By tracing the idea from Archimedean mechanics\, to Newton and the post-Newtonians\, classical thermodynamics\, quantum mechanics\, general relativity\, contemporary quantum and gravitational physics\, biology\, and economics\, we hope to provide a deeper understanding of this distinctive mode of reasoning and explanation as it changes shape and texture throughout the history of science. \;

\nIn the wake of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami\, artists attempt to explore ways to present the motif of &ldquo\;3/11&rdquo\; beyond geographic confinement&mdash\;beyond Japan. Given restricted access to the nuclear zone\, how do artists respond to &ldquo\;3/11&rdquo\; without direct physical proximity to Fukushima? How do overseas Japanese artists represent what took place back in their homeland? How do people outside Japan gain the access to experience and respond to &ldquo\;3/11&rdquo\;? To grapple with this representational dilemma of &ldquo\;here and there\,&rdquo\; this paper looks at the performance art of the contemporary Japanese artist Ei Arakawa&mdash\;Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent? (2014). In this conceptual project\, he attempted to mediate a geographic gap between New York (where he works) and Fukushima (where he comes from). He also intended to reach a geographical balance between Fukushima and the international audience by bringing his family to Frieze London. In dialogue with Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent?\, this paper brings comparative examples of Rirkrit Tiravanija&rsquo\;s installation Untitled (Free/Still) (2007) and the socially engaged art piece Conflict Kitchen (2010). This paper attempts to extend the metaphor of a geographic boundary to invisible yet crucial boundaries among people\, and to further spatialize what Nicolas Bourriaud regards as relational aesthetics. Visual representations of &ldquo\;here and there&rdquo\; can thus be thematically translated into a rendering of boundaries between artists and spectators/participants\, between social environment and human beings and between different ethnic groups. Moreover\, this paper examines the instrumental role of food in performance art. With the same incorporation of food\, these works take advantage of the taste to unite people from different backgrounds\, and to provide a corporeal medium to raise concerns for nuclear radiation and safety. The remediation of food\, in art practice and social media\, further produces a micro-social and micro-political narrative to think of food safety\, human safety\, and community conflicts.
\nAbstract in Japanese (if needed): 「あちらとこちら」：現代パフォーマンス・アートにおける食、安全、そしてコミュニティ 要旨では、2011年の東日本大震災と津波のあと、アーティストたちが 「3/11」を日本の外でどう表現するか を考える研究だと説明されています。特に、福島に直接近づけない状況で、アーティストはどう反応するのか、海外にいる日本人アーティストは故郷で起きたことをどう表すのか、日本の外にいる人はどうやってその出来事に触れ、応答するのか、という問いが立てられています。中心事例として扱われるのは、Ei Arakawa の Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent? (2014) です。要旨によれば、この作品は ニューヨークと福島の地理的な隔たりを媒介しようとした企画として読まれています。比較される例として、Rirkrit Tiravanija の Untitled (Free/Still) (2007) と、社会参加型アートの Conflict Kitchen (2010) も挙げられています。福島の出来事を、食べ物を使ったアートで世界の人にどう伝えるかを考える発表です。 そして、食べ物は人をつなぐだけでなく、安全や不安、社会の対立について考えさせる力を持つ、というのがポイントです。

It is generally accepted that fields such as physics rely more on laws for their explanatory practices than disciplines such as cell biology\, which are\, for the most part\, concerned with mechanistic explanations\, for example. In the philosophy of science\, particularly since the advent of the New Mechanism literature in the 1990s\, barring some exceptions\, there has been relatively little sustained work on the pragmatic side of law-based explanations as opposed to other explanatory modalities\, and the interest that law-based explanations have garnered has mostly focused on the metaphysics of laws. This workshop aims to bring the philosophy of law-based explanations\, with particular attention to their pragmatic dimensions\, back into focus. Moreover\, while being historically informed\, the hope is to discuss new directions within this strand of the philosophy of explanation. Some questions for consideration could include (in no particular order):

