Nevertheless\, in this talk\, Robert Ilif fe discusses a prominent but neglected aspect of their disagreement\, name ly the mutual claim that their opponents’ conceptual foundations were fict ional\, and were the product both of diseased thinking and of illegitimate ly organized intellectual structures. Newton assailed Leibniz’s allegedly debased metaphysics in various prominent places\, and mobilized allies suc h as Roger Cotes and John Keill to do the same. Nevertheless\, by far the most sophisticated critique of illicit philosophical assumptions was launc hed against Newton by Leibniz in his correspondence with Samuel Clarke. In the Fifth letter to Clarke\, Leibniz identified core Newtonian positions as infantile\, vulgar\, and profoundly irreligious\, asserting that they w ere dangerous fictions that were less plausible and much less edifying tha n the rational romances of writers in the previous century. Although Leibn iz saved his most potent intellectual weapons for his final letter to Clar ke\, Robert Iliffe suggests that his attack on the fictional status of New ton’s work was no mere codicil to his general critique of Newton’s philoso phy\, but instead lay at the heart of it. This famous debate\, while of co urse somewhat sui generis\, is indicative of more general and dynamic feat ures of intellectual debate.

Ell y Truitt argues that Bacon’s work and reputation became central to a narra tive about the development of science that insisted on Europe as the only possible place of origin. Furthermore\, Truitt argues that this narrative was constructed\, in part\, by ignoring large parts of Bacon’s corpus and erasing his deep engagement with medieval scholars working in the Arabic t radition\, and by relying instead on a narrative structure that emerged in the context of late antique and medieval Christianity.

The current pandemic has focused attention on the techniques used by epidemiologists and other non-experimental scientists to infer ca usal hypotheses from correlational data. I have previously argued* that we need to explain these techniques by reducing causal relationships to depe ndencies in systems of structural equations with probabilistically indepen dent exogenous variables. In this talk I shall aim to use this account to cast light on (a) single-case counterfactual dependence and actual causati on\, (b) the content and practical relevance of generic causal claims like “smoking causes cancer”\, (c) the temporal asymmetry of causation\, and ( d) the proper understanding of rational action under risk.
\n*In par ticular\, I’ve argued this in http:/ /weebly-file/1/8/5/5/18551740/stat_nat_csn_monist.pdf. I will also be giving a talk on it at the CUNY Logic and Metaphysics workshop on Monday 7 March 1615-1815.

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.

Jacob McNu lty (University College London) will provide a response followed by a Q&A with our audience.
\nGuy 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
