CALL FOR PAPERS
\n \;
\nDEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY
\n \;
\nInternational Conference: Philosophy of the Black Experience
\n \;
\nMarch 28-30\, 2024
\nHoward University\, Washington DC
\nThe demand/struggle for racial equality\, identity\, and justice by populations racialized as Black (and other people of color) in the United States and anywhere around the world remain issues of pressing philosophical concern. The struggle for equality and justice requires not only theoretical articulations but also practical accounts upon which to make the demands. Thus\, the contributions of the Black race and continent to global civilization need exploration\, showcasing\, and articulations because they are neither fully appreciated nor given due global recognition. Whether those contributions come from Black Africa\, Latin America\, the Caribbean\, or elsewhere\, their historical understanding and relevance to contemporary concerns must be adamantly asserted to avoid further marginalization. This conference focuses on the philosophy of the black experience throughout human history to explore the significant contributions and denials of the black race in world civilization. The conference is a philosophical interrogation of black experience in global and national affairs\; hence it welcomes papers in all areas of intellectualism that articulate the philosophy of the black experience in any area of human endeavors.

\nIdeas\, multifaceted in nature\, embody thoughts\, beliefs\, and abstract representations of concepts or entities. Their manifestation and propagation occur through diverse techniques across various media. This special issue aims to delve deep into the intricate relationship between ideas and their portrayal within popular culture.
\nPopular culture is not just a repository of ideas but actively shapes and influences them. It is fascinating to observe how ideas\, when embedded in popular culture\, can undergo shifts in their intended meanings or even manifest as potential hazards. With its nuanced complexities\, the intricate dance between popular culture and ideas warrants thorough examination and comprehension.
\nHistorically rich with ideas&mdash\;art and aesthetics serve as mediums for promotion\, critique\, and discussion. Popular culture has emerged as a potent medium for articulating ideas in our contemporary landscape. The nexus between aesthetics and ideas within pop culture has never been more salient\, prompting more research into this particular issue to explore these interrelationships in our current milieu.
\nSuggested Topics Include (but are not limited to):
\n- The role of popular culture in amplifying ideas.
\n- Popular culture&rsquo\;s influence in public service announcements: Advocating positive concepts.
\n- The presence of propaganda within popular culture.
\n- The intersection of religious ideas and popular culture: How religious movements harness pop culture for recruitment.
\n- Utilizing popular culture as a soft power mechanism to advance cultural and political ideologies.
\n- The portrayal of utopia within popular culture.
\n- Popular culture&rsquo\;s reflection on societal gender roles.
\n- Narratives of war as presented in popular culture.
\nAuthor Guidelines:
\nWe ask Authors to read our guidelines posted under the tab For Authors and to double-check the completeness of each submission (please remember to submit the abstract\, keywords\, bibliography\, and a biographical note about the author collectively) before submitting.

\nLUKÁ\;CS AND THE CRITICAL LEGACY OF CLASSICAL GERMAN PHILOSOPHY
\n(second call)
\nOpen Philosophy \;(https://www.degruyter.com/OPPHIL) \;invites submissions for the topical issue &ldquo\;Luká\;cs and the Critical Legacy of Classical German Philosophy&rdquo\;\, edited by Rü\;diger Dannemann (International Georg-Luká\;cs-Society) and Gregor Schä\;fer (University of Basel).
\nDESCRIPTION
\nIn 1923 Hungarian-German philosopher Georg Luká\;cs published his early opus magnum History and Class Consciousness. Being situated at the very intersection of practical issues &ndash\; vis-à\;-vis the deep crisis of World War I and in the middle of the revolutionary movements in its aftermath &ndash\; on the one hand and sophisticated theory on the other hand the book marks an event not only in revolutionary politics &ndash\; provoking a harsh critique from part of the official communist movement as well as an intensive reception particularly within the trajectories of the political-intellectual life of the 1960s &ndash\; but also in philosophy. Within what one often\, together with Gramsci&rsquo\;s and Korsch&rsquo\;s contemporary projects\, refers to as &lsquo\;Hegel-Marxism\,&rsquo\; History and Class Consciousness \;surely is the most systematic conception. The critique of reification &ndash\; as elucidating the very structure of modern capitalist society and the forms of its thinking &ndash\; the book centrally elaborates had a profound and prominent impact on the formation of later Critical Theory around Horkheimer and Adorno. Furthermore\, one even may read\, in some aspects\, Heidegger&rsquo\;s Being and Time \;(1927) as an indirect answer to the challenge of History and Class Consciousness \;&ndash\; and\, clearly\, find its traces in French existentialism around Merleau-Ponty and Sartre.
\nLuká\;cs explicitly articulates History and Class Consciousness\, whose &lsquo\;over-Hegelianization&rsquo\; of Marxism he will criticize in his later work himself\, as an interpretation of Marxism in the light of post-Kantian German Idealism &ndash\; mostly of Hegel but also of Schiller\, Fichte\, or Schelling as well as of post-idealist philosophers rooted in the idealist tradition such as Lask. Whilst the concept of reification often has been discussed in its constellation with Marxist critique of capitalism and with German sociology\, particularly in Weber and Simmel\, despite the label of &lsquo\;Hegel-Marxism\,&rsquo\; the references to Classical German Philosophy still mark an important desideratum \;in terms both of historical and systematic examinations. Concepts not only such as &ldquo\;reification&rdquo\; but also &ldquo\;totality\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;method\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;dialectics\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;nature\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;(class) consciousness\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;history\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;revolution\,&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;subject-object&rdquo\; Luká\;cs extensively applies in his early work\, however\, cannot be separated from their origin in central systematic problematics of German Idealism. At the very same time\, when it comes to contemporary discussions of the reception of Classical German Philosophy\, Luká\;cs remains a rather marginal figure despite his important role within post-idealist confrontations with the theoretical and practical impact of idealism and its possible actuality. In a line with this dominant setting\, it hardly has been analyzed in detail that Luká\;cs&rsquo\; interpretation of the entire sequence of post-Kantian idealism starting from the problematic of the &ldquo\;thing-in-itself&rdquo\; (Ding-an-sich) in Kant is a very original and productive one &ndash\; and it hereby is neglected that\, following a semantic hint\, &ldquo\;reification&rdquo\; (Verdinglichung) may stand in an internal relation to this very problematic instead of being just a sociological term or the descriptive name of a social pathology.
\nOn the occasion of the centennial of the publication\, the present call for papers invites original submissions that aim at filling this gap by examining and discussing History and Class Consciousness&rsquo\; dialogue with Classical German Philosophy and its aftermath. The contributions may focus on this interconnection by dwelling on central concepts in Luká\;cs and any author(s) of Classical German Philosophy and its tradition systematically\, or by (re-)discovering relevant historical lines of reception. Of particular interest hereby is the potential this configuration has in terms of a critical thinking of &ndash\; and within &ndash\; our own present and its ongoing multiple crises and struggles.

\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. \;

\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):

\nLocation: Center for Philosophy of Science\, Cathedral of Learning\, University of Pittsburgh
\nThe arena of science and values has grown in size and prominence in recent philosophy of science. But debates about the role of science remain fairly limited in terms of both the scope of topics discussed and in the range of views expressed. This conference aims to broaden the horizons of work on science and values\, partly by making room for new (or new versions of older) ideas and partly by getting it to interact with other parts of philosophy.

