n desde la mú\;sica\, la arquitectura\, la escultura o incluso desde la poesí\;a o la literatura. Aunque ambos conceptos (el de «\;arte»\; y «\;naturaleza»\;)\, debido a su multivocidad inherente\, no se atienen a una definició\;n cerrada y se encuentran\, má\;s bien\, sujetas a controvertidas disputas\, el foco de atenció\;n de este nú\;mero parte de la idea de que la naturaleza\, entendida como un motivo de representació\;n primordial bajo la perspectiva artí\;stica\, se relaciona de forma í\;ntima con aquella condició\;n antropoló\;gica esencial de la actividad humana por el que se otorga sentido al mundo (ya sea desde una ó\;ptica ritual\, má\;gica\, religiosa\, esté\;tica\, filosó\;fica\, metafí\;sica\, moral o sociopolí\;tica). Bajo este enfoque\, no es casual que se haya interpretado esta articulació\;n profunda a travé\;s del horizonte de pretensiones exhortado en cada periodo histó\;rico: primero como fuente de inspiració\;n\, posteriormente como olvido y distanciamiento para terminar siendo\, en nuestra má\;s inmediata contemporaneidad\, una acuciante necesidad. No só\;lo eso. En este juego alambicado\, y al mismo tiempo fascinante\, de correspondencias\, ví\;nculos\, influjos y concomitancias hay quienes\, como Philippe Descola\, proponen un má\;s allá\; (par-delà\;)\, tal vez utó\;pico y ensoñ\;ado\, en el que se diluya toda discontinuidad y contraste.
\nAsimismo\, el arte\, en sus diferentes expresiones\, corrientes\, tendencias y aproximaciones\, ha sido tradicionalmente una de las ví\;as estraté\;gicas má\;s destacadas de atribució\;n y difusió\;n de valores respecto a la realidad natural y\, por lo tanto\, una referencia elemental desde la que se ha determinado\, en cada periodo concreto de la historia\, el cará\;cter de la relació\;n del hombre con el cosmos. De esta forma\, la representació\;n artí\;stica\, a travé\;s de metá\;foras continuas\, sí\;mbolos\, alegorí\;as\, estados perceptivos\, narrativas subrepticias\, guí\;as sensoriales o ambientes aní\;micos\, metaboliza\, incorpora\, «\;introyecta»\; en el horizonte interno personal la radical otredad del mundo exterior. De ahí\; que Joseph Campbell\, por ejemplo\, vislumbre en la ví\;a del mí\;stico y del artista sendas muy parecidas\, en la medida en que tratan de hacer aflorar en el terreno de la intuició\;n comprensiva los aspectos má\;s velados y profundos de lo misterioso. Este ví\;nculo aproxima\, en ú\;ltima instancia\, la temá\;tica a tratar en este nú\;mero con los planteamientos de Friedrich Nietzsche (o con sus variantes de Friedrich W. J. Schelling o de J. W. Goethe) en torno a la tesis de que el arte\, de alguna manera\, es la tarea propia de la vida en su vertiente má\;s metafí\;sica y\, por tanto\, tiene su origen en la naturaleza misma (en tanto que fuerza creadora y productiva).
\nLa Revista Internacional de Epistemologí\;a Ambiental «\;Cosmotheoros»\; invita a enviar presentaciones para este nú\;mero especial dedicado la naturaleza desde la perspectiva del arte\, donde se abarquen abordajes filosó\;ficos\, cientí\;ficos\, esté\;ticos\, histó\;ricos\, simbó\;licos\, psicoló\;gicos\, antropoló\;gicos\, mí\;tico-religiosos\, socioló\;gicos\, etc. \; A continuació\;n compartimos algunos temas posibles (aunque no son una limitante):

\nRationale for the Conference \;
\nTechnological innovation and change have been a perennial component of human life since its inception. In many ways\, technology is one of the defining features of any society in history. Innovations like the printing press\, penicillin\, and the internal combustion engine forever altered the communities where they emerged. It is possible to say that these technological innovations destroyed one world and created a new one in its place. \;
\nWe are living through an age of radical change and evolution via the emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. These technologies are very new\, and in many ways the implications and consequences of these new systems are nebulous and unclear. Of course\, we as human beings have some say in how AI comes into our world. How should machine learning systems be used in our society? Are there responsible and irresponsible uses of this technology? How should make these sorts of decisions? What implications do these systems have for our very understanding of the universe? What kind of knowledge can we use the machine to pursue? Are there limits to what we can learn from or with these devices? \;
\nThis conference aims to bring together top scholars from philosophy\, the humanities\, and the sciences for an interdisciplinary discussion that focuses on the epistemological and ethical dimensions of AI. Speakers will cover foundational questions related to uses of machine learning and immerging technologies as well as how these more basic questions relate to specific fields\, topics\, or policy debates. The philosophy department\, in conjunction with a number of other departments\, to provide two days of invited speakers and immerging scholars from philosophy\, data science\, and the broader humanities. \;

