CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
\nWorkshop &ldquo\;What is Good Reasoning?&rdquo\;
\nUniversity of Bern\, Switzerland
\n10&ndash\;11 September 2026
\nThe aim of the workshop is to investigate the nature of good reasoning and its place within the normative domain. We will explore how good reasoning should be understood and how it relates to other central normative notions\, such as reasons\, ought\, value\, and fittingness. The workshop seeks to foster discussion of questions including: What are the norms and aims of reasoning? Can we explain what it means to reason well in terms of other normative or non-normative notions? And what roles do normative reasons play in good reasoning?

Here\, while citizens and officials adhere to the letter of the law\, they frequently flout something more fundamental in ways that erode the rule of law. In addition to the familiar uses of technicalities to game the legal system\, there are much more serious instances\, such as &ldquo\;lawfare&rdquo\;\, in which political officials weaponize the law in order to attack their political opponents. This project aims to illuminate the nature of the rule of law by investigating these and other pathologies of legalism. Questions to be posed include: What exactly is flouted when citizens or officials resort to legalism? Wherein lies the wrong or harm in such floutings? What kinds of measures would be suitable to address them effectively? Are there certain virtues that\, if cultivated\, would protect against the pathologies of legalism? Speakers will include Gerald Postema (UNC-CH)\, &ldquo\;No Tyranny More Cruel"\; Amanda Greene (UC Santa Barbara)\, &ldquo\;What&rsquo\;s Wrong with Lawfare?&rdquo\;\; Lucas Stanczyk (Harvard)\, "The Shadow Republic: Liberalism\, State Violence\, the Responsibility of Intellectuals&rdquo\;\; Kevin Toh (UCL)\, "Mutual Freedom\, Substrata of Rules\, and Subversive Legalism&rdquo\;\; Hilary Nye (Alberta)\, &ldquo\;The Rule of Law as a Thick Concept&rdquo\;\; and Mitchell Berman (Penn)\, "Cheating\, Second-Order Rules\, and Principles".

But doubt has always had ethical and political implications. Ancient Pyrrhonists saw suspension of judgement as a path to tranquility. Early modern thinkers used skeptical arguments against religious and political authority. In more contemporary debates over expertise\, trust\, and the "crisis of knowledge"\, questions of what we can know are inseparable from political questions.
\nThis conference explores the ethics and politics of skepticism and doubt. How does skepticism interact with politics--does skepticism undermine or enable certain political arrangements\, ideologies\, or ethical stances? What are the ethical and political implications of different skeptical views or stances? What can we say about specific contexts where doubt may be productive or perilous\, such as in democratic deliberation\, or challenges to scientific consensus?

\n\nInformation on the workshop \;
\nConsiderations about the nature of welfare\, the value of welfare\, its distribution\, or welfare-based claims and complaints are central to moral philosophy. They are of particular concern for all philosophers who take welfare to be (at least) one source for normative reasons. Evaluative and deontic considerations about welfare provide an array of fascinating philosophical questions.
\nIt is (quite) uncontroversial that welfare has moral value and provides moral reasons\, but it is highly contested how in particular. We ought not to harm people\, but ought we also benefit them? Does this include non-human animals and other agents\, and does it include future people even if their existence depends on our actions? Can we aggregate people&rsquo\;s welfare\, or should we limit the trade-offs between their harms and benefits?
\nOur account of welfare has implications for ethics\, but do ethical considerations also provide reasons to adopt one or another theory of welfare? What is the interaction between theories of welfare and the ethics of welfare? \;
\nSome lives are better and some are worse\, but what constitutes their prudential value? Are well-being and ill-being analogous or do they differ in structure and relevance &ndash\; and what do particular theories imply? What are the relevant underlying concepts of desire\, pleasure\, friendship\, or other objective goods on which welfare may depend?
\nThis workshop provides a forum for the discussion of those and related questions. It aims at rallying scholars of philosophy to expand our understanding in these issues\, and we hope to promote the philosophical engagement with ethics\, welfare\, and how they interact.