\nSeminario annuale - Edizione 2023/2024
\n\n\nProspettive estetiche ed ermeneutiche
\n\nUniversità\; di Torino\, 4-5 giugno 2024
\n\nIl problema della forma è\; al centro degli interessi della filosofia sin dalle sue origini. La nozione di forma si sviluppa a partire da una serie di contrapposizioni - forma e materia\, forma e contenuto\, forma e sostanza - e intreccia la sua storia con numerosi altri vocaboli fondamentali del lessico filosofico: la forma è\; a seconda dei casi «\;essenza»\;\, «\;schema»\;\, «\;categoria»\;\, «\;figura»\;\, e assume la funzione di ciò\; che unifica il molteplice\, dello sfondo universale che costituisce il terreno comune per accomunare gli elementi particolari\, ma anche della struttura permanente che sopravvive alle modificazioni della materia.
\nV'è\; una prima nozione di forma\, e di formale\, sviluppata in particolare da Kant\, che indica la dimensione che precede ogni esperienza e ogni contenuto particolare\, ed è\; quindi propriamente universale\; è\; solo su questo terreno che può\; svolgersi la matematica\, con la sua pretesa di validità\; universale. L&rsquo\;universale formale ha anche una struttura relazionale: esso nasce con una presa di distanza originaria dall&rsquo\;esperienza in generale\, e si attua di volta in volta nelle prese di distanza concrete che realizziamo. Questa presa di distanza non annulla la concretezza: la sospende nella sua immediatezza\, nella sua pressione vitale\, e così\; le permette di trasporsi su questo nuovo piano in cui può\; coesistere con altri. Così\; l&rsquo\;universale formale sia nel suo originarsi che nel suo attuarsi resta in relazione con la concretezza. La riflessione su questa dimensione universale è\; resa particolarmente opportuna dalla condizione di pluralismo culturale che caratterizza il mondo di oggi.
\nGià\; nel pensiero antico il concetto di forma ha uno statuto molto complesso e variegato. La forma non è\; solo un'astrazione\, ma è\; ciò\; che anima il vivente\, ciò\; che vi è\; di più\; proprio al cuore di ogni cosa. La forma dell'oggetto è\; il suo destino\, il suo fine\, ciò\; che gli dà\; senso e che definisce le condizioni della sua possibilità\;\, del suo nascere e del suo perire.
\nTra il XVIII e il XIX secolo il pensiero moderno - in particolare tedesco - raccoglie con grande sensibilità\; questa ricchezza della nozione di forma\, in quel momento cruciale che segna la nascita dell'estetica come noi la intendiamo ancora oggi\, e dunque dell'idea moderna di arte\, ma anche delle scienze naturali come la biologia\, la botanica\, la zoologia e l'antropologia. Il concetto di forma diventa la nozione che permette di tenere insieme natura e cultura\, vita e tecnica\, nascita e creazione.
\nIn questo contesto la nozione di forma si fa plastica\, dinamica: pensare il mondo significa pensare la vita delle forme\, il loro mutare\, svilupparsi\, interagire nei meravigliosi quanto misteriosi processi della natura\, come anche nelle idee degli artisti e degli artigiani. Le forme - naturali\, artificiali\, simboliche - hanno una storia: per questo esse vanno ricostruite\, interpretate\, mostrate nel contesto della loro genesi e del loro sviluppo. D'altra parte\, l'interpretazione stessa si vincola alle forme su cui si applica: le forme strutturano i nostri modi di intendere\, comprendere e agire\, offrendosi come nello stesso tempo come condizione e posta in gioco dell'interpretazione. Mettendo in relazione forma e interpretazione\, inoltre\, quest'ultima si emancipa dal terreno linguistico e testuale alla quale in genere è\; ricondotta\, aprendosi ad altri fondamentali ambiti della vita\, quali la dimensione dell'immagine\, della materia\, della natura e della tecnica.
\nIl mondo contemporaneo è\; un dilagare di forme che si sovrappongono\, si scontrano\, entrano in relazione e si trasformano: in questo contesto così\; caotico\, l'ermeneutica possiede gli strumenti per mostrare la pregnanza della dimensione formale\, e produrre un'analisi critica che riguarda non solo i discorsi\, ma anche gli oggetti\, le pratiche\, i saperi\, le configurazioni simboliche della nostra epoca.
\nL&rsquo\;edizione 2023/2024 del seminario internazionale del Centro Studi Filosofico-religiosi &ldquo\;Luigi Pareyson&rdquo\; sarà\; dedicato dunque al rapporto tra forma e interpretazione. Al centro del dibattito\, ovviamente\, verrà\; posta la nozione di &ldquo\;formatività\;&rdquo\;\, concetto centrale nel pensiero di Luigi Pareyson e dell&rsquo\;estetica del &lsquo\;900.
\nModalità\; di partecipazione
\nSono gradite proposte d&rsquo\;intervento relative ai seguenti temi (o altri correlati):

\nAnnual Seminar - 2023/2024

\n\nAesthetic and Hermeneutic Perspectives
\n\nUniversity of Turin\, 4-5 June 2024
\n\nThe problem of form has been central to the interests of philosophy since its origins. The notion of form developed from a series of oppositions - form and matter\, form and content\, form and substance - and intertwined its history with numerous other fundamental words in the philosophical lexicon: form is\, depending on the case\, "essence"\, "scheme"\, "category"\, "figure"\, and assumes the function of that which unifies the multiple\, of the universal background that constitutes the common ground for uniting particular elements\, but also of the permanent structure that survives the modifications of matter.
\n\nThere is a first notion of form\, and of formal\, developed in particular by Kant\, which indicates the dimension that precedes all experience and all particular content\, and is therefore properly universal\; it is only in this domain that mathematics\, with its claim to universal validity\, can take place. The formal universal also has a relational structure: it is born with an original taking of distance from experience in general\, and is realised from time to time in the concrete taking of distance that we realise. This taking of distance does not erase concreteness: it suspends it in its immediacy\, in its vital pressure\, and thus allows it to transpose itself onto this new plane in which it can coexist with others. Thus the formal universal both in its origin and in its realisation remains in relation to concreteness. Reflection on this universal dimension is made particularly opportune by the condition of cultural pluralism that characterises today's world.
\n\nAlready in ancient thought\, the concept of form has a complex and varied status. Form is not just an abstraction\, but is what animates the living\, what is at the very heart of everything. The form of the object is its destiny\, its end\, what gives it meaning and defines the conditions of its possibility\, its birth and its perishing.
\n\nBetween the 18th and 19th centuries\, modern thought - particularly German - took up this richness of the notion of form with great sensitivity\, at that crucial moment that marked the birth of aesthetics as we still understand it today\, and thus of the modern idea of art\, but also of the natural sciences such as biology\, botany\, zoology and anthropology. The notion of form becomes the notion that holds nature and culture\, life and technology\, birth and creation together.
\n\nIn this context\, the notion of form becomes plastic\, dynamic: thinking the world means thinking the life of forms\, their changing\, developing\, interacting in the marvellous and mysterious processes of nature\, as well as in the ideas of artists and craftsmen. Forms - natural\, artificial\, symbolic - have a history: that is why they must be reconstructed\, interpreted\, shown in the context of their genesis and development. On the other hand\, interpretation itself is bound to the forms on which it is applied: forms structure our ways of understanding\, comprehending and acting\, offering themselves as both the condition and the stake of interpretation. By linking form and interpretation\, moreover\, the latter emancipates itself from the linguistic and textual domain to which it is generally led\, opening up to other fundamental spheres of life\, such as the dimension of image\, matter\, nature and technology.
\n\nThe contemporary world is a deluge of forms that overlap\, collide\, relate and transform: in this chaotic context\, hermeneutics possesses the tools to show the poignancy of the formal dimension\, and to produce a critical analysis that concerns not only discourses\, but also the objects\, practices\, knowledge\, and symbolic configurations of our era.
\n\nThe 2023/2024 edition of the international seminar of the "Luigi Pareyson" Centre for Philosophical-Religious Studies will therefore be dedicated to the relationship between form and interpretation. At the centre of the debate\, of course\, will be the notion of "formativity"\, a central concept in the thought of Luigi Pareyson and 20th century aesthetics.

