M
edical technologies have radically transformed the biological and social e
xperience of motherhood. Advances in genomic and reproductive care\, the c
irculation of novel kinship structures\, the entrenchment of existing glob
al networks of power and privilege\, and the politics of contested bodily
sites mark this emerging constellation.
\nTechnological advancements
have in particular impacted not just the understanding of conception\, bu
t the very process by which a human embryo is created\, implanted\, and ma
tured. Egg freezing\, embryo storage\, IVF\, and surrogacy afford women ne
w freedoms in choosing when and how to become mothers\, while also raising
troubling questions about the pressures of capitalism and the extension o
f worklife\, as well as the global inequalities present in the experience
of motherhood. In addition\, technologies have arisen allowing for unprece
dented control over not just who becomes a mother\, but what kind of embry
o is allowed to be implanted and to grow. Technologies such as CRISPR and
NIPT have re-introduced the question of eugenics\, radically shifting the
very epistemology of motherhood and what it means to be “expecting.” And c
ontemporary abortion debates draw on technology in order to make arguments
both for and against access\, with imaging technologies being instrumenta
lized in the building of a sympathetic case for the unborn\, and the very
notion of a “heartbeat bill” reliant on the misreading of technologies for
measuring fetal activity.
\nWhile these problems are urgent today\,
questions of conception and technology are by no means recent development
s. The 18th century saw a flourishing of philosophical and scientific theo
ries regarding the start of human life and its formation within the womb.
Such theories relied on modern technologies\, such as autopsy\, to atomize
and visualize the body. In the 19th and 20th centuries\, eugenic medical
science produced theories of reproductive difference between differing rac
ial and social groups\, leading to forced sterilization laws in both the U
S and in Germany. This long history of racializing the rhetoric of fertili
ty and motherhood continues to influence political debates on immigration
and demographic changes in the present.

\nHow does the
brain cope with Complexity? How do we make decisions when confronted with
practically infinite streams of information?
\nThe conference showca
ses cutting edge research on these questions in Neuroscience and Psycholog
y (neural mechanisms of cognitive control\, exploration\, decision-making\
, information demand\, memory and creativity)\, Computer Science (artifici
al intelligence of curiosity and intrinsic motivation) and Economics (deci
sion making and information demand). Alongside formal presentations\, the
conference will encourage ample interactions among faculty\, students and
postdocs through informal discussions and poster presentations.
\nSu
bmissions for poster presentations and travel awards are due February 15\,
2023. Please visit the call fo

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\nThe Internati
onal Conference on Brain Informatics (BI) series has established itself as
the world’s premier research conference on Brain Informatics\, which is a
n emerging interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research field that com
bines the efforts of Cognitive Science\, Neuroscience\, Machine Learning\,
Data Science\, Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, and Information and Communi
cation Technology (ICT) to explore the main problems that lie in the inter
play between human brain studies and informatics research.
\nThe 16t
h International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI’23) provides a premier
international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from
diverse fields for presentation of original research results\, as well as
exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical development experie
nces on brain Informatics research\, brain-inspired technologies and brain
/mental health applications.
\nThe key theme of the conference is “<
strong>Brain Science meets Artificial Intelligence“.
\nThe
BI’23 solicits high-quality original research and application papers (both
full paper and abstract submissions). Relevant topics include but are not
limited to:
\n1. 9-12 pages are strongly encouraged for the
regular papers including figures and references in Springer LNCS Proceedi

ringer-Nature LNAI Brain Informatics Book Series(https://link.springer.com
/conference/brain).
\nResearch abstracts are encouraged and will be accepted for prese
ntations in an oral presentation format and/or poster presentation format.
Each abstract submission should include the title of the paper and an abs
tract body within 500 words. The abstract will not be included in the conf
erence proceedings to be published by Springer.
\nHigh-quality BI conference papers will be nominated for a fas
t-track review and publication at the Brain Informatics Journal\, (https:/
/braininformatics.springeropen.com/) an international\, peer-reviewed\, in
terdisciplinary Open Access journal published by Springer Nature. Discount
or no open access article-processing fee will be charged for BI conferenc
e paper authors.
\nWor
kshop/special session organizers and BI conference session chairs may cons
ider and can be invited to prepare a book proposal of special topics for p
ossible book publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics & Health
Book Series (https://www.springer.com/series/15148)\, or a special issue
at the Brain Informatics Journal.
\n1. Accepted full papers will be selected to publish
in the Brain Informatics Journal upon revision.
\n2. Discount or no
article-processing fee will be charged for authors of Brain Informatics c
onference (https://braininformatics.springeropen.com/).
\n3. The org