Groups can achieve great accomplishments and benefits\, but they can also commit evil at scale. Likewise\, through the division of cognitive labor and with the support of technologies of communication and inference\, collectives can learn things that no individual could achieve in a lifetime. However\, collectives can also spread misinformation\, disinformation\, unwarranted conspiracy theories\, and propaganda at hitherto-unimagined speed and scale. \;
\nThis course addresses both the promise and the peril that attend our increasingly connected\, global community. It offers participants the chance to think through the ethical difficulties of existence within contemporary communities\, and consider how to construct those communities in ways that enable us to flourish together as moral\, epistemic\, and political agents. We will begin with an introduction to individual virtue theory (both ethical and epistemic)\, then expand to a consideration of collective virtue theory.
\nPhilosophers have developed accounts not only of the virtues but also detailed accounts of the vices that oppose and undermine them. The fields of both vice ethics and vice epistemology have grown in recent years. Many of these vices only exist in collective contexts because they presuppose various forms of complex sociality. Interdisciplinary scholars have also developed more thorough accounts of not only individual but also collective virtues and vices\, as well as the relationship between individual and collective virtues and vices. The resulting understanding of cognitive technologies and the forms that cognitive conflict can take informs our thinking about what virtue is up against\, and what it consists of. \;
\nThe team of teachers of this course has experience with both theorizing and conducting empirical studies\, using methods from psychology\, cognitive science\, and artificial intelligence.
\nFinancial aid is available. \;

Our objective is to promote the research of young scholars (bachelor\, master\, and doctoral students) that sheds new phenomenological light on current debates in epistemology\, metaethics\, and metaphysics. The descriptive analysis of lived experience\, the eidetic study of the various modes of intentionality\, and the epistemic role and normative dimensions ascribed to experience constitute the cornerstones of phenomenological research. In particular\, Husserl&rsquo\;s conceptions of originary givenness\, evaluative experience\, and eidetic intuition are among the various seminal contributions we find in the phenomenological tradition. Currently\, promising research is done that utilizes such conceptions in order to develop phenomenological perspectives on experiential justification\, the debate between epistemic internalism and externalism\, the theory of value\, (moral) emotions\, moral epistemology\, issues surrounding metaphysical realism and anti-realism\, as well as the epistemology and metaphysics of essence\, modality\, and metaphysical dependence relations. We would like to encourage students to develop phenomenological insights and teachings systematically and in view of contemporary debates in philosophy. Our ambition is to promote such phenomenological research by providing a platform to connect with\, discuss with\, and receive feedback from peers and experts. Each conference day is devoted to one of the subtopics of the event.
\nThe conference will be an \;online event. \;If you wish to participate in the summer school but not to give a talk\, please provide a short statement of motivation (not more than 150 words) and specify your name\, affiliation\, and research interests.
\nCall for Papers
\nIf you wish to participate in the summer school and give a talk\, please apply with an (extended) abstract of the paper you wish to present. Submissions should not exceed 500 words\, must be written in English (conference language)\, and should be prepared for blind review.
\nThe submission deadline is July 15\, 2026.
\nPlease send your applications/submissions and general inquiries to: laurentia[dot]adam[at]uni-graz[dot]at

One of those systems is how we think of language and the self. Is it possible to say what is true\, when stories are always already framed by the world in which they take place? What role does autofiction play in our own lives\, in the process of resistance\, in the call for that which remains invisible? The poetic attention inherent in autofiction\, in escrevivê\;ncia\, that is inherent in the work\, is created for and by and to address the necessity of the impossible. Autofiction as an act of God\, of the transcendent that manifests itself in the real\, in lived experience\, and as such is aimed at resisting the patriarchy.
\nIn this symposium we aim to bring together people with whom this theme resonates\, and we ask people to share from their own life\, practise\, profession\, in order to create an ongoing conversation as a way to build resilience. We explicitly invite people to embrace the difference they bring in to contribute towards this shared endeavour. \;
\nAutofiction as Resistance as a method
\nDuring this week we aim to work together on exploring the themes that are central to this circle also in the way we participate. We explicitly invite people to share their insights\, artistic practises and theoretic understanding in a way that invites collaborative thinking. For this reason academic presentations are not accepted\, although a presentation can be a part of a larger workshop. Please indicate in your application how much time you would need for your intervention\, and a brief description on how you aim to use the time allotted to your session. First-time experiments are as welcome as tested concepts. \;
\nParticipants without workshops/sharing of their own personal project/ideas are also most welcome to collaborate during the week in the interactive program. \;
\nAbout Nordic Summer University (NSU):
\nNSU is a space for collaboration between disciplines/peoples/ideas. During the Summer Session several study circles\, each hosting their own program\, will come together &ndash\; participants are welcome to join different circles/programmes during the week. NSU is a horizontal organisation\, being present means you are a member and part of the organisation.
\nCosts
\nNSU offers a limited amount of grants and scholarships. If you are interested in receiving one (which means a reduced participation fee of only 100 euro for the whole week)\, please let us know while applying. \;
\nThis includes \;accommodation and all meals for the full week. The price also includes NSU membership\, so it is not necessary to purchase it separately. Those who have already attended a winter symposium and paid the membership will receive a discount code to deduct the membership fee &ndash\; please contact us before you register to receive the discount code. No refunds will be given if participants pay membership twice by mistake\, so please mention in your application that you already attended an NSU event this year\, to receive a discount code.
\nDeadlines
\nPlease send us a short text explaining your aim / topic / idea\, how much time you would need to host the experience\, and what materials you would require (paper/paint/bicycles)\, which we will try to accommodate. \;
\nPlease send us your application by April 5th. \;Especially if you would like to be considered to receive a grant/scholarship\, as decisions on grants/scholarships will be made at the end of April. Deadline to confirm and pay your spot as a grant/scholarship receiver is May 1st. \;
\nOther applicants are accepted on a rolling basis. Final deadline to apply: May 10th. By May 15th you will need to register and pay for the accommodation.