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.  \;  \;

We are pleased to invite you to the XVIII Conference Mediterranean Roots of Philosophy - Mediterranean Humanism: On the 500th Anniversary of the Death of Marko Marulić.
\nThe conference is organized by the Croatian Philosophical Society and the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Split\, Croatia. It will be held from April 11 to 13\, 2024 in Split\, Croatia. \;
\nThis year marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Marko Marulić\, the father of Croatian literature\, a humanist writer praised for his philosophically stimulating works. Because of that\, we decided to dedicate this year's conference to Mediterranean humanism. The conference is open to submissions related to Humanism and Renaissance philosophy\, not necessarily directly related to the work of Marko Marulić.
\nIn addition to that special\, this year's theme\, the symposium is also open to two permanent topics: philosophy in the Mediterranean and globalisation challenges and multiculturalism in the Mediterranean region.
\nAccording to that\, the symposium program will be divided into the following thematic units:
\nInterdisciplinary research is welcomed. \;
\nLanguages of the conference
\nThe working languages of the conference are Croatian (and related South Slavic languages) and English.
\nConference structure
\nAll thematic units are interdisciplinary. Individual panels will be organized according to the principle of thematic or methodological affinity.
\nThe conference part of the symposium will take place on April 11 and 12. On April 13\, we will organize an optional tour of the city of Split\, with special emphasis on its Renaissance history and Humanism. \;
\nVenue of the conference
\nThe conference takes place at the University of Split\, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences\,
\n \;Poljička cesta 25\, 21 000 Split.
\nRegistration fee
\nThe registration fee for participation in the symposium is 50 euros.
\nThe registration fee covers:
\nOptional city tour (April 13)
\nFor participants who stay in Split after the conference\, on April 13 we organize an expert\, optional tour of Diocletian's Palace and the wider city center with special emphasis on its Humanist and Renaissance history.
\nAccommodation
\nThe organizers are unable to provide accommodation for conference participants. Participants independently organize and reserve accommodation.
\nPublications
\nAfter participating in the conference\, participants can (nonobligatory) submit their papers for publication in international scientific journals Synthesis Philosophica (https://hrcak. srce.hr/synthesis-philosophica\; in English) or Filozofska istraživanja (https://hrcak.srce.hr/filozofska-istrazivanja\; in Croatian).

\nKeynote Speaker: Dolores Morris \;
\nThe Philosophy Graduate Student Organization of the University of South Tampa invites submissions to our in person annual graduate conference. The conference will be held at the University of South Florida Tampa on April 13\, 2024. The theme of this year&rsquo\;s conference is religious experiences. Some questions that will be discussed include: When is a religious experience warranted? Are religious experiences trustworthy? Can experiencing the death of a loved one be a part of religious experiences? Can science explain religious knowledge? What do believers and non-believers of various stripes say about religious experiences? Do religious experiences inevitably lead to mysticism? Is it sufficient to explain them as psychological or neurophysiological phenomena? In what ways does the philosophy of religion explain religious experiences?
\nPapers may adopt various perspectives\, such as critical\, descriptive\, theoretical\, comparative\, historical\, phenomenological\, etc.\, concerning religious experiences. In addition\, papers can explore the interaction between the philosophy of religion and religious experiences\, religious or spiritual experiences--their diverse theoretical frameworks--or they can develop new theories based on these experiences.

Key elements of the programme are expert lectures\, paper presentations by the students and individual tutoring by the faculty. The UCSIA Summer School 2024\, titled God on Our Side? Questioning Theological Narratives of Nationalism\, Populism and Conservatism\, \;marks the start of a three-year cycle of summer schools\, focused on the entanglements of religion and politics\, the communities in which they take shape and function\, and the injustices they entail or critique.
\nIn the 21st century\, new forms of nationalism\, populism and conservatism are emerging. They take shape at the intersection of historical\, geopolitical\, socio-economic as well as religious developments and discourses\, with theological justifications of nationalist discourses playing an important role in the framing of national identities and the &lsquo\;Other&rsquo\;. An analysis of such &lsquo\;theological nationalism&rsquo\; and religiously inspired politics is crucial to discerning the religious dimensions of contemporary politics and their global resonance.
\nConcepts of theological and political nature have always been reciprocally negotiated\; their entangled histories have shaped and continue to shape communities and societies in practice\, with diverging concrete effects. By bringing the different disciplines of the human sciences into dialogue with theology\, this summer school will explore the dynamic exchange of concepts\, ideas and assumptions between the theological and the political realm\, that contribute to constructing a nationalist identity. Furthermore\, attention will be paid to the racialization of religion\, theological and religious nationalism\, populism and conservatism and economic theologies. At the other end of the political spectrum\, certain forms of socialism and solidarity are based on (secularized) religious or spiritual concepts such as &lsquo\;progress&rsquo\;\, which &ndash\; according to Karl Lö\;with &ndash\; is the modern\, secularized guise of the Christian theological concept of &lsquo\;hope&rsquo\;.
\nDoctoral and postdoctoral students with a research interest in religion are invited to apply to the summer school by submitting a research paper. Papers may address\, but are not limited to the following questions: \;

\nWORKSHOP:  \;
\n&ldquo\;Like a Face Drawn in Sand at the Edge of the Sea.&rdquo\; Vicissitudes of the Posthuman Forty Years After Foucault&rsquo\;s Death.
\n \;
\nDoes man really exist? To imagine\, for an instant\, what the world and thought and truth might be if man did not exist\, is considered to be merely indulging in paradox. This is because we are so blinded by the recent manifestation of man that we can no longer remember a time &ndash\; and it is not so long ago &ndash\; when the world\, its order\, and human beings existed\, but man did not. \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;
\nM. Foucault\, The Order of Things
\n \;
\nForty years after Foucault's death and sixty after the publication of An Archaeology of the Human Sciences\, we would like to invite you to interrogate the posthuman as an open problem and process on the historical and epistemic level. In particular\, we would like to discuss whether and how historiographical and methodological issues pertaining to the archeological project have been transformed\, scaled down\, transposed or partially resolved today.
\nThe Order of Things wished to show the emergence and disappearance of the configurations of knowledge in their empirical arising. Among them\, we see man taking his ambivalent place as both mysterious object and sovereign subject of western knowledge\, only to soon disappear along the lines of the image we captured in the title. But\, however deferred\, historiographical and epistemological problems return incessantly\, questioning the status of discontinuities in the archaeological project: what backdrop would be able to account for both the emerging and the fading away of orders of identities and differences? To what logic do their mutations respond? What explanation is offered?
\nAccording to the archaeological instance\, posthuman is then manifestly not a condition of existence but an open process: the uncertain outcome of the mutations of these conditions of possibility\, of their precipitation.
\nWhat does it mean to question this diagnostic today? What mutations have taken place or struggle to do so? What are the stakes? Would it be legitimate to say that today we speak from the space of knowledge left vacant by the disappearance of the figure of western knowledge that gave rise to the humanities?
\nThe workshop's aim would be to draw a map\, though bound to be partial\, fragmentary and mobile\, of a range of practices both in research and in applied fields related to the tools forged in the debate pertaining to posthumanism. This could be done\, on the one hand\, by exploring the current functioning of the toolbox elaborated by the thinker in the 1960s and early 1970s\, and on the other hand\, by interrogating the way in which these tools have been brought into contact and fruitful interaction with different theoretical inputs and epistemic and political instances (feminist\, anti-racist\, queer\, post-colonial\, ecological\, a.o.).
\nWe look forward to your contribution!
\nPlease submit the title and abstract (no more than 500 words) of your contribution by April 15th\, 2024\, to https://emorob.fss.muni.cz/conferences/2024-foucault40 or by email to: Foucault40Brno@muni.cz

