DESCRIPTION:
After two g
overnment bailouts of the U.S. economy in less than twenty years\, free ma
rket ideology is due for serious reappraisal. In Free Market: the Hist
ory of an Idea\, Jacob Soll details how we got to this current crisis
\, and how we can find our way out by looking to earlier iterations of fre
e market thought. Contrary to popular narratives\, early market theorists
believed that states had an important role in building and maintaining fre
e markets. But in the eighteenth century\, thinkers insisted on free marke
ts without state intervention\, leading to a tradition of ideological brit
tleness. That tradition only calcified in the centuries that followed. Tra
cing the intellectual evolution of the free market from Cicero to Milton F
riedman\, Soll argues that we need to go back to the origins of free marke
t ideology in order to truly understand it—and to develop new economic con
cepts to face today’s challenges.
Joining Jacob Soll to discuss his book will be: <
strong>Pierre Force\, Professor of French and History at Columbia
\; John Shovlin\, Professor of History at NYU\; and Carl Wennerlind\, Professor of History at Barnard College. Emmanuelle Saada\, Professor of History and French at Columb
ia\, will moderate the discussion.
This event is co-spon
sored by the Maison Française and the Department of History.

DESCRIPTION:
How can we b
e sure the oppressed do not become oppressors in their turn? How can we en
visage a feminism that doesn’t turn into yet another tool for oppression?
By arguing that there is no single arche explaining the oppression of wome
n and LGBTQI+ people\, Chiara Bottici proposes a radical anarchafeminist p
hilosophy inspired by two major claims: that there is something specific t
o the oppression of ‘the second sexes’\, and that\, in order to fight that
\, we need to untangle all other forms of oppression and the anthropocentr
ism they inhabit. On the basis of a Spinozist philosophy of transindividua
lity\, Anarchafeminism calls for a decolonial and deimperial attitude and
for a renewed awareness of the somatic communism connecting all different
life forms on the planet. In this revolutionary vision\, feminism does not
mean the liberation of the lucky few\, but liberation of the planet from
both capitalist exploitation and an anthropocentric politics of domination
. Either the entire planet\, or none of us will be free.
Audience members must show proof of a full COVID-19
vaccination series (and booster if eligible)\, ID\, and remain masked at

DESCRIPTION:
Professor Williamson will give 3 lectures: September 19\, 21
\, and 23. All will take place in AB-2400 [East Wing] from 4:30-6:30pm.
\n
The lectures will discuss problems in the methodology of contemporar
y philosophy. Although philosophy without use of counterexamples would be
a disaster\, the way they are currently handled is naïve. In particular\,
it is too vulnerable to fake counterexamples generated by more or less uni
versal human heuristics.
\n
Lecture One: Heuristics [9/19]
\n
Human cognition\, from sense perception to abstract reflection\, frequentl
y employs heuristics\, quick\, easy\, efficient\, and imperfectly reliable
ways of solving problems. To a neglected extent\, philosophical problems
and paradoxes from reliance on the outputs of fallible heuristics. This wi
ll be illustrated with examples involving vagueness\, conditionals\, belie
f ascription\, truth and falsity\, and reasons aggregation. Potential less
ons for philosophical method will be discussed.
\n
Lecture Two: Over
fitting [9/21]
\n
Overfitting is a well-recognized methodological pr
oblem in natural science\, where use of models with too many degrees of fr
eedom leads to unstable theorizing and failure to detect errors in the dat
a. Overfitting is also a major but ill-recognized methodological problem i
n philosophy\, exacerbated by its reliance on heuristics. General intellec
tual tendencies conducive to overfitting in philosophy will be discussed.<
/p>\n
Lecture Three: Hyperintensionality [9/23]
\n
The ‘hyperinte
nsional revolution’ proclaims that central metaphysical distinctions canno
t be captured in modal terms since they are sensitive to differences betwe
en necessary equivalents. Such hyperintensionalism fits the profile of ove
rfitting. It is motivated by case judgments that are explicable as results
of a fallible heuristic and it leads to models with too many degrees of f
reedom.

DESCRIPTION:
We are excited to announce a public talk featuring Elie Duri
ng as part of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s 60th death anniversary
. On the face of it\, The Dialectic of Duration\, Gaston Bachelard’
s 1936 essay\, is a pungent—if often unfair—criticism of the Bergsonian do
ctrine of time and creative evolution. The constructive side of this Anti-
Bergson has received less attention: it implies a genuine poetics of time
based on the intuition of the sporadic and oscillatory nature of becoming.
Bachelard’s rhythmic theme is consistent with the idea of “surrationalism
” introduced that same year as a formal counterpart to the surrealist expe
riments carried out on the fringes of conscious experience. Inspired by th
e explosive potential of scientific revolutions already celebrated in L
e Nouvel Esprit Scientifique\, the surrationalist project can be inter
preted as that of a poetics of reason. André Breton believed it wou
ld “act simultaneously as a stimulant and restraining influence” (“Crisis
of the Object”). Insights from the scientific investigation of time as wel
l as poetic and musical experience will help us see how this double action
is in keeping with the eruptive dynamics of imagination and reason\, as m
uch as with Bachelard’s ideal of “self-surveillance”.
\n
Elie Duri
ng is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris
Ouest. His research focuses on the philosophical implications of relativit
y theory. His publications include an introduction to Poincaré’s philosoph
y of science (La Science et l’Hypothèse\, 2001)\, an essay on the n
ature of time (The Future does not Exist\, 2014)\, two critical edi
tions of Bergson\, a coedited volume on contemporary metaphysics of realis
m (Choses en soi\, 2018\, English translation forthcoming from Edin
burgh University Press)\, and most recently a critical edition of Bachelar
d’s Dialectique de la durée (2021).

DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that the first workshop of the se
mester will take place in person on Friday\, September 23rd
from *4-6pm* (please note the change in the usual time). Robert
Stern (University of Sheffield) will be giving a talk entitled\, “Foun
d or Sought? Hegel vs MacIntyre on the Good Life and the Virtues.” Please
note that the talk will take place at The New School\, Room M104 (The Bark
Room)\, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (The Sheila C. Johnson Design Cen
ter is on the southwest corner of 5th ave and 13th street)
\nTo atte
nd the talk in person you will need to be up-to-date with vaccinations and
boosters and set up a CLEAR Health Pass account in advance. Direct
ions for visitor access are below.
\nThe event has been organized by
the Wittgenstein Workshop.
\nAbstract: This paper dra
ws a contrast between Hegel and MacIntyre\, treating both as post-Kantian
perfectionists. The claim is that while Hegel treats the good life as some
thing found\, and to be implemented in the rational state\, MacIntyre trea
ts it as something to be sought. This difference\, it is argued\, is refle
cted in their respective accounts of the virtues: for Hegel\, the key virt
ue becomes rectitude\, whereas for MacIntyre a wider range of virtues is r
equired\, to make this quest for the good achievable. Using the characters
of Walt and Travis from Paris\, Texas to illustrate the argument\,
it is suggested that the MacIntyrean option is to be preferred.
\n
GUEST AND VISITOR ACCESS AND VACCINATION POLICY
\nGuests and visito

9 vaccination\, to issue guest passes. The CLEAR Health Pass replaces o
n-site manual vaccination checking and physical guest passes. CLEAR ac
counts should be set up in advance of arrival on campus and will remain ac
tive for a month\, requiring only a selfie to reactivate. Details and inst
ructions about creating and setting up a CLEAR account can be found on our
website.

DESCRIPTION:With responses from
Mark Siderits (Illinois State University)
\nABSTRACT: Budd
hist philosophers often draw a distinction between two different kinds of
truth: conventional truth (saṃvṭi-satya) and ultimate truth (paramārtha-sa
tya). Abhidharma Buddhists philosophers typically understand this distinct
ion in terms of an ontological distinction between two different kinds of
entities: ultimately real entities (paramārtha-sat) and conventionally rea
l entities (saṃvṛti-sat). Similar to contemporary philosophical discussion
s about ordinary objects\, Buddhist philosophers debate the ontological st
atus of conventional entities and the semantics of discourse concerning th
em. Mark Siderits (2015\, 2021\, 2022) has influentially argued for an eli
minitivist position he calls “Buddhist reductionism” that interprets the A
bhidharma position as one that denies conventional entities exist but that
retains discourse involving apparent reference to them. However\, in a re
cent article Kris McDaniel (2019)\, a prominent defender of ontological pl
uralism\, challenges that view by proposing that the Abhidharma Buddhist d
istinction between conventional truth and ultimate truth be “defined up” f
rom a more basic distinction between two different ways an entity can exis
t: conventionally or ultimately. In this paper I argue that Saṃghabhadra’s
account of conventional reality and truth does lends itself well to McDan
iel’s proposal but I will also argue that the account of conventional and
ultimate truth that results differs in important ways from the models he o
ffers. I will end by offering a modification of McDaniel’s account of conv
entional truth that is derived from Saṃghabhadra’s pluralist ontology. Tha
t view will\, unlike the views suggested by both Siderits and McDaniel\, a
llow for there to be ultimate truths about what is conventionally true.

DESCRIPTION:The NYU Mind\, Ethics\, and P
olicy Program is thrilled to be hosting a talk by David Chalmers on whethe
r large language models can be sentient.
\nAbout the talk
\nArtificial intelligence systems—especially large language mo
dels\, giant neural networks trained to predict text from the internet—hav
e recently shown remarkable abilities. There has been widespread discussio
n of whether some of these language models might be sentient. Should we ta
ke this idea seriously? David Chalmers will discuss the underlying issue a
nd try to break down the strongest reasons for and against.
\nThe talk\, which is free and open to the public\,
will take place on October 13 2022 from 5:00-6:30pm ET. The in-person loc
ation will be Jurow Lecture Hall (inside the Silver Center at 32 Waverly P
lace)\, and the virtual location will be Zoom (you can sign up to receive
a link by clicking “Register here” below). There will also be a light rece
ption from 6:30-7:30pm in the Silverstein Lounge (immediately outside of t
he Jurow Lecture Hall).
\n– If you pl
an to attend in person\, please be prepared to show proof of full vaccinat
ion.
\n– If you plan to attend virtually\, please check your email fo
r a link in advance of the event.
\nAbout the speaker
\nDavid Chalmers is University Professor of Philosophy and Neural
Science and co-director of the Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness
at NYU. He is the author of The Conscious Mind (1996)\, Constructing the
World (2010)\, and Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
(2022). He co-founded the Association for the Scientific Study of Conscio
usness and the PhilPapers Foundation. He is known for formulating the “har
d problem” of consciousness\, which inspired Tom Stoppard’s play The Hard
Problem\, and for the idea of the “extended mind\,” which says that the to
ols we use can become parts of our minds.

