Entsprechend galt die Erde tendenziell als alles spendende\, unersch&ouml\;pfliche Mutter. Bis zum 17. Jahrhundert wurden diese Annahmen von den wenigsten hinterfragt (etwa von Lukrez). Mit dem Aufkommen wissenschaftlicher Denkweisen &auml\;nderte sich das. Theorien der Erde\, oft noch mit theologischen Themen verquickt\, begannen die Runde zu machen. Eine besonders pessimistische formulierte z.B. der Brite Thomas Burnet 1681: Die nachsintflutliche Erde sei "Ruine und M&uuml\;ll"\, "ein kleiner schmutziger Planet". Die Antwort der zeitgem&auml\;&szlig\;eren Optimisten lie&szlig\; nicht auf sich warten\; Autoren wie Woodward und Derham insistierten auf die durch die Vorsehung bestellte Zweckm&auml\;&szlig\;igkeit der Erde\, deren "M&auml\;ngel" blo&szlig\; den Menschen zu Flei&szlig\; und Fortschritt antreiben sollten. Dieses physiko-theologische Argument\, das leicht in prometheische Hybris umschlagen konnte\, wurde auch in Frankreich fortgef&uuml\;hrt\, etwa von Fontenelle und dem Jesuiten Jean Fran&ccedil\;ois. Dann kam Hume - er erneuerte die d&uuml\;stere Vision von Burnet und schob\, so schien es\, jeder physiko-theologischen Auffassung unseres Planeten den Riegel vor. Bis sich schlie&szlig\;lich auch Kant dem Thema widmete\, insbesondere in der Kritik der Urteilskraft. In meinem Vortrag m&ouml\;chte ich seine Antwort genauer unter die Lupe nehmen und fragen\, ob sein Versuch\, zwischen der pessimistischen und der optimistischen Position zu vermitteln\, gelang. Vieles h&auml\;ngt davon ab\, ob wir seine Theorie der objektiven Naturzwecke\, also der Organismen und des Lebens\, als blo&szlig\; regulativ zu beschreibende Erscheinungen heute noch akzeptieren k&ouml\;nnen\, vor allem im Lichte neo-aristotelischer Versuche in der Biologie (Ernst Mayr\, Denis Noble) und der Philosophie (Anthony Kenny\, Peter Hacker)\, Zweck als konstitutive Kategorie wiedereinzuf&uuml\;hren. In diesem Zusammenhang interessiert mich auch die Frage\, ob die kantische Vision uns wirklich hilft\, die Erde nicht nur nicht als "Ruine und M&uuml\;ll" wahrzunehmen\, sondern sie in diese Verfassung gar nicht erst zu bringen.</p>

In particular\, CCEC focuses on supporting instructors who want to teach neglected figures or a new canon of early modern philosophy\, but otherwise lack the resources to do so. CCEC aims to teach instructors how to create a safe and vibrant learning environment that speaks to a multitude of perspectives and allows students to learn about philosophers with voices like their own. The idea behind this is that we tend to teach as we have been taught\, and this is the way (at least in part) the canon is maintained or upheld. This also means that this is where we can best effect change: if instructors are taught to think of the canon in a broader and inclusive way\, their students will too. Moreover\, it&rsquo\;s only through changing the canon and understanding the way in which our respective positionalities affect learning in the classroom that we can be in a better position to change the face of philosophy.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Connect:</p>\n<p>Website: https://www.minnesotaccec.com/ccec<br>Twitter: @MNCCEC</p>\n<p>Instagram: @ccec.umn</p>

DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Prejudice in Hume and His Contemporaries</strong> <strong>University College Dublin\, 23-24 June 2026</strong> <br> <strong></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed speakers:</strong></p>\n<p>Amy Schmitter (University of Alberta)</p>\n<p>Jacqueline Taylor (University of San Francisco)</p>\n<p>Ross Carroll (Dublin City University)</p>\n<p>Elena Gordon (University College Dublin)</p>\n<p><strong>Description:</strong> The early modern concept of prejudice is currently receiving renewed attention along two dimensions. First\, rising interest in early modern social and non-ideal epistemology has turned to theories of prejudice for explanations of group irrationality and group ignorance and\, more generally\, for early modern vice epistemologies. Second\, theories of prejudice are interesting for how they intersect with emerging theories of social\, racial\, gender and national identity. Despite the centrality of prejudice to long-established narratives about the Enlightenment and the rise of the &lsquo\;new science&rsquo\;\, these &lsquo\;social&rsquo\; aspects of the concept remain understudied.&nbsp\; <br>David Hume's views on prejudice strikingly express these social dimensions.&nbsp\;His central discussion of prejudice (<em>Treatise</em> 1.3.13) connects it to unreflective generalizations of humans based on perceived group membership. He couples this discussion with sophisticated socio-constructivist accounts of many kinds of social identity\, that are at the same time limited by objectionable sexist and racist beliefs.&nbsp\;<br>This conference aims to investigate Hume&rsquo\;s theory of prejudice along the lines indicated above\, but it will also look at his possible inspirations and at his own influence on later authors in the Scottish Enlightenment and beyond. Thus\, spreading outward from Hume\, the conference aims to produce a more comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of the social aspects of prejudice in the broad context in which he was writing.</p>\n<p><strong>Program (Irish times):</strong></p>\n<strong>Tuesday\, 23 June</strong><br>From 9:00 &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; <br><em>Welcome</em><br><br>9:15-10:15&nbsp\;<br>Jacqueline Taylor (San Francisco): &lsquo\;Prejudices: Moral and Immoral&rsquo\;<br><br>10:30-11:30&nbsp\;<br>Jim Chamberlain (Sheffield): &lsquo\;Correcting for General Rules: Hume on Implicit Bias and Prejudice&rsquo\;<br><br>12:00-13:00&nbsp\;<br>Bianca Monteleone (Rome La Sapienza): &lsquo\;Reforming Gendered Prejudices: Women\, Virtue\, and Social Constraints in Hume&rsquo\;s Essays&rsquo\;\n<br>14:15-15:15&nbsp\;<br>Allauren Samantha Forbes (McMaster): &lsquo\;&ldquo\;Prejudices at War with Nature and Reason&rdquo\;: Emotion and Motivated Reasoning in Hume\, Wollstonecraft\, and Amo&rsquo\;<br><br>15:30-16:30<br>Mark G.

