Recently\, in the United States and abroad\, historic even ts rendered ever more precarious the lives and well-being of people margin alized by their sex\, gender\, race\, and class\, often in complexly inter secting and regionally specific ways. The rise of right-wing populism tran snationally and attacks on reproductive rights\, for example\, exacerbate the challenges feminists confront. At the same time\, as external conditio ns shift\, feminism’s own faultlines continue to deepen. Feminism’s rising trans-exclusionary contingent\, certain feminists’ hesitancy to reckon wi th complicity in racial and colonial violence\, and the ongoing cooptation of feminism by neoliberalism signal serious internal fractures.
\nA s feminism faces external and internal pressures\, how can philosophy help us understand this moment of potential crisis and what\, if anything\, ca n philosophy do to address it? To devise answers to these urgent questions \, we welcome contributions that focus on:
\n1. The relation bet ween feminism and philosophy\, including how feminism should intervene in philosophical debates\, and how philosophy should intervene in feminist de bates\;
\n2. Questions concerning the nature and practice of gen der\, sex\, sexuality\, race\, class\, and disability that draw on feminis t literatures or methodologies\;
\n3. Perspectives that integrat e different feminist traditions to build intersectional and transnational feminist coalitions\;
\n4. Analyses of discourses on sex\, gende r\, sexuality\, race\, class\, and disability in media\, law\, and the sci ences\;
\n5. Translating feminist views on sex\, gender\, sexual ity\, race\, class\, and disability into public policy and social advocacy .
\nWe welcome contributions from scholars working in philosophy and who draw on a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Scholars of all ident ities\, especially those from groups underrepresented and/or marginalized in academia\, are encouraged to submit contributions.
\nPlease send anonymized abstracts of up to 500 words to cunygc.philosophy.conference@gmail .com\, along with any questions you may have. The deadline for submiss ions is September 7th.

\nIn t he last fifteen years\, the discussion of class has shifted with the rise of the Tea Party and then Trumpism in the United States. Whereas the notio n of class used to be a left-wing category championed by socialists\, Marx ists\, and anarchists\, the critique of class division has now shifted to right-wing denunciations of the managerial class. This shift toward a popu list politics targeting the new class has long been a topic of discussion in Telos\, starting with the classic 1975 essay by Alvin Gouldner “Prologue to a Theory of Revolutionary Intel lectuals” (in Telos 26) and continuing through Paul Piccone’s work in the early 1990s in essays such as “ The Crisis of Liberalism and the Emergence of Federal Populism” (in < em>Telos 89) and “Postmodern Populism ” (in Telos 103). A search of the Telos archive wi ll uncover literally hundreds of essays that address various aspects of th is issue. The recent popularizing of the critique of the new class has led to a conflict between the liberal pursuit of redistributive policies and the expansion of the welfare state\, on the one hand\, and the populist at tempt to disempower governmental managerial elites and dismantle the welfa re state\, on the other hand. How is the underlying notion of class being defined by the different parties to this debate? What are the political po ssibilities\, both on the left and on the right\, that can emerge from the conflict? Is this conflict leading to a new kind of civil war\, or can we envision new solutions?
\nIn addition to engaging with these questions\, our event will feature Telos editors\, who will discuss the past and current trajectories of Telos< /em> as well as Telos 200\, devoted to the place of truth at the university.
\nTelos has alway s had a conflicted relationship with universities. On the one hand\, unive rsity academics have constituted the primary audience and contributors to Telos. On the other hand\, Telos has always maintained a distance from university structures\, precisely because of the tie betwee n universities and the managerial class\, and previous special issues in < a href='http://www.telospress.com/store/Telos-81-Fall-1989-p17898236' targ et='_blank' rel='noopener'>Telos 81 and Telos 111 have attempted to address this problem. p>\n
Today\, the situation of universities has become more dire than ever. Trapped between the pressure to provide j ob training on the one hand and political advocacy on the other hand\, the idea of a search for truth sounds hopelessly naive as a description of th e task of colleges and universities today. Matching the shift of our socie ty toward technocratic and managerial solutions to problems\, the natural and social sciences have become recognized authorities based on their clai m to being scientific. Yet the authority of “science” is misleading in the sense that science never has straightforward answers but relies on a meth od of constant questioning. Science itself cannot be counted on to make po licy decisions but can only provide relevant information for decision make rs. Recent pieces in TelosScope by Russell Berman and Mathieu Slama address this issue by looking at the way pandemic policies were dominated by an ideology of “following the science” that amounted to an abdication of democratic decision-making.
\nMeanwhile\, university discussion and debate about decision-making\, traditionally the place of the humanities a nd social sciences\, have been suppressed in favor of a focus on political engagement. The range of perspectives available for discussion has been r educed\, to the exclusion of those views that might challenge the technocr atic bias and the reduction of politics to identity politics that have bec ome dominant at universities.
\nThis n arrowing of perspectives has also undermined the research project of the u niversity. The exclusion of relevant perspectives in university debates ha s degraded the peer review process in the social sciences and the humaniti es\, maintaining an orthodoxy that favors the reinforcement of previously held views rather than the challenging of such views. Such research can th en be cited as the “scientific” basis for a set of policy prescriptions th at have been agreed upon in advance. Where Max Weber once lamented the tra nsformation of the lecture hall into a pulpit\, it is difficult today for academics to avoid the pressure to either conform to a particular politica l perspective or\, in rejecting such politicization\, to be forced into an “obstructionist” camp.
\nIn the midst of these developments\, what is the status of the idea of truth? Will truth necessarily remain subordin ate to politics? How might the search for truth remain a focus of colleges and universities?
\nIn addressing these questions\, the 200th issue of Telos features contributions by Joseph W. Bendersky\, Russell Berman\, Valerie J. D’Erman\, J. E. Elliott\, Wayne Hudson\, Michael Hüth er\, Mark G. E. Kelly\, Tim Luke\, Richard T. Marcy\, Greg Melleuish\, Dav id Pan\, Susanna Rizzo\, and David Westbrook.