WAIT\, WHAT? A Graduate Conference on Nonsense and Category Mistakes \;
The Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy (WFAP) welcomes submissions of abstracts for its 13th annual graduate conference: \;Wait\, what?! A Graduate Conference on Nonsense. The conference will take place in hybrid format July 4 &ndash\; 6\, 2024.
\nConference Venue: \;Department of Philosophy\, University of Vienna\, Austria (hybrid)
Dates: \;July 4 &ndash\; 6\, 2024
Abstract Deadline: \;April 1\, 2024
Notification of Success: \;May 31\, 2024
Keynote Speakers:
Clare Mac Cumhaill (Durham) &\; Rachael Wiseman (Liverpool)
Ofra Magidor (Oxford)
Adrian Moore (Oxford)
Topic:
Nonsense is a kind of a failure of engaging in rational discourse that seems more fundamental than saying a mere falsehood &mdash\; to utter nonsense is to have failed to say anything at all. This year&rsquo\;s WFAP graduate conference aims to bring together early career and advanced researchers in order to discuss questions such as: How is an illusion of sense even possible? How can one distinguish nonsense from sense? How do different theories of meaning account for nonsense? Are there distinct kinds of nonsense\, e.g. gibberish\, category mistakes\, ambiguities etc.\, or are all cases of nonsense due to the same kind of transgression? What is nonsense&rsquo\;s role in philosophical theorizing\, both as a target of criticism and as an argumentative device? Does nonsense occur in ordinary discourse or is it a phenomenon that is particular to philosophical theorizing?
We welcome submissions on any topic related to our theme including but not limited to:
\nSubmission information:
\n&ndash\; Length: \;Maximum of 500 words\, suitable for a 25-30min presentation (45min including Q&\;A)

Third\, practitioners\, such as those working in de-radicalization programs\, counter-terrorism measures\, and resilience efforts. How do these different perspectives relate to one another and how do or should they interact with each other?  \;What does it mean to consider the &lsquo\;subjectivity&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;perspectives&rsquo\; of extremists\, conspiracy theorists\, fundamentalists\, fanatics\, or other sorts of &lsquo\;extreme&rsquo\; believers?

From debates in the New Zealand parliament concerning the value of Maori knowledge of nature\, to debates about racial and gender bias in medicine\, to the recent realization that the work of a Nobel prize winner was consistently rejected for falling outside scientific consensus\, it is clear that there are tensions inherent in Western society&rsquo\;s commitment to universal reason alongside epistemic diversity \; Aware of these tensions\, many historians of science have sought to recover the stories of non-standard science and to emphasize a diversity of ways of knowing the natural world. Moreover\, many philosophers of science have suggested that pluralism within science is not a matter of justice to diverse stakeholders but a generic feature of scientific reasoning. They claim that the pursuit of manifold\, perhaps even inconsistent\, research programs is the appropriate response to the complexity of target systems and the perspectival limitations of knowing. Scholars in science and religion have even begun to question the validity of &ldquo\;science&rdquo\; as a transhistorical monolithic category suggesting that it consists of a variety of traditions each with its own internal history and rationality. \;Each of these three strands considers the possibility and\, sometimes\, inevitability of a more pluralist science\, one that progresses along multiple paths rather than insisting on the closing down of alternatives. This conference seeks to bring these strands together to further investigate the historical and conceptual foundations of pluralist science as well as to evaluate its promises and risks in our globalist society. \;
\nWe are accepting submissions for twenty minute papers and for posters. We welcome contributions from history and philosophy of science\, theology and science\, science studies\, and adjacent disciplines. \;Abstracts should be approximately 250 words. A limited number of travel bursaries are available.
\nPossible questions include:
\nIs pluralism a permanent part of the scientific endeavor\, or is it merely a transitory feature of our current epistemic situation?
\nIs pluralism a desired feature of scientific theorizing\, or a roadblock to a final\, unified science? What risks does pluralism pose\, either epistemically or socially?
\nShould we value a \;diversity of perspectives at all? for epistemic or non-epistemic reasons? Instrumentally or for its own sake? \;
\nDo inconsistent models imply some form of epistemic relativism?
\nDoes a commitment to scientific pluralism imply that nature itself is pluralistic\, or merely that different ways of modeling nature represent different aspects of a univocal nature?
\nDo different cultural\, metaphysical\, and religious perspectives result in salient differences in the kinds of scientific knowledge that are possible?
\nIs science inherently secular? Is it culturally or metaphysically neutral? What are the implications of proposing a non-secular\, culturally situated science?
\nHow might disunity in science affect the way other disciplines engage with it? \;
\nHow should different ways of knowing nature be characterized with respect to one another and with respect to European\, empirical science? Do specific cases clarify this relationship?
\nDo our methods of historically investigating science by attending to particular cases lead to the conclusion that science is pluralistic or merely assume its pluralism from the start? \;
\nAre there aspects of science that we presume to be universal that are\, in fact\, culturally situated? \;
\nHow prevalent in the history of science is the Semmelweiss reflex\, whereby established scientific authorities reject new evidence or knowledge in favor of entrenched norms\, beliefs\, or practices? Does that prevalence vary by discipline\, region\, or period? Do specific cases of this reflex (or its absence) teach us something about how prone science is to unification? \;
\nAll talks will take place in person and there will be no online access to the talks. For more information about the schedule and locations\, please write to Prof. Christopher Gauker at: christopher.gauker@plus.ac.at.

