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.

The Center for Philosophy of Religion at Rutgers University is pleased to host an in-person\, working-papers conference on the Psychol ogy and Epistemology of Religious Experience. We are seeking abstracts (15 0-350 words) from those interested in participating. The tentative date is 15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Pa rticipants with accepted submissions will be given hotel accommodations an d a modest honorarium to help defray travel costs.
\nTheme
\nThe overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign reli gious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious beliefs. But religious experiences of the kind philosophers are intereste d in are also studied in other fields as well\, such as psychology and rel igious studies. However\, the psychology and epistemology of religious exp eriences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely to be insightful in various ways. To that end\, we are interested in brin ging together scholars working on the psychology and epistemology of relig ious experiences. Potential topics include:
\n· The nature of religious experiences
\n· Taxonomies of religious experiences< /p>\n
· Potential psychological mechanisms and accounts of religio us experience
\n· The relation between perception and religiou s experiences
\n· The epistemology of religious experience
\n· The interactions between the psychology and epistemology of r eligious experience
\n· The relation of cognitive science of r eligion to religious experience
\nAny proposed papers on these topic s\, or similar ones\, are welcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary appr oaches are also welcome.
\nInstructions
\nPlease submit an abstract (150-350 words)\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full pap er to Timothy Perrine at tp654@scarletmail.rutgers.edu. Submission should be prepa red for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, in stitutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information. Submiss ion deadline is 28 February\; acceptances will be decided by 5 March\; and the workshop will be held 15-16 April.

\nWelcome to “Unmasking Object ivity: A Critical Examination of the Nexus between Universal Truth Claims and Emergent Power Structures\,” a conference that plunges into the intric ate relationship between knowledge and power. In this conference\, we will uncover how epistemological standpoints intersect with systems of coercio n\, marginalization\, and oppression. Our topic extends to alternative vis ions of knowledge\, truth\, and learning\, offering the potential for shar ed beliefs while addressing the adverse impacts of entrenched power struct ures.
\nHow have claims to absolute\, objective\, or scientific trut h driven oppression through ideologies like religious absolutism\, colonia lism\, technocracy\, and scientific sexism and racism? Contemporary debate s further emphasize the significance of this intersection.
\nOur dis course will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether univer salist epistemologies privilege specific knowledge systems while silencing valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues o verlooked by dominant knowledge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. Th is conference fosters critical exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawi ng on interdisciplinary studies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political theory.
\nTogether\, we will assess the ethical implications of our epistemological practices and explore pathways to creating more equitable systems of knowledge and social learning. Join us at “Unmasking Objectivit y” as we navigate the intricate web of knowledge and power\, aiming for a just and inclusive future where the notion of objectivity is both scrutini zed and harnessed for social transformation.

\nThe 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.

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.
\nBio: Eyo Ewara is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. His teaching and re search explores the relationships between 20th Century Continental Philoso phy\, Critical Philosophy of Race\, and Queer Theory. His work has appear ed in Theory and Event\, Puncta\, Philosophy Today\, Critical Philosophy o f Race\, Political Theology\, and other venues. His current research proje ct is particularly interested in engaging work in Continental Philosophy\, 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 y disparate concepts\, structures\, and practices such that they can all s pecifically and recognizably be called racial? What might our account of t hese relations say about our ability to address racism’s harms?
