Organized by NTU's Foundations of Thermodynamics Group\, and co-organized with Miguel Ohnesorge (Boston University)\, the aim of the second Foundations of Thermodynamics Workshop is to seek and provide a conceptual history of equilibrium and static reasoning. Bringing together historians and philosophers of science\, we hope to have a clearer picture of the genealogy of equilibrium and static reasoning\, and its role in scientific theorizing. By tracing the idea from Archimedean mechanics\, to Newton and the post-Newtonians\, classical thermodynamics\, quantum mechanics\, general relativity\, contemporary quantum and gravitational physics\, biology\, and economics\, we hope to provide a deeper understanding of this distinctive mode of reasoning and explanation as it changes shape and texture throughout the history of science. \;
\nThose interested are invited to register for the workshop early\, as there are limited seats and catering available. \;The workshop follows a week of events to do with philosophy of science\, notably the Asian Philosophy of Science Association's inaugural meeting.

\nThe 2026 Online Symposium of the Network of Asian Environmental Philosophy
\nMud\, Islands and Ocean
\nDates: November 5 (Thu) - 6 (Fri)\, 2026 \; \; \; \; \; \; No conference fee\, participation is free.
\nMud\, islands and ocean are places of mixture and changes. Animals and people leave traces in the mud. The NAEP symposium 2026 dives into blue humanities and interrogates the fringes between worlds and aims to explore views in terms of fluidity and process. In the mud\, soil and water shift forms and transform. Boundaries are not clearly apparent. Environmental philosophy forces us to reconsider certain assumptions about clear boundaries delimiting and isolating things\, and mud invites us to this journey.
\nOceans can be places of both encounters and separations\, and \; islands can easily trigger narratives of isolation. Mud involves and interconnects lands and seas. Mud also hosts specific ecosystems and bridges the worlds of different species. But places of mixtures and changes can also be places of tensions\; the encounter between different worlds can unleash clashes about access and belonging. Many struggles about justice unfold in muddy waters.
\nThe NAEP 2026 Online Symposium welcomes contributions from scholars\, practitioners and stakeholders on a broad range of aspects within Asian worldviews\, including but not limited to:
\nSilt\, sand and shells\, changing materialities and temporalities
\nPhilosophies of microbiology and oceanology
\nSea-faring people\, slow living\, Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) and practices
\nJustice and radical approaches to transformation
\nMangroves and coastal ecosystems as protectors from climate change
\nSea level rise and the futures of islands
\nEcofeminism insights on water and birth
\nPhilosophical explorations about natural boundaries\, artificial delimitations\, holism and animism
\nWhale songs and artistic expressions (narratives\, artforms\, storytelling\, memory landscape&hellip\;) related to mud\, islands and ocean in Asian cultures
\nEarly- and mid-career scholars are especially encouraged to send proposals.
\nWe welcome abstracts for individual presentations\, panels\, online posters and workshop proposals. Please submit your 200-250 words abstract with your name\, affiliation and contact informationthrough this form\, by August 16th\, 2026 (or by email toasiaenviphilo@gmail.com).

