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):

\nBeatrice Serini \;
Abstract: \;Where do we eat? Restaurants\, café\;s\, kitchens and dining rooms may seem like obvious answers\, but eating also takes place in parks\, streets\, markets\, workplaces\, public squares\, gardens\, vehicles and many other spaces. Despite their ubiquity\, the spaces in which food is consumed have received comparatively little systematic philosophical attention.
\nThis talk introduces Gastrospaces\, a research project developed at the intersection of analytic philosophy\, political philosophy and social ontology. The concept gastrospace provides a common analytical category for examining the diverse spaces in which eating takes place and for asking what makes these spaces socially\, politically and culturally significant. \; The project investigates how material arrangements\, social norms\, human and non-human agents\, and patterns of use interact to shape what can happen in a gastrospace and who can participate in it\, asking how apparently ordinary arrangements of food and space can enable inclusion\, exclusion\, discrimination\, conviviality\, distinction or care.
\nThe talk will first present the ontological framework and its main components\, and then provide an overview of the kinds of questions that the framework can help address. It will conclude by considering how this framework can be extended beyond philosophy\, particularly in food studies\, geography\, urban planning\, design and policy.
\nBio: \;Beatrice Serini\, PhD\, is an independent researcher and co-coordinator of Culinary Mind (International Centre for the Philosophy of Food). Her work explores the normative and conceptual dimensions of food and food systems\, with a particular interest in intersections between food\, health\, and technology\, as well as the cultural politics and ontology of the places where we eat.

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.

Call for Papers
\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).
\nLanguage: The primary language of the conference is English. We aim to be non-native friendly\, so we make it a rule that we speak slow and accessible English. If you would like to present in a language other than English\, please contact us.

\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.