\nThe Handbook of the Philosophies of America
\nBloomsbury Academic
\nDetails
\nBloomsbury is soliciting contributions to The Handbook of the Philosophies of America that will be a research guide to accompany The Philosophies of America Reader\, edited by Kim Dí\;az and Mathew Foust in 2021.
\nThe Philosophies of America Reader made a significant contribution to the rapidly expanding field of Inter-American philosophy by anthologizing a collection of texts by African American\, Asian American\, Native American\, Caribbean\, and Latin American philosophers that represents the full breadth of philosophy across the Americas. The accompanying handbook will collect new research that will expand upon and support this pluralistic approach to American philosophy\, making it more accessible to researchers\, educators and university students.
\nWhile scholars of American philosophy have expanded the canon of American philosophy in recent decades\, the challenge of engaging primary texts persists. Scholars interested in contributing to Inter-American research and instructors committed to greater representation in class material often lack the adequate background to do so responsibly. To that end\, this handbook will collect new essays\, written by young and established scholars working at the forefront of this expanding field\, that guide the reader towards a clearer understanding of a broadly conceived American philosophy.
\nThe 25-30 entries that will comprise this handbook would be grouped by the same five-part structure as ThePhilosophies of America Reader anthology:
\nPart I:  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Selfhood and Identity
Part II:  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Knowing and Learning
Part III:  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Aesthetics and Spirituality
Part IV:  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Ethics and Community
Part V:  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Violence and Peace
Entries might engage deeply with a particular significant text or thinker or they might contextualize critical debates and movements across American philosophies. A range of methodologies\, theories and approaches are welcome\, so long as they contribute to the understanding of a wide range of North and Latin American philosophical thought. Potential contributors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the anthology before crafting an essay.
\nSubmission details:
\nLength: \;We are currently soliciting abstracts of 150-250 words. Final entries will be between 7\,000 and 10\,000 words.
\nTopic: \;Each essay should have a clearly stated focus that relates directly to a topic\, debate or thinker present in The Philosophies of America Reader anthology. Essays might focus on a single primary text or might offer an overview of a relevant topic or debate.
\nStyle: \;This collection is intended to serve primarily as a research tool for scholars interested in the field of Inter-American philosophy. However\, depending on the submissions received\, it might also serve as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate or graduate classes. To that end\, submissions should strive to offer content that is valuable to a scholarly audience but also accessible to a student audience
\nSuggested Abstract Submission Structure: Abstracts should include a title that clearly describes the content of the essay as well as the texts or authors that are the focus of the essay. Example: &ldquo\;Educating Citizens Through Problems: Pedagogical Philosophies of Booker T. Washington and Aní\;sio Teixeira.&rdquo\; Abstracts should be clearly located within the five-part structure of the Dí\;az and Faust anthology. Finally\, it should outline the central theme\, argument or text that will be the focus of the essay and conclude with 5-10 keywords that categorize the essay.
\nDeadline for Abstract: \;April 15\, 2024
\nEstimated deadline for Submissions: September 1\, 2025
\nSend questions and submissions to the Volume Editor\, Terrance MacMullan\, at \;tmacmullan@ewu.edu . (Please send submissions as Word ( .docx ) documents).

This includes\, but is not limited to: Structuralism\, Post-Structuralism\, Deconstruction\, Psychoanalysis\, Genealogy\, Philosophy of Technics\, and Postcolonial &\; Diasporic Philosophy. \;
\nThis conference also intends to celebrate\, honor\, and reflect upon the distinctive contributions of LSU philosophers to contemporary French philosophy over the past 35 years\, including the work of É\;douard Glissant (LSU\, 1988-1993)\, John Protevi (LSU\, 1994-2023)\, Marc Froment-Meurice (LSU\, 1995-1996)\, and Franç\;ois Raffoul (LSU\, 2000-2023). Recognizing the precious and precarious francophone connections of the state of Louisiana\, and its investments in humanistic traditions tied to French thought and cultures\, we seek to affirm the important contributions of our colleagues and our continued commitment to forging new connections between institutions\, individuals and scholarly research networks. \;
\nWhat does it mean to inherit\, extend\, incorporate and even break with the distinct philosophical practices associated with French philosophy? \; We welcome\, in particular\, contributions that explore the work of Glissant\, Protevi\, and Raffoul and the papers that explore the generativity of feminist\, decolonial\, and critical approaches to French philosophy.
\nWe accept papers in French or English in these broad streams:

\nThe historian capable of fanning the spark of hope\, for Walter Benjamin\, is a historical materialist. Distinguishing between Materialist historiography and historicism\, Benjamin praises the former\, as it ruptures the continuity of history and dares to redeem both past and future. If historicism is in the service of the victor\, the task of the historical materialist is to uncover forgotten traditions of the oppressed. However\, this work is not simply remembering the past\; it is critically reconstructing and arranging the given in the "Jetztzeit\," thus creating and producing meanings and\, finally\, newly experiencing. In this context\, Benjamin unfolds his theory from the position of a historian\, a philosopher\, a critic\, a creator\, or none of the above. With these thoughts in mind and many more\, this graduate conference re-visits Benjamin\, re-approaching his legacy through the vexed questions of contemporary theory. Namely\, what is the task of theorists today? How has theory changed under late capitalism since Benjamin's own critiques? Do Benjamin's writings (or those inspired by him) offer ways to overcome the atomization and alienation of the neoliberal subject? In a nutshell\, what is the applicability of Benjamin for a new generation of theory?
\nBenjamin offers a historically situated form of critique that produces experience as a &ldquo\;multiplicity of knowledges&rdquo\; to critically address our present. In keeping with the task to engage our present moment from a multiplicity of knowledges\, we invite papers and presentations\, regardless of discipline\, that engage Benjamin and contemporary theory.
\nThe Annual Theory Conference endeavours to cultivate a forum for diverse engagement from graduate students and scholars with a broad range of backgrounds and approaches. This year we are seeking work that contributes to Benjamin's heritage and participates in critical debate across philosophy\, politics\, media\, arts\, literature and all other relevant disciplines. \;

\nTea has played a significant role in fostering cultural exchange between different regions and traditions throughout history. While tea has taken root in various forms in many cultures\, mos are likely to associate the practice with China\, its progenitor\, or Japan\, its cultivator. Yet\, tea has a strong global presence and has flourished within Great Britain\, the Americas\, parts of Africa\, Turkey and in Russia to name a few. \;
\nOur conference\, \;Thinking with Tea &ndash\; Cross-cultural Reflections \;aims to explore these myriad forms tea has taken where it has flourished. Specifically\, as our title suggests\, the conference&rsquo\;s goal is to \;think with \;tea: In which ways has tea inspired thinking and how can these ways of thinking inform philosophy in the present? Further\, \;we invite interrogation of the limits of philosophical thinking from the point of view of tea as a corporeal practice that operates beyond/before/between thought and its propositional analysis and forms of truth. The aim of the conference is thus twofold: To explore philosophical thought in relation to tea from the historical perspective\, and to investigate how ways of thinking with tea can be put into practice within philosophy. \;
\nThe conference \;Thinking with Tea \;encourages scholars to think geographically in broad terms about and with tea. As such\, scholars are encouraged to draw from their own cultural and philosophical backgrounds to create novel philosophical approaches to thinking with tea.
\nThe submissions may concern\, without being limited to\, the following themes:
\nTea culture\, history of tea\, and the philosophy of tea in the various regions where it has taken root.
\nNovel and creative applications of tea practice into/as philosophical thinking.
\nPhilosophical reflections on the meaning of tea in everyday life.
\nEthical\, aesthetic\, existential or phenomenological analysis and/or critique of tea practice \;
\nThe role of women\, feminist analysis and gender narratives in tea cultures \;
\nInter-cultural dialogue between tea practice and/or tea philosophy.
\nCritical interrogation into tea practice and issues of gender\, race\, class and colonialism. \; \;
\nPhilosophic
\nal interpretations of major figures/masters\, aesthetic or practice innovators in tea history. \; \;
\nExploration into actual or possible innovations in contemporary tea practice and their philosophical implications. \; \;
\nDepiction of the tea ceremony in art\, cinema\, literature\, and contemporary media