SUMMARY:Early Modern Naturalisms: Spinozist and Humean
UID:20260529T012748Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq
TZID:Europe/Budapest
LOCATION:Budapest\, Hungary
DESCRIPTION:<p>While both Hume and Spinoza have been claimed as paradigmatic naturalists\, it is far from clear that they are naturalists in the same sense. Further\, it is not obvious that the label applies to either without qualification. Spinoza&rsquo\;s and Hume&rsquo\;s projects moved in markedly different directions\, so we propose a workshop with the aim of examining what is at stake in calling either thinker a naturalist.</p>\n<p>By placing Spinoza and Hume in conversation on this topic\, the conference seeks to illuminate two distinct (purported) strands of early modern naturalism: one expansive and metaphysical\, the other cautious and anthropological. Are these differences merely a matter of emphasis and scale\, or do they represent fundamentally incompatible conceptions of nature and its significance? Does calling them naturalists collapse their distinct philosophies into a single tradition? And what\, if anything\, is gained by framing the early modern naturalist field in terms of &ldquo\;Spinozist&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Humean&rdquo\; trajectories rather than the more traditional &ldquo\;rationalist&rdquo\; vs. &ldquo\;empiricist&rdquo\; divide?</p>\n<p>We want to revisit early modern naturalism\, not merely as a retrospective label\, but as a philosophical option characterised by contested outlines. Contributors are invited to explore these and related questions for the purpose of critically reevaluating the categories through which early modern thought is often organised\, and reimagining naturalism as a central thread both connecting and dividing the period&rsquo\;s major figures.</p>

DESCRIPTION:<p>The call for papers is hereby opened for the&nbsp\;international conference &ldquo\;Philosophical Roots of National Socialism&rdquo\;\, that will be held from 7-11 September 2026 in the Faculty of Philosophy and Education Sciences of the University of Val&egrave\;ncia. Among the confirmed speakers are\, in alphabetical order\, Barbara Zehnpfennig (Passau / Berlin)\, Christian Hartmann (Potsdam)\, G&uuml\;nter Z&ouml\;ller (Munich)\, Herlinde Pauer-Studer (Vienna)\, &Oacute\;scar Cubo (Val&egrave\;ncia)\, Othmar Pl&ouml\;ckinger (Salzburg)\, Pedro Jes&uacute\;s Teruel (Val&egrave\;ncia) and Salvi Turr&oacute\; (Barcelona).&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Originals related to any aspect of the theoretical foundation of the nationalsocialism and its disastrous political and cultural influence will be welcome. Of particular interest will be the proposals on its philosophical roots\, with special emphasis on the review of these connections in the field of classical German philosophy\, from Kant to Hegel\, and its sources.</p>\n<p>The conference is conceived from the&nbsp\;basic position&nbsp\;that the ideological theses expressed and assumed by the nationalsocialism are intellectually disgusting and have had an extremely horrible effect on world history. This is precisely why it seems important to us to critically examine the roots of those theses and to meticulously research their philosophical background. This unmasks and denounces the self-blameful ignorance and maliciousness of National Socialist ideology. We consider this intellectual work to be particularly important today\, when new political movements are silently developing and insinuating similar theses into the public domain\, thereby jeopardizing the future of humanity.</p>\n<p>PhDs&nbsp\;will submit title and abstract (100 words maximum)\, together with academic affiliation\, until November 20\, 2025 to the email address kv2026@uv.es. Authors who are&nbsp\;not PhD&nbsp\;will also submit the whole text of the paper\, according to the&nbsp\;guidelines&nbsp\;(pp. 2-3). Notice of acceptance will be given before March 19\, 2026. The participation fee is 180 euros (academics) and &euro\; 60 (doctoral students).</p>\n<p>The paper can be redacted and presented in English\, Spanish\, Valencian / Catalan or German. If the paper is written in English\, Spanish or Valencian\, a German translation will be provided before April 22\, 2026 (if it is written in German\, an English translation will be provided). For each paper there will be 30 minutes of exposition and 20 minutes of debate.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp\;originals will be&nbsp\;published&nbsp\;by the prestigious Valencian publisher Tirant lo Blanch. In the ranking of Spanish scientific publishers drawn up by the Spanish Superior Research Council\, Tirant is number 1 out of more than three hundred. The publication will take place in both printed format and e-book.&nbsp\;</p>