In the first place\, there is a conventional ground war between Russia and Ukraine\, in which the identity and will of the two peoples is at stake. Yet Russia has used weapons supplied by Iran\ , and Ukraine depends on NATO for its own supplies\, indicating that this war depends on the maintenance and expansion of alliances. The stability o f these alliances in turn depends on a combination of Realpolitik and shared values as the glue that holds them together. This logic of all iances motivates the energy war that Russia is waging with Europe\, reveal ing that\, unbeknownst to Europe\, Russian energy policy over the last dec ade was an early form of the war. Similarly\, the threat of nuclear war al so tests the resolve of NATO\, forcing it to consider the values at stake in the conflict. Is the war about Ukraine’s sovereignty or the principle o f nation-state sovereignty itself? Is it about human rights for Ukrainians or the entire human rights project? For Russia\, is it about self-defense or a pan-Slavic identity? Is it about the protection of Russian minoritie s in Ukraine or the threat of Western secularization?
\nThe material form of the war—economic\, conventional\, n uclear—will depend on the way in which the participants on all sides and i n all parts of the world come to an understanding about these questions co ncerning the moral and spiritual stakes in the war. If it is just a matter of giving up Ukraine\, then the economic costs for Europe may not be wort h the fight\, and Russia’s victory in the energy war could lead to a gener al NATO capitulation. But if the freedom and security of central and weste rn Europe are also at stake\, then even a severe economic recession would be a small price to pay for the reestablishment of a NATO-dominated securi ty order. Is freedom worth the risk of annihilation? Is peace worth the in dignities and repression of authoritarianism? As the most serious global c onflict since World War II\, the war in Ukraine risks going beyond the bou nds of all other forms of war before it. What are the resources that are n ecessary for meeting its challenges? How can the shifting forms of the war be contained and channeled toward a future lasting peace?
\nThese types of questions are not specific to the wa r in Ukraine but arise in any situation of war. Every war forces us to rec onsider the character of war and the forms that it can take. In the first place\, the insight that leads to a war is one about the nature of a confl ict. War only begins once the parties determine that there is an otherwise irresolvable conflict about the basis of order. The course of a war also results in a practical insight into the form of a postwar order. Peace and stability cannot arrive until all come to an agreement about the new unde rstanding of order. This intertwining of practical and theoretical gains m eans that the time of war is also a time of shifting manifestations of the forms by which war is fought\, as well as the forms of order to be establ ished by the outcome of the war. The course of a war will be decided by ou r understanding of the kind of world we want to live in\, the risks we are willing to take to establish such a world\, and our belief in its practic al possibility. A war will necessarily change in form depending upon where we are in the movement from the conflict of competing ideas to the victor y of a particular conception of order. Since the result of the conflict wo uld be an establishment of sovereignty based on some understanding of orde r\, the conflict is not just a material one but also a theoretical and spi ritual one about the metaphysical basis of order. In the process of war\, insight leads to conflict\, and conflict leads to insight.
\nAt the 2023 Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference on forms of war\, we will consider different ways of understanding the re lationship between conflict and insight in war as well as examples of how the conceptualization of conflict affects the outbreak\, progress\, and ou tcome of wars. On the one hand\, we will consider the way in which the exp erience of war\, both on the battlefield and on the home front\, affects t he outcome of the war. On the other hand\, we will look at how this import ance of the experience of war in turn affects the strategy of war. Such st rategizing begins already at the nascent stages of conflict\, before any a ctual fighting begins\, but in which the possibility of conflict can alrea dy lead to concessions by one side or the other that lead to a transformat ion of the basis of order. Similarly\, fears and hopes for the future also determine the course of a war\, helping the participants to end a war by offering them a mutually acceptable vision of the terms of peace.

