2024 Forum on Philosophy\, Engineering\, and Technology (17-19 September 2024)
\nCall for Submissions for fPET 2024
\nWe are delighted to invite you to the 2024 Forum on Philosophy\, Engineering\, and Technology (fPET 2024) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe\, Germany.
The fPET conference will take place from Tuesday 17th until Thursday 19thSeptember 2024.
An optional satellite workshop on Normative Energy Ethics follows on Friday 20th September 2024.
The conference will bring together researchers from the fields of engineering\, philosophy\, and neighboring disciplines such as technology assessment to address the theme of Understanding\, Assessing\, and Designing Responsible Futures. fPET 2024 will provide an opportunity to meet like-minded researchers\, and to present and discuss issues on the intersection of engineering and philosophy.
\nThe mission of fPET is to encourage reflection on engineering\, engineers\, and technology\; and to build bridges between existing organizations of philosophers\, engineers and scholars in related fields.
\nTopics
\nWe invite abstracts for paper presentations\, posters\, panels\, and experimental sessions on the following (broad) topics:
\nWe explicitly welcome proposals addressing new or underexplored topics\, the reflective submissions of engineers or other technology practitioners\, and abstracts of an interdisciplinary nature.
\nKeynote speakers
\nThe following keynote speakers have confirmed their presence:
\nTimeline
\nSatellite workshop on Normative Energy Ethics on Friday 20 September
\nThe day after the conference\, there will be a satellite workshop on Normative Energy Ethics. During this one-day event\, three invited experts will present ethical analyses of current energy policies in different geographical contexts. These three presentations will be followed by Q&\;A discussions and create opportunities for exploring further international research collaborations. This event will take place at the same venue as the fPET conference and all participants are welcome to join this workshop.
\nLocation
\nThe conference will be held in Karlsruhe as an in-person event. Throughout the conference hybrid-participation will be possible in one parallel-session and the plenary sessions. The other parallel-sessions will be in-person. A limited number of online talks is possible.
The conference venue is the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (https://zkm.de/en) and the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (https://hfg-karlsruhe.de/en/). Both are located in a listed industrial building\, a former munitions factory. The building houses under one roof: exhibition spaces\, the Hertz Lab\, and libraries\, thus combining research and production\, exhibitions and events\, archive and collection. The ZKM operates at the interface of art and science\, and addresses new knowledge in the area of new technologies.

During this week we invite collaborators who are interested in exploring an-other reality that can be writing. Not limited to linguistic practises. \;
\nwith&ndash\; Power is often understood along the lines of &lsquo\;power over&rsquo\;. But there is also a power-with. Heidegger talked about being in terms of a &lsquo\;being-with&rsquo\;. We would like to extend these distinctions towards the realm of art\, and writing in particular. What does it mean to write-with. Is it possible? What are the prerequisites\, what are the possible outcomes? We particularly invite experiments and failure. \;
\nAn-other &ndash\; Although the understanding that the individual&rsquo\;s identity and being relies on the relationality with the an-other/not-I is more and more acceptable in Western philosophy and the arts\, it remains an ephemeral concept that is riddled with prejudices. How to create a space in which an-other is neither othered nor destroyed by colonisation of the I? And more prominently\, how to do that within language\, within a linearity of text? How to deal with archives that lack the other-as-other as they write within systems of exclusion? How to deal with a text that is not one&rsquo\;s own? How to deal with a text an-other-you has written yesterday? \;
\n\\(m)/Other &ndash\; And yet there is also the possibility of compassion\, the raised arms of the (m)Other that does not know yet that all turn to for knowledge. The burden of proof is always shifted to those who already understand\, whose knowledge is earned through generations and emotional work\, and how to convey this to the Other that is never going to go through all of that? How is writing also a practise to be with one&rsquo\;s self\, raising arms in desperation and in prayer\, \\(m)/\, accessing something that lies between Truth and Life. \;
\n
Invitation
This is an invitation for exploration around these themes. We especially encourage workshops / interactive formats. We have a whole week together\, to write with an-other\\(m)/Other. Also very welcome to participate without presenting / giving a workshop. First-time experiments are as welcome as tested concepts. \;

\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \; 02-03 September 2024 \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;

\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

\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?

