The PhenoLab was set up in 2019 as a free of charge series of seminars and lectures organised and held by Prof. Dr. Francesca Brencio. Originally born with the support of Dr. Prisca Bauer of the Systemic Research and Psychotherapy Section at the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine at the Freiburg Medical Centre (Germany)\, from October 2021 the PhenoLab activities have procedeed autonomously under the sole responsibility of Prof. Brencio.
\nFrom the Academic Year 2023-2024 the PhenoLab activities will be divided in four types: two free of charge and two with registration fees:
\n1. Academic Lectures: for free\, once a month\, partially recorded and uploaded on the PhenoLab YouTube Channel
\n2. Encountering Health Professionals: for free\, once every two months\, partially recorded and uploaded on the PhenoLab YouTube Channel
\n3. Course in Applying Phenomenology: twice a month\, a team of scholars coming from a strong experience in the field of phenomenology and qualitative research will teach how to apply the phenomenological method. In order to participate to the course\, registration fees are required. They will include online lectures\, teaching materials\, reading and discussion groups. Recordings of the course will not be uploaded. \;
\n4. Course in Philosophical Counseling and Phenomenology: twice every two months\, certified practitioners in the field of Philosophical Counselling\, with a focus on phenomenology and hermeneutics\, will guide the participants in using the tools coming from these two distinct yet close fields of knowledge. In order to participate to the course\, registration fees are required. They will include online lectures\, teaching materials\, reading groups\, and pragmatical activities. Recordings of the course will not be uploaded.
\nIn June 2024 the PhenoLab will organise and host the 1st edition of the PhenoLab Summer School in Applying Phenomenology. \; More information about the call for papers\, keynote speakers\, dates and costs will be provided at the very beginning of 2024. \;
\nThe PhenoLab activities will start on October 10 2023. \;

Clearly\, changes enfold over time\, but what exactly makes change dynamic? Are specific changes made dynamic by specific features\, or is there a general feature of dynamicity shared by all changes? If so\, where is this feature to be found? In the physical underpinnings of world\, in an account of time\, the change makers\; or might it be found even more fundamental in a proto-temporal understanding of dynamicity? \;

ORGANIZER;CN="Caterina Pellò";CN=Giulia De Cesaris: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240319T103439Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20240321T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20240322T170000 SUMMARY:Au prisme de la métaphore: repenser la relation entre philosophie et poésie UID:20240319T103446Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/Zurich LOCATION:UNIL - Château de Dorigny\, Lausanne\, Switzerland\, 1015 DESCRIPTION:En posant la poé\;sie comme rivale de la philosophie\, Platon a marqué\; du sceau de la querelle la relation entre philosophie et poé\;sie. Cette relation conflictuelle devient ainsi un problè\;me philosophique et un enjeu poé\;tique. Mais cette querelle ne doit pas nous faire oublier que Platon é\;crivait ses thè\;ses philosophiques sous formes de dialogues inté\;grant des mythes et autres figures poé\;tiques. S&rsquo\;il pose la poé\;sie comme rivale de la philosophie\, c&rsquo\;est é\;galement parce que celle-ci contamine né\;cessairement le discours philosophique. Les dé\;veloppements ulté\;rieurs ont ré\;é\;valué\; cette relation\, en prô\;nant parfois l&rsquo\;identification de la philosophie et de la poé\;sie\, comme chez les romantiques allemands\, ou au contraire en l&rsquo\;excluant\, comme chez les positivistes logiques. Mais cette relation n&rsquo\;est jamais neutre et la problé\;matique qu&rsquo\;elle abrite se doit d&rsquo\;ê\;tre é\;tudié\;e.
\nDans cette relation tensive\, une notion occupe une place essentielle: celle de mé\;taphore. En effet\, bien qu&rsquo\;elle soit souvent considé\;ré\;e comme une figure de style rattaché\;e à\; la poé\;sie\, la mé\;taphore é\;gaye constamment le discours philosophique\, nos multiples discours\, poé\;tiques ou ordinaires\, et nos diverses formes de pensé\;e\, cré\;ative ou utilitaire. Comment cette mé\;taphoricité\; du discours philosophique met-elle en jeu les rapports entre philosophie et poé\;sie ? On peut alors penser cette mé\;taphoricité\; selon les perspectives de Nietzsche\, Derrida\, Bachelard\, entre autres. Dans quelle mesure les conceptions cognitivistes de Lakoff et Johnson (&ldquo\;everyday metaphor&rdquo\;)\, Turner et Fauconnier (&ldquo\;conceptual blending&rdquo\;)\, ou Forceville et Urios-Aparisi (&ldquo\;multimodal metaphor&rdquo\;) modifient-elles ces rapports ? Quelles sont alors les spé\;cificité\;s de la mé\;taphore ? Faut-il distinguer plusieurs types de mé\;taphores (philosophique\, poé\;tique\, etc.) ? La mé\;taphore se dilue-t-elle dans le raisonnement philosophique ?

