Čs. legi&iacute\; 150/9</p>\n\n<p>Naturalism has become an increasingly popular position in the philosophy of history over the past decade\, mainly through the works of Paul Roth\, Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen\, and most recently also Michal Hub&aacute\;lek. As such\, it raises important questions about the object\, methods\, and aims of the philosophy of historiography\, as well as the field&rsquo\;s relationship to historiography. In this workshop\, we will discuss these and related questions on the occasion of the recent publication of Michal Hub&aacute\;lek&rsquo\;s book<em>&nbsp\;Dissolving Naturalism and Historicism Into Each Other</em>.</p>\n\n<p>The workshop is open to everybody. If you would like to join in person or via Zoom\, please register with&nbsp\;<a  href="mailto:georg.gangl@osu.cz"  target="_blank">georg.gangl@osu.cz</a>&nbsp\;by June 15.

SUMMARY:The Armchair on Trial: A Graduate Conference on Philosophical Methodology

DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Topic:</strong><br>This year'sannual WFAP graduate conference is devoted to debates around philosophical methodology. It is centered around the question of whether philosophy is best done from the philosophical armchair or whether it can and should be done using empirical methods. The conference is focused on the extent to which the emergence of naturalistic approaches and of experimental philosophy (&ldquo\;X-Phi&rdquo\;) pose a problem to &lsquo\;traditional&rsquo\; armchair methods (e.g. consulting intuitions\, conceptual analysis\, reflective equilibrium\, conceptual engineering). We are interested both in work that focuses on individual methods or on the relations between them (e.g. their compatibility).</p>\n<p>We aim to bring together early career and advanced researchers in order to discuss questions such as:&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the role of intuition in philosophy?</li>\n<li>What is the role of a priori knowledge in philosophy?</li>\n<li>What is the role of X-Phi in philosophy?</li>\n<li>What is the role of conceptual analysis in philosophy?</li>\n<li>What is the role of conceptual engineering in philosophy?</li>\n<li>What is the role of linguistic and conceptual competence in philosophy?</li>\n<li>What is the role of formal methods in philosophy?</li>\n<li>Is philosophy importantly distinct from other sciences?&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>How can advocates of armchair methods best respond to the challenges raised by X-Phi?</li>\n<li>Are armchair philosophy and X-Phi reconcilable?</li>\n<li>Considering the methodological discussions listed above\, are professional philosophers epistemically better positioned for answering philosophical questions than lay people? E.g. Do they have better conceptual competence? Are they expert intuiters?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We welcome submissions that apply these methodological issues to other philosophical debates as case studies.</p>\n<p>If you wish to align your talk with the <strong>WFAP's reading circle</strong> in preparation for the conference\, feel free to check out our readings here:<br><u><em>https://wfap.philo.at/reading-schedule-25-26/</em></u></p>\n<p>You can take a look at our <strong>past graduate conferences</strong> here:<br><u><em>https://wfap.philo.at/conferences</em></u></p>\n

SUMMARY:Nonsense in Language and Thought

DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Title:</strong></p>\n<p><em>Nonsense in Language and Thought</em></p>\n<p><strong>Guest editor:</strong></p>\n<p>Krystian Bogucki (Polish Academy of Sciences)</p>\n<p><strong>Journal:</strong></p>\n<p><em>Studia Semiotyczne (Semiotic Studies)</em></p>\n<p>https://studiasemiotyczne.pts.edu.pl/</p>\n<p><strong>Deadline for submissions:</strong></p>\n<p>the 1st of May 2026</p>\n<p><strong>Description</strong></p>\n<p><em>Studia Semiotyczne&nbsp\;</em><em>(Semiotic Studies)</em>&nbsp\;invites submissions for a special issue of the journal. Papers should be written in English and prepared for blind review.</p>\n<p>An interest in nonsense was a hallmark of the early analytic philosophy. Bertrand Russell (1908) thought that a theory of nonsense could help us avoid some daunting paradoxes in logic. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1922\, 1953) and Rudolf Carnap (1931) recognised nonsense as a fundamental concept for philosophical criticism. They claimed that much of philosophical discourse is defective in the most fundamental way: it is neither true nor false\, it does not consist of thoughts and propositions &ndash\; it is nonsense. According to the early Wittgenstein\, philosophers want to describe the nature of the world\, thought\, language and ethics\, but they unwittingly fall into nonsense. The&nbsp\;<em>Tractatus</em>&nbsp\;was supposed to free us from this troublesome position by presenting a perspicuous notation. On the other hand\, the later Wittgenstein claimed that we should compare deceptive philosophical images with our ordinary ways of thinking and speaking in order to avoid nonsense. Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday\, so we must always remember the everyday use of concepts. For Carnap\, propositions should be reducible to sense data and constructed according to the rules of logical syntax in order to be meaningful.</p>\n<p>Later\, the topic of nonsense was discussed by Alfred Ayer\, Gilbert Ryle\, Willard V. O. Quine\, Arthur Prior\, Richard Routley and Georg H. von Wright\, among others. Since the late 1970s\, however\, the interest in nonsense has faded. Only recently\, some important works have been published. The first important stimulus came from foundational works on theories of nonsense (Cappelen 2012\, 2013\; Camp 2004\; Glock 2015\; Magidor 2009\, 2013). The second source of the revival of interest in nonsense was Wittgenstein scholarship on the austere and substantial conceptions of nonsense (Conant 2001\; Diamond 1995\, 2005\; Glock 2004\; Hacker 2003\; Moore 2003\; Sullivan 2003). Some works also examined the relation of nonsense to other phenomena (Gotham 2017\, Keller and Keller 2021\, Shaw 2015\, Sorensen 2003).</p>\n<p>The important questions to be addressed in the forthcoming volume are (to name but a few): What are the sources of nonsense? Are some parts of philosophical and non-philosophical discourse nonsense? What is the relation between nonsense and figurative speech? Is it at all possible to be wrong whether our own thoughts are meaningful? We hope that the special issue of&nbsp\;<em>Studia Semiotyczne</em>&nbsp\;will further strengthen and deepen the scholarly interest in nonsense.</p>\n<p>Possible topics include\, but are not limited to:</p>\n<p>Theories of nonsense</p>\n<p>Nonsense and logical syntax</p>\n<p>Nonsense and category mistakes</p>\n<p>Nonsense and figurative speech (e.g. metaphor\, metonymy)</p>\n<p>Nonsense and fiction</p>\n<p>History of the concept of nonsense (in particular Wittgenstein's and the Vienna Circle's views on nonsense)</p>\n<p>Nonsense and understanding</p>\n<p>Nonsense and illusions of sense</p>\n<p>Nonsense and quantification</p>\n<p>Nonsense and linguistics</p>\n<p>Nonsense and ineffability</p>\n<p>Nonsense\, knowledge-how and knowledge-that</p>\n<p>Logics of nonsense</p>\n<p>Nonsense and semantic paradoxes</p>\n<p>How to diagnose philosophical nonsense?</p>\n<p>Metaphilosophical and methodological issues concerning nonsense</p>\n<p>In order to submit the paper\, one is kindly asked to submit the manuscript by sending it to:</p>\n<p>krystian.bogucki@ifispan.edu.pl&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;studiasemiotyczne@pts.edu.pl</p>\n<p>All submitted papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed.</p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p>About the journal:</p>\n<p><em>Studia Semiotyczne</em>&nbsp\;(<em>Semiotic Studies</em>) is a journal founded in 1970 by Jerzy Pelc\, its editor-in-chief until 2015. Between 1970 and 2015\,&nbsp\;<em>Studia Semiotyczne</em>&nbsp\;was published non-periodically (during that period\, 29 volumes were published). In December 2015\,&nbsp\;<em>Studia Semiotyczne</em>&nbsp\;was transformed into a six-monthly print and Internet publication. Papers accepted for publication in the journal revolve around various aspects of semiotics (conceived in the Morris-Carnap sense) and philosophy. Papers submitted as articles are subject to a double-blind peer review.&nbsp\;<em>Studia Semiotyczne</em>&nbsp\;is an open-access journal published by The Polish Semiotic Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Semiotyczne).</p>\n<p>The journal is present in&nbsp\;Academica\,&nbsp\;BazHum\,&nbsp\;CEEOL\,&nbsp\;CEJSH\,&nbsp\;DOAJ\, EBSCO Discovery Service\,&nbsp\;ERIH Plus\,&nbsp\;Index Copernicus\,&nbsp\;Library of Science\, Philosopher&rsquo\;s Index\,&nbsp\;PhilPapers\,&nbsp\;Polona\,&nbsp\;Scopus&nbsp\;and Web of Science.

