LOCATION:Schlossplatz 2\, Münster\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:<p>In recent years\, Schopenhauer has increasingly been recognized as a significant point of reference for work in both philosophy of science and ethics of science. In addition to foundational studies of his theory of science\, there is growing interest in his influence on particular disciplines\, including biology\, physics\, mathematics\, and cognitive science. The conference aims to bring these lines of research into conversation and to explore their broader systematic relevance.</p>

DESCRIPTION:Carlyle Conference\n\n\n\nCall for Papers\nThomas Carlyle and the Twenty-First Century\n<p>Reexamining Carlyle Amid Political\, Economic\, Technological\, and Religious Change</p>\n<p>University of New Hampshire<br>May 28&ndash\;29\, 2027</p>\n<p>Nearly a decade has passed since scholars last gathered for a major international conference devoted to Thomas Carlyle&rsquo\;s life\, writings\, intellectual networks\, reception\, and legacies. Following conferences at Villanova (2007)\, Dumfries (2008)\, Edinburgh (2012)\, Oxford (2016)\, and Cambridge (2019)\, <em>Thomas Carlyle and the Twenty-First Century</em> will provide an opportunity to assess the current state&mdash\;and consider the future&mdash\;of Carlyle studies.</p>\n<p>The conference coincides with the completion or maturation of several major scholarly enterprises:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the Norman and Charlotte Strouse Edition of the <em>Writings of Thomas Carlyle</em>\, published by the University of California Press\, under the leadership of Chris Vanden Bossche</li>\n<li>the fifty-volume <em>Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle</em>\, published by Duke University Press\, together with the continuing development of <em>Carlyle Letters Online</em>\; and</li>\n<li>the Oxford University Press edition of <em>The French Revolution: A History</em>.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These achievements invite both celebration and reassessment. What new questions become possible now that scholars have access to an unprecedented range of Carlylean texts\, letters\, editions\, and digital resources? What can Carlyle studies contribute to nineteenth-century studies and to broader debates in intellectual\, political\, religious\, economic\, and cultural history? Conversely\, what might the concerns of the twenty-first century reveal anew about Carlyle and his world?</p>\n<p>The conference particularly invites reconsiderations of Carlyle in relation to political\, economic\, technological\, and religious challenges that connect&mdash\;and distinguish&mdash\;the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. How did Carlyle understand ideological division\, political authority\, democracy\, revolution\, nationalism\, social cohesion\, and international conflict? How did his diagnoses of industrial capitalism engage questions of inequality\, poverty\, exploitation\, class antagonism\, commodification\, and globalization? How might his critique of the &ldquo\;Mechanical Age&rdquo\; be reread in a period increasingly shaped by automation\, artificial intelligence\, digital media\, and rapid technological transformation? How did Carlyle respond to religious doubt and secularization\, to Christianity and Islam\, and to the search for faith and spiritual authority in a disenchanted world?</p>\n<p>These questions require sustained critical attention to the political and ethical limitations of Carlyle&rsquo\;s thought. How should twenty-first-century scholarship approach his arguments concerning hierarchy\, authority\, race\, slavery\, empire\, democracy\, and political violence? Where do Carlyle&rsquo\;s diagnoses illuminate problems that remain recognizable today\, and where do his proposed remedies reveal the historical limitations\, contradictions\, or dangers of his thinking? Rather than presuming Carlyle&rsquo\;s contemporary relevance\, the conference invites participants to investigate the forms that his relevance&mdash\;or irrelevance&mdash\;might take.</p>\n<p>We welcome new readings of Carlyle&rsquo\;s major works\, including <em>Sartor Resartus</em>\, <em>The French Revolution</em>\, <em>On Heroes\, Hero-Worship\, and the Heroic in History</em>\, <em>Past and Present</em>\, and <em>Latter-Day Pamphlets</em>\, as well as his biographies\, histories\, journalism\, correspondence\, and lesser-studied essays. Papers might examine Carlyle&rsquo\;s treatments of historical crisis\, revolution\, leadership\, work\, belief\, social order\, modernity\, and renewal\; his rhetoric and experiments with literary form\; or the extent to which his writings anticipated\, misread\, or remained bound to the political and intellectual conditions of the nineteenth century.</p>\n<p>The conference welcomes papers on all aspects of Thomas Carlyle&rsquo\;s life\, writings\, thought\, reception\, networks\, and influence. We also invite work on Jane Welsh Carlyle and on the wider intellectual\, literary\, political\, and cultural worlds in which the Carlyles participated. Papers might consider how the Carlyles imagined historical rupture and renewal\; how their writings circulated internationally and across disciplines\; or how Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle have repeatedly disappeared from&mdash\;and returned to&mdash\;scholarly and public attention.