Since Plato\, western philosophy ha s been set down a path paved by a disavowal of the sensuous\, bracketed ma terial bodies\, and delimited aesthetic conceptions\, leaving human beings and their built environments separated from the natural world. Such exclu sions have left philosophy ill-equipped to deal with the various environme ntal crises we currently face\, as economic rationality and utilitarian lo gic further de-animate the world and sharpen the human/nature distinction. Even the concept “environment” often\, and ironically\, brings with it im plicit anthropocentric assumptions\, conceptualizing\, and thereby separat ing\, the human as independent from the surrounding world and reinforcing the human/nature divide. As a result\, our (mis)understandings of “nature” and “environment” may make us insensitive to and perpetuate\, rather than address\, climate change and other environmental catastrophes. To avoid a mbiguities and clarify our understanding\, we must ask: what role does Nat ure play within our theories and practices concerning so-called Environmen tal Philosophy? Furthermore\, what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broaden our understanding of “environment” to includ e a more robust conceptualization of the natural world and how the human b eing ought to be contextualized within it?
\nThis conference asks ho w we might reorient the language and practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequately respond to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “n ature\,” and “environment\,” as well as the reciprocal relations that cons titute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play i n our attempts to construct\, understand\, and preserve our environment(s) . How should we make sense of our practices and our relations to those wit h whom we share our surroundings? How can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the right tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond itself—to literature\, architecture\, mu sic\, film\, design—to better bring Environment\, and thus the world\, int o view? In the spirit of this\, we invite paper as well as project submiss ions from current graduate students in any discipline.

This conference aims to initiate dialogues between philosoph y and the arts. Philosophers and thinkers/ scholars across disciplines of humanities and social sciences will meet with artists and scholars from a wide variety of visual and visual artistic disciplines\, including paintin g\, photography\, and literature\, as well as travel\, dance\, and fashion . Rather than taking art as a mere object of philosophical study\, this co nference will explore the manifold confluences and intersections of philos ophy and art\, exploring how each can become the object of the other and h ow the boundary between the philosophical and the artistic can be sharpene d or blurred. The motive is specifically to explore the “visual” and “move ment” element in art of\, and in everyday life and theorize it – both phil osophically and critically.

\nArtifacts are a primary object of stu dy in the humanities. They are products and\, thus\, manifestations of hum an thought\, action\, and self-determination without which they cannot be understood. At the same time\, human mindedness depends on artifacts\, and as well as other objects – a dependence that is manifest in the form of a rtifacts. Human mindedness and the reality of artifacts are therefore inte rtwined in complex ways.
\nOur Fall institute meeting 2023 Institute will consider ways in which human mindedness and the reality of artifacts are dialectically intertwined. Of special interest will be automatically or mechanically produced artifacts\, and AI systems as artifacts that are neither inert causal models of human thinking nor independently minded ent ities. The ontology of such products thus needs to be calibrated in light of their contribution to the deep diversity of the mutual dependence of mi ndedness and artifacts. Some questions our seminar will address include: H ow do AI-research and AI-systems structure and restructure the historical\ , diverse articulation of human mindedness? How does our understanding of these and other artifacts shape our self-conception at the most fundamenta l level?
\n\n
We will explore these issues in the ontology\, epistemology\, and humanistic study of AI and other artifacts together wit h distinguished keynote speakers:

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.
\nGuests and visito rs must be up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccinations\, including a boost er when eligible.
\nBeginning Monday\, August 15\, T he New School will use CLEAR’S Health Pass \, an online tool that safely and simply verifies proof of COVID-1 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.

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.

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.

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.