\nA special issue of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal
\nEdited by Quill Kukla and Rua Mae Williams
\nScholarship and self-advocacy concerning neurodiversity and madness in all their varieties have skyrocketed in recent years. We are starting to unpack the myriad ways in which people who think\, feel\, and experience differently from the socially recognized and enforced &ldquo\;norm&rdquo\; have varying distinctive capacities and face a variety of challenges. Many of these challenges are socially produced or enhanced\, even if they were formerly seen as built-in limitations &ldquo\;defective&rdquo\; individuals. While the relationship between neurodiversity and madness is complicated and itself contested and deserving of more exploration\, there are important commonalities and overlaps between them. Both neurodivergent and mad people face the twin challenges of potential over-medicalization and pathologization\, on the one hand\, and potential under-medicalization\, and blame for weakness or simply having a &ldquo\;poor character&rdquo\; on the other. Both groups have been both demonized and romanticized. Both groups encounter significant stigma and misunderstanding\, and are burdened by a legacy of low-quality\, cruel\, and biased science. Both groups fight for appropriate access to various spaces and institutions. Mad identities and neurodivergent identities are both intersectional\, interacting in complex ways with race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, class\, and employment status\, along with other axes. In particular\, many kinds of neurodivergence and madness are especially riddled by gendered stereotypes in our cultural imagination. And crucially\, many people find they meet sociocultural or diagnostic criteria for both madness and neurodiversity.
\nBoth neurodivergent people and mad people have of late formed vibrant communities that are sources of support\, activism\, and intellectual collaboration. These communities are profoundly changing the lives of their members\, as well as the attitudes and resources in the larger culture. As with other forms of scholarship concerning the lives and identities of oppressed groups\, there is a growing understanding that scholarship about neurodiversity or madness should center the voices and research of community members. Because disability studies and bioethics have expanded and deepened over the last decade\, we have new theoretical resources available to explore the social\, ethical\, and political dimensions of neurodiversity and madness\; conversely\, neurodiverse and mad scholars are currently enriching these disciplinary conversations.
\nThis special issue of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal invites articles between 5000 and 10000 words on any social\, ethical\, and political issues raised by neurodiversity\, madness\, or the relationship or contrasts between the two. While anyone may submit a paper\, the editors require that all papers center and engage with the voices\, lived experiences\, and scholarship of neurodivergent and/or mad scholars and advocates\, and we especially encourage submissions from community members.
\nA note on terminology: &ldquo\;mad&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;madness&rdquo\; are reclaimed terms that are central to the Mad Studies and Mad Pride movements and connected to a radical history\; these are still contested terms\, and some people within that community prefer other terms such as &ldquo\;mental illness\,&rdquo\; which is also contested. For more on Mad Studies see here:https://madstudies2014.wordpress.com/. We recognize a variety of legitimate views on best terminology for the purposes of this issue. We prefer &ldquo\;autistic people\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;autistic\,&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;autists&rdquo\; to &ldquo\;people with autism&rdquo\; (which signals that autism is a condition with which people are afflicted) and we ask that authors avoid terms such as &ldquo\;ASD&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;on the spectrum&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;Asperger&rsquo\;s\,&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;high/low functioning\,&rdquo\; all of which reflect outdated\, hierarchical\, and/or euphemistic terms for autistic people. Other forms of neurodiversity have not involved as much contested language\, but please be generally mindful of avoiding terms and constructions that are dehumanizing\, stigmatizing\, dated\, or reductive.
\nDeadline for submissions: May 31\, 2024\, with the goal of publication in our September 2024 issue.
\nPlease use the regular Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal submission system\, at https://kiej.georgetown.edu/submit/ Please note in your cover letter that the submission is for the special issue on situating neurodiversity and madness. Inquiries about the issue may be directed to the journal&rsquo\;s Editor-in-Chief\, Quill Kukla\, at Quill.Kukla@georgetown.edu.

How to create a space in which an-other is neither othered nor destroyed by colonisation of the I? And more prominently\, how to do that within language\, within a linearity of text? How to deal with archives that lack the other-as-other as they write within systems of exclusion? How to deal with a text that is not one&rsquo\;s own? How to deal with a text an-other-you has written yesterday? \;
\n\\(m)/Other &ndash\; And yet there is also the possibility of compassion\, the raised arms of the (m)Other that does not know yet that all turn to for knowledge. The burden of proof is always shifted to those who already understand\, whose knowledge is earned through generations and emotional work\, and how to convey this to the Other that is never going to go through all of that? How is writing also a practise to be with one&rsquo\;s self\, raising arms in desperation and in prayer\, \\(m)/\, accessing something that lies between Truth and Life. \;
\nInvitation
\nThis is an invitation for exploration around these themes. We especially encourage workshops / interactive formats. We have a whole week together\, to write with an-other\\(m)/Other. Also very welcome to participate without presenting / giving a workshop. First-time experiments are as welcome as tested concepts. \;
\n\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 need (paper/paint/bicycles). \;

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.

\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 &ldquo\;Dispositions&rdquo\; 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 &ldquo\;Dispositions&rdquo\; will take place from October 10-13\, 2024\, the second &ldquo\;Dispositions and Values&rdquo\; 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 &ldquo\;dispositions&rdquo\; 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&rsquo\;s intrinsic disposition to ascribe value to the object under consideration. Within the second part of the conference &ndash\; &ldquo\;Disposition and Values&rdquo\; &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 &ldquo\;Dispositions&rdquo\;\, or for the second &ldquo\;Dispositions and Values&rdquo\;\, 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.
\nConference Venue:
\nUniversity of Belgrade\, Faculty of Philosophy\, Čika Ljubina Street 18-20\, Belgrade\, Serbia

The relation between phenomenology and religious experience can be considered in a variety of modes: epistemic (phenomenology as a "rigorous science" of religious experience in Husserl's sense)\; ontic (phenomenology as a way to access the core motive\, or regulative ideal\, of religion)\; analogical (phenomenological experience as a secular version of religious experience)\; generalizing (religious experience turning into phenomenological experience when stripped from its dogmatic frame)\, etc. Proposals can take critical\, descriptive\, theoretical\, comparative\, historical\, or other approaches\, and they can focus on the interplay between religious or spiritual experience and assorted theoretical approaches\, or proceed from such experience towards building a new theory. In accord with Husserl&rsquo\;s original intent\, the series welcomes attempts to locate spiritual or religious experience within a broader theory of the sciences (Wissenschaftslehre) and to expand phenomenology towards transcendental philosophy and metaphysics.
The series covers five areas:
1) Clarifications of religious and spiritual experience\, its formal phenomenological research\, and its relationships to art\, textuality\, culture\, anthropology\, politics\, and comparative religion\;
2) Metaphysical extensions of the phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience\;
3) Existential and psychological analyses\, in different traditions\, of religious and spiritual experience\;
4) Theologies of religious experience\, with or beyond a specific focus on ritual and liturgy\, including liberation theologies\, feminist theologies\, theologies at the intersection of religious experience and race\, social status\, etc.\;
5) The phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience as applied to and/ or examined within medicine\, nursing\, and the health sciences and the natural and social sciences.
The series is published in cooperation with the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience\, \;www.sophere.org.