\nThis year’s topic is Textures of Change: Social Imaginaries\, Narratives\, and the Poss ibility of Politics.
\nKeynote Speakers:
\nMaría Pía Lara (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana)
\nFanny Söderbäck (Södertörn University)
\nEva Von R edecker (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
\nIt has become co mmon for political theorists and philosophers to insist on the necessity o f new imaginaries and narratives. Crises of authority\, financial meltdown s\, and environmental disasters compel us to look for alternative framewor ks and practices. While the urgency of this claim is undeniable\, the conc eptual ground for the creation of new imaginaries and narratives is still unclear. How do we define imaginaries and narratives in relation to our po litical and social life? How can they become normative and generate concep tual and practical shifts? And who is in a position to shape\, direct\, an d take ownership of these emergent conceptions?
\nThis conference fo cuses on the current debate on political imaginaries and narratives to inv estigate some of these questions. As a starting point\, we propose to chal lenge standard Marxist or epistemological approaches to the topic that eit her interpret imaginaries and narratives as ideological projections (a pro duct of false consciousness) or merely as individual\, cognitive faculties . Rather\, we suggest thinking about imaginaries and narratives as larger sensuous and embodied practices that re-orient material structures of domi nation and allow for a reflective rearticulation of collective demands. In particular\, we set out to clarify: the meaning of “imaginaries” and/or “ narratives” as forms of sense-making\; their ability to shift existing dis courses and power relations\; the way in which they foster different ways of feeling\, seeing\, acting-in\, and experiencing the world in a time of crisis\; the way in which they are embedded in artistic and literary pract ices\; and the way in which they address—or fail to address—marginalized s ubjects.
\nWe invite papers that focus on the concepts of “social im aginary” and “narrative\,” as well as on the connection between the two\, and on their political and ethical implications. It is our conviction that a critical understanding of these concepts can only emerge from attending to how they are practically embodied and situated in our practices. In th is spirit\, we welcome\, in addition to papers aimed at conceptual clarifi cation\, papers that provide specific accounts of alternative forms of pra xis\, including (but not limited to) leftist\, feminist\, anti-racist\, de colonial\, abolitionist\, indigenous\, environmentalist\, and utopian imag inaries and narratives.
\nWe are accepting submissions of up to
Please contact socialimaginarynarrative@gmail.com with any queries or subm issions.
\nThe deadline is January 3rd\, 2023
\nHow does the brain cope with Complexity? How do we make deci sions when confronted with practically infinite streams of information?
\nThe conference showcases cutting edge research on these questions in Neuroscience and Psychology (neural mechanisms of cognitive control\, exp loration\, decision-making\, information demand\, memory and creativity)\, Computer Science (artificial intelligence of curiosity and intrinsic moti vation) and Economics (decision making and information demand). Alongside formal presentations\, the conference will encourage ample interactions am ong faculty\, students and postdocs through informal discussions and poste r presentations.