The Metaphysics of Secondary Qualities
Humboldt-Universitä\;t zu Berlin\, 8-9 April 2024  \;
This workshop aims to explore the topic of the metaphysics of secondary qualities\, both historically and theoretically. It will ask questions about the existence and nature of sensory qualities: Do colors\, sounds\, etc. really exist? Are they dependent on us\, or are they mind-independent elements of the world around us? Are they primitive qualities? Are they relations\, dispositions\, or still something else? These questions were very much debated in late modern German-speaking philosophy and the discussions that found place there anticipate in several respects contemporary debates in analytic philosophy. The workshop will evaluate the theoretical relevance of these historical discussions by gathering scholars working on Kant and post-Kantian philosophy\, phenomenology\, and contemporary analytic philosophy.  \;  \;

Political epistemology has recently emerged as a progressive epistemological branch that spreads its focus out to the non-ideal world of factual political agents\, parties\, institutions\, and collective epistemic resources. Nonetheless\, it retained a parochial and myopic focus on the United States of America and the United Kingdom\, with sporadic excursions to Australia and Canada. The second edition of The European Face of Political Epistemology conference\, after the first has become an edited book\, seeks to assemble novel and progressive European thinkers about political epistemology.
\nOur topics of interest comprise political communicational methods\, political knowledge and ignorance\, multi-partisan politics\, political expertise and the role of topical experts in the political domain\, politicised epistemic injustice\, and non-ideal epistemology. European political phenomena must be sternly analysed\, evaluated\, and affixed with a tentative feasible solution. Our conference strives to be a locus of such analysis.
\nThis year&rsquo\;s keynote speakers are:
\n&bull\; Miranda Fricker (NYU)
\n&bull\; Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
\n&bull\; Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University)
\n&bull\; Michel Croce (University of Genoa)

Talk details:
Title: Rethinking Models of Disability and Developing Inclusive Institutions
Speaker: Alan Jurgens
Date: April 10th\, 2024 (Wednesday)
Time: \;8.30AM GMT/2:00PM India/ 7:30PM Wollongong
Platform: Online (Zoom link will be shared closer to the date)
Abstract:
Currently\, there are numerous competing models of disability that not only provide particular conceptions of the notion of &ldquo\;disability&rdquo\;\, but also offer different means for determining how disabilities impact individuals&rsquo\; wellbeing\, when a disability should be considered pathological or a disorder\, and set a theoretical basis for practical interventions to improve the wellbeing of disabled individuals. In this talk I will draw on autistic philosopher and neurodiversity proponent Robert Chapman&rsquo\;s (2021\; 2023) work to discuss how disability may be best understood by utilizing an ecological functional model where the focus is on the intersection and overlaps between relational contributions to collectives and group functioning with individual functionality. This presents an alternative to both social-relational models of disability advocated by other neurodiversity proponents and the orthodox medical model of disability\, which neurodiversity proponents often see as inherently pathological and stigmatizing. After presenting this alternative model\, I will then explore how the ecological functional model of disability is able to help inform how to develop inclusive environments for neurodivergent individuals\, such as universities. I&rsquo\;ll argue that developing inclusive universities requires not just collaboration with neurodivergent students and staff\, but also the creation of communities of practices where neurodivergent individuals are able to be leaders in creating the change they need.
About the Speaker:
Alan Jurgens is a philosopher specializing in the philosophy of psychology\, disability studies\, and neurodiversity. He holds a Ph.D. with a focus on enactive social cognition and an M.A. in philosophy with a specialization in phenomenology. He is a Research Officer at the University of Wollongong\, where he also convenes a Masters of Autism Teaching program.
Jurgens' research and teaching center on building the capacity of autistic and neurodivergent individuals\, and he applies philosophical approaches to develop inclusive practices in education and community settings. His work advocates for relational models of disability and challenges traditional perspectives on social cognition. For more details\, please visit his website at \;https://alanjurgens.com/.
Where is enactivism headed? What are some of the main problems and key issues researchers will need to take into account in order to maintain (or expand) its status as a revolutionary view of mind and cognition?
\nIn order to tackle these questions\, the Brazilian research group CLEA (Cognition\, Language\, Enactivism and Affectivity) is holding a series of online debates called &ldquo\;The Future of Enactivism&rdquo\;\, bringing fresh and critical perspectives to this research program. Each session will consist in a main presenter and a critical commentator. Members of the audience will also be able to ask questions and participate in the debate.
\nThe first event of the series is called &ldquo\;Enactivism: Utopian and Scientific&rdquo\; and will feature Russell Meyer (Chinese Academy of Sciences\, Institute of Philosophy) as the main presenter and Guilherme Sanches de Oliveira (TU Berlin) as critical commentator. It will be held online on Thursday\, April 10th\, at 8:30 AM Brasilia time (GMT-3). We invite everyone to participate by registering beforehand at cleafilosofia[at]gmail.com in order to receive the link.