oposal based on the topics of the workshop/special session for possible bo
ok publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics and Health book se
ries (http://www.springer.com/series/15148).
\nAfter the sti
mulating discussion at the Conference on Philosophy in the Pandemic Genera
tion\, participants decided then and there to begin something bigger: The
Society for Philosophers of the Pandemic Generation. This group is open to
any and all who feel that the pandemic influenced them during their forma
tive years of philosophical training.
\nThe First Conference of the
Society for Philosophers of the Pandemic Generation welcomes abstracts:
\nThat explicitly engage with the role of pandemics\, epidemics\, and
the unique challenges\, academic or otherwise\, of 2020-2023.
\nThat
are the result of a research project in philosophy conceived or written d
uring\, or affected by\, said challenges.
\nThat may be on a range o
f topics that need not be limited by content\, this includes topics on the
crossroads of philosophy and another discipline.
\nWe encourage PhD
students and early career researchers to submit an abstract\, particularl
y those whose philosophical research overlaps with the timing of the pande
mic. The objective of the conference is to provide a platform for graduate
and postgraduate philosophers to present their work to peers\, and to dis
cuss experiences and research from the past three years. Ideas do not have
to be finished or perfect\; it can be work in progress. We also encourage
undergraduate students of philosophy affected by the pandemic to submit r
esearch for a special showcase portion of the conference.
\nAbstracts should be suitable for a 30-minute presenta
tion.
\nAbstracts should be written in English.
\nAbstracts fo
r papers should be fully anonymised.
\nAbstracts should not exceed 5
00 words\, including references.
\nYour abstract will be anonymously
reviewed.
\nThere is no registration fee for this conference. Howev
er\, travel and stay costs cannot be reimbursed.
\nLiam D. Ryan
\nJoin us for a
series of keynote presentations as part of the 2023 Institute for Philoso
phy and New Humanities: Mind-Dependent Artifacts: Artifact-Dependent Minds
.
\nArtifacts are a primary object of study in the humanities. They
are products and\, thus\, manifestations of human thought\, action\, and s
elf-determination without which they cannot be understood. At the same tim
e\, human mindedness depends on artifacts\, and as well as other objects –
a dependence that is manifest in the form of artifacts. Human mindedness
and the reality of artifacts are therefore intertwined in complex ways.
\nOur Fall institute meeting 2023 Institute will consider ways in whic
h human mindedness and the reality of artifacts are dialectically intertwi
ned. Of special interest will be automatically or mechanically produced ar
tifacts\, and AI systems as artifacts that are neither inert causal models
of human thinking nor independently minded entities. The ontology of such
products thus needs to be calibrated in light of their contribution to th
e deep diversity of the mutual dependence of mindedness and artifacts. Som
e questions our seminar will address include: How do AI-research and AI-sy
stems structure and restructure the historical\, diverse articulation of h
uman mindedness? How does our understanding of these and other artifacts s
hape our self-conception at the most fundamental level?
\n
We will explore these issues in the ontology\, epistemology\, and humanist
ic study of AI and other artifacts together with distinguished keynote spe
akers:

DESCRIPTION:A philosopher refutes our culturally embedded acceptance of dea
th\, arguing instead for the desirability of anti-aging science and radica
l life extension.\nAuthor Ingemar Patrick Linden will talk with film direc
tor Miguel Drake McLaughlin about his new book.\nIngemar Patrick Linden’s
central claim is that death is evil. In this first comprehensive refutatio
n of the most common arguments in favor of human mortality\, he writes pas
sionately in favor of antiaging science and radical life extension. We may
be on the cusp of a new human condition where scientists seek to break th
rough the arbitrarily set age limit of human existence to address aging as
an illness that can be cured. The book\, however\, is not about the scien
ce and technology of life extension but whether we should want more life.
For Linden\, the answer is a loud and clear “yes.”\nThe acceptance of deat
h is deeply embedded in our culture. Linden examines the views of major ph
ilosophical voices of the past\, whom he calls “death’s ardent advocates.”
These include the Buddha\, Socrates\, Plato\, Lucretius\, and Montaigne.
All have taught what he calls “the Wise View\,” namely\, that we should no
t fear death. After setting out his case against death\, Linden systematic
ally examines each of the accepted arguments for death—that aging and deat
h are natural\, that death is harmless\, that life is overrated\, that liv
ing longer would be boring\, and that death saves us from overpopulation.
He concludes with a “dialogue concerning the badness of human mortality.”
Though Linden acknowledges that The Case Against Death is a negative polem
ic\, he also defends it as optimistic\, in that the badness of death is a
function of the goodness of life.

to irrationality? In this paper I argue against interpretations that eith

ophizing 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 moderation”\, characterized by a co

ongoing feature of philosophy and of the philosopher\, who is never fully
in possession of all his rational and cognitive processes but has to const

Socrates’ close association of madness and philosophy from
the Phaedrus’ Palinode has puzzled interpreters. How can philosophy be eq
uated to irrationality? In this paper I argue against interpretations that
either deny that the association of madness and philosophy ought to be ta
ken seriously or downplay this association by considering madness as akin
to the unreflective inspiration characterizing only the first stages of p
hilosophizing but subsequently overcome by the mature philosopher. I show
that the association of madness and philosophy is an integral part of Socr
ates’ polemics against what he calls “human moderation”\, characterized by
a cold calculation of costs and benefits. And\, moreover\, that madness i
s an ongoing feature of philosophy and of the philosopher\, who is never f

ell-recognized methodological problem in natural science\, where use of mo

on heuristics. General intellectual tendencies conducive to overfitting i
n philosophy will be discussed.\nLecture Three: Hyperintensionality [9/23]
\nThe ‘hyperintensional revolution’ proclaims that central metaphysical di
stinctions cannot be captured in modal terms since they are sensitive to d
ifferences between necessary equivalents. Such hyperintensionalism fits th
e profile of overfitting. It is motivated by case judgments that are expli

DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce a public talk featuring Elie During
as part of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s 60th death anniversary. O
n the face of it\, The Dialectic of Duration\, Gaston Bachelard’s 1936 ess
ay\, is a pungent—if often unfair—criticism of the Bergsonian doctrine of
time and creative evolution. The constructive side of this Anti-Bergson ha
s received less attention: it implies a genuine poetics of time based on t
he intuition of the sporadic and oscillatory nature of becoming. Bachelard
’s rhythmic theme is consistent with the idea of “surrationalism” introduc
ed that same year as a formal counterpart to the surrealist experiments ca
rried out on the fringes of conscious experience. Inspired by the explosiv
e potential of scientific revolutions already celebrated in Le Nouvel Espr
it Scientifique\, the surrationalist project can be interpreted as that of
a poetics of reason. André Breton believed it would “act simultaneously a
s a stimulant and restraining influence” (“Crisis of the Object”). Insight
s from the scientific investigation of time as well as poetic and musical
experience will help us see how this double action is in keeping with the
eruptive dynamics of imagination and reason\, as much as with Bachelard’s
ideal of “self-surveillance”.\nElie During is an Associate Professor of Ph
ilosophy at the University of Paris Ouest. His research focuses on the phi
losophical implications of relativity theory. His publications include an
introduction to Poincaré’s philosophy of science (La Science et l’Hypothès
e\, 2001)\, an essay on the nature of time (The Future does not Exist\, 20
14)\, two critical editions of Bergson\, a coedited volume on contemporary
metaphysics of realism (Choses en soi\, 2018\, English translation forthc
oming from Edinburgh University Press)\, and most recently a critical edit
ion of Bachelard’s Dialectique de la durée (2021).\nOrganized by\nJulie Be

DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that the first workshop of the semes

be up-to-date with vaccinations and boosters and set up a CLEAR Health Pa
ss account in advance. Directions for visitor access are below.\nThe event
has been organized by the Wittgenstein Workshop.\nAbstract: This paper dr
aws a contrast between Hegel and MacIntyre\, treating both as post-Kantian
perfectionists. The claim is that while Hegel treats the good life as som
ething found\, and to be implemented in the rational state\, MacIntyre tre
ats it as something to be sought. This difference\, it is argued\, is refl
ected in their respective accounts of the virtues: for Hegel\, the key vir
tue becomes rectitude\, whereas for MacIntyre a wider range of virtues is
required\, to make this quest for the good achievable. Using the character
s of Walt and Travis from Paris\, Texas to illustrate the argument\, it is
suggested that the MacIntyrean option is to be preferred.\nGUEST AND VISI
TOR ACCESS AND VACCINATION POLICY\nGuests and visitors must be up-to-date
with their COVID-19 vaccinations\, including a booster when eligible.\nBeg
inning Monday\, August 15\, The New School will use CLEAR’S Health Pass\,

DESCRIPTION:With responses from Mark Siderits (Illinois State University)\n
ABSTRACT: Buddhist philosophers often draw a distinction between two diffe
rent kinds of truth: conventional truth (saṃvṭi-satya) and ultimate truth
(paramārtha-satya). Abhidharma Buddhists philosophers typically understand
this distinction in terms of an ontological distinction between two diffe
rent kinds of entities: ultimately real entities (paramārtha-sat) and conv
entionally real entities (saṃvṛti-sat). Similar to contemporary philosophi
cal discussions about ordinary objects\, Buddhist philosophers debate the
ontological status of conventional entities and the semantics of discourse
concerning them. Mark Siderits (2015\, 2021\, 2022) has influentially arg
ued for an eliminitivist position he calls “Buddhist reductionism” that in
terprets the Abhidharma position as one that denies conventional entities
exist but that retains discourse involving apparent reference to them. How
ever\, in a recent article Kris McDaniel (2019)\, a prominent defender of
ontological pluralism\, challenges that view by proposing that the Abhidha
rma Buddhist distinction between conventional truth and ultimate truth be
“defined up” from a more basic distinction between two different ways an e
ntity can exist: conventionally or ultimately. In this paper I argue that
Saṃghabhadra’s account of conventional reality and truth does lends itself
well to McDaniel’s proposal but I will also argue that the account of con
ventional and ultimate truth that results differs in important ways from t
he models he offers. I will end by offering a modification of McDaniel’s a
ccount of conventional truth that is derived from Saṃghabhadra’s pluralist
ontology. That view will\, unlike the views suggested by both Siderits an
d McDaniel\, allow for there to be ultimate truths about what is conventio
nally true.\n \nDinner will be kindly offered by the Columbia University S

DESCRIPTION:Generative art made with algorithms has existed since the early
days of computing in the 1960s. In recent years\, a new strand of generat
ive art has emerged: AI-generated art\, which leverages the recent progres
s of artificial intelligence to create artworks. Unlike old-fashioned gene
rative art\, AI-generated art is not produced with an explicit set of prog
ramming instructions provided by human artists\; instead\, it involves tra
ining an algorithm on a dataset so that it can later produce artworks (ima
ges\, music\, or video clips) using its own internal parameters that have
not been explicitly defined by a human. This process raises fascinating qu
estions at the intersection of computer science\, art history\, and the ph
ilosophy of art. At a superficial level of analysis\, AI-generated art see
ms to offload much of the creative impetus of art production to the machin
e\, requiring minimal intervention from the artist. On closer inspection\,
however\, it involves a novel process of curation at two key stages: upst
ream in the selection of the dataset on which the algorithm is trained\, a
nd downstream in the selection of the outputs that should qualify as artwo
rks. Instead of replacing human artists with computers\, AI-generated art
can be understood as a new kind of collaboration between mind and machine\
, both of which contribute to the aesthetic value of the final artwork.\nT
his seminar will bring together AI artists and philosophers to explore the
significance of this new mode of art production. It will discuss the impl
ications of AI-generated art for the definition of art\, the nature of the
relationship between artists and tools\, the process of digital curation\
, and whether AI systems can be as creative as humans.\nEvent Speakers\n\n