\nPlease be aware that everyone involved at Nordic Summer University is collaborating on a voluntary basis.
\nAbout the Circle:
\nHow to think/write/be/inter-act without being limited by an already outlined goal/outcome/impact? How to explore what is messy/confused/embodied while accepting that exploration is always also taking place within philosophy/genre/language/life &ndash\; within what is. That is\, our attempt to explore\, to transcend our sites of speech happens in this world and is framed by the situatedness of our lives. Could it be otherwise? This study circle aims to take advantage of the network\, space and openness provided by the Nordic Summer University to raise questions that cannot be answered/grounded/voiced\, for philosophers/writers/feminists and/or/as-well-as those who are other(s/ed/ing). \;
\nThis study circle will explore the liminality of not belonging in a discipline/space/frame/ category/nation. Accepting language as the limit/tool/curse and an unavoidable starting point\, building upon the work of Irigaray/Arendt/Ettinger\, this state of exception of being-with/in/of language is not simple put aside\, but accepted as a reality which is &ldquo\;disturbing\, overwhelming\, and sometimes too close for comfort&rdquo\;. \;
\nThese tensions open up a liminal space &ndash\; how to think/write/be/inter-act within such a space\, while being an/Other\\not-I/(m)\\Other within feminist philosophy? How to write/create/live as a being that is more than the categories available to mark/describe/situate them? How to explore power as a temporary space\, a moment\, political and liminal? How to read and ground ourselves in feminist philosophy while also living/m-othering/PhD-ing? How to even ask/write/question these questions\, without falling prey to the linearity inherent in what/who/why it means to question? \;

Phainomenon UID:20260613T130547Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:CALL-FOR-PAPERS
\nHusserl considered the establishment of a transcendental community of subjects necessary for the possibility of obtaining transcendental knowledge of oneself and the world. Notwithstanding\, Husserl's philosophy has been regarded as solipsistic for a significant period. However\, analysis of Husserl's theory of perception\, even prior to the publication of the \;Cartesian Investigations\, \;suggests otherwise. According to this view\, experience of the world is understood as public rather than private. Perceived objects are not exclusive to a single perceiving subject\, although they are given in subjective experience. For this reason\, at least from the 1920s onwards\, Husserl refers to the egological foundation of his philosophy as leading toward an intersubjective transcendental phenomenology\, or even (as one can read in Hua IX: 539)\, towards a sociological phenomenology.
\nThe issue of "transcendental intersubjectivity"\, beginning from a transcendental ego\, and its role in the constitution of an intersubjectively valid world\, is discussed in Husserl's 5th Cartesian Meditation as well as in numerous unpublished manuscripts. This topic was further explored by later phenomenologists\, including Eugen Fink and Ludwig Landgrebe. Others\, overlooking Husserl's focus on the constitutive role of intersubjectivity rather than its empirical forms\, charged him with neglecting the ethical aspects of the I-Thou relationship\; this critique was most notably advanced by Emanuel Lé\;vinas. However\, it was in the 1950s that Alfred Schutz offered one of the most critical perspectives on the project of establishing an intersubjective transcendental community of egos. Schutz argued\, namely: \;1) Husserl's transcendental Ego cannot be put in the plural. \;2) Husserl did not provide conclusive proof that the existence of other Egos is a problem of the transcendental sphere. \;3) Intersubjectivity is just an empirical-mundane problem. \;4) \;Transcendental subjectivity must be replaced by mundane intersubjectivity.
\nAdditionally\, Schutz made several observations about Husserl's method in the 5th Cartesian Meditation. He argued that Husserl's concept of reduction to the "sphere of the proper" assumes a distinction between the proper and the alien\, which could only have been established prior to the reduction. Schutz also noted that the experience of pairing\, which presents the alien body as similar to one's own\, lacks precision\, as it does not consider differences such as those between male and female\, or between humans and animals.
\nNº\; 40 of \;Phainomenon \;aims to retrieve this issue\, offering not only an analysis of the Husserl-Schutz debate\, but also exploring new perspectives\, namely (but not restricted to):
\n1) the ways the experience of an alien self can be addressed from a phenomenological point-of-view\;
\n2) intersubjectivity and lifeworld\;
\n3) the role of the lived body in the experience of "pairing"\;
\n4) "higher-level" intersubjective communities: family\, corporations\, trade-unions\, state institutions\;
\n5) "mundane phenomenology" and sociology\;