DESCRIPTION:With responses from
Timothy Connolly (East Stroudsburg University)
\nABSTRACT: Recent philosophical discussions on compassion focus on the value and the
nature of compassion as an emotion. Ancient Asian philosophical tradition
s such as Confucianism and Buddhism\, however\, emphasize compassion as a
character trait that should be nurtured. This paper examines the insights
drawn from these traditions to help inform the nurturing of compassion. Fo
r example\, is empathy a necessary tool? What is the role of love and car
e? Does self-reflection contribute to the process?

Abstract:
\n
As a specific form of rig
hts insecurity the revocability of reproductive rights manifests contradic
tory understandings (privative and productive) of the political status of
pregnancy.
\n
I ask how and why we should understand reproductive rig
hts as revocable\, giving a broad meaning to the term “revocability\,” and
suggesting a conjoined vocabulary that includes conditionality\, exceptio
nality\, and disqualifying qualification.
\n
I ask: what kind of gram
mar might help us understand more specifically how the concurrent action o
f conflicting combinations of power (such as sovereignty\, discipline\, se
curity\, necropower\, and neoliberal expectation) coordinate together in r
elation to reproductive rights-bearing\, and how heterogeneous combination
s of power also produce a mutual disruptiveness\, even auto-critique\, man
ifesting as conflictual embodiment.

ress of artificial intelligence to create artworks. Unlike old-fashioned g
enerative art\, AI-generated art is not produced with an explicit set of p
rogramming instructions provided by human artists\; instead\, it involves
training an algorithm on a dataset so that it can later produce artworks (
images\, music\, or video clips) using its own internal parameters that ha
ve not been explicitly defined by a human. This process raises fascinating
questions at the intersection of computer science\, art history\, and the
philosophy of art. At a superficial level of analysis\, AI-generated art
seems to offload much of the creative impetus of art production to the mac
hine\, requiring minimal intervention from the artist. On closer inspectio
n\, however\, it involves a novel process of curation at two key stages: u
pstream in the selection of the dataset on which the algorithm is trained\
, and downstream in the selection of the outputs that should qualify as ar
tworks. Instead of replacing human artists with computers\, AI-generated a
rt can be understood as a new kind of collaboration between mind and machi
ne\, both of which contribute to the aesthetic value of the final artwork.
\n
This seminar will bring together AI artists and philosophers to e
xplore the significance of this new mode of art production. It will discus
s the implications of AI-generated art for the definition of art\, the nat
ure of the relationship between artists and tools\, the process of digital
curation\, and whether AI systems can be as creative as humans.

DESCRIPTION:
Making Space for Justice: Social Movements\, Collective Imagination\,
and Political Hope
\nby Michele M Moody-Adams
\n
From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today\, pr
ogressive social movements have been at the forefront of social change. Ye
t it is seldom recognized that such movements have not only engaged in pol
itical action but also posed crucial philosophical questions about the mea
ning of justice and about how the demands of justice can be met.
\n
M
ichele Moody-Adams argues that anyone who is concerned with the theory or
the practice of justice—or both—must ask what can be learned from social m
ovements. Drawing on a range of compelling examples\, she explores what th
ey have shown about the nature of justice as well as what it takes to crea
te space for justice in the world. Moody-Adams considers progressive socia
l movements as wellsprings of moral inquiry and as agents of social change
\, drawing out key philosophical and practical principles. Social justice
demands humane regard for others\, combining compassionate concern and rob
ust respect. Successful movements have drawn on the transformative power o
f imagination\, strengthening the motivation to pursue justice and to crea
te the political institutions and social policies that can sustain it by i
nspiring political hope.
\n
Making Space for Justice contend
s that the insights arising from social movements are critical to bridging
the gap between discerning theory and effective practice—and should be tr
ansformative for political thought as well as for political activism.

DESCRIPTION:
Even on a close reading of Hobbes’s corpus\, it is difficult
to extract a clear picture of his views on gender.
\n
In the history
of philosophy\, most of the ‘great’ philosophers engaged with questions a
bout women’s ‘nature’ and the appropriate role for women in the family\, s
ociety\, and state.
\n
Hobbes\, however\, seems to have far less to s
ay on the subject than most\, and what he does say is often ambiguous or p
aradoxical.
\n
It is a fundamental tenet of Hobbes’s political theory
that all people are equal in the state of nature\, women included\; yet h
e makes reference to the general superiority of men as regards physical st
rength\, courage\, wit\, and suitability for rule.
\n
Hobbes denies t
he naturalness\, inevitability\, and godliness of patriarchy\, and he even
argues for natural maternal right\; however\, he describes families in ci
vil societies in terms of fathers ruling over their servants and children—
leaving women out of the picture altogether.
\n
His texts are p
eppered with various offhand comments\, allusions\, and intimations about
women and sexuality more generally\, many of which are provocative and und
eveloped.
\n
One of the most intriguing parts of his an
alysis is his repeated appeal to the example of the ancient Amazonian warr
ior women who engaged in procreative contracts with men from neighboring t
ribes.
\n
\n
In this paper\, the speaker uses Ho
bbes’s discussion of the Amazons to examine his views about gender and\, t
hereby\, his place in the history of philosophy as seen from a feminist pe
rspective.

DESCRIPTION:
This presentation will examine what it is like to h
ave trauma end life as you know it and then be processed through a fragmen
ted health-care system that focuses on acute care. It will examine the reh
abilitation journey and\, finally\, the world of disability. One cannot go
on this journey without recognizing the role that our societal values pla
y in marginalizing persons with disabilities. This journey is\, at its cor
e\, a fight over who counts as a “productive” person\, what values determi
ne the allocation of resources\, and how cultural attitudes toward vulnera
bility affect both the caregiver and those who are cared for. Two models o
f personhood are presented and the consequences of each are explored. How
we treat the most vulnerable among us highlights who we are as a society.<

Book panel: Anat Matar\, The Pover
ty of Ethics (Verso books 2022)

Abstract:
\n
It is a common
assumption that ethics must serve as the cornerstone of politics. Yet abs
tract moral arguments have always been used for justifying all kinds of at
rocities\; ethical sensitivity and compassion have been expressed towards
particular kinds of victims\, while totally ignoring others.
\n
The l
iberal West\, in particular\, continually manifests such blindness. It is
horrified by non-Western oppressive methods\, but turns a blind eye to the
ir Western equivalents.
\n
The gratification of holding the moral hig
h ground consistently serves as a political instrument in the hands of tho
se seeking to shore up the existing order.
\n
In The Poverty of Ethic
s\, philosopher and activist Anat Matar argues for the conceptual primacy
of political discourse over ethics and claims that only the political forc
e which stands for equality\, justice and democracy – the Left – can provi
de the coordinates for an ethical life under conditions of global injustic
e.
\n
Appealing to philosophical ideas on the essence of language\, M
atar shows how the ethos of the Left\, as it has evolved over years\, unde
rlies and gradually forms the basis for ethics.
\n
Struggles against
slavery\, racism\, colonization and militarization\, protests against expl
oitation and the capitalist order\, the feminist movement\, global demands
for climate action – all these are primarily motivated by a deep understa
nding of Left heritage rather than by abstract ethical requirements or by
airy sensitivities. They\, in turn\, shape and reshape our notion of moral
it

DESCRIPTION:
What makes right acts right? A Stoic answer to R
oss’s question.
\n
When W.D. Ross poses the question\,
“what makes right acts right?” (The Right and the Good ch. 2)\, he is aski
ng a question that is prior to the deliberative question\, “how do I deter
mine the right thing to do?” The Stoics recognize this: in De Officiis 1.7
\, Cicero says that every inquiry about duty has two parts: (1) a theoreti
cal part concerned with the end of goods and evils\, which addresses such
matters as whether all duties are perfect\, whether some are more importan
t than others\, and what are the kinds of duties\, and (2) a practical par
t which sets out rules (praecepta) by which our conduct can be made to con
form with the end. This paper focuses on (1) and in particular asks Ross’
s question about Stoic right actions (kathêkonta).
\n
\n
The
endpoint of Stoic deliberation is determining what token action is the rig
ht action. The paper begins with the Stoic distinction between a thing’s
choiceworthiness\, its intrinsic disposition to elicit a choice response i
n a suitable subject\, and its possession being to-be-chosen. The determin
ation of what is to-be-done is made by weighing against each other all the
values of the relevant action types specified by their content (the so-ca
lled ‘intermediate actions’) that are in accordance with nature\, as Stoic
value theory says that according with nature is an objective reason to do
an action. What constitutes the rightness of the token right action\, an
d is given in its reasonable defense\, is the same as what constitutes the
rightness of a perfect (katorthôma) action. The Stoic distinction betw
een right and perfect action depends on the action’s moral goodness—not ri
ghtness—which is due to its causal origin.