</p>\n<p>We particularly encourage scholarship that reconsiders established interpretations in light of current approaches to nineteenth-century studies. Proposals are welcome from scholars at all career stages and from a wide range of disciplines\, including literary studies\, history\, intellectual history\, political thought\, economic thought\, philosophy\, religious studies\, book history\, art history\, Victorian studies\, and the digital humanities.</p>\n<p>Possible topics include\, but are not limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Romanticism\, Idealism\, Platonism\, and Transcendentalism</li>\n<li>Carlyle and the Enlightenment</li>\n<li>capitalism\, industrialism\, labor\, poverty\, and political economy</li>\n<li>socialism\, communism\, and Marxism</li>\n<li>democracy\, authority\, leadership\, and heroism</li>\n<li>revolution\, political violence\, and social order</li>\n<li>nationalism\, cosmopolitanism\, empire\, and globalization</li>\n<li>race\, slavery\, abolition\, and colonialism</li>\n<li>Christianity\, Islam\, religious belief\, doubt\, and secularization</li>\n<li>technology\, mechanization\, automation\, and the &ldquo\;Mechanical Age&rdquo\;</li>\n<li>utilitarianism\, Stoicism\, fatalism\, and theories of history</li>\n<li>rhetoric\, satire\, historiography\, biography\, and literary form</li>\n<li>readers\, critics\, publishers\, translators\, and international reception</li>\n<li>Jane Welsh Carlyle\, correspondence\, gender\, marriage\, and domestic life</li>\n<li>archives\, scholarly editing\, digital humanities\, and <em>Carlyle Letters Online</em></li>\n<li>Carlyle&rsquo\;s disappearance from&mdash\;and possible return to&mdash\;the literary and intellectual canon</li>\n<li>the future of Carlyle studies</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We also welcome papers examining Carlyle in relation to particular writers and thinkers\, including Plato\, Aristotle\, Immanuel Kant\, Johann Gottlieb Fichte\, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe\, G. W. F. Hegel\, Ralph Waldo Emerson\, Henry David Thoreau\, Margaret Fuller\, John Stuart Mill\, Charles Dickens\, Karl Marx\, Friedrich Engels\, Friedrich Nietzsche\, Virginia Woolf\, and other figures whose work illuminates Carlyle&rsquo\;s intellectual networks\, reception\, or legacy.</p>\n<p>At a moment when the writings of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle are more comprehensively available than ever before\, the conference asks a broader question:</p>\n<p>What remains unread\, underexamined\, or misunderstood in the Carlyles&mdash\;and what should the next generation of Carlyle scholarship seek to discover?</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubmission Information\n\n\n<p>Please submit an abstract of your paper of approximately 250&ndash\;300 words\, together with a brief biographical note\, to Brian Wolfel at Brian.Wolfel@unh.edu</a> by January 10\, 2027.</p>\n<p>Proposals for individual papers\, panels\, roundtables\, and alternative formats are welcome.

SUMMARY:Phenomenology in Times of Crises
UID:20261114T001641Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:9818:29ff:fe0f:b9a3%3
TZID:Europe/Vilnius
LOCATION:Universiteto g. 9\, Vilnius\, Lithuania\, 001122
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Venue</strong>: Vilnius University\, Faculty of Philosophy\, Vilnius\, Lithuania</p>\n<p><strong>Date</strong>: 25-27 August 2027</p>\n<p><strong>Organized by</strong>:&nbsp\;Vilnius University\, The Faculty of Philosophy\, Lithuanian Society for Phenomenology&nbsp\;&amp\;&nbsp\;Central and East European Society for Phenomenology</p>\n<p>In his later writings\, Husserl diagnosed a crisis of the European sciences\, which he understood as a crisis of reason and of meaning\, rooted in an objectivism that had lost touch with the world of lived experience. His reflections gave the concept of crisis a central place in phenomenological philosophy and influenced subsequent developments within the tradition. Since then\, phenomenologists have approached the question of crisis from different perspectives\, examining what happens when our familiar ways of understanding ourselves\, others\, and the world are called into question.</p>\n<p>Beyond its historical and cultural register\, crisis names a structural possibility of renewal as such. Every constitution of sense rests on a horizon of anticipations that can be disappointed\, disrupted\, or overturned\; every habitual\, taken-for-granted world can lose its self-evidence and become questionable. Phenomenology is uniquely equipped to describe this dynamic of rupture and reconstitution&ndash\;the disorientation that follows the collapse of a horizon\, and the subsequent work of reorientation\, reinterpretation\, and renewed sense-making through which experience recovers\, or fails to recover\, its coherence.</p>\n<p>Crisis touches the embodied subjectivity no less than the world of meaning. Illness\, disability\, aging\, and the approach of death expose the fragility of embodied existence and disclose dimensions of experience that ordinarily remain hidden behind the body&rsquo\;s silent functioning. Boundary situations of this kind&ndash\;moments of extremity in which habitual ways of being-in-the-world no longer hold&ndash\;have long served phenomenology as privileged occasions for uncovering the deep structures of subjectivity\, anxiety\, finitude\, and freedom.