\nWe invite the submission of extended abstracts (but no longer than 1000 words) for presentations at the international conference on &ldquo\;Relational Normativity: Epistemic and Practical&rdquo\; that takes place at the University of Zurich from 18th to 20th February 2027. The abstracts should be sent to sebastian.schmidt@uzh.ch until August 31st 2026.
\nThe conference will host a series of renowned experts from ethics and epistemology to discuss the role of relational normativity across philosophical disciplines. If your talk gets accepted\, travel expenses\, including up to three nights at a central hotel in Zurich\, flight and train tickets\, as well as lunch and dinner\, will be covered. We also plan a follow-up project such as an edited volume with a major publisher or a special issue for an academic journal. Accepted talks will be invited as contributions to this follow-up project.
\nA recent trend in epistemology is to borrow ethical concepts to think about epistemic normativity. Maybe most notably\, the concept of epistemic injustice is meant to track the wrong that is done to someone in their capacity as a knower (Fricker 2007). More recently\, the idea that there is something we epistemically owe to each other (cf. Basu 2019) is taking hold. Epistemologists defend the idea that there is a distinctively epistemic kind of accountability and blame (Kauppinen 2018\; Brown 2020\; Boult 2020\; 2024)\, that we expect each other to meet our epistemic obligations to believe or know (Goldberg 2018)\, and that we owe epistemic redress (Hull 2019)\, atonement (Woodard 2023)\, or reparations (Altanian 2022\; Lackey 2022) to those we epistemically wronged\, who might then decide to epistemically forgive us (Green 2024). This has led some epistemologists to propose more fundamentally social meta-epistemologies (Dyke 2022\; Fleisher 2024\; Hannon &\; Woodard 2025)\, even proposing that epistemic normativity has relational foundations (Boult 2024).
\nWhile epistemologists take inspiration from the work of ethicists to develop their ideas on epistemic relationality\, the above literature develops largely in isolation from broader engagement with the recent ethical discussions on the relational structure of morality. Relational ethics has focused mostly on the explanation of our moral obligations to one another\, where obligations are typically understood as the correlates of rights or similar claims. To be under a moral obligation\, on this view\, is to be under a directed or second-personal duty to another person which is constitutively connected to the claim-right that this person has on you (e.g. Darwall 2006\, Wallace 2019\, Zylberman 2021). The relational understanding of morality illuminates the social significance of morality and the commonly held assumption that morality is grounded in relations of accountability and that moral wrongness warrants blame.
\nThe pioneering work and ongoing research by ethicists should be studied closely for the transposition of ethical concepts into epistemology to be intelligible and bear philosophical fruit. The aim of this conference is to bring together these two perspectives with a focus on discussing foundational issues surrounding relational normativity. Questions that will be discussed may include the following:

Our objective is to promote the research of young scholars (bachelor\, master\, and doctoral students) that sheds new phenomenological light on current debates in epistemology\, metaethics\, and metaphysics. The descriptive analysis of lived experience\, the eidetic study of the various modes of intentionality\, and the epistemic role and normative dimensions ascribed to experience constitute the cornerstones of phenomenological research. In particular\, Husserl&rsquo\;s conceptions of originary givenness\, evaluative experience\, and eidetic intuition are among the various seminal contributions we find in the phenomenological tradition. Currently\, promising research is done that utilizes such conceptions in order to develop phenomenological perspectives on experiential justification\, the debate between epistemic internalism and externalism\, the theory of value\, (moral) emotions\, moral epistemology\, issues surrounding metaphysical realism and anti-realism\, as well as the epistemology and metaphysics of essence\, modality\, and metaphysical dependence relations. We would like to encourage students to develop phenomenological insights and teachings systematically and in view of contemporary debates in philosophy. Our ambition is to promote such phenomenological research by providing a platform to connect with\, discuss with\, and receive feedback from peers and experts. Each conference day is devoted to one of the subtopics of the event.
\nThe conference will be an \;online event. \;If you wish to participate in the summer school but not to give a talk\, please provide a short statement of motivation (not more than 150 words) and specify your name\, affiliation\, and research interests.
\nCall for Papers
\nIf you wish to participate in the summer school and give a talk\, please apply with an (extended) abstract of the paper you wish to present. Submissions should not exceed 500 words\, must be written in English (conference language)\, and should be prepared for blind review.

We will explore how good reasoning should be understood and how it relates to other central normative notions\, such as reasons\, ought\, value\, and fittingness. The workshop seeks to foster discussion of questions including: What are the norms and aims of reasoning? Can we explain what it means to reason well in terms of other normative or non-normative notions? And what roles do normative reasons play in good reasoning?

Svobody 331/2\, Hradec Králové\, Czech Republic DESCRIPTION:The conference is on the nature of rationality and its relation to normativity\, especially on how rationality and reasons generate norms for what to believe\, trust or doubt. Rationality provides norms governing our thinking\, not only in general (do not form incoherent beliefs)\, but also in specific cases (do not trust that obvious conman). Which reasons the agent does or does not possess\, and their quality\, is also important. This conference aims at bringing together experts on these topics and shed light on these phenomena.
\nGetting a clear picture of what rationality and reasons are and what norms they place on our thinking can aid with applied philosophical issues as well. For example\, is conspiracy thinking\, distrust towards scientific experts or falling for fake news irrational? If so\, which rational norms are violated exactly\, and under which circumstances? What does the rational standing of people who engage in these potentially irrational processes teach us about why they engage in them\, and what if anything we should do to combat these phenomena?

G.E.M. Anscombe\, for instance\, famously argued that modern moral philosophers\, and her contemporaries under their influence\, were wrong to try and ground the normativity of morality without reference to a divine lawgiver. Whether they are critical or merely interpretive in nature\, the views of many other influential philosophers such as H.A. Prichard\, Bernard Williams\, and Stephen Darwall have all agreed in this respect. Indeed\, Christine Korsgaard describes what she calls &lsquo\;the normative question\,&rsquo\; that is\, what \;justifies \;the demands that morality makes on us\, as one that was especially pressing for modern moral philosophers from roughly Grotius to Kant. How did modern moral philosophers explain the normativity of morality? How do modern figures use the concept of obligation to account for the normativity of morality? This conference and the planned edited volume will address these and related questions. Collectively\, the participants will engage with the works of a variety of major and minor figures from the modern period to enrich our historical and systematic understanding of the nature of morality&rsquo\;s normativity.

\nThe intention is to workshop papers for a praise-themed issue of \;Oxford Studies in Agency &\; Responsibility. \;Selected abstracts must be \;promised \;to this special themed issue of OSAR. They cannot be submitted elsewhere\, and if accepted\, they must be committed to OSAR.
\nWhile workshop dinners will be covered\, funds unfortunately are not available to assist with travel or accommodation.
\nThe timeline of important dates and deadlines is as follows:
\n-Abstract due (500-1000 words): April 30\, 2026
\n-Notification concerning acceptance: May 30\, 2026
\n-First draft due (to be circulated amongst workshop participants): October 21\, 2026
\n-Workshop dates: November 12-14\, 2026
\n-Revised draft due: sometime in February 2027
\nThe papers will then be sent out by OUP for vetting and\, once returned\, contributors may make further changes. The praise-themed edition of Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility is expected to be in print 2028. \;
\nAnonymized abstracts (of 500-1000 words) should be submitted to \;praiseworkshop2026@gmail.com \;by the end of April 30 (last time zone on Earth).

Some philosophers have argued that moral reasons are distinctive in virtue of their stringency or overridingness\; others question whether the notion of a normative reason provides the most illuminating framework for understanding moral demands at all. More generally\, the relationship between morality and normative reasons remains contested\, both with respect to the nature of moral reasons and their place within moral thought and practice. This workshop aims to examine these issues from a variety of perspectives and to explore the significance of reasons-based approaches for contemporary moral philosophy.