DESCRIPTION:
Seen from a distance\, competing views of laws of nature att
end to different aspects of their target concept. The Best System Analysis
(‘BSA’) focuses on the role of laws in systematizing our thoughts about p
articular facts\, while non-Humean (‘realist’) views focus on whatever it
is – N-relations among universals\, powers – that pushes the universe from
one state to another. Nothing stops us from combining these views: with t
he BSA\, we can restrict the laws of science to summarizing particulars\,
while at the same time\, with our preferred realism\, positing a ‘driver’
that makes those particulars as they are.
\nSo far\, there have been
only a few attempts to hybridize the BSA with some form of realism\, and t
hen only with the powers view. I argue that there is a deep assumption wov
en into the fabric of realism from Descartes’s time on: that the laws of a
science report on facts\, which in turn either are or involve the realist
’s chosen driver. I argue that the best-known attempt to hybridize the BSA
with a power’s view – Heather Demarest’s potency-BSA – still makes this C
artesian assumption\, and faces significant objections as a result. The le
sson is that anyone attempting to create hybrids should abandon that assum
ption entirely. After formulating what I take to be a more defensible powe
rs-BSA hybrid\, I go on to show how one might cross-breed the BSA with pri
mitivism and with the universals view. By abandoning the Cartesian assumpt
ion\, we can create hybrids that are considerably more defensible than the
ir realist parents.

DESCRIPTION:
Please join us for a talk by Eric-John Russell (Unive
rsität Potsdam)\, who will present chapters from his recently published bo
ok\, Why Everything is as it Seems: Hegel and Debord. Jacob McNu
lty (University College London) will provide a response followed by a
Q&A with our audience.
\n
Guy Debord has been called many things: pse
udo-philosopher\, nihilist\, filmmaker\, megalomaniac\, strategist\, third
-rate Mephistopheles. His book The Society of the Spectacle (1967)
has fallen into a similarly motley reception\, frequently enveloped within
the discourses of postmodernism\, media and cultural studies\, and avant-
garde art history. My research however\, dispenses with such narratives an
d instead offers a sustained examination of the concept of the society of
the spectacle through the two pillars upon which Debord understood his own
work as a critical theory of society: Marx’s critique of political econom
y and Hegel’s speculative philosophy. It is the latter that will be the fo
cus of my paper\, first by offering some introductory remarks on Debord’s
theory of the spectacle but then arguing that it precisely the specula
tive dimension of Hegel’s dialectic that remains central for Debord’s
diagnosis of twentieth century capitalism\, with emphasis placed on the im
portance of Hegel’s Wesenslogik. I will conclude with the historica
l significance of Debord’s “heretical Hegelianism\,” specifically as an in
tervention within the atmosphere of the French Hegelianism of the interwar
and postwar period.

DESCRIPTION:
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to automate and scale
solutions to perennial accessibility challenges (e.g.\, generating image d
escriptions for blind users). However\, research shows that AI-bias dispro
portionately impacts people already marginalized based on their race\, gen
der\, or disabilities\, raising questions about potential impacts in addit
ion to AI’s promise. In this talk\, Cynthia Bennett will overview broad co
ncerns at the intersection of AI\, disability\, and accessibility. She wil
l then share details about one project in this research space that led to
guidance on human and AI-generated image descriptions that account for sub
jective and potentially sensitive descriptors around race\, gender\, and d
isability of people in images.

DESCRIPTION:
In better times\, this talk may have been given as a detaile
d account of the practices and side stories that had been part of the just
published anthology titled Tolstoy as Philosopher (2022)\, a res
ult of a quarter-century work on Tolstoy’s manuscripts and research at int
ernational archives. The finished book can be abstracted as follows.
\n
Beginning with Tolstoy’s first extant records of his written œuvre\, th
e anthology assembles seventy-seven unabridged texts that cover more than
seven decades of his life\, from 1835 to 1910. It constitutes the most co
mplete single-volume edition to date of the rich variety of Tolstoy’s phil
osophical output: apothegmatic sayings\, visions\, intimate sketchbook and
day notes\, book reviews\, open letters\, dialogues\, pedagogic talks\, p
ublic lectures\, programs and rules for personal behavior\, fictions\, and
reminiscences.
\n
\n
It was the insolvable\, the “scandalous\
,” problems of philosophy that never gave Tolstoy any rest: freedom of the
will\, religious tolerance\, gender inequality\, the tonal shape of music
\, the value of healthy life habits\, the responsibilities of teaching\, f
orms of social protest\, cognitive development\, science in society\, the
relation between body and mind\, charity and labor\, human dignity and pub
lic service\, sexual psychology\, national war doctrines\, suicide\, indiv
idual sacrifice\, the purposes of making art. And always: What are the so
urces of violence? Why should we engage in politics? Why do we need govern
ments? How can one practice non-violence? What is the meaning of our irrep
ressible desire to seek and find meaning? Why can’t we live without loving
? The typeset proofs of his final insights were brought to Tolstoy for app
roval when he was already on his deathbed. No matter their brevity or the
occasion on which they were written\, these works exemplify Tolstoy as an
artistically inventive and intellectually absorbing thinker.
\n
\n
Most of the newly translated and thoroughly annotated texts have neve
r been available in English. Among the notable archival restorations is t
he text titled “Tolstoy on Venezuela\,” an authentic first publication in
English of “Patriotism\, or Peace?” (1896) that had been personal
ly checked by Tolstoy and deemed lost. In the inaugural piece\, a seven-ye
ar-old Tolstoy describes violent but natural animal life in contrast with
the lazy life of a peaceful barnyard in the countryside. The last entry in
the anthology written by an eighty-year-old Tolstoy for his grandchildren
provides a lesson on vegetarianism and non-violence that a hungry wolf te
aches a hungry boy during their conversation when both are on their way to
lunch.
\n
\n
The anthology was being copyedited when
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24\, 2022. After having provided the n
ecessary grounding for Tolstoy’s place within the Russian philosophical tr
adition and explaining his overall reception and standing\, the speaker wi
ll comment on the implications of this unfolding historic tragedy for the
current moment and the future\, in order to then open the floor for genera
l discussion.

A Feminist Mythology\, Bloomsbury\, 2022
em>
\n
A book panel with Christen Clifford (The New
School)\, Jean-Michel Rabate’ (University of Pennsylvania
)\, Rose Rejouis (The New School) and a response by Chiara Bottici.
\n
A Feminist Mythology takes us
on a poetic journey through the canonical myths of femininity\, testing t
hem from the point of view of our modern condition. A myth is not an objec
t\, but rather a process\, one that Chiara Bottici practises by exploring
different variants of the myth of “womanhood” through first- and third-per
son prose and poetry. We follow a series of myths that morph into each oth
er\, disclosing ways of being woman that question inherited patriarchal or
ders. In this metamorphic world\, story-telling is not just a mix of narra
tive\, philosophical dialogues and metaphysical theorizing: it is a curren
t that traverses all of them by overflowing the boundaries it encounters.
In doing so\, A Feminist Mythology proposes an alternative writin
g style that recovers ancient philosophical and literary traditions from t
he pre-Socratic philosophers and Ovid’s Metamorphoses to the philosophical
novellas and feminist experimental writings of the last century.

DESCRIPTION:
\n
Our speaker on Monday\, February 13t
h will be Bianca Cepollaro\, who is a Research Fellow at the
Faculty of Philosophy in University Vita-Salute San Raffaele. Bianca will
give a talk called ‘(Not Necessarily Credible) Deniability’:
\n
Dinges and Zakkou’s 2022 analyze deniability as an epistemic notion
. For them\, a speaker has deniability with respect to the proposition tha
t they meant something just in case their audience does not know what they
meant\, possibly thanks to their denial. In this paper\, we illustrate tw
o kinds of cases that challenge their account\, in order to argue that den
iability cannot be so understood. The first kind of scenario shows how the
ir epistemic understanding of deniability does not provide sufficient cond
itions for deniability\; the second one suggests that their conditions are
not necessary either. Our goal here is entirely negative: we aim to do a
ground-clearing job\, providing reasons why deniability cannot be understo
od in certain ways\, and leave the articulation of an alternative proposal
for future work.
\nWe’re a community of philosophers o
f language centered in New York City. We have a meeting each week at which
a speaker presents a piece of their own work relating to the philosophy o
f language.
\nDuring Spring 2023\, we will meet on Mondays\, 6-8pm i
n room 202 of the NYU Philosophy Building\, at 5 Washington Place. Anyone
with an interest in philosophy of language is welcome.

ins-the-success-of-medieval-french-song
DESCRIPTION:
Poets and singers in a number of medieval vernacul
ar languages reached non-native audiences and inspired speakers of other l
anguages to compose in theirs\; and many imagined their compositions enjoy
ing a universality similar to that of cosmopolitan languages like Latin an
d Arabic. An interesting rationalization of these aspirations can be disce
rned in a short verse narrative of a well-known episode in the youth of Al
exander the Great\, conqueror of India\, together with his tutor\, the phi
losopher Aristotle. Not only does it involve Greeks and Indians singing Fr
ench songs and cosplaying French lovers\, but the philosopher is induced t
o pretend to be a horse and then justifies his behavior as “natural\,” wit
h far-reaching implications which this talk will explore.

DESCRIPTION:

This talk explores the reflexive nature of
consciousness\, which consists primarily in the fact that a state of consc
iousness has a reflexive relation to the subject who has that state\, so t
hat the subject can typically be aware of itself as having that state. Com
paring Kant’s\, Fichte’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of
this reflexivity shows that there is a crucial difference in the way the r
elation between form (or mode) and content of a state of consciousness is
conceived. The first part examines Kant’s formal theory of consciousness:
reflexivity is understood not in terms of a self-referential content resul
ting from a reflection on the state of the subject\, but as the universal
transcendental form that any content must have in order to be representati
onally significant and potentially conscious to the subject. The second pa
rt examines Fichte’s departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing
consciousness: in the original act of self-positing\, the mere form of ref
lexivity is turned into a self-referential content that determines the sub
ject as an object from the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third
part examines analytic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is
often called the subjective character) of consciousness on a model of ment
al indexicality. These theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective
constituent of content that\, although often implicit\, can be read off f
rom the subject’s contextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’
s theory can be understood as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspect
ivism that navigates between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturali
st absolute objectivity.