\n2026 International Graduate Summer School
The Agents of Evolution
Time: \;August 17&ndash\;22\, 2026 (check-in on August 15&ndash\;16)
\nLocation: \;Macquarie University\, Sydney\, Australia
\nOrganizers:
\nSino-Australian Philosophy of Life Sciences Network (SAPoLSN)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; School of Humanities at Macquarie University (Pierrick Bourrat)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; Department of Philosophy at Peking University (Qiaoying Lu) \;
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; School of Philosophy at Fudan University (Mingjun Zhang)
\nInstructors:
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; Elisabeth A. Lloyd (Department of History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine\, Indiana University\, Bloomington\, USA)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; Alex Rosenberg (Department of Philosophy\, Duke University\, Durham\, USA)
\nA number of other instructors will participate in the summer school\, including Paul Griffiths (University of Sydney and Macquarie University)\, Matthew Sims (Macquarie University)\, Peter Takacs (Macquarie University)\, and Cristina Villegas (Konrad Lorenz Institute).
\nAbout the Summer School
\nThis summer school is a yearly event sponsored and organized by the Sino-Australian Philosophy of Life Sciences Network (SAPoLSN)\, which was initiated by the Philosophy Discipline within the School of Humanities at Macquarie University\, the Department of Philosophy at Peking University\, and the School of Philosophy at Fudan University. Its purpose is to introduce the most important recent developments in the philosophy of life sciences to graduate students and young scholars\, to promote research and educational cooperation between Chinese and international philosophers of science\, and to promote collaboration between the philosophy of life sciences and the sciences. The first two SAPoLSN Summer Schools were successfully held at Peking University in Beijing in summer 2024 and at Fudan University in Shanghai in summer 2025.
\nThis year&rsquo\;s summer school will be held from August 17&ndash\;22\, 2026\, and will be hosted by the \; Macquarie Minds and Intelligences Research Centre (headed by Andrew Barron) and the School of Humanities at Macquarie University. The theme is:
\nThe Agents of Evolution
\nOne of the greatest achievements of Darwinian theory was to show how the appearance of design in nature can be explained without invoking agency. In particular\, by grounding adaptation in variation\, differential reproduction\, and heredity\, Darwinian explanations replace intention with a process that is blind to ends. Yet it would be a mistake to conclude that evolutionary theory thereby eliminates agency from its conceptual repertoire altogether. Even when organisms are not treated as literal agents\, evolutionary reasoning continues to rely on notions that are naturally read in agential or quasi-agential terms: we speak of strategies\, signals\, conflicts\, cooperation\, and\, more abstractly\, of entities occupying functional and causal roles within evolutionary explanations. In this summer school\, we will examine when\, why\, and in what sense agency re-enters evolutionary theorizing\, including the explanatory payoffs and risks of agential language in evolution.
\nIn addition to traditional lectures\, this summer school will involve diverse activities\, including but not limited to interviews with invited scholars\, academic development panels\, brainstorming sessions (e.g.\, for identifying PhD thesis topics)\, group presentations\, organized dinners\, and (fun!) excursions. Students will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from world-famous philosophers in person\, as well as to communicate and cooperate with their peers in depth. Following the summer school\, Macquarie University will host an international workshop on the same theme from August 24&ndash\;25\, which students are warmly encouraged to attend.
\nRegistration
\nRegistration is required for all students who want to participate in the summer school. However\, registration does not guarantee enrollment in this summer school. Due to limited capacity\, we will select participants based on their registration information. The summer school will be free to attend. A participation fee of A$800 or less (to be determined closer to the date) will be requested from the students to partially cover accommodation costs. Other expenses will be the responsibility of the participants and their institutions.
\nStudents from Fudan University and Peking University who are selected as participants in the summer school can obtain a certain amount of travel support from the School of Philosophy at Fudan University and the Department of Philosophy at Peking University\, respectively. Students from Fudan University should contact mingjunzhang@fudan.edu.cn.

This is a real and light-hearted but philosophically rich conference. Website is currently under-construction.
When we look at current research across the natural and social sciences dealing with explanations of phenomena in their respective fields\, the word &lsquo\;explanation&rsquo\; is often modified with an adjective: causal\, non-causal\, mechanistic\, nomological/law-based\, topological\, mathematical\, and narrative are some of the non-mutually-exclusive modifiers that one may encounter. It is generally accepted that fields such as physics rely more on laws for their explanatory practices than disciplines such as cell biology\, which are\, for the most part\, concerned with mechanistic explanations\, for example. In the philosophy of science\, particularly since the advent of the New Mechanism literature in the 1990s\, barring some exceptions\, there has been relatively little sustained work on the pragmatic side of law-based explanations as opposed to other explanatory modalities\, and the interest that law-based explanations have garnered has mostly focused on the metaphysics of laws. This workshop aims to bring the philosophy of law-based explanations\, with particular attention to their pragmatic dimensions\, back into focus. Moreover\, while being historically informed\, the hope is to discuss new directions within this strand of the philosophy of explanation. Some questions for consideration could include (in no particular order):

One such example is evidential pluralism\, arguing for broadening the evidence range beyond difference-making to overcome the rigidity of evidence-based medicine. Further interdisciplinary engagements can assess the adequacy of different philosophical analyses of causation and corresponding causal concepts with respect to particular scientific problems or areas or draw on practices from the sciences to adjust the philosophical toolkit. At the same time\, there are also challenges to address\, such as working across areas with different\, sometimes conflicting\, methods and approaches. This conference aims to bring together current research dealing with causality and inferential practices in the health sciences\, broadly construed\, welcoming philosophical\, methodological\, and scientific contributions\, among others.

\nMany human cognitive capacities and processes may be deployed creatively\, from unique choices made for oneself up through novel cultural shifts. Similarly\, large swaths of our daily lives are taken up with performing spontaneous\, on-the-fly\, and unplanned activities that are\, in a word\, improvised. \; Charting out the nature of both creativity and improvisation\, taken individually or together\, remains an open and pressing issue. In this conference\, we will delve into various philosophical\, theoretical\, empirical\, and interdisciplinary issues that are related to creativity and improvisation. A non-exhaustive list of related questions and themes for this topic include:
\n- What is the relationship between improvisation and creativity?
\n- What is the relationship between creative activity and well-being?
\n- What is the best way to model individual and collective creativity?
\n- Is creativity in the arts the same thing as in other domains\, such as in science or business?
\n- What are the pros and cons of different scientific operationalizations of creativity and improvisation?
\n- Provide a conceptual analysis of creativity and/or improvisation.