</p>\n<p>Crisis also unsettles the shared\, intersubjective texture of the world. Experiences of alienation\, loneliness\, and the erosion of common ground raise questions about what holds a community&rsquo\;s world together and what happens when it comes apart. Migration\, exile\, displacement\, and statelessness bring the distinction between homeworlds and alienworlds into sharp relief\, prompting phenomenological reflection on foreignness\, hospitality\, and the possibility of a shared world across difference.</p>\n<p>On the political plane\, crisis takes the form of violence\, war\, oppression\, and the breakdown of institutional and normative order\, but also of the solidarity\, resistance\, and care that arise in response to it. Phenomenology&rsquo\;s attention to lived\, first-person experience offers distinctive resources for understanding how political crises are felt\, resisted\, and endured\, and how new forms of collective action and responsibility emerge from them.</p>\n<p>The ecological crisis poses a further\, urgent challenge: what happens to the world\, nature\, human place within it\, once the natural environment itself becomes a site of instability and loss? Ecophenomenological reflection on landscape\, environment\, and the more-than-human world takes on new significance in this context\, as does the broader question of how phenomenology can contribute to thinking the Anthropocene.</p>\n<p>Technological transformation brings its own forms of crisis: the mediation and fragmentation of attention\, the proliferation of virtual and digital worlds\, and the destabilization of familiar boundaries between the natural\, the artificial\, and the human. These developments invite phenomenological analysis of how technology reshapes perception\, embodiment\, and our sense of a common world.</p>\n<p>Finally\, crisis can be turned reflexively upon phenomenology itself: upon the crisis of truth and epistemic authority in public life\, as well as upon phenomenology&rsquo\;s own methods\, presuppositions\, and capacity for self-renewal. Every crisis\, on this view\, is also an occasion for the kind of radical questioning from which phenomenology first arose.</p>\n<p>The goal of this conference is to bring together these many senses of crisis and explore how phenomenology can illuminate the experience of crisis in its many forms\, both within the phenomenological tradition and in current research that extends beyond it. We invite participants to discuss the meaning of crisis and its new applications stemming from phenomenological philosophy.</p>\n<p>The contributions can\, for example\, focus on the following themes:</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; The phenomenological concept of crisis: its meaning\, structure\, and method</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; The crisis of the sciences and of rationality</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Boundary situations\, anxiety\, finitude\, and death</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Illness\, disability\, aging\, and the vulnerable or fragile body</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Phenomenological psychiatry and psychopathology: breakdown and recovery</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Trauma\, memory\, and the temporality of crisis</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Homeworlds and alienworlds: migration\, exile\, displacement</p>\n<p>&bull\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Violence\, war\, and the phenomenology of political crisis</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Solidarity\, resistance\, care\, and collective responsibility in crisis</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Ecological crisis\, the Anthropocene\, and ecophenomenology</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Technology\, digitalization\, and the crisis of mediated experience</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Institutions\, normativity\, and the breakdown of social order</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Crisis and creativity: art\, literature\, and aesthetic responses to rupture</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Historical crisis\, generational rupture\, and the phenomenology of tradition</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Anxiety\, fear\, uncertainty as phenomenological responses to crisis</p>\n<p>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Hope\, peace\, resilience\, and the phenomenology of renewal after crisis</p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed keynote speakers</strong>: Nicolas de Warren (Penn State)\, Saulius Geniu&scaron\;as (CUHK)</p>\n<p><strong>Language</strong>: The conference will be held in English</p>\n<p><strong>Deadline for submissions</strong>: 18 April 2027</p>\n<p><strong>Notifications of acceptance</strong>: 18 May 2027</p>\n<p><strong>E-mail</strong>:&nbsp\;tomas.sinkunas@fsf.vu.lt</p>\n<p><strong>Registration fee</strong>: 70 EUR</p>\n<p><strong><em>Submission types:&nbsp\;</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Individual papers</strong>: Please submit an anonymized abstract of the proposed contribution (max. 300 words) and a cover letter with affiliation and contact information.