Book discussion on Gwenda-lin Grewal’s\, Thinking A

\n
Thinking of Death places Plato’s Euthydemus among the dialo
gues that surround the trial and death of Socrates. A premonition of philo
sophy’s fate arrives in the form of Socrates’ encounter with the two-heade
d sophist pair\, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus\, who appear as if they are t
he ghost of the Socrates of Aristophanes’ Thinkery. The pair vacillate bet
ween choral ode and rhapsody\, as Plato vacillates between referring to th
em in the dual and plural number in Greek. Gwenda-lin Grewal’s close readi
ng explores how the structure of the dialogue and the pair’s back-and-fort
h arguments bear a striking resemblance to thinking itself: in its immersi
ve remove from reality\, thinking simulates death even as it cannot concei
ve of its possibility. Euthydemus and Dionysodorus take this to an extreme
\, and so emerge as the philosophical dream and sophistic nightmare of bei
ng disembodied from substance. The Euthydemus is haunted by philosophy’s t
enuous relationship to political life. This is played out in the narration
through Crito’s implied criticism of Socrates-the phantom image of the At
henian laws-and in the drama itself\, which appears to take place in Hades
. Thinking of death thus brings with it a lurid parody of the death of thi
nking: the farce of perfect philosophy that bears the gravity of the city’
s sophistry. Grewal also provides a new translation of the Euthydemus that
pays careful attention to grammatical ambiguities\, nuances\, and wit in
ways that substantially expand the reader’s access to the dialogue’s myste
ries.

DESCRIPTION:
Neopragmatists seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shif
ting the target of philosophical explanation from the objects we think and
talk about to the functions of expressions and concepts in our cognitive
economy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquir
y\, and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other voc
abulary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a ne
opragmatist perspective toward logical relations\, such as logical consequ
ence\, and toward propositional content. Doing so calls into question two
purported constraints on explanations of the functions of logical connecti
ves. I will sketch an account made possible by rejecting those constraints
\, one according to which logical connectives serve to express dialectical
attitudes. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an exten
sion of deflationism from truth to logical relations\, and it aims to defl
ate some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.

DESCRIPTION:
The COVID-19 pandemic is said to be
a once-in-a-century incident\, and it brought to us a sense of crisis at v
arious levels. What is a crisis\, though? Can any unnerving moment or peri
od be called a crisis\, or are there different dimensions of a crisis to w
hich we need to be attentive? Is solidarity possible after experiencing a
crisis like Covid-19? Can Buddhism make any contribution to facilitating s
olidarity? This presentation explores the meaning and nature of a crisis a
nd our responses to it by drawing on modern Korean political thinker Pak C
h’iu’s (1909–1949) analysis of crisis and feminist-Buddhist thinker Kim Ir
yŏp’s (1896–1971) Buddhist philosophy. By doing so\, this presentation con
siders what social\, political\, existential\, and even religious meaning
we can draw from our experience of crises\, and what questions these insig
hts present to us.

DESCRIPTION:
In 1931\, Max Horkheimer proposed a model of interdisciplina
ry research that remains a benchmark for understanding how cultures functi
on and might function better. He imagined an institute “in which philosoph
ers\, sociologists\, economists\, historians\, and psychologists are broug
ht together in permanent collaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institu
te would not work with a single theory but would let data lead to new hypo
theses (Horkheimer 1993\, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues r
arely lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically gr
ounded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Ho
rkheimer’s and Adorno’s history of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialecti
c of Enlightenment\, with current research on the development of early hum
an cultures by Richard Wrangham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Jos
eph Henrich and Cecilia Heyes. The comparison with recent research in anth
ropology\, sociology\, philosophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of
the deep conceptual commitments that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus
on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current app
roaches jointly suggest that human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded
\; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; t
hat learning occurs in context through imitation\; and that customs and in
stitutions develop contingently and by accident through processes of coope
ration and collaboration. These new insights invite a radical re-thinking
of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The
resulting picture of environmentally embedded process of cultural evolutio
n is a first step towards revitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of
the early Frankfurt School\, and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\,
and sustainable routes such critique can take in the 21st century.

DESCRIPTION:
Saul Kripke announced his possible world semantics in 1959\,
and published his proof of axiomatic completeness for the standard modal
logics of the time in 1963. It is very unlike the standard completeness p
roof used today\, which involves a Lindenbaum/Henkin construction and prod
uces canonical models. Kripke’s proof involved tableaus\, in a format tha
t is difficult to follow\, and uses tableau construction algorithms that a
re complex and somewhat error prone to describe. I will first discuss Krip
ke’s proof\, then the historical origins of the modern version. Then I wi
ll show that completeness\, proved Kripke style\, could actually have been
done in the Lindenbaum/Henkin way\, thus simplifying things considerably.
None of this is new but\, with the parts collected together it is an int
eresting story. “In my end is my beginning”.

est understood as formed through large scale historical events\, and that
this genesis can only be obscured by disavowals of racial categories as co
nceptually mistaken and inevitably morally pernicious. In this sense\, ra
ces are formed not simply as ideas\, or ideologies and policies\, as many
social constructivists about race argue\, but as forms of life with associ
ated patterns of subjectivity including\, as a wealth of social psychology
has shown\, presumptive attitudes and behavioral dispositions (Jeffers 20
19\; Steele 2010\; Sullivan 2005). Because they are historical form
ations\, racial identities are thoroughly social\, contextual\, variegated
internally\, and dynamic. It is history that will alter them\, not merely
policy changes.

DESCRIPTION:
Well-being\, also known as prudential value\, refers to what
ever makes a life non-instrumentally good for the person living it. Well-b
eing is the object of immense practical\, philosophical\, and scientific c
oncern. Assessments of well-being help to guide our decisions in everyday
life\, from relationships\, to health decisions\, to education and career
choices. Well-being is increasingly the object of governmental and institu
tional policy\, and even policies that are not aimed directly at promoting
it can be evaluated in terms of their impacts on well-being. Colleges and
universities routinely offer programs designed to help students maintain
their well-being in the face of academic and personal stress. However\, de
bates over the nature of well-being have raged since the beginning of phil
osophical inquiry\, leaving us in a bad position when it comes to making h
eadway on addressing those practical and scientific concerns. The goal of
this talk is to show how the application of naturalistic methodology can h
elp us to resolve the philosophical stalemate and thus to make progress in
our practical and scientific projects relating to well-being.

DESCRIPTION:Conceptual misalignment is a pervasive phenomenon in the stu
dies of Non-Western philosophy and the History of Philosophy (NW&HP). Howe
ver\, conceptual misalignment is often undetected\, unsuspected\, or seen
as a hurdle that NW&HP materials need to overcome to contribute to contemp
orary discussions. Specifically\, conceptual misalignment refers to the fo
llowing: In the process of crystalizing NW&HP materials\, a linguistic coo
rdination of concepts is formed between the speaker\, i.e.\, NW&HP\, and i
ts context of contemporary anglophone philosophy. However\, in philosophic
ally meaningful ways\, the original NW&HP concept and its anglophone count
erpart misalign. This misalignment is particularly intricate and hard to d
etect when it comes to emotion concepts\, as they are thought to involve p
henomenal and/or intentional features. Through investigating the concept o
f emotion in Chinese philosophy\, I propose a refocusing on conceptual mis
alignment as a method of cross-cultural comparative and history of philoso
phy. Moreover\, I argue that conceptual misalignment is an important resou
rce for contemporary conceptual engineering and amelioration projects.

DESCRIPTION:The sender-receiver model was developed by David Lewis to ta
ckle the question of the conventionality of meaning. But many people who c
ared about the conventionality of meaning did so because they thought it w
as intimately connected to the conventionality of logic. Since Lewis’s wor
k\, only a few attempts have been made to say anything about the nature of
logic and inference from the perspective of the sender-receiver model. Th
is talk will look at the what’s been said in that regard\, by Skyrms and o
thers\, and suggest a few general lessons.

DESCRIPTION:The representational theory of measurement provides a collec
tion of results that specify the conditions under which an attribute admit
s of numerical representation. The original architects of the theory inter
preted the formalism operationally and explicitly acknowledged that some a
spects of their representations are conventional. There have been a number
of recent efforts to reinterpret the formalism to arrive at a more metaph
ysically robust account of physical quantities. In this paper we argue tha
t the conventional elements of the representations afforded by the represe
ntational theory of measurement require careful scrutiny as one moves towa
rd such an interpretation. To illustrate why\, we show that there is a sen
se in which the very number system in which one represents a physical quan
tity such as mass or length is conventional. We argue that this result doe
s not undermine the project of reinterpreting the representational theory
of measurement for metaphysical purposes in general\, but it does undermin
e a certain class of inferences about the nature of physical quantities th
at some have been tempted to draw.

DESCRIPTION:The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about o
ur place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another\, how we v
itally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air\, share the surfaces of
the earth\, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to l
ive in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives.
How do we think from\, and about\, this common bind?
\nIn What World Is This? A Pandemic
Phenomenology\, Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and al
l its consequences—political\, social\, ecological\, economic—have challen
ged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring abou
t. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler\, Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, and critic
al feminist phenomenology\, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we
seek to make sense of our disorientation\, precarity\, and social bonds. <
em>What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in whi
ch touching and breathing\, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can thre
aten life itself\, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Crit
icizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of ra
cism\, sexism\, and classism\, this book suggests that the pandemic illumi
nates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of
pervasive inequalities.
\nExposing and opposing forms of injustice t
hat deny the essential interrelationship of living creatures\, Butler argu
es for a radical social equality and advocates modes of resistance that se
ek to establish new conditions of livability and a new sense of a shared w
orld.
\nSpeaker
\nJudith Butler is a Distinguished Professor in th
e Graduate School at the University of California\, Berkeley. They are the
author of several books\, most recently The Force of Nonviolence: An
Ethico-Political Bind (2020). Butler’s previous Columbia University P

m (2012)\, Antigone’s Claim: Kinship Between Life and Death
(2000)\, and Subjects of Desire: Hegelian Reflections in Twentieth-Cen

DESCRIPTION: In Sanskrit epistemology\, philosoph
ers are preoccupied with the notion of pramā. A pramā\, roughly\, is a men
tal event of learning or knowledge-acquisition. Call any such mental event
a knowledge-event. In A Confection of Refutation (Khaṇḍanakhaṇḍakhādya)\,
the 12th century philosopher and poet Śrīharṣa argued that knowledge-even
ts are indefinable. Any satisfactory (and therefore non-circular) definiti
on of knowledge-events will have to include an anti-luck condition that do
esn’t appeal back to the notion of learning or knowledge-acquisition itsel
f. But there is no such anti-luck condition. What is novel about Śrīharṣa’
s argument is that it is motivated by his commitment to a certain “knowled
ge first” approach to epistemology: the view that knowledge-events are epi
stemically prior to other non-factive mental states and events. On this vi
ew\, when we are trying to determine whether an agent has undergone a know
ledge-event\, we don’t initially ascribe to them some other non-factive me
ntal event\, and then check if that event meets some further conditions (l
ike truth or reliability) necessary for it to count as a knowledge-event\;
rather\, we treat certain mental events by default as knowledge-events un
til a defeater comes along. Surprisingly\, Śrīharṣa argues that this kind of “knowledge first” epi
stemology should give us reason to doubt whether our ordinary attributions
of knowledge-events are reliably tracking any sui generis psychological k
ind. In this talk\, I reconstruct Śrīharṣa’s position.

DESCRIPTION:What we call first-order logic over fixed domain was initiat
ed\, in a certain guise\, by Peirce around 1885 and championed\, albeit in
idiosyncratic form\, by Zermelo in papers from the 1930s. We characteriz
e such logics model- and proof-theoretically and argue that they constitut
e exploration of a clearly circumscribed conception of domain-dependent ge
nerality. Whereas a logic\, or family of such\, can be of interest for an
y of a variety of reasons\, we suggest that one of those reasons might be
that said logic fosters some clarification regarding just what qualifies a
s a logical concept\, a logical operation\, or a logical law.

DESCRIPTION:In France\, during the decades that followed World War II
and the Shoah\, an impressive attempt was made to rebuild Jewish life and
thought\, and to invent new ways of being Jewish in the post-Holocaust sec
ular world. Known as the Paris School of Jewish Thought\, this collective
enterprise gathered an incredible variety of Jewish scholars\, rabbis\, ph
ilosophers\, scientists\, and writers\, both religious and secular\, from
a wide range of backgrounds. This talk sheds light on the major role playe
d by these thinkers who addressed political\, philosophical\, and spiritua
l challenges that remain relevant today.
\n\n
Sophie Nordmann teaches Philosophy\, Ethics\, and Jewish Thought
in the Department of Religious Studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Ét
udes in Paris (PSL University). A specialist of modern and contemporary Je
wish thought\, her early work focused on Judeo-German Philosophy in 20th c
entury Europe (H. Cohen\, F. Rosenzweig\, M. Buber) and its extension in t
he United States and Israel. Among her current projects\, Dr. Nordmann st
udies how post WWII France became a laboratory for Jewish thinkers who und
ertook to rethink the modern Jewish condition after the Shoah.
\n\nThis talk is co-presented by the Columbia Maison Française a
nd the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies\, and sponsored by the Knap

DESCRIPTION:Western metaphysics is based on the opposition between reali
ty and appearance. This construction essentially rests on a visual model\,
or more exactly on some staging of what visual experience is.
\nI am
going to question the basis of this metaphysics\, by taking into account
the reality of appearances and reflecting on their various uses\, in parti
cular artistic ones. This path will be taken in the first place by shiftin
g the focus of philosophical analysis from visual to acoustic models. Thus
\, I will envisage a realism of echoes\, as opposed to the metaphysics of
shadows.
\nBiography:
\nJocelyn Beno
ist\, born in 1968\, is Professor at the university Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbo
nne\, where he teaches Contemporary Philosophy\, and currently a member of
the ‘Institut Universitaire de France’. He has dedicated his early work t
o phenomenology and the bridges between phenomenology and early Analytic p
hilosophy. For some time he was the Director of the Husserl Archive of Par

DESCRIPTION:
When someone is in a conscious state\, must they be aware of
that state? The Buddhist philosopher Dignāga offers a brilliant route to
answering this question by leveraging the role awareness might play as a
constraint on memory. I begin by clarifying his strategy and what conclus
ions it might be used to establish. Here I examine different candidate di
rections of explanation between consciousness and inner awareness. I inte
rpret the metaphor of consciousness as a lamp that lights itself\, and use
the metaphor to distinguish between his view and contemporary higher-orde
r theories of consciousness. I then turn to explain why the memory argume
nt fails. The first main problem is that\, contrary to Dignāga’s contempo
rary defenders\, there is no good way to use the argument to reach a concl
usion about all conscious states. The second main problem is that the pro
posed awareness constraint on memory is highly problematic\, in tension bo
th with ancient objections as well as current psychology.

The Colloquium in Legal\, Poli
tical\, and Social Philosophy was founded by Ronald Dworkin and Thomas Nag
el in 1987. It is the original model for all of NYU Law’s colloquia. The C
olloquium is now convened by Liam Murphy\, Samuel Scheffler\, and Jeremy W
aldron\, two of whom will host in any given year.
\n
Each week on Thu
rsday a legal theorist or moral or political philosopher presents a paper
to the group\, which consists of students\, faculty from the Law School an
d other departments of NYU\, and faculty from other universities. The choi
ce of subject is left to the paper’s author\, within the general boundarie
s of the Colloquium’s subjects\, and the discussions are therefore not con
nected by any structured theme for the term as a whole\, though in past ye
ars certain central topics were canvassed in several weeks’ discussion. Th
e Colloquium aims\, not to pursue any particular subject\, but to explore
new work in considerable depth and so allow students to develop their own
skill in theoretical analysis.
\n
Each week’s paper is posted at leas
t a week in advance on this page\, and participants are expected to have r
ead it.

DESCRIPTION:
In this paper\, I explore the role that metaphor plays in th
e development of new scientific models. My goal is to illustrate metaphor’
s fecundity in this regard\, the way in which it extends our understanding
in surprisingly diverse ways. As Mary Hesse put this point\, “it is preci
sely in its extension that the fruitfulness of the model may lie” (1980\,
114).
\n
\n
The particular focus of my paper is on the history
of what John Haugeland called mind design: the use of mechanical models t
o reverse-engineer how minds work (1997\, 1). My history focuses on two su
ch models: the clockwork model and the computer model. In each case\, I sh
ow how a metaphorical understanding of the model led to conceptual innovat
ion in two distinct ways. First\, it provided an interpretive frame that g
uided new research by offering an abstract\, hypothesized structure to be
later filled in by empirical research (Camp 2020). Second\, it provided a
concrete exemplar to contrast with human minds (Daston 1994). For instance
\, while on the one hand Descartes invoked the clockwork model to explain
how color vision works (Adams 2015)\, he also invoked it as a vivid illust
ration of how human reasoning does not work (Riskin 2016).
\n
\n
It is this second source of conceptual innovation that is the real core
of the paper\; it reveals what I call the dialectic of mind design. This
dialectic is especially evident in our tendency to redefine what it is to
be human in response to new technological developments. For instance\, it
is evident when we take something that was previously assumed to be paradi
gmatic of mental acuity\, such as the ability to play chess\, and redefine
it as something merely mechanical (Ensmenger 2012). But it is equally wel
l evident when we take something that was previously taken to be mechanica
l—such as color vision—and redefine it as paradigmatically mental (Chalmer
s 1997\; cf. Adams and Browning 2020). The concept of mindedness is\, in t
his sense\, a constantly moving goalpost that is perennially being redefin
ed in response to new technological developments.

DESCRIPTION:
When is anxiety justified? When does anxiety cease to functi
on as an effective and reasonable signal preventing imminent threats\, and
when does it become an invasive projection of our own ghosts? My talk is
divided into three sections. First\, I will emphasize the anthropological
relevance of anxiety: in various theoretical frameworks\, the difference b
etween free-floating anxiety and fear directed at a specific danger even s
erves as a criterion for distinguishing human beings from animals. Second\
, I will conduct a phenomenological analysis of anxiety focusing in partic
ular on the altered relationship between perception and imagination. Third
\, I will address a specific form of anxiety which is particularly dominan
t in the context of our post-disciplinary societies: the feeling of being
left behind. My talk presents a philosophical inquiry into the affective p
henomenon that can both protect us from danger and be a danger in itself.<

DESCRIPTION:
\n
What is an appropriate response to humiliating treatm
ents such as insults? This question is not only relevant to today’s discou
rse but has also piqued the curiosity of thinkers in classical Chinese phi
losophy. The Warring States period debate regarding whether one’s inner se
nse of shame can shield one from insulting situations and from experiencin
g shame is frequently presented as a one-sided narrative that focuses on t
he Confucian texts. Meanwhile\, the views of their rival thinkers\, such a
s the Daoist\, legalist\, or much-neglected Songzi (3rd century BCE)\, are
rarely the focus of attention. This paper brings Songzi\, a key player in
the debate of emotions as responses to external triggers\, into the pictu
re and restores the historical intellectual discourse over the topic of wh
at constitutes an appropriate response to humiliating situations such as i
nsults. More importantly\, I point out the philosophical significance of t
his debate\, namely how Songzi prompts Xunzi to respond to an ambiguity wi
thin the Confucian doctrine: The early Confucians appear to think that an
individual’s internal virtues can isolate and shield one from hostile exte
rnal stimuli while also maintaining that the external environment impacts
one’s moral cultivation and moral life in significant ways. Xunzi’s strate
gic move\, I argue\, is to give credit to both an inner sense of shame and
the function of external stimuli in inducing negative emotions\, thus mak
ing an important philosophical concession compared to Confucius and Menciu
s.

DESCRIPTION:
How do we experience space? And what does this mean for the
spaces we design? We explore these questions by bringing together speakers
from Architecture\, Neuroscience\, and Virtual Reality\, with two specifi
c aims: First\, we explore what Architecture and Virtual Reality can learn
from each other\, as two distinct approaches to “spatial design”. Whilst
spatial experience has long been a central question of Architecture\, Virt
ual Reality is only beginning to grapple with these questions\, as technol
ogy transitions from 2D screens to 3D spatial interfaces. Second\, we expl
ore the nature of spatial experience itself\, with two approaches to under
standing the human mind. Whilst contemporary Architecture is influenced by
Philosophy (specifically the “Phenomenological” tradition)\, the tools of
Neuroscience are increasingly being applied to questions of Architecture
as well. Through this multidisciplinary exchange we hope to deepen our und
erstanding of spatial experience\, and how it informs the physical and vir
tual spaces we design.

DESCRIPTION:
The violence already systematically inflicted on other earth
beings (animals and the environment)\, and intensifying today intensified
through ecological collapse and climate change\, is ‘in plain sight’. Yet
entrenched epistemic and institutional barriers impede its being register
ed in ways proportionate to its gravity. While in recent years\, philosoph
ers and social theorists have done a good job at explaining why\, to use t
wo familiar example\, glass walls to abattoirs don’t stop people eating me
at\, and data on climate change does not catalyse mass mobilization\, we h
ave been less adept at delivering our analysis in ways that both illuminat
e and transform the many sites of dangerous inertia.
\n
Through the e
xperience of living through the Black Summer wildfires\, Danielle
Celermajer decided to philosophize the impact of climate catastro
phe on animals and the environment through the genre of creative non-ficti
on. The result was Summertime\; Reflections on a Vanishing Future
\, a book that grounds arguments about what ethics and responsibility to o
ther earth beings means in the era of climate catastrophe in the immediate
experiences of the members of the multispecies community with whom she li
ves. In this conversation\, Celermajer and Professor Alice Crary
strong> will take Summertime as their starting point to reflect on questio
ns of ethics\, language\, and the responsibility of theorists in the midst
of ecological collapse.

Da
nielle Celermajer is Professor of Sociology at the University of
Sydney\, Deputy Director of the Sydney Environment Institute and leads the
Multispecies Justice project. Her books include Sins of the Nation an
d the Ritual of Apology and The Prevention of Torture\, A Cultura
l History of Law in the Modern Age\, The Subject of Human Rights<
/em>\, and Institutional Transformations. Through the experience
of living through the black summer bushfires with a multispecies community
\, she began writing about a new crime of our age\, Omnicide. Her book Sum
mertime\; Reflections on a Vanishing Future (Penguin Random House\, 2021)
considers the more-than-human experience of climate catastrophe.

\n
Throughout the 21st century
\, philosophers of language have increasingly concerned themselves with th
e hateful\, coercive\, dehumanizing\, and deadly. In particular\, ‘non-ide
al’ philosophers of language question whether received conceptual toolkits
from philosophy of language manage to make contact with our non-ideal wor
ld at all. This paper takes up that methodological interest from a Wittgen
steinian perspective. Drawing on critical interventions by Nancy Bauer\, A
vner Baz\, Alice Crary\, Cora Diamond\, and Toril Moi\, I argue that non-i
deal philosophers of language neutralize their ideology-critical bite when
they presume an authoritative force for their words by virtue of a normat
ively neutral conception of reason. This neutralization is driven and sust
ained by an idle picture of language that isolates our words from the acti
vities into which they are woven. To make discursive phenomena available i
n their political import\, we philosophers of language must acknowledge ou
r own non-neutral involvement in the very discursive practices we’re theor
izing – and this will require us to relinquish the entitlement to impose a
uthoritative requirements on language through theories of meaning.
\n
To illustrate the need for normatively non-neutral methods in philosophic
al practice\, I focus on cases where philosophers’ curious gaze treats tra
ns people
\nas fascinating objects of knowledge\, as opposed to ackno
wledging us as interlocutors and recognizing the political stakes of our d
iscursive practices. What inhibits the cultivation of acknowledgement\, of
normatively resonant modes of attention\, is a picture of philosophical t
heorizing that forbids us from articulating our political solidarities thr
ough our work (and thus obfuscates what we ourselves are doing with words
when theorizing). The non-ideal philosopher’s critical concept of idealiza
tion\, seen aright in a normatively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the so
rt of theoretical resource that is mobilized by members of marginalized gr
oups to invite such modes of attention – to shape not only our epistemic r
esources\, but also our senses of what matters.

Anja Jauernig’s recently published The World Acc
ording to Kant (Oxford\, 2021) defends an interpretation of Kant’s cr
itical idealism as an ontological position\, according to which Kant can b
e considered a genuine idealist about empirical objects\, empirical minds\
, and space time. Yet in contrast to other intentional objects\, appearanc
es genuinely exist\, which is why Kant can also be considered a genuine re
alist about empirical objects\, empirical minds\, and space and time. This
book spells out Kant’s case for critical idealism thus understood and cla
rifies Kant’s conception of appearances and things in themselves in relati
on to Kant’s Leibniz-Wolffian predecessors.

DESCRIPTION:
The founder of phenomenology is neither known as a political
philosopher nor as an intellectual who publicly expressed his political v
iews. However\, this should not lead us to think that Husserl himself or h
is thought were completely “unpolitical”. In this talk\, our main claim is
that two things are distinctive of Husserl’s approach to politics: First\
, it is of utmost importance for him that politics should be guided by “id
eas”\, which means that it should not just engage in realpolitik\, but be
regulated by an idealistic\, maybe even utopian picture of how the state a
nd the community should be organized. Second\, Husserl grounds “the politi
cal”\, i.e.\, the existential basis for organized politics\, in a phenomen
ology of communities.
\n
In the final part of the talk\, we will dist
inguish different strands in the reception of Husserl’s political philosop
hy: one group that creatively expands on Husserl’s ideas on the state\, co
mmunity\, and home- and alienworld\; one that expresses reservations about
whether Husserlian phenomenology\, for methodological reasons\, at all al
lows for genuine political thought\; and one that uses analyses or methods
that Husserl developed in a non-political context and employs them in a p
oliticizing and critical manner.

DESCRIPTION:
Samantha Matherne has written the first recent book in Engli
sh on the philosophy of Cassirer\, covering the full range of his thought.
Her research also explores the reciprocal relationship between perception
and aesthetics. She approaches these issues largely through a historical
lens\, as they are taken up by Kant and developed in Post-Kantian traditio
ns in the 19th and 20th centuries\, especially Phenomenology and Neo-Kanti
anism.

DESCRIPTION:
The virtually ubiquitous view of seeing-as experiences in Wi
ttgenstein scholarship interprets them as conceptually-laden (with some ex
ceptions\, e.g. Travis 2016). The claim is that we can see the same image
differently due to switching the conceptual filters\, as it were\, through
which we experience the image (e.g. Schroeder 2010\; Mulhall 2001). In th
is paper I focus on a specific kind of a seeing-as experience for which Wi
ttgenstein’s example of suddenly noticing the similarity between faces is
the paradigm. I argue that it is possible to have no concepts involved in
this experience\, and propose an understanding of what I call “the imagist
ic seeing-as” as a similarity association\, of the kind that grounds poeti
c means of expression\, such as metaphors. The associative nature of this
imagistic seeing-as experience may also contribute to the understanding of
biases – both personal (e.g. displaced offence) and social (e.g. sexism).

ABSTRACT: Yogācāra Buddhists articulated in the 3-5th c. CE India an
explicit model of how we collectively\, yet mostly unconsciously\, constru
ct our shared social realities\, our cultures. These “worlds” are supporte
d by cognitive processes informed by cultural influences occurring outside
our conscious awareness\, in the “store-house consciousness” (ālaya-vijñā
na). Through development and socialization\, we come to identify with thes
e cultural norms\, thinking “I am this” and “this is mine.” Moreover\, and
in agreement with cognitive scientists\, Yogācārins argue that humans hav
e developed to be “innate essentialists\,” so that we imagine that our con
structed social and cultural identities have their own essential\, intrins
ic characteristics\, set apart from all others\, generating the “us/them”
dichotomies that underlie conflicts between groups. We can counteract thes
e harmful patterns\, Yogācārins say\, by analyzing how our social and cult
ural “realities” are collectively constructed\, and by showing how—through
logical\, psychological\, and contemplative exercises—we may weaken our u
nreflective\, knee-jerk reaction to different peoples and cultures\, and t
hereby foster more tolerance\, empathy and understanding for all beings. I
n sum\, Yogācāra Buddhism offers a rigorous and nuanced analysis of the or
igins of our prejudices and a set of methods to overcome them\, rooted in
ancient traditions yet relevant to contemporary issues.

The Philosophy Film Club at The New School is hosting a
screening of Part 3 of ‘La Flor’ (dir. Mariano Llinás).
\n
\n
By way of introduction\, a few words from our guest facilitator
Dr. Miguel Paley (Fordham University):
p>\n
“Hello all! For my session I’ve chosen to talk about the movie La F
lor\, a personal favorite! This amazing movie is a bit unusual though\, it
has 6 standalone parts which altogether end up totaling just over 14 hour
s (insane I know!). Since we obviously can’t watch it all together\, I enc
ourage everyone to watch the movie little by little a month or a few weeks
before we meet. The movie is great and you won’t regret it!
\n
(The
movie is available to watch here and you can get some i
nfo about it here.
\n
Lookin
g forward to seeing everyone! -Miguel”
\n

\n
\n
This
semester\, an international lineup will take us on cosmic\, labyrinthine\
, miraculous journeys\; if that sounds hyperbolic\, just wait. Those compe
lled by form will find ample meta-cinematic gristle\, while those wishing
to dive into content will meet oceans for us to navigate.
\n
\n<
p>Everyone — whether seasoned in philosophy or without any prior philosoph
ical training — with an interest in philosophy\, film\, and/or conversatio
n about the meaning of what we experience is welcome! Each screening will
begin and conclude with a discussion facilitated by a member of the NSSR P
hilosophy Department. Snacks and beverages always provided.\n

DESCRIPTION:
On the basis of Poincaré and Weyl’s view of predicativity as
invariance\, we develop an extensive framework for predicative\, type-fre
e first-order set theory in which Γ0 and muc
h bigger ordinals can be defined as von Neumann ordinals. This refutes the
accepted view of Γ0 as the ‘limit of pr
edicativity.’ We also explain what is wrong in Feferman-Schütte analysis o
f predicativity on which this view of
Γ0
is based.

DESCRIPTION:
The importance of incorporating value pluralism into a theor
y of justice is recognized in many conceptualizations of justice. This plu
ralism is often seen as a reason to attend to a range of perspectives\, pe
rspectives which can function as a source of information in determining wh
ich principles should guide justice. However\, philosophy’s ability to pro
perly attend to different perspectives has received extensive attention in
the criticisms of various non-ideal theorists\, who argue that ideal-theo
retical philosophy runs the risk of excluding important aspects of actual
social problems. Taking these criticisms on board\, this paper builds on n
on-ideal theory by arguing for a Wittgensteinian family resemblance approa
ch to justice. I will explain how this linguistic practice-embedded unders
tanding of justice can be a helpful tool for non-ideal theory\, as it can
give us insight into why\, in various similar but different cases\, the no
tion of justice is seen as applicable. In light of this approach\, I will
suggest a reorientation of the pluralist demand towards an empirical start
ing point.

DESCRIPTION:
The controversial issue of information transfer in quantum t
eleportation procedure is analyzed in the framework of the many-worlds int
erpretation of quantum mechanics. In contrast to the claims of Deutsch & H
ayden 2000\, it is argued that quantum information\, considered as a measu
rable property for an observer in a particular world\, is transferred in a
nonlocal way in the teleportation process. This\, however\, does not lead
to action at a distance on the level of the universe which includes all p
arallel worlds. Preprint: https://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/21447/

The Philosophy Film Club at The New School is hosting a
screening of ‘Stalker’ (dir. Andrei Tarkovsky).
\n
\n<
p>You are warmly invited to join us for a screening + discussion of “the m
ovie we need right now” (per Salon)\, an immersion into “undistracted cont
emplation” that “abounds with moments of baffling beauty and philosophical
heft within its vast finitude.” Our esteemed colleague
Olga Knizh

This semester\
, an international lineup will take us on cosmic\, labyrinthine\, miraculo

to content will meet oceans for us to navigate.
\n
\n
Everyone
— whether seasoned in philosophy or without any prior philosophical train
ing — with an interest in philosophy\, film\, and/or conversation about th
e meaning of what we experience is welcome! Each screening will begin and

We are embarking on an inno

elving into the realms of speech and movement improvisation.
\n<

Through this innovative production\, we aim to challenge and provoke audi

DESCRIPTION:
When W.D. Ross poses the question “what makes right acts rig
ht?” (The Right and the Good\, ch. 2)\, he is asking a question t
hat is prior to\, and has a bearing on\, the practical question “how do I
determine the right thing to do?” The Stoics recognize this. Cicero (D
e Officio\, where he is referring to Panaetius’ work Peri Kathêk
ontos) tells us that every inquiry about duty has two parts: (1) a th
eoretical part concerned with the end of good and evil deeds\, which addre
sses such matters as whether all duties are perfect (omniane official
perfecta sint)\, whether some are more important than others\, and wh
at the kinds of duties are\, and (2) a practical part which sets out rules
(praecepta) by which our conduct can be made to conform with the
end (De Officiis\, 1.7). While Cicero himself focuses on the se
cond\, this paper seeks the answer to the first part.

DESCRIPTION:
María Lugones theorizes the notion of resistance in terms of
the notion of “trespassing\,” through which “active subjectivity” has the
possibility of problematizing normative practices and redrawing maps of p
ower. In this presentation\, I highlight the importance of the aesthesic o
r the perceptual in Lugones’s view of resistance as developed before her t
urn to decolonial feminism. In doing so\, I point to the manner in which t
his account of resistance is dependent on a sense of ambiguity inspired by
the work of Gloria Anzaldúa. Moreover\, I introduce a notion of aesthetic
trespassing in connection to the perception of artworks that discloses th
e intimacy between the perceiver and the perceived.

DESCRIPTION:
We consider the game of infinite Wordle as played on Baire s
pace ωω
span>. The codebreaker can win in finit
ely many moves against any countable dictionary Δ⊆ωω\, but not again
st the full dictionary of Baire space. The Wordle number is the siz
e of the smallest dictionary admitting such a winning strategy for the cod
ebreaker\, the corresponding Wordle ideal is the ideal generated by
these dictionaries\, which under MA includes all dictionaries of size les
s than the continuum. The Absurdle number\, meanwhile\, is the size
of the smallest dictionary admitting a winning strategy for the absurdist
in the two-player variant\, infinite Absurdle. In ZFC there are nondeterm
ined Absurdle games\, with neither player having a winning strategy\, but
if one drops the axiom of choice\, then the principle of Absurdle determin
acy has large cardinal consistency strength over ZF+DC. This is joint work
with Ben De Bondt (Paris).

Matthew Boyle works on topics in the philosophy of mind and

een especially concerned with the question of how we know our own minds an
d with debates about the scope and limits of such knowledge. He is present
ly at work on a book called The Significance of Self-Consciousness (under contract with Oxford University Press) on the distinction between
rational and nonrational minds\, the connection between rationality and t
he capacity for first-person awareness of one’s own cognitive activity\, a
nd the continuing relevance of these topics to contemporary debates in phi
losophy and psychology.

DESCRIPTION:
Despite the political polarization that characterizes many
of our societies and much of the world\, comparative philosophy — which d
epends on crossing various kinds of boundaries — is intellectually and pro
fessionally doing reasonably well. Exciting new work continues to appear a
nd venues for publication and discussion (print and digital\, in person an
d on-line) are proliferating. Another thing that is proliferating\, though
\, is names for what it is we are doing. Are comparative\, cross-cultural\
, intercultural\, blended\, and fusion philosophy all the same thing? What
do they share and where do they diverge\, and why? Can we identify a dist
inctive project of comparative philosophy and say why it is important? Bas
ed on a broad survey of approaches\, in this essay I offer answers to thes
e questions. I maintain that whenever we do philosophy by drawing on at le
ast two significantly different traditions of philosophy\, we are doing co
mparative philosophy. Unpacking some of the key words in this definition w
ill enable me to clarify some persistent confusions as well as to stress t
he constitutive gamble that lies at the heart of all comparative philosoph
y. I identify three different ways to do comparative philosophy well—Compa
rison Philosophy\, Rooted Global Philosophy\, and Emergent Intercultural P
hilosophy—and argue that which method to choose depends both on the values
that motivate one’s inquiry and on the pragmatic situation that frames on
e’s work.

DESCRIPTION:
The first section of the talk will give an account of the Hi
ndu-Buddhist debate about the existence of selves. The particular Hindu /
Brāhmaṇical tradition concentrated on is Nyāya\, and ‘Buddhism’ is used t
o refer specifically to Dharmakīrtian Buddhism with its doctrine of moment
ariness. The second section looks at a Nyāya argument against Buddhism.
I will argue that it is not difficult for the Buddhist to come up with a s
atisfactory response. The third section will introduce the view of Rāmaka
ṇṭha (950–1000 CE) and look at three of his arguments against the Buddhist
view. These I view as more difficult for the Buddhist to respond to. Th
e fourth section introduces the view of Galen Strawson\, relates it to the
Buddhist view\, and considers the extent to which it is susceptible to Rā
makaṇṭha’s arguments.

DESCRIPTION:
Analyzing the Mexican case of collectives of women currently
looking for their disappeared relatives due to an escalation of violence
related to the so-called War against Drugs that former president Felipe Ca
lderón (2006–2012) started\, this essay develops a new conception of poli
tics grounded not only on rational thought but also on affect. These colle
ctives put forward a materialistic\, feminist\, and performative mode of p
olitics. Publicly lamenting their losses and literally digging bodies out
of Mexican land\, these women perform and recover the citizenship that the
Mexican state has de facto disavowed of them. I propose conceptualizing t
hem as “bad victims” since their taking action does not take away their pa
in\; rather\, the public exposure of their lament actually turns them into
political agents.

DESCRIPTION:
How doe
s the imagination change us? Why should picturing ourselves a certain way
have any real effect on what we are? These questions are central to debate
s in Buddhist tantric literature regarding the generation stage (utpatt
ikrama)\, wherein practitioners visualize themselves as buddhas enscon
sed in magnificent mandala-palaces. For some\, this practice is what sets
Buddhist tantra apart: through this “yoga of the imagination\,” as David S
hulman puts it\, a practitioner can achieve buddhahood in a single lifetim
e. And yet\, as the Buddhist tantric author Indrabhūti (8th century) argue
s\, a pauper who imagines himself to be a king does not thereby become one
—so\, in the same way\, practitioners who visualize themselves as buddhas
will not thereby become buddhas. The mental imagery (ākāra) involve
d in this practice is just so much unreal fabrication. Why should it have
real transformative effects? I’ll consider here how these debates played o
ut in Sanskrit Buddhist tantric texts from the 10th–11th centuries. I’ll f
ocus on early authors in the Kālacakra tradition\, who upheld Indrabhūti’s
critique of the generation stage\, and authors like Ratnākaraśānti\, Vāgī
śvarakīrti\, and Advayavajra (aka Maitrīpa)\, who each in their own way cr
itiqued mental imagery yet defended the importance and effectiveness of ge
neration-stage practice. In the first part of the paper\, I’ll consider ar
guments against mental imagery as these appear in generation-stage practic
e texts and the early Kālacakra tradition. In the second part\, I’ll turn
to why we might think unreal mental imagery can nevertheless have real tra
nsformative effects\, paying special attention to the ways Buddhist tantri
c authors writing in Sanskrit take up ideas from the tradition of dramatic
theory (nāṭyaśastra) and Sanskrit culture more broadly.

DESCRIPTION:
\n
\n\n
Nietzsche (1844-1900) is one of the few philosophers who have a
n intimate connection to music. This connection has much to do with his ea
rly music education. His contemporaries testify that he was a good pianist
. His musical ambition\, or his musical daimon\, urged him to compose musi
c\, although he had no training in this area. Most of his compositions are
from his late teens\; his earliest inspirations are Beethoven\, Mozart\,
Haydn\, Schubert\, Schumann and Wagner. His compositions were gathered tog
ether and published by Curt Paul Janz in Friedrich Nietzsche\, Der musikal
ische Nachlass. Nietzsche’s music is available in several productions. How
ever\, Nietzsche did not follow a musical path and decided to become a phi
lologist and dedicated his life to writing and philosophy.
\n
Nietzsc
he’s background in music\, on the other hand\, influenced his way of think
ing and writing. All of these interesting areas between music\, literature
\, and philosophy and Nietzsche’s relationship to music understood on a br
oad spectrum have been explored by many Nietzsche scholars including Georg
es Liébert\, Graham Parkes\, Francois Noudelmann\, Stefan Lorenz Sorgner a
nd others and in the anthology\, An Anthology on Nietzsche and Music: Phil
osophical Thoughts and Musical Experiments\, edited by the presenters of t
oday’s event. This event is dedicated to the exploration of this relations
hip between Nietzsche and music.

DESCRIPTION:Serving as a response to Aimé Césaire’s call for a universal
filled with particularity from his infamous resignation from the French C
ommunist Party in 1956\, I focus on the role of culture for a project of u
niversal emancipation. To do so\, I follow Sylvia Wynter’s statement that
the Négritude movement is an example of a universal and cultural project.
Recalling Césaire’s words in “Return to My Native Land\,” culture that ser
ves universal emancipation must be “free of the desire to tame but familia
r with the play of the world.” To this end\, I develop a conception of cul
ture that is both local and universal\, that centers on the importance of
what it means to be human\, as life\, as being\, and as experience by read
ing culture as necessarily local\, collective\, disenchanted\, and related
to play.

DESCRIPTION:\n\n
\n
\n
\nDavid Bates\, in conversation with
Stefanos Geroulano and Joanna Stalnaker
\nWe imagine that w
e are both in control of and controlled by our bodies—autonomous and yet a
utomatic. This entanglement\, according to David W. Bates\, emerged in the
seventeenth century when humans first built and compared themselves with
machines. Reading varied thinkers from Descartes to Kant to Turing\, Bates
reveals how time and time again technological developments offered new wa
ys to imagine how the body’s automaticity worked alongside the mind’s auto
nomy. Tracing these evolving lines of thought\, David Bates discusses his
new book\, An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence\, which
offers a new theorization of the human as a being that is dependent on tec
hnology and produces itself as an artificial automaton without a natural\,
outside origin.
\nDavid Bates is Professor of Rheto
ric at the University of California Berkeley. His research focuses on the
history of legal and political ideas\, and the relationship between techno
logy\, science\, and the history of human cognition.
\nStefa
nos Geroulanos is the Director of the Remarque Institute and Prof
essor of European Intellectual History at NYU. He usually writes about con
cepts that weave together modern understandings of time\, the human\, and
the body. His new book is a history of the concepts\, images\, and science
s of human origins since 1770\, forthcoming from Liveright Press as Th
e Invention of Prehistory: Empire\, Violence\, and Our Obsession with Huma
n Origins in 2024.
\nJoanna Stalnaker<
/strong> is Professor of French at Columbia. She works on Enlightenment ph
ilosophy and literature\, with a recent interest in how women shaped the E
nlightenment. Her new book\, The Rest Is Silence: Enlightenment Philos
ophers Facing Death\, will be published by Yale University Press in t
he Walpole series.

DESCRIPTION:What is critique? According to the Kantian tradition\, it is
an investigation of the transcendental conditions for the possibility of
thinking and experience. While later critics shifted the focus to material
conditions\, core metaphysical commitments and procedures of critique rem
ained unchanged. Critique of Critique (Stanford UP\, 2023)\, the subject o
f this talk\, probes critique as an orientation of thought through its his
torical manifestations from Plato to the Frankfurt school and present-day
critical theory. In the process\, it asks us to consider what critical thi
nking is and whether it can assume orientations other than critique.
\n
Bio: Roy Ben-Shai\, a New School graduate\, is an Assi
stant Professor of Philosophy at Sarah Lawrence College. His recently publ
ished book\, Critique of Critique (Stanford University Press\, 20
23)\, is the first volume in a trilogy on the concept of “orientation” in
critical thought. He is currently working on the second volume\, Emanc
ipatory Thinking\, or the Art of Thinking Otherwise.

DESCRIPTION:This talk reads contemporary debates about structural racism
and US history from the perspective of philosophical questions about iden
tity and difference. While many people have argued that America needs to c
ome to terms with or “work through” the racism in its history that has sha
ped and continues to shape its present structures\, it remains difficult t
o explain what connects this past and the present. Are we talking about on
e racism with many different past and present forms? Or are there multiple
racisms that only share some similar features? In this talk\, I draw atte
ntion to how these divisions play out particularly in contemporary Black S
tudies and argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resour
ces for thinking about these questions through his discussions of repetiti
on. I argue that understanding our conversations about structural racism a
nd history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to b
etter understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate
forms together\, and what presuppositions operate in many attempts to “wo
rk through” the past.

Queer Theory\, and Black Studies to address questions of identity and dif
ference amongst concepts of race\, forms of racism\, and forms of anti-rac
ism. How can we better account for the relations between at times radicall

DESCRIPTION:
The Philosophy Film Club and Liberal Studies present a scree
ning of Robert Bresson’s Pickpocket (1959) and discussion led by
Robert Pippin (U Chicago).
\nGenerally considered one of Bresson’s g
reatest works\, Pickpocket tells an “incomparable story of crime
and redemption … A cornerstone of the career of this most economical and p
rofoundly spiritual of filmmakers\, Pickpocket is an elegantly cr
afted\, tautly choreographed study of humanity in all its mischief and gra
ce\, the work of a director at the height of his powers” (Criterion Collec
tion).
\nRobert B. Pippin is the Evelyn Stefansson Nef Distinguished
Service Professor in the Committee on Social Thought\, the Department of
Philosophy\, and the College at the University of Chicago. He is the autho
r of several books and articles on German idealism and later German philos
ophy\, including Filmed Thought: Cinema as Reflective Form (Unive
rsity of Chicago Press\, 2020)\, Metaphysical Exile: On J. M. Coetzee’
s Jesus Fictions (Oxford University Press\, 2021)\, Philosophy by
Other Means: The Arts in Philosophy and Philosophy in the Arts (Univ
ersity of Chicago Press\, 2021)\, and most recently\, The Culmination:
Heidegger\, German Idealism\, and the Fate of Philosophy (Chicago: U
niversity of Chicago Press\, 2024).

DESCRIPTION:In the final part of The Human Condition (1958) Han
nah Arendt turns to the danger of ‘world- alienation’. Based on a variety
of discoveries and evolutions that are constitutive of modernity (globaliz
ation\, Protestantism\, the invention of the telescope)\, modern man has a
dopted an Archimedean\, external position vis-à-vis the world. According
to Arendt\, this ‘view from without’ has gradually jeopardized the experie
nce of a shared world\, endangering the foundation of all meaning-giving a
ctivities.
\nMy talk can be considered as a reply to Arendt’s pessim
istic account of modern ‘world-alienation’. It builds on the idea that som
e of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century (Ernst Jünger
\, Georg Lukács\, Ernst Bloch\, Theodor Adorno\, Walter Benjamin\, Aby Wa
rburg\, Sigmund Freud) did not equate the loss of a shared world with the
loss of meaning. Rather\, the conceptual framework of a substantial part o
f early twentieth century German philosophy centers on the exploration of
a productive opposition\, negation or fragmentation of the world. From the
perspective of these thinkers\, the world’s ‘durability’ (Arendt) is not
simply a source of shared meaning since it can be experienced as the mark
of its indifference to change and renewal.

DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be\, appear\, and act in public? These
questions are rarely asked when it comes to the often-diagnosed “structura
l transformation” (Habermas) of the public sphere. Yet people have a wide
variety of “public experiences” every day: from the simple experience of l
eaving the house and moving on the street to highly networked and technolo
gically mediated public communication and concerted action. In the project
I would like to present in its outlines\, I try to shed light on the qual
ity and structure of such “public experiences” using a phenomenological ap
proach. In this way\, I want to reclaim public space as an experiential sp
ace and argue that experiences matter for the constitution of different ki
nds of public spheres and public spaces.
\nHow\, for example\, do ph
enomena like visibility\, attention\, relevance\, reality\, trust\, or the
ir opposites emerge in public contexts? And how can our individual and col
lective experiences of the public retain its high democratic ideals while
facing the constant threat of superficial entertainment and self-commercia
lization? In contrast to theories that view the public sphere primarily as
a system of information\, coordination\, or discourse\, a phenomenologica
l approach aims to reveal the ways in which experiences constitute spaces
of meaning. Such a disclosure of the world-building function of experience
is crucial if we are to understand how people can relate to their public
existence and a public world\, how they can integrate into it or fall away
from it\, gain or lose trust\, and how a shared world is either built or
destroyed.