ORGANIZER;CN="John Peck, SJ": METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240319T103439Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20240322T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20240322T160000 SUMMARY:(Re)Create. Towards a Theory of Heteronomous Texts UID:20240319T103448Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/Berlin LOCATION:Bibliothekspl. 2\, Jena\, Germany\, 07743 DESCRIPTION:The creation of texts can take various forms. One seemingly obvious method is to copy an already existing text. The material evidence of this practice in Antiquity and the Middle Ages constitutes the foundation of our knowledge of ancient textual cultures. A partial copy can also be the basis for further work on the material: shortening or adding\, expanding\, rearranging\, or re-collecting are only a few possible ways of dealing with pre-texts. Some texts enclose their pre-texts\, as we can see for instance in medieval commentary literature. Some texts quote their pre-texts\, some allude to them thematically. Some texts are devoted entirely to their pre-texts\, others use them only incidentally and as part of a broader scheme. With such different methods of production also comes a variety of genres in which we can find evidence of them: commentaries\, compendia\, collections\, translations\, and encyclopaedias as well as re-narrations of historical and literary material are all examples of texts that rely on predecessors although they differ in many other ways.
\nWe can identify the connecting phenomenon of these texts: they all acknowledge the norm set by another entity. We call this phenomenon heteronomy.
\nHeteronomous texts form the core of the research training group &ldquo\;Autonomy of Heteronomous Texts in Antiquity and the Middle Ages&rdquo\;. In case studies we investigate texts and traditions from the fields of Byzantine Studies\, Greek and Roman History and Philology\, Medieval German Studies\, Philosophy\, Syriac Studies\, and Theology. A key aspect of our work is analysing the dependence between a text and its (purported) counterpart\, namely the autonomy of creation. In particular\, the creative relationship between adhering to a normative text and detaching oneself from it interests us. New and stand-alone works can be the product of conscious dependency.
\nWhile &lsquo\;literary autonomy&rsquo\; has given rise to different theoretical approaches and case studies\, &lsquo\;heteronomy&rsquo\; has not yet been integrated into a fully formed theory. With our conference we aim to further this line of questioning: Which elements of a text are heteronomous and in what way? With which methods can we analyse these textual strategies? To what extent does this help us to understand the relationship between a text and its historical context? Are producers of heteronomous texts driven by a certain set of motivations?
\nWe are open to papers that critically engage with our concept of heteronomy in relation to othertheories. For example\, various theories of intertextuality are concerned with the particular connection between texts (Fowler 1997\; May 2012). In medieval studies\, the term wiedererzä\;hlen has been coined to describe different forms of remodelling a text (Worstbrock 1999). Allusion and citation have a rich history in philology and theology (Krause 2022)\, and aemulatio and imitatio refer to a distinctive aesthetic value of engaging with pre-texts (May 2012). Concerning the working methods\, theories have been developed for excerpting\, collecting or rearranging textual material (Dusil et al. 2017\; Piccione 2003). Last but not least the term &lsquo\;autonomy&rsquo\; itself has been applied but also contested in its use to describe works of literature (Porter 2012). How can we define &lsquo\;autonomy&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;heteronomy&rsquo\; to use them with benefit for our disciplines? Which other theories and concepts are related to the study of heteronomy? How can we distinguish or integrate the research of heteronomy into these established fields? As many others\, heteronomous texts oftentimes cross genre boundaries as defined by research communities. How can the notion of heteronomous texts further our understanding of genre studies?
\nThe outlined questions about motivations and strategies will be the thread of the conference. Whether proposals take a more theoretical or close-reading approach to this question\, they should keep the highly specialised and interdisciplinary audience in mind.
\nWe invite contributions from (but not limited to) the following fields: Theology and Biblical Studies\, Latin and Middle Latin Studies\, Greek and Byzantine Studies\, Syriac Studies\, Ancient and Medieval History and Philosophy\, German Medieval Studies\, and Roman Law. Preference will be given to proposals that focus on our areas of expertise: Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Both terms are understood in their broadest sense.
\nEach paper should last 20 minutes and will be followed by 20 minutes of discussion. We are looking forward to receiving proposals from scholars at all career stages\, and we aim for parity in gender. The conference&rsquo\;s language will be English. Speakers will be reimbursed for hotel and travel costs. Please send your abstracts (max. 300 words) to: recreate-texts@uni-jena.de. The deadline for submissions is 22 March 2024.
\nPlease do not hesitate to contact us (Nicolas Campagnoli under the aforementioned email) with any questions you might have.

\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 March 24th\, 2024\, to https://emorob.fss.muni.cz/conferences/2024-foucault40 or by email to: Foucault40Brno@muni.cz

\nThe workshop&ndash\;2024 continues the series of thematic workshops &ldquo\;Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy&rdquo\; which were held in April 2016 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=29024766)\, April 2017 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=30560011)\, April 2018 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=35240888)\,April 2019 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=39452678\,proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=41494716)\, April/October 2020 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp? id=44404439)\, April 2021(theses: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=47196636\; proceedings: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=48458596)\; April 2022(theses: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=49505613\; proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/93905826/)\; April 2023 (abstract: https://www.academia.edu/110312036/).
\nPerspective/scope of the conference. In his definition of transcendental philosophy Kant postulates shift (turn) from studying of objects to studying of [aprioristic] mode of cognition [CPR\, B25] as «\;the altered method of our thinking»\; [CPR\, BVXIII]. On the one hand\, such transcendental turn leads to new metaphysics\; on the other hand\, the transcendental shift to studying of «\;mode of our cognition»\; predetermines influence of a transcendentalism on contemporary development of epistemology\, cognitive sciences\, and artificial intelligence.
\nFormat: there will be several thematic sessions in the mixed format (offline and online).