\nSpecial Issue on the Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles
\nManuscrito: International Journal of Philosophy invites submissions in English for a special issue devoted to the Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles (PII).
\nGuest Editor: Leonardo G. S. Videira (University of Sã\;o Paulo &ndash\; FAPESP)
\nThe Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles (PII)\, in its most widespread formulation\, states that any two things sharing all the same properties are in fact identical\; in other words\, no two distinct things share all their properties. Despite its apparent simplicity\, the principle has remained one of the most contested theses in the history of metaphysics. Classical and contemporary counterexamples &ndash\; such as Kant&rsquo\;s droplets\, Black&rsquo\;s spheres\, and entangled bosons &ndash\; appear to involve numerically distinct yet indiscernible entities\, thereby challenging the principle's truth.
\nDebates concerning the PII extend well beyond the question of its truth or falsity\, however. They encompass issues regarding the interpretation of its constituent notions\, the modal status of the principle\, and the nature of the necessity\, if any\, that underwrites it. Moreover\, the PII plays a central role in a wide range of philosophical discussions\, including the dispute between bundle and substratum theories\, the ontology of quantum mechanics\, the metaphysics of mathematical objects\, and the relationship between indiscernibility and identity.
\nThe last two decades have witnessed significant developments in these debates. This special issue aims to bring together contributions that advance our understanding of the PII\, its implications\, and its applications across different areas of philosophy.

The workshop &ldquo\;Observation\, Theory\, and Progress in Seismology&rdquo\; will bring together researchers from seismology and from history and philosophy of science to address the relation between theory\, observation/instrumentation and progress in seismology. \; \; Many accounts of progress in science tell a story that focuses largely on theoretical breakthroughs&mdash\;just think of how the theoretical achievements of Newton\, Einstein\, or Darwin are thought to mark the progress of modern science. Yet our capacity to &ldquo\;observe&rdquo\; (broadly understood) nature has progressed in no less impressive ways\, across the natural sciences\, from early telescopes to the massive interferometers of the LIGO project\, from magnifying glasses to electron microscopes\, and from intensity scales to broadband seismometry and global seismic networks. How have improvements in observational capabilities led to progress in the physical sciences? In what ways are the development of instrumentation and theory interdependent? Seismology is a science that we might see as having largely been driven by the development of instrumentation\, but developments in seismological theory have also been crucial for progress. The study of seismology from a historical and philosophical perspective is likely to uncover new insights into how science in general and seismology in particular makes progress. \; \;
Sttructure:
There will be 4 talks and a panel discussion.
The talks will be given by Hiroo Kanamori (Caltech)\, Susan Hough (USGS)\, Teru Mirake (NTU Singapore)\, and Alisa Bokulich (Boston University).
The panel discusion will be led by Miguel Ohnesorge (University of Boston)\, Jamee Elder (Tufts)\, Lucy Jones (Caltech)\, and Thomas Heaton (Caltech).

\nDeadline: Papers (5\,000&ndash\;9\,000 words) may be submitted through the journal&rsquo\;s website.
\nMarinus Dirk (Dick) Stafleu (1937&ndash\;2024) wrote extensively on philosophy of physics\, and encyclopedically on the sciences at large. \;Drawing on and critiquing the work of Herman Dooyeweerd\, he made important contributions to a Reformational philosophy of science reaching from mathematics to social and political sciences. \;However\, since his passing in November 2024\, Stafleu's legacy appears largely limited to his 24 papers in Philosophia Reformata\, 5 papers in other peer-reviewed journals\, and some 15 books in English and Dutch\, mostly self-published on his own website (although 5 were published in print by various minor publishing houses).
\nWe invite scholars who have drawn on any of Stafleu's work to contribute to a special issue that will clarify and situate his contributions in the philosophical foundations of physics and of the sciences more broadly. \;Topics might include\, for example:
