This conference aims to initiate dialogues between philosoph y and the arts. Philosophers and thinkers/ scholars across disciplines of humanities and social sciences will meet with artists and scholars from a wide variety of visual and visual artistic disciplines\, including paintin g\, photography\, and literature\, as well as travel\, dance\, and fashion . Rather than taking art as a mere object of philosophical study\, this co nference will explore the manifold confluences and intersections of philos ophy and art\, exploring how each can become the object of the other and h ow the boundary between the philosophical and the artistic can be sharpene d or blurred. The motive is specifically to explore the “visual” and “move ment” element in art of\, and in everyday life and theorize it – both phil osophically and critically.

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.

The finished book can be abstracted as follows.
\nBeginning with Tolstoy’s first extant records of his written œuvre\, th e anthology assembles seventy-seven unabridged texts that cover more than seven decades of his life\, from 1835 to 1910. It constitutes the most co mplete single-volume edition to date of the rich variety of Tolstoy’s phil osophical output: apothegmatic sayings\, visions\, intimate sketchbook and day notes\, book reviews\, open letters\, dialogues\, pedagogic talks\, p ublic lectures\, programs and rules for personal behavior\, fictions\, and reminiscences.
\n\n
It was the insolvable\, the “scandalous\ ,” problems of philosophy that never gave Tolstoy any rest: freedom of the will\, religious tolerance\, gender inequality\, the tonal shape of music \, the value of healthy life habits\, the responsibilities of teaching\, f orms of social protest\, cognitive development\, science in society\, the relation between body and mind\, charity and labor\, human dignity and pub lic service\, sexual psychology\, national war doctrines\, suicide\, indiv idual sacrifice\, the purposes of making art. And always: What are the so urces of violence? Why should we engage in politics? Why do we need govern ments? How can one practice non-violence? What is the meaning of our irrep ressible desire to seek and find meaning? Why can’t we live without loving ? The typeset proofs of his final insights were brought to Tolstoy for app roval when he was already on his deathbed. No matter their brevity or the occasion on which they were written\, these works exemplify Tolstoy as an artistically inventive and intellectually absorbing thinker.
\n\n
Most of the newly translated and thoroughly annotated texts have neve r been available in English. Among the notable archival restorations is t he text titled “Tolstoy on Venezuela\,” an authentic first publication in English of “Patriotism\, or Peace?” (1896) that had been personal ly checked by Tolstoy and deemed lost. In the inaugural piece\, a seven-ye ar-old Tolstoy describes violent but natural animal life in contrast with the lazy life of a peaceful barnyard in the countryside. The last entry in the anthology written by an eighty-year-old Tolstoy for his grandchildren provides a lesson on vegetarianism and non-violence that a hungry wolf te aches a hungry boy during their conversation when both are on their way to lunch.
\n\n
The anthology was being copyedited when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24\, 2022. After having provided the n ecessary grounding for Tolstoy’s place within the Russian philosophical tr adition and explaining his overall reception and standing\, the speaker wi ll comment on the implications of this unfolding historic tragedy for the current moment and the future\, in order to then open the floor for genera l discussion.