\nAbstract: \;
\nKant&rsquo\;s late distinction\, in the \;Metaphysics of Morals\, between internal and external freedom has been a source of considerable confusion\, consternation\, and debate. Insofar as external freedom does not require conformity of the agent&rsquo\;s maxim with the universal principle of Right\, external freedom does not meet the conditions for autonomy as moral self-legislation familiar from \;Groundwork \;and \;Second Critique. Scholarly debate has tended to focus on what Kant&rsquo\;s seemingly prudential grounding of external freedom implies for the moral status of the \;Doctrine of Right \;as a whole\, with some arguing that the latter cannot form part of Kant&rsquo\;s moral philosophy and others defending various moral readings of the text. Rather than considering the moral status of the \;Doctrine of Right \;as a whole\, I here focus on the relation between external freedom and the idea of the general united will as legislative principle or criterion. I argue that the irrelevance of maxim in relation to external freedom is grounded in the rights of others\, and I go on to show that\, given this\, the general united will cannot be construed as a principle of collective self-legislation: it is\, to the contrary\, a principle of rightful \;coercive \;lawmaking. This does not impugn the moral status of the general united will\, the a priori necessity of which in the realm of rights is\, to the contrary\, an insight of pure practical reason.

\nNotification of acceptance: 6 April 2024
\nThis workshop highlights \;the subject of women and epistemic emotions &ndash\; emotions which either aid us in knowing or are themselves instances of knowledge &ndash\; in the early modern period. Paradigm examples of epistemic emotions include doubt and curiosity\, though other emotions such as love or fear may also play important epistemic roles. \;Thus\, an epistemic emotion is one that plays a causal role in driving our efforts to know something\, or in the critical reflection and revision of what it is that we know.
\nThough the ongoing recovery and reintegration project is robustly underway\, early modern women and epistemic emotions have been largely overlooked. This workshop is an effort to create and disseminate new knowledge and interpretive tools. As such\, we intend to publish revised versions of the papers presented at this workshop in an edited volume. \;
\nThe workshop features two keynote speakers &ndash\; Martina Reuter (Jyvä\;skylä\;) and Lisa Shapiro (McGill) &ndash\; and invited papers from Marcy Lascano (KU)\, Anik Waldow (Sydney)\, Getty Lustila (Northeastern)\, Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Emory)\, Allauren Samantha Forbes (McMaster)\, Elena Gordon (McGill-Jyvä\;skylä\;)\, and Manuel Vasquez Villavicencio (McMaster). \;
\nWe have held four speaking slots open and so are inviting submissions of anonymized abstracts \;between 500-750 words. \;We are especially interested in receiving abstracts from \;early-career or emerging scholars \;(e.g.\, advanced PhD students\, CLAs/Adjuncts\, Assistant Professors) and \;contributions which highlight women philosophers&rsquo\; &ldquo\;non-traditional&rdquo\; philosophical texts \;&ndash\; e.g.\, letters\, plays\, and novels. Please also include a coversheet with name\, position\, paper title\, and affiliation. Submissions should be sent as pdf files to Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca. Receipt of submission will be confirmed by email\; notification of acceptance will go out by 6 April 2024.
\n \;We will be able to offer some financial support to these four speakers: we will cover their 3-night hotel stay and will be able to offer a small stipend toward their travel expenses. We will also be providing a mentoring luncheon which pairs early-career and established scholar speakers. As such\, drafts of the full paper to be included in the edited volume emerging from this conference will be due to the organizers for distribution to the mentors by 25 September 2024. We will also host a conference dinner for all speakers on 26 October 2024. \;
\nWhile our venues are accessible and we can accommodate dietary needs\, please contact Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca \;with any specific questions on these matters.

\nTOWARDS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN OBJECT-ORIENTED ONTOLOGY (OOO) AND SCIENCE
\n\n\nOpen Philosophy (https://www.degruyter.com/opphil) invites submissions for the topical issue "Towards a Dialogue Between Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) and Science\," edited by Adrian Razvan Sandru (Champalimaud Research\, Portugal)\, Zach Mainen (Champalimaud Research\, Portugal) and Federica Maria Gonzalez Luna Ortiz (Tuebingen University\, Germany).
\n\n\nDESCRIPTION
\n\nWhile Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) has received much attention across diverse fields\, it has remained somewhat overlooked in scientific discourse. The aim of this issue is to bring Graham Harman&rsquo\;s OOO into dialogue with contemporary perspectives on and from science. By doing so\, we hope to bring to light novel dimensions of both OOO and scientific inquiry. We encourage interdisciplinary participation from a broad range of disciplines.
\n&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;&ensp\;Graham Harman&rsquo\;s Object-Oriented Ontology proposes that knowledge comes in three forms: undermining (downward reduction to an underlying reality)\, overmining (upward reduction to a grounding system)\, and their combination in duomining (simultaneous reductions in both directions). Within this general framework\, Harman makes a finer distinction between two styles of knowing that may inform a critical analysis of science\, its practices\, and narratives from a novel perspective. On one side\, Harman speaks of a literal style of knowing that takes phenomena to be the sum of their features as they appear to us. On the other side\, he describes a metaphorical one that hints at the infinite interiority of objects and brings about the awareness that there is always more to them than meets the eye. Harman argues that literalism is the mode by which science knows things\, while the way that art and aesthetics approach objects is instead metaphorical. In contrast to literalism\, which\, according to OOO\, ignores the tension between how an object appears in relation to other objects and what an object is\, &ldquo\;the metaphor seems to give us the thing in its autonomy from the other things to which it relates" (Harman\, 2018). In Harman&rsquo\;s reading\, the metaphor suspends the sensuality of the object and alludes to its real core.
\n\n \;  \;  \;This topical issue will explore whether Harman&rsquo\;s assessment of science&rsquo\;s method is apt and whether a dialogue between the two ways of knowing might benefit the endeavors of both aesthetic and scientific inquiry. This dialogue may prove to be a fruitful and timely opportunity for both science and philosophy to make sense of novel phenomena such as global pandemics\, climate change\, or the advent of artificial intelligence\, all of which pose challenges to classically rationalistic or subject-centric scientific and philosophical systems.
\n\n\nContributions may address\, for instance\, the following topics:
\n- Literalism
\n- The concept of metaphor in OOO and related frameworks
\n- Real and sensual objects and qualities
\n- Interactions and relationality in Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO)
\n- Cognition and the role of the subject in OOO
\n- Alternate ways of knowing (art\, architecture\, literature\, film\, etc.) in OOO
\n- Science and OOO
\n- Political\, ethical\, and social dimensions of flat ontologies
\n\n\nAuthors publishing their articles in the special issue will benefit from:
\n·\; transparent\, comprehensive and fast peer review\,
\n·\; efficient route to fast-track publication and full advantage of De Gruyter's e-technology.