Machine learning (ML)\, including large language models and other deep learning models\, are encroaching on nearly all our knowledge institutions. Ever more scientific fields&mdash\;from medical science to fundamental physics&mdash\;are turning to ML to solve long-standing problems or make new discoveries. At the same time\, ML is used across society to gain knowledge and information. DL models determine social-media newsfeeds\, aid governments and industry in detecting fraud\, and now ChatGPT has become integrated with Bing search and Quora.com answers. It is essential that we understand the potentials and challenges that come with using ML as a way of structuring all of our knowledge.
\nTogether with the Normative Philosophy of Science Lab at Utrecht University and Eindhoven University of Technology\, \;ML\, Explain Yourself! \;is the capstone conference for the Dutch Research Council Veni project: \;Explain yourself!? \;The scope of understanding and explanation from machine learning. \;The conference will bring together philosophers and computer science researchers to discuss issues in ML surrounding decision support\, scientific discovery\, generalization\, idealization\, reliability\, values\, trust\, and other areas in normative philosophy of science.
\nThe conference will be held on April 10-12\, 2024 at Utrecht University\, Netherlands Conference website: https://ephil.ai/event/conference-ml-explain-yourself/

Call for Abstracts
\nFirst Idealism Summit
\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, USA. April 12-13\, 2024.
\nThe First Idealism Summit will take place in Chapel Hill\, NC on April 12-13\, 2024. It is intended as a gathering for those who work on contemporary versions of idealism\, to present their work\, exchange ideas\, make connections\, and discuss idealism. This Call for Abstracts invites submissions of abstracts of papers to be presented at the Summit. Abstracts should not exceed 1000 words\, and should be emailed to \;idealismsummit@gmail.com \;They can be attached as pdf or docx document\, or they can be included in the body of the message. The deadline for submitting abstracts is \;January 15\, 2024. \;Notifications of acceptances will be sent out as soon as possible afterwards. A keynote address will be given by \;Michael Pelczar \;of the National University of Singapore. \;
\nTopics of suitable papers include any discussions of issues tied to contemporary idealism. These include\, but are not limited to arguments for or against particular forms of idealism\, critical discussions of contemporary versions of idealism\, presentations of new forms of idealism\, new applications of idealism\, and so on. It should be stressed that arguments against idealism are just as suitable to be presented as arguments in favor of idealism. Each speaker will have roughly 40 minutes to present their work\, followed by an extended discussion period.
\nIn much of the contemporary philosophical scene idealism is dealt with as a position that is mostly of historical interest\, and thus most of the work on idealism these days is focused on the study of historically significant idealists\, like Berkeley\, Kant\, Hegel\, and many others. The focus of the Idealism Summit is not on the work of historical figures\, but on the consideration of idealism as a topic in contemporary metaphysics\, the philosophy of mind\, ethics\, the philosophy of language\, and so on. Thus papers that are primarily scholarship on historical figures are not ideally suited for this conference\, although views or arguments inspired by historical figures are most welcome. \;
\nThe author of each accepted abstract will be hosted at a local hotel during the conference\, and they will be a guest at two conference dinners. However\, the budget does not allow for paying travel cost as well. Still\, this arrangement will hopefully make it financially possible for many philosophers to present their work. More information about this conference\, abstract submission\, and other ways to participate besides being a speaker can be found on the web site of the Idealism Network: \;idealismus.net \;For any questions\, please contact Thomas Hofweber at \;hofweber@unc.edu