\nThe committee for the Graduate Student Conferenc e on Philosophy of Education (GSCOPE) invites abstracts for papers on the topic of Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Controversy. The theme of the conference & post-conference pedagogy workshop reflects the difficulty in creating and maintaining respectful discourse in higher-education classroo ms\, especially surrounding controversial empirical\, moral\, and politica l issues. Some argue that this is an equity issue. Undergraduate students who come from rural and/or underprivileged areas are more likely to experi ence alienation on campus\, sometimes because they have never been exposed to certain “politically correct” language or ideas\, and sometimes simply because they lack the financial and social capital that their peers have. It seems crucial (and follows from democratic and civic values) to foster safe learning environments for all students\, especially those students w ho are more likely to feel alienated on college campuses and in elite spac es. At the same time\, some argue that the aim of higher education is pure ly epistemological\, and not civic or democratic. Proponents of this view might hold that free speech and academic freedom must be properly protecte d for higher education to perform its proper social function: education. W hat is the appropriate relationship between higher education\, knowledge-p roduction\, teaching\, free speech\, and democracy? How can higher educati on instructors and professors be effective teachers in the light of these relationships?
\nPapers must pertain to higher educationbut maybe ab out anything from interpersonal classroom dynamicstoinstitutional policies to campus controversy. We are particularly interested in papers that expl ore the following topics:
\nWe especially welcome contributions that:
\nAbstracts should:
\n– Outline the paper’s principal
argument(s).
\n– Give a good sense of the paper’s philosophical and/o

\n– Be anonymized.
Pro posal Guidelines:
\nPlease submit abstracts of up to 500 words by mi dnight EST on Monday\, July 31\, 2023.

\nPost-Conference Pedagogy Workshop
\nThe theme of our conference Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Contro versy is relevant to graduate student educators\, who are routinely u nder-trained and under-equipped to engage with real-life problems they may encounter in the classroom. The lack of training for higher education tea chers is a growing iue in philosophy of education.
\nThis workshop a ttends to this issue by facilitating a space for graduate student educator s to reflect on how to foster good teaching environments for controversial issues\, and be good interlocutors with each other on controversial issue s. The workshop will also touch on promoting equity in classrooms. We will provide workshop participants with a certificate of completion.

In many cases\, those very struct ures of domination distort our conceptions of them through mechanisms such as motivated reasoning\, implicit bias\, affected ignorance\, false consc iousness\, and belief polarization. These various epistemic distortions\, in turn\, cause social conflict\, notably by promoting political polarizat ion. Those worried by social conflict have spent a great deal of energy de crying the increasingly polarized contexts in which we live. However\, epi stemic distortions in our sociopolitical beliefs also misrepresent\, maint ain systems of domination and prevent human needs from being met.
\nThis workshop aims to go beyond pronouncements such as ‘we are polarized’ or that ‘partisanship is on the rise\,’ and begin to think through epistem ic distortions at the individual and intersubjective levels\, the role of criticism and critique in facilitating belief and social change\, and the idea of reconciliation\, by asking questions such as:

Yet our own democratic political orders across the West c onsistently fail to deliver the desiderata they promise to provide. Does t his failure arise in part from the theoretical insufficiency of convention al diagnoses of democracy’s challenges and ills? As the primaries for the 2024 U.S. presidential election open\, we invite participants to consider critically the status of democracy with an eye toward the concerns that ha ve defined Telos over its 55-year history.
\nThe main advantage of d emocracy over other political forms is that\, by allowing broader particip ation in decision-making\, it prevents domination of the many by the few. In theory\, it also fosters decision-making that is comparatively effectiv e and meaningful by allowing views and information from the many to be com municated efficiently to political leaders\, while also holding the latter to account for their actions. At the same time\, a major difficulty of de mocracy is that the rule by the many requires some procedure for translati ng a multitude of opinions into unified decisions and action. In addition\ , precisely by exercising its majority will\, the many can trammel the int egrity of the individual—the key threat that liberalism seeks to hold at b ay.
\nThese advantages—and\, especially\, these challenges—have prod uced two competing visions of democracy in the contemporary West. Their di vision reflects differences about the politics of representation and decis ion-making. On one hand\, liberals view democracy as the following of appr opriate procedures for channeling the opinions of the multitude through th e election of representatives. On the other hand\, populists might disrega rd such procedural restrictions to arrive at outcomes that are acclaimed b y the people directly.
\nWhile both sides nod to the importance of t he popular will\, both are in fact willing to denigrate it. The liberal ca mp reacts in horror when democratic elections result in the election of po pulists\, who are said to lack proper governing expertise\, as in the 2016 victory of Donald Trump. The populist camp charges conspiracy when electo ral results fail to reflect their own conception of the people’s will\, as in Trump’s reaction to his 2020 ouster. Depending on which camp is descri bing the times\, the false mediator of popular will is either the demagogu e or the bureaucrat—Telos has long opposed both.
\nDifferent narrati ves\, in turn\, have taken hold about democracy’s present challenges. From the point of view of the liberal proceduralist critique of demagogues\, t he means of moving from a multiplicity of opinions to a unified decision i nevitably involves discourse within a public sphere. This discourse depend s on a common understanding of historical facts\, as well as a public sphe re that allows different perspectives to face each other in debate. In our contemporary world\, however\, the breakdown of previous limits to access ing the public sphere has led to an inability to arrive at a consensus on the difference between fact and fiction\, as well as an increasing tendenc y of citizens to exist within a social media echo chamber of their own vie ws\, undermining the common ground that a public sphere presupposes.
\nAt the same time\, public debate necessarily implicates values and iden tities that have an ultimately mythic basis that cannot be rationally dete rmined. People’s opinions\, moreover\, are invariably shaped by leaders as much as the people shape what leaders ought to do. Experts lament how thi s representational dynamic undermines the procedures that govern and chann el the representation of the popular will. Yet the narrative aspect of rep resentation is an ineradicable element of the way in which the popular wil l coalesces. The process of narrativized representation will never be an e ntirely rational one\, and the prominence of media personalities such as R eagan\, Trump\, and Zelensky as politicians underlines the futility of att empting to rid the public sphere of drama and spectacle.
\nFor the p opulist\, by contrast\, the primary threat to democracy lies in bureaucrac y. In his 2016 end run around the political establishment\, Trump’s electo ral success was driven by a broader critique of the administrative state’s undermining of democratic process. The rise of the managerial bureaucrati c state that was set in motion by the development of the welfare state in the twentieth century has created a class divide between managers and mana ged that has shifted decision-making power over the conditions of everyday life away from individuals and toward government and corporate bureaucrac ies. Because more and more of our economic and social welfare is under the direct influence of the state\, the resultant bloated administrative stat e has now become prey to a frenzy of lobbyists\, who further distance the people from political decision-making. The protections of minority rights that constitute the liberal aspect of today’s democracies have turned comm unities into special interests that lobby administrators to pass on privil eges to favored groups. The result has been a growing restriction of freed om of expression in the public sphere and an eroding of a unifying basis f or constructing a political order now dominated by the collusion of bureau cracy with corporations.
\nWhile the liberal critique of demagoguery resorts to more government controls that exacerbate the expansion of bure aucracy\, the populist critique of bureaucracy has attempted to dismantle government without considering how to establish mechanisms that would take over the functions that bureaucracies have coopted. Focusing on oppositio n to government\, the populist perspective often lacks any sense of altern ative institutional structures that could remedy the administration and co mmodification of everyday life.
\nBoth sides have contributed to a p olarization of views that threatens the underlying consensus necessary for democratic politics. The political gridlock that has ensued from their di verging diagnoses has meant that our political orders consistently fail to deliver peace\, prosperity\, and accountable government. Moreover\, regar dless of the rhetoric or credentials of those in power\, democracy today s eems always to leave us with broadly the same basic policies\, despite som e of them being deeply unpopular.
\nWe invite those who are interest ed in presenting at the 2024 Telos Conference to consider critically the s tatus of democracy today by addressing one or more of the following questi ons:
\nDemocratic Values
\nDemocracy and the Administrative State
\nDemocracy and the Public Sphere

A number of authors have pointed out that the standard argum ents for perception’s having nonconceptual content tell us nothing about t he content of a state per se\, but only instead about the sorts of capacit ies a subject must have in order to be in some state (i.e.\, whether the s ubject need or need not possess the specifying concepts in order to be in some state). 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.