DESCRIPTION:<p>10th Conference of the International Network Hegel&rsquo\;s Relevance</p>\n<p><strong>Hegel on Historicity</strong></p>\n<p>Athens\, Greece</p>\n<p>5-7 November 2026</p>\n<p>Despite important precedents in Augustine\, Bossuet\, Voltaire\, Kant\, and Herder\, Hegel is widely regarded as the first philosopher of history&mdash\;not only because he subjected history to philosophical inquiry\, but above all because he thematized the historicity of philosophy itself. Alongside his much-debated philosophy of world history\, Hegel repeatedly stressed\, throughout his oeuvre and especially in numerous programmatic and introductory remarks\, that philosophy\, including all metaphysical categories\, and even rationality itself is substantially conditioned by history&mdash\;by world history as well as by the histories of empirical sciences\, art\, religion\, and philosophy. For Hegel\, history articulates the very possibility of the actual spirit (<em>Geist</em>) in all its forms: there is no subjective\, objective\, or absolute spirit without history. This emphasis famously inspired Marx to describe the &ldquo\;science of history&rdquo\; as the &ldquo\;sole science.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>This conference aims to discuss central aspects of history and historicity in Hegel&rsquo\;s philosophy from a systematic perspective. Possible guiding questions include\, but are not limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is history\, and why does it matter philosophically?</li>\n<li>What is the difference between historicity and mere contingency?</li>\n<li>What is Hegel&rsquo\;s notion of &ldquo\;philosophical history\,&rdquo\; if it is neither historicism nor the projection of an external teleology onto historical facts?</li>\n<li>Does Hegel&rsquo\;s emphasis on historicity exclude any genuine possibility of predicting future developments\, thereby restricting philosophy to the role symbolized by the &ldquo\;owl of Minerva&rdquo\;?</li>\n<li>To what extent is the historical development of concepts relevant to the immanent conceptual development within Hegel&rsquo\;s <em>Philosophy of Nature</em>\, <em>Philosophy of Spirit</em>\, and&mdash\;most provocatively&mdash\;the <em>Science of Logic</em>?</li>\n<li>How does historicity apply to seemingly ahistorical notions inherited from the rationalist or Kantian tradition\, such as &ldquo\;truth\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;science\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;idea\,&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;reason&rdquo\;?</li>\n<li>Is Hegel&rsquo\;s emphasis on historicity a form of pragmatism <em>avant la lettre</em>?</li>\n<li>Do art\, religion\, philosophy (and their various historical forms)\, or even human life and social institutions (and their own various forms)\, possess a specific intrinsic value beyond what is historically ascribed to them?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We invite postdoctoral researchers working in the field to submit an abstract (maximum 500 words) addressing one or more of these topics.

DESCRIPTION:<p>*Please note that this event has officially been<em><strong> postponed</strong></em>. More information will be made available asap in the near future*</p>\n<p>Many human cognitive capacities and processes may be deployed creatively\, from unique choices made for oneself up through novel cultural shifts. Similarly\, large swaths of our daily lives are taken up with performing spontaneous\, on-the-fly\, and unplanned activities that are\, in a word\, improvised.&nbsp\; Charting out the nature of both creativity and improvisation\, taken individually or together\, remains an open and pressing issue. In this conference\, we will delve into various philosophical\, theoretical\, empirical\, and interdisciplinary issues that are related to creativity and improvisation. A non-exhaustive list of related questions and themes for this topic include:</p>\n<p>- What is the relationship between improvisation and creativity?</p>\n<p>- What is the relationship between creative activity and well-being?</p>\n<p>- What is the best way to model individual and collective creativity?</p>\n<p>- Is creativity in the arts the same thing as in other domains\, such as in science or business?</p>\n<p>- What are the pros and cons of different scientific operationalizations of creativity and improvisation?</p>\n<p>- Provide a conceptual analysis of creativity and/or improvisation.</p>
