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.

A two-day conference on the philosophy of deep learning\, or ganized by Ned Block (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York University) and Raphaël Millière (Columbia University)\, and jointly sponsored by the Presidential Scholar s in Society and Neuroscience program at Columbia University and the < a href='https://wp.nyu.edu/consciousness/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'> Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness at New York University.
\nThe conference will explore current issue s in AI research from a philosophical perspective\, with particular attent ion to recent work on deep artificial neural networks. The goal is to brin g together philosophers and scientists who are thinking about these system s in order to gain a better understanding of their capacities\, their limi tations\, and their relationship to human cognition.
\nThe conferenc e will focus especially on topics in the philosophy of cognitive science ( rather than on topics in AI ethics and safety). It will explore questions such as:
\nA pre-conference debate o n Friday\, March 24th will tackle the question “Do large language models n eed sensory grounding for meaning and understanding ?”. Speakers include < a href='https://www.berggruen.org/people/jacob-browning/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Jacob Browning (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York U niversity)\, Yann LeCun (New York University)\, and Ellie Pavlick (Brown University / Google AI).
\nWe invite abstract submissions for a few short talk s and poster presentations related to the topic of the conference. Submiss ions from graduate students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged. Please send a title and abstract (500-750 words) to p hildeeplearning@gmail.com by January 22nd\, 2023 (11.59pm EST).

Socrates’ close association of madness and philosophy from the Phaedrus’ Palinode has puzzled interpreter s. How can philosophy be equated to irrationality? In this paper I argue a gainst interpretations that either deny that the association of madness an d philosophy ought to be taken seriously or downplay this association by c onsidering madness as akin to the unreflective inspiration characterizing only the first stages of philosophizing but subsequently overcome by the mature philosopher. I show that the association of madness and philosophy is an integral part of Socrates’ polemics against what he calls “human mod eration”\, characterized by a cold calculation of costs and benefits. And\ , moreover\, that madness is an ongoing feature of philosophy and of the p hilosopher\, who is never fully in possession of all his rational and cogn itive processes but has to constantly work on them in an effort of self-cl arification.

Book discussion on Gwenda-lin Grewal’s\, Thinking A bout Death in Plato’s Euthydemus. A Close Reading and New Translation (OUP 2022)
\n\n

rruzza (NSSR)
\nNicholas Pappas (CUNY)

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.