\nby Michele M Moody-Adams
From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today\, pr ogressive social movements have been at the forefront of social change. Ye t it is seldom recognized that such movements have not only engaged in pol itical action but also posed crucial philosophical questions about the mea ning of justice and about how the demands of justice can be met.
\nM ichele Moody-Adams argues that anyone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or both—must ask what can be learned from social m ovements. Drawing on a range of compelling examples\, she explores what th ey have shown about the nature of justice as well as what it takes to crea te space for justice in the world. Moody-Adams considers progressive socia l movements as wellsprings of moral inquiry and as agents of social change \, drawing out key philosophical and practical principles. Social justice demands humane regard for others\, combining compassionate concern and rob ust respect. Successful movements have drawn on the transformative power o f imagination\, strengthening the motivation to pursue justice and to crea te the political institutions and social policies that can sustain it by i nspiring political hope.
\nMaking Space for Justice contend s that the insights arising from social movements are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective practice—and should be tr ansformative for political thought as well as for political activism.

One cannot go on this journey without recognizing the role that our societal values pla y in marginalizing persons with disabilities. This journey is\, at its cor e\, a fight over who counts as a “productive” person\, what values determi ne the allocation of resources\, and how cultural attitudes toward vulnera bility affect both the caregiver and those who are cared for. Two models o f personhood are presented and the consequences of each are explored. How we treat the most vulnerable among us highlights who we are as a society.< /p>\n

Abstract:
\nIt 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.
\nThe 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.
\nThe 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.
\nIn 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.
\nAppealing 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.

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.

In 1931\, Max Horkheimer proposed a model of interdisciplina ry research that remains a benchmark for understanding how cultures functi on and might function better. He imagined an institute “in which philosoph ers\, sociologists\, economists\, historians\, and psychologists are broug ht together in permanent collaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institu te would not work with a single theory but would let data lead to new hypo theses (Horkheimer 1993\, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues r arely lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically gr ounded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Ho rkheimer’s and Adorno’s history of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialecti c of Enlightenment\, with current research on the development of early hum an cultures by Richard Wrangham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Jos eph Henrich and Cecilia Heyes. The comparison with recent research in anth ropology\, sociology\, philosophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of the deep conceptual commitments that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current app roaches jointly suggest that human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded \; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; t hat learning occurs in context through imitation\; and that customs and in stitutions develop contingently and by accident through processes of coope ration and collaboration. These new insights invite a radical re-thinking of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The resulting picture of environmentally embedded process of cultural evolutio n is a first step towards revitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of the early Frankfurt School\, and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\, and sustainable routes such critique can take in the 21st century.

In this sense\, ra ces are formed not simply as ideas\, or ideologies and policies\, as many social constructivists about race argue\, but as forms of life with associ ated patterns of subjectivity including\, as a wealth of social psychology has shown\, presumptive attitudes and behavioral dispositions (Jeffers 20 19\; Steele 2010\; Sullivan 2005). Because they are historical form ations\, racial identities are thoroughly social\, contextual\, variegated internally\, and dynamic. It is history that will alter them\, not merely policy changes.

The Colloquium in Legal\, Poli tical\, and Social Philosophy was founded by Ronald Dworkin and Thomas Nag el in 1987. It is the original model for all of NYU Law’s colloquia. The C olloquium is now convened by Liam Murphy\, Samuel Scheffler\, and Jeremy W aldron\, two of whom will host in any given year.
\nEach week on Thu rsday a legal theorist or moral or political philosopher presents a paper to the group\, which consists of students\, faculty from the Law School an d other departments of NYU\, and faculty from other universities. The choi ce of subject is left to the paper’s author\, within the general boundarie s of the Colloquium’s subjects\, and the discussions are therefore not con nected by any structured theme for the term as a whole\, though in past ye ars certain central topics were canvassed in several weeks’ discussion. Th e Colloquium aims\, not to pursue any particular subject\, but to explore new work in considerable depth and so allow students to develop their own skill in theoretical analysis.
\nEach week’s paper is posted at leas t a week in advance on this page\, and participants are expected to have r ead it.

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.

In this presentation\, I highlight the importance of the aesthesic o r the perceptual in Lugones’s view of resistance as developed before her t urn to decolonial feminism. In doing so\, I point to the manner in which t his account of resistance is dependent on a sense of ambiguity inspired by the work of Gloria Anzaldúa. Moreover\, I introduce a notion of aesthetic trespassing in connection to the perception of artworks that discloses th e intimacy between the perceiver and the perceived.