DESCRIPTION:<ol><li>Social contracts emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries as responses to the decline of naturalistic theories of social organization which derived from the belief in a divine order which enforced the will of God through absolute monarchs. However\, (1) naturalistic theories of the universe (especially Newton&rsquo\;s mechanics)\, (2) the emergence of religious diversity which made difficult the possibility of a consensus on what constitutes the &ldquo\;will of God&rdquo\; and hence the social and political order derived from that will and (3) the rise of natural science as an epistemological framework for both the description of reality and the articulation of knowledge. &nbsp\;In this context\, social contracts theories start by a hypothetical &ldquo\;state of nature&rdquo\; on what would happen if humans were left on their own without authority. They reject the biblical narrative of special human beings created in the image of God.</li>\n<li>This essay will argue for a social order based on the notion of information. Going back to Wiener (1948)&rsquo\;s definition of information as &ldquo\;negative entropy&rdquo\; i.e. &ldquo\;negative disorder&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;degree of organization&rdquo\;\, information is defined as patterns of (self)-organising matter and energy at the micromolecular\, neural\, cultural\, bureaucratic levels and in artifacts such farms\, social and economic systems\, corporations and software. Information creates an ecological continuity between the inorganic\, the organic\, and the artificial through a parallelism between levels of control (Beniger\, 1986) and levels of consciousness (Fuchs-Kittowiski\, 1991). Henceforth\, with information processing occurring in macromolecules such as the DNA\, across synaptic connections\, in various social organisations but also in a formalized way in bureaucracies and in artifacts such as software\, corporations\, farms and human made organisations\, there is a possibility of transcending the idea that the public is made of real individual human beings because there is a growing &ldquo\;online constituency&rdquo\; made of facebook and watsapp groups\, twitter and youtube videos where where people express their grievances and exchange views without necessary sharing the same physical space.</li>\n<li>The notion of The Public goes much beyond people who share physical boundaries. One may also argue that the Public goes beyond individual human beings and includes artificial intelligent agents such as robots\, automated production systems\, corporations\, or human-made environments such as buildings\, farms or genetically modified organisms.&nbsp\;</li>\n</ol>\n\n&nbsp\;

DESCRIPTION:<p>This series invites proposals in classical phenomenology\, French phenomenology\, pre- and post-phenomenologies\, and in methodologies that bridge phenomenology and analytic philosophy. The relation between phenomenology and religious experience can be considered in a variety of modes: epistemic (phenomenology as a "rigorous science" of religious experience in Husserl's sense)\; ontic (phenomenology as a way to access the core motive\, or regulative ideal\, of religion)\; analogical (phenomenological experience as a secular version of religious experience)\; generalizing (religious experience turning into phenomenological experience when stripped from its dogmatic frame)\, etc. Proposals can take critical\, descriptive\, theoretical\, comparative\, historical\, or other approaches\, and they can focus on the interplay between religious or spiritual experience and assorted theoretical approaches\, or proceed from such experience towards building a new theory. In accord with Husserl&rsquo\;s original intent\, the series welcomes attempts to locate spiritual or religious experience within a broader theory of the sciences (Wissenschaftslehre) and to expand phenomenology towards transcendental philosophy and metaphysics.<br><br>The series covers five areas:<br>1) Clarifications of religious and spiritual experience\, its formal phenomenological research\, and its relationships to art\, textuality\, culture\, anthropology\, politics\, and comparative religion\;<br>2) Metaphysical extensions of the phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience\;<br>3) Existential and psychological analyses\, in different traditions\, of religious and spiritual experience\;<br>4) Theologies of religious experience\, with or beyond a specific focus on ritual and liturgy\, including liberation theologies\, feminist theologies\, theologies at the intersection of religious experience and race\, social status\, etc.\;<br>5) The phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience as applied to and/ or examined within medicine\, nursing\, and the health sciences and the natural and social sciences.<br><br>The series is published in cooperation with the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience\,&nbsp\;www.sophere.org.<br><br><br>Editors:&nbsp\;Michael Barber (michael.barber@slu.edu)\, Peter Costello (PCOSTELL@providence.edu)\, Olga Louchakova-Schwartz (founding editor\,&nbsp\;olouch@ucdavis.edu)\, and Martin Nitsche (nitsche@flu.cas.cz)</p>\n\n<p><br>Advisory Board:&nbsp\;Jason Alvis (University of Vienna)\, Angela Ales Bello (Pontifical Lateran University)\, Michel Bitbol (The French National Center for Scientific Research)\, Carla Canullo (University of Macerata)\, David Ciavatta (Ryerson University)\, Crina Gschwandtner (Fordham University)\, Neal DeRoo (The King&rsquo\;s University)\, Thomas Fuchs (University of Heidelberg)\, James G.
