DESCRIPTION:
\n
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?
\n
This 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.

DESCRIPTION:
Investigations of sex differences in the human brain take pl
ace on politically sensitive terrain. While some scholars express concern
that gendered biases and stereotypes remain embedded in scientific researc
h\, others are alarmed about the politicization of science. This talk sets
out three kinds of conflicts that can arise in the neuroscience of sex di
fferences: academic freedom versus gender equality\; frameworks\, backgrou
nd assumptions\, and dominant methodologies\; and inductive risk and socia
l values. The boundaries between fair criticism and politicization are exp
lored for each kind of conflict\, pointing to ways in which the academic c
ommunity can facilitate fair criticism while protecting against politiciza
tion.

Registration is free but required. A registration lin
k will be shared via email with our department mailing lists a few weeks b

Book Panel with:

Chiara Bottici (NSSR a

nd Lang College).
\n
Abstract:
\n
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.

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:
Book panel: Anat Matar\, The Pover
ty of Ethics (Verso books 2022)
\n
Participants:
\n
Anat Matar (Senior Lecturer of Philosophy
at Tel Aviv University)
\n
Simon Critchley (Hans Jonas Professor of Philo
sophy at NSSR)
\n
Raef Zreik (Visiting Fellow at Yal
e Law School\, and Associate Professor of Jurisprudence at Ono Academic Co
llege)
\n
\n
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:
\n
\n\n
\n
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.

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.