DESCRIPTION:<p>The <strong>keynote lecture</strong> will be delivered by <strong>Carolina Armenteros</strong> (Pontificia Universidad Cat&oacute\;lica Madre y Maestra &ndash\; Santo Domingo\, Rep&uacute\;blica Dominicana)\, whose many seminal books include The French Idea of History: Joseph de Maistre and his Heirs\, 1794&ndash\;1854 (Cornell UP\, 2011) and Joseph de Maistre and his European Readers: From Friedrich von Gentz to Isaiah Berlin (Brill\, 2011).</p>\n<p>The concept of counter-revolution is as old as the beginning of the French Revolution. It appeared as early as 1789\, as a term characterizing the resurgence of royal power against the National Assembly. Later\, the royalist rebels of the Vend&eacute\;e were described as counter-revolutionaries. From an etymological perspective\, however\, the term has far outgrown the events of French history.Roughly speaking\, every intellectual or practical manifestation that arose against revolutions was labeled as counter-revolution. The term was most often\, of course\, used in a negative sense. In Hungary\, for example\, the communist state party used it to refer to the events of 1956. In this way\, it referred to opposition to progress\, the defense of an 'old\, failed\, bad political order\,' and the demand for its restoration. Today\, however\, an internationally intellectual interpretation of the concept of counter-revolution has developed. A rereading of its intellectual representatives has revealed that the term by no means denotes the expression of a morally bad worldview. As a result\, nowadays it is much more closely associated with modern conservatism.For our conference\, we primarily expect presentations that showcase the work of authors associated with the idea of the counter-revolution. We also welcome innovative interpretations of events understood as counter-revolutionary.</p>\n<p>We invite proposals for papers that engage with the following topics\, among others:</p>\n<p>- Interpretation and presentation of the major or lesser-known works of counter-revolutionary authors</p>\n<p>- The counter-revolution in the approach of conceptual history</p>\n<p>- The counter-revolution in literature and other artistic dimensions</p>\n<p>- Victories and Defeats: The Political Dimensions of the Counter-Revolution</p>\n<p>- The Role of Religion in the Ideas of the Counter-Revolution</p>\n<p>The conference has no registration fees. For a limited number of participants who cannot benefitfinancial support from their institution\, accommodation bursaries may be available. Interestedapplicants should state this clearly in their paper proposals.</p>\n<p>Abstracts of 300 words for 20 minute papers should be submitted to&nbsp\;<strong>heroesofcounterrevolution2026@gmail.com</strong>\, along with the applicant&rsquo\;s name\,a contact email address and a short (max. 200 words) biography.</p>\n<p>All applications are welcomed and will be reviewedby the Organising Committee.</p>\n<p>Location:</p>\n<p>University of Public Service &ndash\; Ludovika Campus\, Wing Building\, John Lukacs Lounge</p>\n<p>H-1083 Budapest\, Ludovika t&eacute\;r 1.</p>

SUMMARY:Obligation and Normativity in Modern Moral Philosophy

DESCRIPTION:<p>What is distinctive about&nbsp\;<em>modern</em>&nbsp\;moral philosophy\, i.e.\, that written in the 17th&nbsp\;and 18th&nbsp\;centuries\, is often considered to be its conception of obligation. G.E.M. Anscombe\, for instance\, famously argued that modern moral philosophers\, and her contemporaries under their influence\, were wrong to try and ground the normativity of morality without reference to a divine lawgiver. Whether they are critical or merely interpretive in nature\, the views of many other influential philosophers such as H.A. Prichard\, Bernard Williams\, and Stephen Darwall have all agreed in this respect. Indeed\, Christine Korsgaard describes what she calls &lsquo\;the normative question\,&rsquo\; that is\, what&nbsp\;<em>justifies</em>&nbsp\;the demands that morality makes on us\, as one that was especially pressing for modern moral philosophers from roughly Grotius to Kant. How did modern moral philosophers explain the normativity of morality? How do modern figures use the concept of obligation to account for the normativity of morality? This conference and the planned edited volume will address these and related questions. Collectively\, the participants will engage with the works of a variety of major and minor figures from the modern period to enrich our historical and systematic understanding of the nature of morality&rsquo\;s normativity.</p>