\nPuncta. Journal of Critical Phenomenology
\nSpecial Issue: &ldquo\;Critical Phenomenology of the We&rdquo\;
\n-
\nTheme
\nPhenomenology offers not only incisive analyses of intentionality\, experience\, selfhood\, empathy and interpersonal understanding\, but also quite sophisticated investigations of collective intentionality\, affective sharing\, social participation\, communal experience\, and group-identity. Indeed\, while starting out with an interest in the individual mind\, phenomenologists began exploring dyadic forms of interpersonal relations shortly before the start of World War I\, and were deeply engaged in extensive analyses of communal forms of intentionality during the interwar period &ndash\; at a time when nationalism was on the rise. Today\, the "We" has not lost its place in philosophical\, political\, or popular discourse. Within the last decade\, phenomenologists have shown how phenomenology can contribute to the &ldquo\;discovery of the We&rdquo\; (Szanto &\; Moran 2016). These explorations have rediscovered lesser known early phenomenological writings on sociality by Gerda Walther\, Edith Stein\, Max Scheler or Aaron Gurwitsch and highlighted their relevance for contemporary problems in social cognition theory and analytic social ontology. Phenomenological approaches to sociality\, we-experiences\, and community\, however\, too-often concern themselves with ideal social ontological entities rather than the non-ideal social reality we find ourselves in.
\nA critical phenomenology of the We explores new lines of questioning at the intersection of phenomenology of sociality and critical phenomenology\, putting pressure on the allegedly neutral and unpolitical nature of the recent phenomenological discovery of the We. This special issue serves the purpose of demonstrating how critical perspectives both on and within phenomenological analyses can be enriching for philosophical discussions of the We and sociality more broadly. Taking critical phenomenology as the guiding methodology\, we foreground the constitutive significance that lived experiences of marginalisation\, exclusion\, social identity\, conflict\, ambiguity\, and asymmetry have on experiencing ourselves as part of a We. How does the recent critical turn in phenomenology support\, extend\, qualify\, or challenge phenomenological analyses of sociality? How can phenomenological descriptions of social phenomena point out pathways for social and political transformation and change? A critical phenomenology of the We investigates the question of &ldquo\;who are we?&rdquo\; as socially situated\, historically contextualised\, and culturally specific subjects.
\nWe encourage original submissions on the theme Critical Phenomenology of the We which critically engage with themes found within both classical and contemporary phenomenological discussions of the We. We particularly encourage submissions that speak to one (or more) of the following lines of inquiry:
\n(1) For one\, we are looking for contributions that take a clear starting point in lived experiences and real-life cases. Possible themes for such inquiries are\, but not limited to\, the ways in which group identity informs\, obscures\, and motivates acts of discrimination\, normalisation\, and oppression\; how feelings of belonging and community are manufactured for exploitative ends\, the role of collective memory and collective imagination for marginalised and historically oppressed groups\; how narratives are collectively constructed to both hide and bring to light past and present injustices and their complex temporality.
\n(2) We also welcome papers that critically engage with classical and contemporary debates on the 'we'. How might we challenge and contest the valuing of community over society we find in Husserl\, Walther\, and Stein? How has the paradigm of European culture shaped the debate and how might we look beyond it? Do phenomenological analyses of second person engagement overlook the constitutive significance of the third person?
\n(3) Finally\, we are interested in contributions that show the relevance of analyses from early 20th century phenomenology for contemporary debates within the philosophy of sociality. Besides the likes of Merleau-Ponty\, Fanon\, Beauvoir\, and Sartre\, how can the likes of Edith Stein\, Gerda Walther\, Max Scheler\, and Aron Gurwitsch enrich recent more political engagements with the phenomenological method? In what sense can the \; homeworld/alienworld distinction in Husserl&rsquo\;s generative phenomenology help us make sense of concrete intergroup dynamics?
\nWith these themes in mind\, a (non-exhaustive) list of possible topics to be examined under a phenomenological lens is:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; The We of political movements\, protest\, and resistance
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Group\, collective and social identities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Group antagonisms and modes of domination
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Inter- and intragroup relations of solidarity and care
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; The role of the 'Them' or the 'Third in the constitution of the 'We'
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Asymmetrical reciprocity\, empathy\, and language breakdowns
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Critiques of the relation between familiarity and strangeness
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Feelings of (non-)belonging
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective imagination and memory
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Shared narratives of political\, cultural\, and transgenerational communities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; National and transnational identities in classical and contemporary phenomenology
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Questioning the We of philosophy and academia

This is an experiment and an exciting historic moment\, offering a chance to participate without the burdens of traveling and without causing significant environmental damage. Philosophers for Sustainability is organizing a Climate Hub as one strand of the conference\, similar to the Teaching Hub at recent APA conferences\, with a combination of invited and submitted sessions on a range of topics connected to both philosophy and climate change. We aim especially to make progress in practice toward addressing the climate crisis through teaching\, curriculum development\, event organizing\, public philosophy\, and institutional change. \;
\nWe are inviting proposals for the inaugural APA Climate Hub. \;Proposals should be at most 500 words. To submit a proposal\, please follow the link below to the conference website and submit your proposal using \;the submission form there.
\nPossible subjects of proposals include\, but are not limited to: \;
\nProposals \;may include: (1) project presentations showcasing past or current initiatives or projects relating to any of the above themes\; (2) pitch-to-peers presentations for new project ideas requiring collaboration\; (3) interactive workshops or other activities designed to foster discussion of a particular aspect of philosophers&rsquo\; responses to climate change. All proposals should focus primarily on current and future changes in the practice of philosophy. Research papers defending theoretical claims should be submitted to the APA main program\, and will not be considered for the Climate Hub. Presenters should plan for a session length of 35 minutes\, including discussion. \;
\nWe especially welcome submissions from indigenous philosophers\, philosophers of color\, women\, and members of other frontline populations disproportionately impacted by climate change. Please note: It is the policy of the APA that all those attending sessions\, including speakers\, commentators\, and session chairs\, are required to be current APA members and to register for each meeting they attend. \; \;
\nProposals are due by May 1\, 2024. Notifications will be sent by June 1\, 2024.