Suppose we engage in a discussion about the morality of abortion. During our conversation we offer arguments and evidence to support our claims about the topic. Unfortunately\, our argumentative exchanges are ineffective because there is not enough shared background to mutually appreciate our respective arguments and evidence. At this point it becomes apparent that our disagreement is not just a clash of beliefs: it is something deeper. We may be in a systematic and persistent disagreement rooted in contrary worldviews\, where there seems to be no mutually recognized method of resolution because we reason and analyze evidence using different frameworks or principles. These peculiar disagreements are what philosophers have called deep disagreements. Deep disagreements are central to our life\, plaguing our interactions with people pertaining to different cultures\, societies\, and social groups. Philosophers working on ethics and metaethics have paid long attention to moral disagreements\, as they have the potential to challenge the ideas of moral progress and moral realism. However\, little attention has been paid to moral deep disagreements. Because many disagreements in ethics could be thought of as deep disagreements\, it is worthy of our attention how the study of deep disagreements can help us understand disagreements in the moral realm and their possible ramifications.
\nSince its inception (Fogelin\, 1985) research on deep disagreements has relied heavily on the thought of Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Inspired by Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s last work\, On Certainty\, many authors take deep disagreements to involve clashes between hinge propositions or commitments the parties hold (Pritchard 2018\, 2021\, Ranalli 2020). Other philosophers have taken inspiration from other works of Wittgenstein to think of deep disagreements as involving different forms of life (Fogelin 1985)\, language games (Godden &\; Brenner 2010)\, or pictures (Lavorerio 2021). Moreover\, over the last decade philosophers have explored Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s work to illustrate how his insights and methods can contribute and be advantageous to existing debates in meta-ethics and moral philosophy. For example\, Fairhurst (2019\; Forthcoming)\, Hermann (2015)\, Laves (2020a\; 2020b\; Forthcoming)\, and Pleasants (2008a\; 2008b\; 2009\; 2015) have discussed the possibility of extending Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s insights in On Certainty to develop the idea of moral hinges to better explain how moral epistemic practices function. Other philosophers have set out to explore the meta-ethical implications of Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s later work to shed some light on the ontological\, semantic and epistemological presuppositions and commitments of moral disagreements (Christensen 2011\; Fairhurst 2022\; Kuusela 2018\; Forthcoming\; McDowell 1998).
\nIt seems clear\, thus\, that Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s oeuvre has the potential to inspire and inform our conceptions of deep disagreements and moral issues. However\, despite increasing interest in the study of these topics from a Wittgensteinian perspective\, there hasn&rsquo\;t been much work on what Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s thought could add to our understanding of moral deep disagreements in particular. This special issue aims to address this knowledge gap by gathering philosophers working at the intersection of Wittgensteinian philosophy\, deep disagreements and moral philosophy to discuss moral deep disagreements from a Wittgensteinian perspective. Topics include\, but are not limited to:
\n1) What are moral deep disagreements and do they display distinctive characteristics?
\n2) What theories ought to be developed to explain the epistemology of moral deep disagreements?
\n3) What are the meta-ethical implications of moral deep disagreements for\, say\, moral realism or moral relativism?
\n4) What are the ethical implications of moral deep disagreements for moral progress?
\n5) Can we develop strategies to enable constructive dialogue and/or resolve moral deep disagreements?

\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. \;

\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.

