Others have argued in response that the only reason for two s tates to require different conceptual capacities of the subject is precise ly because they have different sorts of contents\, and so there is no subs tantive difference between a ‘content’ view and a ‘state’ view. Here\, I p resent evidence for states that do\, in fact\, share the same content but differ in the required conceptual capacities: exogenous perceptual states\ , and endogenous\, voluntarily produced perceptual states. I argue that th is functional difference—voluntary versus involuntary production—constitut es the difference in concept-dependence. I then look to three possibilitie s for how this claim could affect our understanding of the relationship be tween cognition and perception.

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.

\nChiara Bottici (NSSR a nd Lang College)\, Judith Butler (UC Berkeley and NSSR) and Romy Opperman (NSSR a nd Lang College).
\nAbstract:
\nHow 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.

\nIn 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.
\nHobbes\, 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.
\nIt 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.
\nHobbes 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.
\nHis 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.
\nOne 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.

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.