\nAfter an unfortunate silence\, Kairos\, Journal of Philosophy &\; Science\, sends out a renewed Call for Papers. For opening this new chapter of the journal\, we choose to focus on the concept of &ldquo\;resistance&rdquo\;. We believe that this concept matches Kairos&rsquo\; aim of dealing with philosophical topics of major concern in the contemporary scientific and social realms.
We understand the concept of resistance according to a broad meaning spectrum: from scientific to naturalistic uses\, referring to the resilience and fitness of a body\, to the description of sophisticated social and political attitudes.
We would like to open the pages of Kairos\, Journal of Philosophy &\; Science for your reflections on the theoretical complexity of this concept of "resistance". Aware of the many names and nicknames that surround the concept of resistance &minus\; dissidence\, contestation\, protest\, civil disobedience\, insurrection\, revolt\, rebellion\, rejection\, and also resilience\, adaptability\, flexibility\, reaction\, opposition\, reluctance\, etc. &minus\; we invite contributions that aim at shedding light on the theoretical and practical levels of the concept of resistance\, in its epistemological\, political\, ontological\, aesthetical dimensions. What does it mean to resist today? What do we need to resist today? \; What forms can resistance take today? What new names does resistance adopt today? And which old ones has it\, or should it shed?

Isaac Levi (June 30\, 1930-December 25\, 2018) was an American philosopher and the John Dewey Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Columbia University. Levi made a name for himself with his first book\, \;Gambling with Truth \;(A. Knopf 1967\, MIT Press 1973). In the text\, Levi offered a decision-theoretic reconstruction of epistemology with a close eye toward the classical pragmatist philosophers like William James and Charles Sanders Peirce. Levi was known for his work in belief revision and imprecise probability. Particularly significant among his later books are \;The Enterprise of Knowledge \;(MIT Press 1980) and \;Hard Choices \;(Cambridge University Press 1986). Levi was one of several doctoral students of Ernest Nagel who were influential in American post-war philosophy\, including Morton White\, Patrick Suppes\, Henry E. Kyburg\, Jr.\, and Frederic Schick. Levi also served as doctoral advisor to prominent formal philosophers\, including Teddy Seidenfeld\, Horacio Arló\;-Costa\, and Eleonora Cresto. The author of seven books and dozens of articles\, Levi received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1957 and taught there from 1970 until his retirement in 2007. \;  \; Levi's full bibliography is available for download as a PDF linked from the following site:  \;http://www.journalofphilosophy.org/leviprize.html

Balkan Analytic Forum 2
\n(October 10-20\, 2024 University of Belgrade\, Serbia)
\nWe invite submissions for the second meeting of Balkan Analytic Forum organized by the University of Belgrade to be held in person and online in October 2024.
\nBalkan Analytic Forum is intended to establish a platform for discussion where scholars related to the Balkans and interested in analytic philosophy can meet on a regular basis and present their work-in-progress or recent publications\, but it also welcomes approaches that draw connections between analytic philosophy and other philosophical traditions.
\nThe topic of the second meeting of the Balkan Analytic Forum (BAF2) is "Dispositions" and it will be hosted by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Belgrade\, Serbia from October 10-20\, 2024.
\nThe first part of the conference "Dispositions" will take place from October 10-13\, 2024\, the second "Dispositions and Values" from October 19-20. However\, the period between will be open to other events\, such as individual talks related to dispositions.
\nWe welcome submissions that consider the broad theme of "dispositions" in all its forms\, and from all perspectives. We are especially interested in the following themes: \;  \;
\n- epistemic dispositions
\n- simple and complex dispositions
\n- aesthetic dispositions
\n- dispositions and ethics
\n- logic of dispositional terms
\n- habits and dispositions
\n- occurrent and dispositional properties.
\nThe discourse surrounding the function and significance of dispositions concerning values has been a topic of considerable discussion in scholarly circles. Given the profound influence exerted by the dispositional theory of values within moral philosophy and aesthetics\, this heightened interest is hardly unexpected. At its most fundamental level\, value is understood as inherently constituted by an agent's intrinsic disposition to ascribe value to the object under consideration. Within the second part of the conference &ndash\; "Disposition and Values" &ndash\; we aspire to make a meaningful contribution to this ongoing debate.
\nProposals are to be sent to \;baf@f.bg.ac.rs \;as anonymous abstracts (maximum 500 words) and a separate title page by May 2\, 2024. The title page should include: title\, name\, institutional affiliation\, email\, and an indication of whether you would like to present in person. Also\, please let us know if your submission is for the first part of the conference "Dispositions"\, or for the second "Dispositions and Values"\, or is intended to be an individual talk in-between the two events.
\nDecisions will be communicated by May 30\, 2024.
\nThe authors of accepted submissions will be invited to contribute papers to an edited volume. \;
\nThe conference is hybrid (online and in-person)\, free and open to the public.

We also ask what the academic discipline of philosophy (and the philosophers therein) might gain from better understanding these practices. To that end\, we ask questions such as: What is the function of storytelling in Indigenous knowledge? Do practices of storytelling necessarily clash with other (more dominant) knowledge practices? What would it take to reconcile the deep differences between them fairly? What would it take for the academic discipline to include (and enable) diverse methods of inquiry (such as storytelling)? What limits\, if any\, are there to how non-indigenous philosophers use Indigenous knowledge-making practices such as stories in their work? And\, what ethical and trust-based issues arise at the intersections of Indigenous storytelling and mainstream scientific practice?

Among the atheists\, this issue has been considered as evidence for the confirmation of atheism. Many thinkers in the contemporary era have dealt with this issue and have tried to answer this question and face this issue with the support of their intellectual foundations. The philosophy of religion\, on the one hand\, is responsible for investigating the philosophical validity of these questions. On the other hand\, it is committed to evaluating the answers to this question and various encounters with it. The twelfth annual conference on the contemporary philosophy of religion tries to show what unexpected confrontations can arise by looking at the problem of evil from new angles. What is the relationship between the different Western encounters on this issue and Islamic attitudes?
\nTopics include\, but are not restricted to the following:
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Different Concepts of Evil and their relation to the Problem of Evil

\nWestern philosophy has left a long-standing legacy of focusing on humans\, albeit they share the planet with all sorts of creatures\, visible or invisible\, vegetal or animal. While all these organisms have been deemed of little significance in the Western tradition\, their importance and role in shaping ecosystems and environments\, as well as in influencing climate\, geography\, and health\, are increasingly recognized. While the idea that &ldquo\;all species live in a state of relation with others&rdquo\; may appear new to some\, the idea that humans cannot be separated from their environment\, from &lsquo\;nature\,&rsquo\; is self-evident in various Eastern and indigenous cultures.
\nWith this conference\, we want to bring together the variety of strands that have been overshadowed by Western philosophy. We welcome abstract submissions and presentations on any topic related to non-Western philosophies and the environment broadly construed.
\nTopics may include\, but are not exhausted by:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Non-Western bio- and environmental ethics
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Indigenous views on pollution and other environmental issues
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Buen Vivir \, Tzu-jan\, hozho and others
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Comparison/analysis between non-Western and Western theories
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Relationship between science and philosophy (from non-Western perspectives)
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Application of Non-dualism in science and environment
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Relationships between humans and nature (animals\, plants\, the environment\, etc.)
\nAbstracts from scholars from within and outside of philosophy are welcome as long as they engage such philosophical issues. We hope to bring together scholars from a variety of fields\, such as philosophy\, sustainability sciences\, social sciences\, environmental humanities\, and biology\, to present their work and discuss environmental issues from non-western philosophical perspectives. We particularly welcome researchers coming from non-western countries.
\nPlease send your abstract (300-500 words) via email to non.western@uantwerpen.be \;  \;
Abstracts should be suitable for a 15-20-minute presentation followed by discussions and Q&\;A.