\n*New Narratives and Methods in the History of 20th Century Philosophy*
\n*19-20 August 2024*
\nExiled Empiricists ERC Project - University of Tilburg
\nThe history of twentieth century philosophy has largely been written within a single overarching narrative describing the rise of a sharp divide between two opposing traditions\, analytic and continental philosophy. Despite its widespread use\, this narrative of a philosophical divide fails to address many intellectual and social changes that philosophy underwent in the twentieth century. Philosophy became an independent discipline within academia and dramatically increased a focus on specialization. Standards shifted how to write a philosophical text and how to comprehend its intended readership. Also important socio-political events had a major impact on the intellectual and institutional identity of philosophy in the 20th century. Among the most salient were the two World Wars\, the fight for gender-equality and civil rights\, and the de-colonization of the global south. Until now\, all of the above developments have not been given much interest as a way to understand developments in 20th century philosophy as a whole.
\nThe dominant divide-narrative primarily originated from the philosophical self-understanding that arose in the Anglophone world after the Second World War. Therefore\, it offers little conceptual tools to describe and understand the above broader changes. The divide-narrative also struggles to provide a coherent interpretation of any philosophic development outside of\, or at the margins of\, the analytic tradition. The category of "continental" fails to describe in a meaningful way many philosophical traditions that drove intellectual developments in 20th century philosophy\, like pragmatism\, Neo-Kantianism\, critical theory\, feminism\, phenomenology or post-colonialism. In turn\, the category of "analytic" philosophy is itself problematic. Construed as philosophy inspired by Frege\, Russell\, Moore and Wittgenstein\, it fails to do justice to the diversity of interests\, aims and influences of all 20th century philosophers who are characterized as "analytics".
\nThis conference aims to explore potential alternative conceptualizations and problematizations of what happens to philosophy in the 20th century from an intellectual\, social and institutional perspective. By doing this\, we hope to enrich contemporary philosophers&rsquo\; self-understanding of what they are doing in the 21st century.
\nWe invite scholars to submit proposals for papers that explore the social\, cultural\, political\, and intellectual developments of philosophy in the 20th century. We invite potential contributors to consider topics related to questions such as:

Philosophers have been pondering about soul&rsquo\;s status\, structure and interrelations from the very beginnings of philosophy\, and still do today\, despite the more recent development of psychology as an autonomous scientific discipline with various subdivisions. The journal \;Philosophies\, sensitive not only to core issues calling for philosophical reflection\, but also to the various historical and cultural settings in which philosophical concepts and theological ideas were put forth\, aims to devote a Special Issue to what pertains to theories of soul that were formulated in Antiquity and the Long Middle Ages. The time delineation makes sense\, since the Middle Ages\, in its triple expression in Western Europe (Latin-speaking)\, Byzantium (Greek-speaking) and the Islamic World\, can be seen as the inheritor of the ancient philosophical wisdom\, which dealt specifically with soul (of both human and non-human beings).
\nHence\, we are pleased to invite you to submit articles on the topic as has been broadly defined above. Papers can be comparative (in both the diachronic and the synchronic axes) or not\; in the case of comparative articles\, philosophy and science in the Renaissance would be another point of reference in itself (as an inheritor of ancient and medieval wisdom)\, as well as its so-called \;scientiae occultae. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: divisions and faculties of soul\; soul and personal identity\; soul&rsquo\;s relation to body\; the role and mechanics of cognition\; the role and mechanics of sense-perception\; imagination\, dreams and prophecy\; soul as an image of the divine\; the state of intellect\; soul&rsquo\;s desires and will.
\nWe look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dear Colleagues\,
\nThis Special Issue explores how Thomas Aquinas and the Thomists from different ages related their thought to the natural and cognitive sciences\, both from a systematic and an historical perspective. What can contemporary theology\, philosophy\, and science and religion\, as well as the history of these disciplines\, gain from an engagement with the thought of Thomas Aquinas and his appropriation and integration of\, and perspectives on\, the natural and cognitive sciences? Additionally\, how did Thomists in later centuries live up to this challenge? What is the status quo of Aquinas scholarship and Thomistic contributions on science and theology\, or more recently science-engaged theology\, today? Contributions to historical and systematic scholarship are welcome. The subject matter of the submitted work may pertain to a broad spectrum of disciplines\, including history\, philosophy\, theology\, religious studies\, science-engaged theology\, and science and religion.

We invite submissions exploring topics connected to Aristotle&rsquo\;s De Anima\, both from a contemporary and a historical point of view\, for a special issue of the open-access\, peer-reviewed\, online journal\, Metaphysics (http://www.metaphysicsjournal.com)\, co-edited by Kathrin Koslicki and Michael Raven\, to be published in 2024.
\nAristotle&rsquo\;s De Anima has proven to be an extremely fertile ground on which to debate not only philosophical questions relating to specific psychological phenomena (e.g.\, perception\, sleep\, or dreaming)\, but also more general questions concerning the applicability of central components of Aristotle&rsquo\;s framework to the particular case of living organisms. Such questions include\, but are not limited to\, the following:

\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):

