DESCRIPTION:Our friends from Université de Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne retur
n for a third installment of their symposium Arts & Pragmatism: From Or
dinary Aesthetics to Post Creation.
\nThis day-long symposium w
ill be chaired by Yann Toma and Sandra Laugier. From the organizers:
\n
We have noticed it during the two previous symposia of our program:
the pragmatist philosophy and in particular Dewey defends the idea that ae
sthetics must not only be considered as the search for truths about art an
d its creations but also as what concerns the experience of the persons wi
th an artwork (a sensitive and active experience). The reception would thu
s be the dynamic experience of an incarnated observer\, acting\, feeling i
n his senses and his affects what is the work and what it makes him feel.<
br />\n
\nThe political stake of the pragmatist aesthetics is
to make sure that the strong aesthetic experiences remain open and access
ible to the largest public and become even a «matter of ordinary conversat
ion». It is then a matter of thinking about shared experience as a transmi
ssion of values\, an important phenomenon for the moral\, political\, “edu
cational” reflection of adults» (Cavell 1979\, 1981\, Shusterman\, Laugier
2019\, 2023\, Gerrits 2020). Thus\, this question of pragmatism addresses
societal issues that concern all audiences\, not just from a broadcast/tr
ansmission perspective. By focusing on experience and agency\, this way of
approaching pragmatism involves the cultural audience in a broad way to t
he point where it engages mediums such as television and in general digita
l cultures.
\nThe concept of Post-Creation\, insofar as it pl
ays a form of exteriority to an original Creation\, has all its place in a
world where the strong aesthetic experiences remain open and accessible t
o a wider public. It is a question of placing the creation beyond what is
biased\, in the heart of a form of Third State of the artistic act in char
ge of a heuristic and critical potential\, towards a form extracted from t
he zone of influence of the world of the art as such. The idea of Post-Cre
ation tends towards the universal that would be the fact of conceiving the
creation beyond any not institutionalized academism. We will see how a po
ssible emulation between the ordinary aesthetic and the shared experience
of the Post-Creation is articulated and played\, where the experience of t
he creation produces knowledge and transforms what is out of the specific
field of perception of the art in so many new acting and reflexive spaces.
In that\, the influence of the artistic creation on whole sections of the
society\, domains of perception until now inaccessible\, becomes a stake
of opening which results from the transformation of a form of ordinary aes
thetics in a Post-Creation freed from the aesthetic channels of the contem
porary art.

DESCRIPTION:Richard J. Bernstein first encountered John Dewey’s pragmati
st naturalism as a graduate student at Yale University\, where “Dewey’s n
aturalistic vision of the relation of experience and nature—how human bein
gs as natural creatures are related to the rest of nature—spoke deeply to
me.” This early enthusiasm for Dewey’s naturalistic vision never left him.
During the final years of his long life\, Bernstein finished two books th
at return to issues of pragmatist naturalism.
\n· His Prag
matic Naturalism: John Dewey’s Living Legacy (2020)\, traces differin
g versions of Deweyan naturalism in the works of contemporary philosophers
\, including Robert Brandom\, John McDowell\, Richard Rorty\, Wilfrid Sell
ars\, Peter Godfrey-Smith\, Philip Kitcher\, Bjorn Ramberg\, David Macarth
ur\, Steven Levine\, Mark Johnson\, Robert Sinclair\, Huw Price\, and Jose
ph Rouse.
\n· In his final book\, The Vicissitudes of Natu
re (2022)\, Bernstein clarifies his own pragmatist naturalis
m in relation to the thinking of earlier modern philosophers: Spinoza\, Hu
me\, Kant\, Hegel\, Marx\, Nietzsche\, and Freud.
\nThis conference
will critically assess and expand the legacy of Bernstein’s final pragmati
c naturalism as expressed in these two books. Accepted papers will be coll
ected for publication.
\nThe New York Pragmatist Forum
\nPaper topics may include:
\n● Ber
nstein’s discussion of Dewey’s thinking in relation to contemporary philos
ophers’ formulations of naturalism in Pragmatic Naturalism: John Dewey
’s Living Legacy.
\n● Bernstein’s interpretation of an ear
lier thinker’s understanding of naturalism or nature in The Vicissitud
es of Nature (Spinoza\, Hume\, Kant\, Hegel\, Marx\, Nietzsche\, or F
reud).
\n● A larger theme or problem that brings one of these B
ernstein’s texts into conversation with philosophical naturalism\, either
particular expressions or conceptual issues.
\n● The consequenc
es of one or both of these texts for questions of naturalism in relation t
o wider social and political questions\, e.g.\, democracy\, praxis\, criti
que.

DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: The Shenzi Fragments\, numbering a mere
3\,000 or so characters in length\, is all that remains of a work attribut
ed to Shen Dao (ca. 350-275 BCE). While perhaps best known for his appeara
nce in the Han Feizi as an advocate for positional power (勢 shi)\, he also
makes an appearance in the Xunzi as one who is blinded by his focus on 法
fa (models\, standards\, laws). We will examine the fragments that discus
s fa in an attempt to come to a deeper understanding of the role that thes
e fragments see for the fa\, how they are to be determined\, and why Shen
Dao took them to be central to a strong\, stable\, and flourishing state.
The fragments\, in classical Chinese with English translations (Harris 201
6)\, are included here as a PDF attachment.

DESCRIPTION:THE COLUMBIA SOCI

\n
\n<
b>Presents: Li Zehou on the ‘Deep Str
uctures of Confucianism’
\nLead Presenter: Andrew Lambert (College of Staten Island\
, CUNY)
\nDiscussa
nts: Robert A. Carleo III (East China Normal University)\, Emma Bucht
el (Hong Kong Education University)
\nABSTRACT: Contemporary Chinese intellectual Li Zeh
ou’s cross-cultural methodology blends traditional Confucian thought with
thinkers such as Kant and Marx. This seminar addresses the question of cul
ture and its role in Li’s thought. Li has made several claims about how a
settled cultural tradition influences the subjects within it. One such cla
im concerns the existence of ‘deep structures’ of Confucianism\, as outlin
ed in this preparatory reading
. The idea is that culture\, history\, and social practice (col
lectively\, a tradition) shape human psychology (including the formation o
f concepts\, emotions\, and values) in ways not always apparent to the sub
ject. Within the Chinese tradition\, Confucianism constitutes such a deep
structure\, and its effects cannot be captured by textual studies alone\,
nor studies of material culture. Rather\, the deep structure is articulate
d in terms of an emergent shared subjectivity. Such traditions can evolve
and ultimately dissolve\; nevertheless\, their effects are deep-rooted. Th
is seminar meeting will aim to identify the parameters of Li’s ambitious t
heoretical framework and its plausibility\, and to explore connections wit
h current work in related fields\, such as cultural and empirical psycholo
gy.

DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that the first workshop of the se
mester will take place in person on Friday\, September 23rd
from *4-6pm* (please note the change in the usual time). 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.
\n

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by Eric-John Russell (Unive
rsität Potsdam)\, who will present chapters from his recently published bo
ok\, Why Everything is as it Seems: Hegel and Debord. 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.

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:Conceptual misalignment is a pervasive phenomenon in the stu
dies of Non-Western philosophy and the History of Philosophy (NW&HP). Howe
ver\, conceptual misalignment is often undetected\, unsuspected\, or seen
as a hurdle that NW&HP materials need to overcome to contribute to contemp
orary discussions. Specifically\, conceptual misalignment refers to the fo
llowing: In the process of crystalizing NW&HP materials\, a linguistic coo
rdination of concepts is formed between the speaker\, i.e.\, NW&HP\, and i
ts context of contemporary anglophone philosophy. However\, in philosophic
ally meaningful ways\, the original NW&HP concept and its anglophone count
erpart misalign. This misalignment is particularly intricate and hard to d
etect when it comes to emotion concepts\, as they are thought to involve p
henomenal and/or intentional features. Through investigating the concept o
f emotion in Chinese philosophy\, I propose a refocusing on conceptual mis
alignment as a method of cross-cultural comparative and history of philoso
phy. Moreover\, I argue that conceptual misalignment is an important resou
rce for contemporary conceptual engineering and amelioration projects.

DESCRIPTION:\n
What is an appropriate response to humiliating treatm
ents such as insults? This question is not only relevant to today’s discou
rse but has also piqued the curiosity of thinkers in classical Chinese phi
losophy. The Warring States period debate regarding whether one’s inner se
nse of shame can shield one from insulting situations and from experiencin
g shame is frequently presented as a one-sided narrative that focuses on t
he Confucian texts. Meanwhile\, the views of their rival thinkers\, such a
s the Daoist\, legalist\, or much-neglected Songzi (3rd century BCE)\, are
rarely the focus of attention. This paper brings Songzi\, a key player in
the debate of emotions as responses to external triggers\, into the pictu
re and restores the historical intellectual discourse over the topic of wh
at constitutes an appropriate response to humiliating situations such as i
nsults. More importantly\, I point out the philosophical significance of t
his debate\, namely how Songzi prompts Xunzi to respond to an ambiguity wi
thin the Confucian doctrine: The early Confucians appear to think that an
individual’s internal virtues can isolate and shield one from hostile exte
rnal stimuli while also maintaining that the external environment impacts
one’s moral cultivation and moral life in significant ways. Xunzi’s strate
gic move\, I argue\, is to give credit to both an inner sense of shame and
the function of external stimuli in inducing negative emotions\, thus mak
ing an important philosophical concession compared to Confucius and Menciu
s.

DESCRIPTION:\n\n
\n
Anja Jauernig’s recently published The World Acc
ording to Kant (Oxford\, 2021) defends an interpretation of Kant’s cr
itical idealism as an ontological position\, according to which Kant can b
e considered a genuine idealist about empirical objects\, empirical minds\
, and space time. 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.

DESCRIPTION:
Serving as a response to Aimé Césaire’s call for a universal
filled with particularity from his infamous resignation from the French C
ommunist Party in 1956\, I focus on the role of culture for a project of u
niversal emancipation. To do so\, I follow Sylvia Wynter’s statement that
the Négritude movement is an example of a universal and cultural project.
Recalling Césaire’s words in “Return to My Native Land\,” culture that ser
ves universal emancipation must be “free of the desire to tame but familia
r with the play of the world.” To this end\, I develop a conception of cul
ture that is both local and universal\, that centers on the importance of
what it means to be human\, as life\, as being\, and as experience by read
ing culture as necessarily local\, collective\, disenchanted\, and related
to play.

DESCRIPTION:
In the final part of The Human Condition (1958) Han
nah Arendt turns to the danger of ‘world- alienation’. Based on a variety
of discoveries and evolutions that are constitutive of modernity (globaliz
ation\, Protestantism\, the invention of the telescope)\, modern man has a
dopted an Archimedean\, external position vis-à-vis the world. According
to Arendt\, this ‘view from without’ has gradually jeopardized the experie
nce of a shared world\, endangering the foundation of all meaning-giving a
ctivities.
\n
My talk can be considered as a reply to Arendt’s pessim
istic account of modern ‘world-alienation’. It builds on the idea that som
e of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century (Ernst Jünger
\, Georg Lukács\, Ernst Bloch\, Theodor Adorno\, Walter Benjamin\, Aby Wa
rburg\, Sigmund Freud) did not equate the loss of a shared world with the
loss of meaning. Rather\, the conceptual framework of a substantial part o
f early twentieth century German philosophy centers on the exploration of
a productive opposition\, negation or fragmentation of the world. From the
perspective of these thinkers\, the world’s ‘durability’ (Arendt) is not
simply a source of shared meaning since it can be experienced as the mark
of its indifference to change and renewal.