\n--------------------------------------
\nTHEORETICAL BACKGROUND
\nDivinity in some theistic (or theistically inclined) Indian religions is often conceived monotheistically\, as a supreme OmniGod (much like in Western accounts of God). Monotheistic conceptions of God occur in Śaivism\, Śaktism\, Vaiṣṇavism\, Sikhism as well as Indian reiterations of Islam\, Christianity and Zoroastrianism. There are also arguably monotheistic concepts of God given by the Indian philosophical schools (darṣanas)\, such as Vedānta\, Nyāya\, Mīmāṃsā\, and Yoga.
\nDespite the evidence for a general Indian religious disposition towards monotheism\, Indian concepts of God can exhibit certain peculiarities that distance them from the traditional idea of monotheism. For example\, some Indian conceptions of God revolve around God&rsquo\;s being united with the world and finite conscious beings in various ways. This is the heart of the famous Vedānta debate about the relationship between Brahman - the ultimate conscious reality - and the rest of existence\, and of a wide variety of theistic views on the relation between ultimate conscious reality and the world. Interpretations range through idealism\, qualified monism\, dualism\, and a mixture of monism and dualism (as in the different theories of bhedābheda\, or difference and non-difference).
\nThe reference to consciousness (in the expressions &ldquo\;conscious beings&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;ultimate conscious reality&rdquo\;) is not gratuitous. Philosophical Indian traditions such as Vedānta and Sāṅkhya have developed sophisticated ontological views on consciousness. These views have strongly influenced and been influenced by Indian theistic traditions. For example\, in the Bhavagad Gītā - a key Vedānta text strongly informed by Sāṅkhya (or proto-Sāṅkhya) thought - matter is seemingly given a cognitive aspect that somehow intermediates the conscious experience of ordinary living beings. But the Gītā also says that God is the source (prabhava) of consciousness and matter. While matter and consciousness are fundamental aspects of reality\, in God they have a common ontological ground. Depending on how a specific theistic tradition interprets this\, its concept of God might imply some kind of theory of consciousness.
\nAgainst this background\, two sets of questions arise\, which in current debates are often overlooked or are only partially addressed. The first relates to the nature and tenability of concepts of God\; the second concerns the nature of consciousness. On the first set of questions\, one might ask:
\n- Can certain concepts of God in Indian traditions really be regarded monotheistic in the Western sense of the term?
\n- Or are they closer to panentheism\, theistic pantheism\, henotheism or polytheism?
\n- What divine properties do the traditions ascribe to their respective divinity or sets of divinity?
\n- Can the corresponding concepts of God be described in a consistent way?
\n- Is it sensible to presuppose that they should be describable in such a way?
\n- Do any of these concepts of God possess an advantage over Western philosophical accounts of God?
\nOn the second set of questions\, it could be asked:
\n- Which views on consciousness are presupposed by Indian concepts of God?
\n- How can these views be philosophically articulated?
\n- What are their advantages and disadvantages compared to standard accounts of consciousness found in Western analytical philosophy?
\n- Furthermore\, are these accounts compatible with a scientific worldview?
\n- Can the concept of God contribute to a scientifically consistent theory of consciousness?

\nAim and theoretical background
\nThe aim of the international workshop Philosophical Anthropology and Biology: Between History and Evolution is to find a new answer to the old question: who is the Human and what does it mean to be human? In what position is the Human in relation to other organisms on Earth? Can we philosophically think of the animal as a category\, or do we need a nuanced approach to different species and entire taxa? How does the Umwelt term resonate with current approaches to the interaction between an organism and its environment? The basic framework for the relevant considerations will be the approaches of the leading thinkers of Philosophical Anthropology\, who had an overlap with the biological disciplines\, or whose disciplinary background was directly based on them (Plessner\, Buytendijk\, Portmann\, Goldstein\, Grene).
\nPhilosophical anthropology as a specific paradigm was founded by a lecture given by Max Scheler in Darmstadt on the theme of Sonderstellung des Menschen (&ldquo\;The Special Position of the Human&rdquo\;) in 1927. The founders of this movement believed that while animals fully belong to the sphere of nature and their behavior is subject to firm rules\, Human is characterized by the sphere of culture (associated with symbols\, the use of language\, morality)\, where free acts are possible\, as opposed to instinctive behavior. At the same time\, they wanted to distinguish themselves from the adherents of German idealist philosophy\, which posited an unbridgeable gap between the human being and the natural world. Therefore\, the goal of German philosophical anthropology was to stress the anthropological difference not through the identification of a specific ontological element\, but through the determination of the qualitative difference that presents human&rsquo\;s relationship with the sphere of life. In other words\, the human differs from the relational mode that characterizes other living beings and\, in particular\, animals. In this framework\, many philosophers used Uexkü\;ll&rsquo\;s concept of Umwelt precisely to describe the operational context of animal being\, that is\, to elaborate the theoretical background from which to determine (by opposition) the human Sonderstellung. Uexkü\;ll&rsquo\;s thought\, which is characterized by a substantial continuity between human and animal\, was thus employed against his intentions to draw a clear distinction between the environmental constraint of animals (Umweltgebundenheit) and the openness to the world (Weltoffenheit) of humans. Similarly but not identically\, Scheler\, Plessner\, Gehlen\, Buytendijk and Portmann emphasized then the closed nature of animal environments\, to which they opposed the human capacity to open up to the world.
\nDuring the second half of the 20th century\, philosophical anthropology became a mainstream philosophical movement and\, thanks to its interdisciplinary reach\, it now plays a significant pedagogical role in university philosophy departments. At the same time\, however\, as it drew closer to other disciplines in the humanities\, its links to biological sciences (the backgrounds of Plessner\, Buytendijk\, and Portmann were in academic biology) weakened\, just as their development began to rapidly increase. An effort to update the foundations of philosophical anthropology in light of results from current comparative cognitive research was clearly shown in 2014 when the Helmuth Plessner Award was given to Michael Tomasello. Tomasello holds a naturalistic perspective\, but as he includes the emergence of phenomena such as normativity and the use of symbols in natural history\, his methodology does not exclude approaches from the humanities. However\, the comparative cognitive project of searching for the anthropological difference has been questioned by certain representatives of cognitive ethology (de Waal)\, cultural primatology (Boesch)\, and biosemiotics (Magnus &\; Kull)\, through the phenomenon of animal cultures. In assessing the relevance of these objections\, one must also consider that Uexkü\;ll&rsquo\;s concept of Umwelt\, which is foundational to philosophical anthropology&rsquo\;s theory of life\, came to be inspirational for both classical ethology and\, in recent decades\, for biosemiotics\, which has gained significance in biological research. In the process\, new potentials of this model have been revealed\, as have new questions\, and the interpretation of humans living in an &ldquo\;open world&rdquo\; and animals being closed in a species-specific environment has been increasingly questioned.
\nMethodology and research topics
\nBased on this historical and theoretical background\, the workshop Philosophical Anthropology and Biology: Between History and Evolution will create an interdisciplinary platform for discussing the intersections and tensions between philosophical anthropology\, philosophical biology\, and evolutionary approaches. The interdisciplinary focus of the workshop calls for a plurality of methodological approaches: a) the cultural-historical perspective of philosophical anthropology\, b) evolutionary approaches going beyond neo-Darwinism (e.g. extended evolutionary synthesis\, biosemiotics\, evolutionary anthropology)\, c) empirical findings from developmental and comparative psychology\, as well as cognitive ethology.
\nThe contributions should tackle some of the following research questions:
\na) Philosophical anthropology: past and present
\nWhat do Plessner\, Buytendijk\, Portmann\, Goldstein\, Grene and other proponents of Philosophical Anthropology say about animals and humans? How do these approaches differ from Uexkü\;ll&rsquo\;s original formulation of the animal/human environment (Umwelt)? Is it possible to formulate the concepts of philosophical anthropology and philosophical biology independently of the findings and theories of the evolutionary approaches? In what relation is Plessner's concept of eccentric positionality to the empirical approaches of the cognitive and social sciences? \;
\nb) Anthropological difference
\nIn what ways exactly does the human differ from the rest of the animal kingdom\, and what impact does this difference have on our understanding of the human? Is it useful to look for an 'anthropinum'\, i.e. a single constitutive human characteristic? How are exceptionally human attributes (e.g.\, language\, rationality\, morality\, cumulative culture) related? Does it still make sense to hold the nature/culture dichotomy in the case of humans? What is the relationship between evolution and history in the search for the biological precursors and relatives (e.g. Neanderthals) of humans?
\nc) Developmental and comparative approaches
\nWhat is the relationship between the theoretical foundations and empirical findings of current anthropogenesis programmes (e.g. Tomasello\, Laland)? What do they bring that is new in relation to the program of philosophical anthropology? Are they burdened by a preconceived notion of the cultural and cognitive superiority of Homo sapiens (vs. de Waal's evolutionary cognition)? What does the discovery of so-called animal cultures mean for philosophical anthropology? Do we have the philosophical concepts to think about the degrees of sociality in different animal species?