\nAncient Philosophy Today: Dialogoi Special Issue
\nGuest Editors: Nicholas R. Baima and Tyler Paytas
\nIn &ldquo\;The Ethics of Belief\,&rdquo\; W. K. Clifford famously argued that &ldquo\;it is wrong always\, everywhere\, and for anyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.&rdquo\; William James responded in &ldquo\;The Will to Believe&rdquo\; that under certain conditions morality requires that our beliefs go beyond the evidence. The debate between Clifford and James concerns how ethical norms relate to epistemic norms\, and these issues are widely discussed by philosophers today in ethics\, epistemology\, philosophy of religion\, \; and philosophy of science. However\, these discussions are not only of academic concern. The ethics of belief is central to social and political debates about healthcare\, the environment\, and social justice. It is also pertinent to individual beliefs concerning religion\, morality\, and interpersonal relationships.
\nAncient Greek and Roman philosophy provide a rich resource for contemporary discussions of the ethics of belief given that ancient epistemology is deeply infused with ethics. Socrates\, for example\, argues that all wrongdoing is the result of ignorance\, and Pyrrho of Elis argued that skepticism was the path to tranquility. Ancient Philosophy Today: Dialogoi believes that ancient philosophy isn&rsquo\;t merely of historical interest but is of value for its philosophical insights. As such\, this journal invites paper submissions about the ethics of belief (broadly construed) in ancient philosophy and its contemporary relevance for a forthcoming special issue.
\nPotential topics include\, but are not limited to:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The relationship between ethics and epistemology in ancient philosophy. Are we ever justified in holding a position that goes beyond rational (i.e. epistemic) support\, according to philosopher X? If so\, under what conditions?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Epistemic virtues and norms in ancient philosophy. Are there any overlooked epistemic virtues or norms in ancient philosophy?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Forms of assent. Today\, philosophers distinguish between belief\, acceptance\, and faith. Are there any analogous distinctions in ancient philosophy?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Doxastic voluntarism. How did ancient thinkers view the question of how much control we have over the belief-formation process?

Topic:
Nonsense is a kind of a failure of engaging in rational discourse that seems more fundamental than saying a mere falsehood &mdash\; to utter nonsense is to have failed to say anything at all. This year&rsquo\;s WFAP graduate conference aims to bring together early career and advanced researchers in order to discuss questions such as: How is an illusion of sense even possible? How can one distinguish nonsense from sense? How do different theories of meaning account for nonsense? Are there distinct kinds of nonsense\, e.g. gibberish\, category mistakes\, ambiguities etc.\, or are all cases of nonsense due to the same kind of transgression? What is nonsense&rsquo\;s role in philosophical theorizing\, both as a target of criticism and as an argumentative device? Does nonsense occur in ordinary discourse or is it a phenomenon that is particular to philosophical theorizing?
We welcome submissions on any topic related to our theme including but not limited to:

Moreover\, many philosophers of science have suggested that pluralism within science is not a matter of justice to diverse stakeholders but a generic feature of scientific reasoning. They claim that the pursuit of manifold\, perhaps even inconsistent\, research programs is the appropriate response to the complexity of target systems and the perspectival limitations of knowing. Scholars in science and religion have even begun to question the validity of &ldquo\;science&rdquo\; as a transhistorical monolithic category suggesting that it consists of a variety of traditions each with its own internal history and rationality. \;Each of these three strands considers the possibility and\, sometimes\, inevitability of a more pluralist science\, one that progresses along multiple paths rather than insisting on the closing down of alternatives. This conference seeks to bring these strands together to further investigate the historical and conceptual foundations of pluralist science as well as to evaluate its promises and risks in our globalist society. \;
\nWe are accepting submissions for twenty minute papers and for posters. We welcome contributions from history and philosophy of science\, theology and science\, science studies\, and adjacent disciplines. \;Abstracts should be approximately 250 words. A limited number of travel bursaries are available.
\nPossible questions include:
\nIs pluralism a permanent part of the scientific endeavor\, or is it merely a transitory feature of our current epistemic situation?
\nIs pluralism a desired feature of scientific theorizing\, or a roadblock to a final\, unified science? What risks does pluralism pose\, either epistemically or socially?
\nShould we value a \;diversity of perspectives at all? for epistemic or non-epistemic reasons? Instrumentally or for its own sake? \;
\nDo inconsistent models imply some form of epistemic relativism?
\nDoes a commitment to scientific pluralism imply that nature itself is pluralistic\, or merely that different ways of modeling nature represent different aspects of a univocal nature?
\nDo different cultural\, metaphysical\, and religious perspectives result in salient differences in the kinds of scientific knowledge that are possible?
\nIs science inherently secular? Is it culturally or metaphysically neutral? What are the implications of proposing a non-secular\, culturally situated science?
\nHow might disunity in science affect the way other disciplines engage with it? \;
\nHow should different ways of knowing nature be characterized with respect to one another and with respect to European\, empirical science? Do specific cases clarify this relationship?
\nDo our methods of historically investigating science by attending to particular cases lead to the conclusion that science is pluralistic or merely assume its pluralism from the start? \;
\nAre there aspects of science that we presume to be universal that are\, in fact\, culturally situated? \;
\nHow prevalent in the history of science is the Semmelweiss reflex\, whereby established scientific authorities reject new evidence or knowledge in favor of entrenched norms\, beliefs\, or practices? Does that prevalence vary by discipline\, region\, or period? Do specific cases of this reflex (or its absence) teach us something about how prone science is to unification? \;

\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):
\n● \; \; \; \; \; Il problema della forma\, in termini storici o teoretici.
\n● \; \; \; \; \; Il rapporto tra estetica ed ermeneutica.

\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.

\nINTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIС WORKSHOP (conference)
\nTranscendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy&ndash\;9: Metaphysics\,Epistemology\, Theory of Consciousness\, Cognitive Science and AI\, Theology
\nDear Colleagues\,
\nFrom April 11 to April 13\, 2024\, the IX Moscow international conference (workshop) «\;Transcendental turn in contemporary philosophy&ndash\;9: metaphysics\, epistemology\, theory of consciousness\, cognitive science and artificial intelligence\, theology»\; will be held.
\nFaculty of Philosophy of the SAUH\, Faculty of Philosophy of the RSUH\, Foundations for the Humanities\, SCMAI RAS invite you to participate in it.
\nThe workshop&ndash\;2024 continues the series of thematic workshops &ldquo\;Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy&rdquo\; which were held in April 2016 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=29024766)\, April 2017 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=30560011)\, April 2018 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=35240888)\,April 2019 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=39452678\,proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=41494716)\, April/October 2020 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp? id=44404439)\, April 2021(theses: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=47196636\; proceedings: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=48458596)\; April 2022(theses: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=49505613\; proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/93905826/)\; April 2023 (abstract: https://www.academia.edu/110312036/).
\nPerspective/scope of the conference. In his definition of transcendental philosophy Kant postulates shift (turn) from studying of objects to studying of [aprioristic] mode of cognition [CPR\, B25] as «\;the altered method of our thinking»\; [CPR\, BVXIII]. On the one hand\, such transcendental turn leads to new metaphysics\; on the other hand\, the transcendental shift to studying of «\;mode of our cognition»\; predetermines influence of a transcendentalism on contemporary development of epistemology\, cognitive sciences\, and artificial intelligence.
\nFormat: there will be several thematic sessions in the mixed format (offline and online).

\nDear Colleagues\,
\nFrom April 11 to April 13\, 2024\, the IX Moscow international conference (workshop) «\;Transcendental turn in contemporary philosophy&ndash\;9: metaphysics\, epistemology\, theory of consciousness\, cognitive science and artificial intelligence\, theology»\; will be held.
\nFaculty of Philosophy of the SAUH\, Faculty of Philosophy of the RSUH\, Foundations for the Humanities\, SCMAI RAS invite you to participate in it.
\nThe workshop&ndash\;2024 continues the series of thematic workshops &ldquo\;Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy&rdquo\; which were held in April 2016 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=29024766)\, April 2017 (proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=30560011)\, April 2018 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=35240888)\,April 2019 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=39452678\,proceedings: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=41494716)\, April/October 2020 (theses: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp? id=44404439)\, April 2021(theses: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=47196636\; proceedings: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=48458596)\; April 2022(theses: https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=49505613\; proceedings: https://www.academia.edu/93905826/)\; April 2023 (abstract: https://www.academia.edu/110312036/).
\nPerspective/scope of the conference. In his definition of transcendental philosophy Kant postulates shift (turn) from studying of objects to studying of [aprioristic] mode of cognition [CPR\, B25] as «\;the altered method of our thinking»\; [CPR\, BVXIII]. On the one hand\, such transcendental turn leads to new metaphysics\; on the other hand\, the transcendental shift to studying of «\;mode of our cognition»\; predetermines influence of a transcendentalism on contemporary development of epistemology\, cognitive sciences\, and artificial intelligence.
\nFormat: there will be several thematic sessions in the mixed format (offline and online).

Attempting to clarify the nature of this interaction often gives rise to complicated philosophical systems because the problem extends across at least three philosophical axes simultaneously: metaphysical\, epistemological\, and ethical. This conference will address some of these issues from an explicitly historical perspective\, especially that of the early-modern and modern periods.

\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.
\nPlease send the abstract (150-500 words) anonymized for blind review by February 8\, 2024. In addition\, send a separate document stating your name\, affiliation\, and title of your paper. Email all documents to \;joelalvarez@usf.edu \;and \;diamond434@usf.edu. Abstract acceptances will be announced in the first week of March.

In collaboration with the Collegium Institute for Catholic Thought &\; Culture\, we have organized a number of events and conferences that have promoted research on various aspects of Anscombe&rsquo\;s thought.
\nFor this year's conference\, we will be exploring the contemporary significance of Anscombe's writings on the topic of Justice. These writings span the course of her career and address many of her major philosophical concerns\, such as the nature of moral obligation\, the recovery of virtue ethics\, the concept of murder and just war\, the dignity of human life\, and the sources of normativity.
\n\nTentative Schedule:
\n9:00 &ndash\; 10:15 John Haldane\, "Anscombe\, Natural Law: Justice and the Law"

Contrary to philosophy&rsquo\;s normal epistemological predilection\, both Kant and Levinas argue for &ldquo\;the primacy of practical reason\,&rdquo\; for &ldquo\;ethics as first philosophy\,&rdquo\; finding morality at the root of all intelligibility. \; Yet for Levinas moral imperative arises as responsible response to the other person&rsquo\;s alterity while for Kant it arises as dutiful respect for law in the other and oneself.
Through explication of texts and discussion\, this seminar aims to clarify the grounds and some of the moral and political consequences of their agreement and disagreement.
 \;To apply:
\nTen scholars of philosophy and/or political philosophy &ndash\; professors and graduate students &ndash\; will be accepted to participate in this round-table seminar.
\nTo apply send: (1) A detailed ré\;sumé\;\, curriculum vitae\, or brief biography with contact information for two professional references\; (2) An application essay which should address your interest\, both academic and personal\, in the subject to be studied\; qualifications and experiences that equip you to do the work of the seminar and to make a contribution to a learning community.
\nApplications are reviewed on a rolling basis from the present time until deadline\, until all ten places are filled. A limited number of auditors will also be accepted. Please indicate if you are applying as an auditor.
\nApplication deadline: April 14\, 2024. \;
\nAll applicants will be notified no later than April 21\, 2024.