Bernstein: Reconsidering Pragmatism as a Living Movement UID:20240328T171310Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS  \;
\nSpecial Issue of The Pluralist Dedicated to Richard J. Bernstein:
\nReconsidering Pragmatism as a Living Movement  \;  \;
\nThe Pluralist is calling for papers for a special issue dedicated to philosopher Richard J. Bernstein. We envision this special issue to honor the life and legacy of Bernstein through a continuation of his philosophical spirit and unfinished work.  \;
\nIn Spring 2022\, Bernstein taught American Pragmatism for the last time. In the year leading up to his final semester\, Bernstein said something shifted for him in the way he understood pragmatism. He was planning on writing about this shift in his thinking in an essay he would sometimes refer to as &ldquo\;Bernstein on Bernstein&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;Pragmatism Reconsidered.&rdquo\; While he did not have the chance to write the essay he had envisioned\, he did articulate his thoughts throughout that final semester.  \; He wanted to rethink three key distortions which he thought were obscuring more rich engagements with pragmatism. \;  \;
\nFirst\, he was concerned with the tendency towards essentialist definitions of pragmatism which invite the question of who really counts as a pragmatist. While of course there are important themes that have emerged (e.g. anti-foundationalism\, fallibilism\, a kind of systematic rejection of Cartesianism\, the meaning and failures of democracy\, etc.) Bernstein felt there were no core set of commitments that one could say &ldquo\;this is what a pragmatist is.&rdquo\; \;  \;
\nThe second distortion he was concerned with was a sort of canonization that followed from these essentialist definitions. In understanding the ways in which pragmatism developed\, he felt it was important to remember that much of its richness was in fact due to the lack of disciplinary boundaries in American universities at that time\, and ongoing conversations with activists and intellectuals outside of academia. In particular\, he felt that the canonization of pragmatism excluded the role of women and Black thinkers\, and that in these areas we had to rethink what pragmatism was about\, who it included\, and look toward a deeper understanding of not only their intellectual\, but also their social and political interests. \;  \;
\nFinally\, he wanted to recall the critical element to pragmatism that he felt Dewey was so sensitive in defending. Dewey thought the Europeans had misinterpreted pragmatism as a glorification of America\, rather than what he felt it was&mdash\;a kind of ultimate critique of America\, where critique is based on a kind of understanding. \;  \;
\nTo be clear\, on Bernstein&rsquo\;s definition\, reconsidering pragmatism is not a simple expansion of the canon or an exercise in who should or should not count as a pragmatist. Rather it is something different altogether&mdash\;to see if we can understand pragmatism not as a cannon at all\, but rather as a living\, evolving movement. Reconsidering pragmatism should be understood as a renewed pragmatist commitment to challenging disciplinary boundaries\, challenging our assumptions\, continued learning\, growth\, and to keep trying to find and create new ways to move forward. \;
\nWe invite those who are interested in reconsidering pragmatism along the lines that Bernstein envisioned / articulated to submit essays for consideration to be published in this special issue of The Pluralist.
\nWe are particularly looking for submissions that speak to one (or more) of the following lines of inquiry: \;  \;
\n●Historical essays\, reconsidering entrenched narratives to bring in previously overlooked voices\, movements\, or thinkers from outside of philosophy or academia  \;
\n●Contemporary applications or uptake of pragmatic themes by socio-political movements \;  \;
\n●Reconsidering the philosophical implications of understanding pragmatism not as a cannon but as a living\, evolving movement \;  \;
\nWe also welcome papers that engage directly with any of Bernstein&rsquo\;s works.  \;  \;
\nSubmission Guidelines \;  \;
\nEssays of 4\,000-6\,000 words are preferred\, although longer papers will be considered.
\nPlease include an abstract of 250-300 words at the top of your submission. \;  \;

Adam Smith in the 21th Century UID:20240328T171311Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/Bucharest LOCATION:Splaiul Independenței 204\, Bucharest\, Romania DESCRIPTION:CFP: From Wealth to Alienation. Adam Smith in the 21th Century
\nMay 17\, 2024
\nBefore the invention of the economy\, Adam Smith was an economist. Before the birth of sociology\, Adam Smith employed philosophical and political concepts to investigate the logic and regularities of a newly discovered reality: society. Before historicism\, Smith examined the historicity of norms\, sentiments\, values\, and forms of reproduction of life. Before Marxism or historical materialism\, Smith fused history with economic explanations in order to make sense of the variety of arrangements in human societies.
\nDecades before any formal and epistemic division of the fields of knowledge into various academic disciplines mutually delineated &ndash\; sociology\, anthropology\, history\, linguistics\, and so forth &ndash\;\, Adam Smith was addressing questions and formulating hypotheses nurtured by philosophy of history\, moral philosophy\, ethnography\, social thought\, politics\, law\, fiscality\, international relations\, aesthetics\, rhetoric and literary theory. At the dawn of capitalism\, Smith celebrated the possibilities of commercial society while nonetheless warily scrutinizing its alienating potential.
\nOne of the most quoted and misquoted writers\, Smith is enduringly reevaluated and reappropriated by scholars and influencers\, contextually or creatively.
\nThe conference invites philosophers\, historians\, economists\, literary scholars\, sociologists\, political scientists\, and not only\, to revisit Smith&rsquo\;s writings and confront them with their posterity.
\nSome of the possible themes and problems to be addressed could include the following:
\n- Adam Smith the thinker in the philosophical and historical context of his time
\n- Adam Smith&rsquo\;s philosophical economics: influences\, configurations\, and reconfigurations
\n- &lsquo\;The Adam Smith Problem&rsquo\;
\n- Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment
\n- The relationship between 20th century liberalism and Adam Smith
\n- The relationship between Marxism and Adam Smith
\n- Commerce\, debt\, and international relations
\n- Colonialism in Adam Smith&rsquo\;s writings
\n- Development\, ecology and Adam Smith
\n- History and the stadial theory of development
\n- Adam Smith&rsquo\;s moral philosophy in the context of British moral philosophy
\n- Recent interpretations of Adam Smith&rsquo\;s moral philosophy
\n- Aesthetics\, rhetoric\, and literary criticism in Adam Smith&rsquo\;s work
\n- Adam Smith&rsquo\;s views on education and its role in modern society
\nConveners: Veronica Lazăr (Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Bucharest) Ștefan-Sebastian Maftei (Faculty of History and Philosophy\, Babeș-Bolyai University)\, Ionuț Văduva (Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Bucharest)