Beyond Anthropocentrism UID:20240319T103527Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers: Vol. 12 (2024) &ndash\; No 1-2\; Vol. 13 (2025) &ndash\; No 1-2
\nGranted that submissions not related to calls will also be considered\,
for the next four issues of Relations\, to be published in 2024 and 2025\,
the following three calls for papers are active:
- Rationalism\, Sentientism\, Biocentrism\, Ecocentrism: What is the Most Appropriate Environmental Ethics for Those Who Take a Non-anthropocentric Perspective?
By now\, in the 21st century\, a perspective that limits the moral community to human beings alone is no longer a sustainable position\, because it falls into speciesism\, an approach that has the same defects as racism and sexism. Once we have overcome a conception that sees humans as the only beings who have value in themselves and for whom we must protect the environment\, what are the possible alternatives?
From an ethical-philosophical point of view the problem discussed is that of the extension of the moral community. Who are the moral patients\, i.e. the entities that are worthwhile in themselves (also as ends and not only as means) and towards which we have direct moral obligations? Philosophers have identified the following four as the most plausible approaches for those who intend to move in a non-anthropocentric perspective: (1) rationalism (or personalism)\, according to which moral community is composed only by rational beings or persons (i.e.\, beings endowed with mental complexity)\; (2) sentientism or sentiocentrism\, which includes all sentient beings in the moral community\; (3) biocentrism\, according to which the status of moral patient is extended to every living organism\, animal or vegetal\, sentient or non-sentient\, as a teleological center of life\; (4) ecocentrism\, for which\, not only\, or not so much\, individual entities are deserving of direct moral protection\, but (also) totalities: species\, ecosystems\, etc. and\, beyond them\, inanimate entities.
Moreover\, there is not only the problem of the extension of the moral community. There is also the problem of its internal structure. Is this structure egalitarian or hierarchical? Do the members of the moral community have the same moral rank or are they to be placed on different levels of consideration? And so we can have\, for instance\, egalitarian and non-egalitarian forms of sentientism or biocentrism.
Which of the previous options appears to be the most appropriate? Or are there further possibilities to explore? With this Call Relations asks for contributions that try to answer the questions just formulated.
- Peter Singer&rsquo\;s Animal Ethics and Its Critics
The republication of Peter Singer&rsquo\;s Animal Liberation (Animal Liberation Now: The Definitive Classic Renewed\, 23 May 2023) in a profoundly renewed version (two-thirds of the book consists of entirely new material) gives us the opportunity to reflect on the thinking of one of the most influential exponents of animal ethics and defenders of the animal cause. We invite scholars to submit proposals for articles exploring the most significant aspects of Singer&rsquo\;s Animal Ethics. For example\, the theoretical and practical variations of the Singerian model over the fifty years of its development\, the principle of equal consideration of interests\, Singer&rsquo\;s critics from both moderate and radical sides\, etc.
- Reflections and Considerations on Martha C. Nussbaum&rsquo\;s Approach to Animal Ethics\, Starting from Her Recent &ldquo\;Justice for Animals&rdquo\; (2023).
Martha C. Nussbaum is one of the world&rsquo\;s most influential philosophers and in her recent book Justice for Animals she systematically sets out her convictions regarding the &ldquo\;animal question&rdquo\;. This Call of Relations requires a critical evaluation of the perspective developed by Nussbaum in the volume and a comparison with her previous texts on the subject.

\nAbout the journal
\nRelations. Beyond Anthropocentrism is a peer-refereed open access journal of trans-anthropocentric ethics and related inquires. The main aim of the journal is to create a professional interdisciplinary forum in Europe to discuss moral and scientific issues that concern the increasing need of going beyond narrow anthropocentric paradigms in all fields of knowledge. The journal accepts submissions on all topics which promote European research adopting a non-anthropocentric ethical perspective on both interspecific and intraspecific relationships between all life species &ndash\; humans included &ndash\; and between these and the abiotic environment.
We welcome papers\, comments\, debates\, interviews\, book and movie reviews\, as well as presentations\, reports\, and other news concerning relevant activities and events. We envision inter- and trans-disciplinary contributions and dialogue from a wide variety of approaches: humanities (e.g. philosophy\, literature\, arts\, law\, and religious studies)\, life sciences (e.g. biology\, ecology\, ethology\, medicine)\, and social sciences (e.g. economics\, politics\, anthropology\, sociology\, psychology). We especially encourage collaborative submissions from different disciplinary approaches\, from both senior and junior scholars (including graduate students). All suitable submissions should address both academic and lay audiences as well as relevant stakeholders. Since the journal refers to an international readership of people from different disciplines\, both inside and outside the academic community\, contributors should keep in mind this heterogeneity of provenances and areas of expertise when writing.
The section «\;Comments\, Debates &\; Interviews»\; includes scholarly comments as well as debates and interviews between two or more scholars. The section «\;Books &\; Movies Reviews»\; includes comments and reflections on important texts and movies. The section «\;News»\; includes reports and presentations of conferences and workshops\, as well as information on activities\, events\, and other projects.
This workshop will investigate relationships between modern Western philosophy and Classical Indian philosophy. Its governing questions are:
\nCall for abstracts
\nThe workshop will include two presentations for which we invite submissions\, on any topic relevant to the above research questions. Submission deadline \;19th February 2024. Submit abstracts (500&ndash\;750 words) for anonymous review to \;l.m.white@soton.ac.uk. Travel bursaries will be available for postgraduate researchers whose submissions are accepted.