the dataset on which the algorithm is trained\, and downstream in the sel
ection of the outputs that should qualify as artworks. Instead of replacin
g human artists with computers\, AI-generated art can be understood as a n
ew kind of collaboration between mind and machine\, both of which contribu
te to the aesthetic value of the final artwork.
\nThis seminar will
bring together AI artists and philosophers to explore the significance of
this new mode of art production. It will discuss the implications of AI-ge
nerated art for the definition of art\, the nature of the relationship bet
ween artists and tools\, the process of digital curation\, and whether AI
systems can be as creative as humans.

DESCRIPTION:Making Space for Justice: Social Movements\, Collective Imagina
tion\, and Political Hope\nby Michele M Moody-Adams\nFrom nineteenth-centu
ry abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today\, progressive social movements
have been at the forefront of social change. Yet it is seldom recognized
that such movements have not only engaged in political action but also pos
ed crucial philosophical questions about the meaning of justice and about
how the demands of justice can be met.\nMichele Moody-Adams argues that an
yone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or both—m
ust ask what can be learned from social movements. Drawing on a range of c
ompelling examples\, she explores what they have shown about the nature of
justice as well as what it takes to create space for justice in the world
. Moody-Adams considers progressive social movements as wellsprings of mor
al 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 robust respect. Successful movements
have drawn on the transformative power of imagination\, strengthening the
motivation to pursue justice and to create the political institutions and
social policies that can sustain it by inspiring political hope.\nMaking
Space for Justice contends that the insights arising from social movements
are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective
practice—and should be transformative for political thought as well as for
political activism.

\nFrom nineteenth-century
abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today\, progressive social movements h
ave been at the forefront of social change. Yet it is seldom recognized th
at such movements have not only engaged in political action but also posed
crucial philosophical questions about the meaning of justice and about ho
w the demands of justice can be met.
\nMichele Moody-Adams argues th
at anyone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or b
oth—must ask what can be learned from social movements. Drawing on a range
of compelling examples\, she explores what they have shown about the natu
re of justice as well as what it takes to create space for justice in the
world. Moody-Adams considers progressive social movements as wellsprings o
f moral inquiry and as agents of social change\, drawing out key philosoph

hers\, combining compassionate concern and robust respect. Successful move
ments have drawn on the transformative power of imagination\, strengthenin

\nMaking Space for Justice contends that the insights arising
from social movements are critical to bridging the gap between discerning
theory and effective practice—and should be transformative for political t

\nIt is a common assumption that ethics mus
t serve as the cornerstone of politics. Yet abstract moral arguments have
always been used for justifying all kinds of atrocities\; ethical sensitiv
ity and compassion have been expressed towards particular kinds of victims
\, while totally ignoring others.
\nThe liberal West\, in particular
\, continually manifests such blindness. It is horrified by non-Western op
pressive methods\, but turns a blind eye to their Western equivalents.
\nThe gratification of holding the moral high ground consistently serve
s as a political instrument in the hands of those seeking to shore up the

\nIn The Poverty of Ethics\, philosopher and activis
t Anat Matar argues for the conceptual primacy of political discourse over
ethics and claims that only the political force which stands for equality

DESCRIPTION:What makes right acts right? A Stoic answer to Ross’s question.
\nWhen W.D. Ross poses the question\, “what makes right acts right?” (The
Right and the Good ch. 2)\, he is asking a question that is prior to the d
eliberative question\, “how do I determine the right thing to do?” The Sto
ics recognize this: in De Officiis 1.7\, Cicero says that every inquiry ab
out duty has two parts: (1) a theoretical part concerned with the end of g
oods and evils\, which addresses such matters as whether all duties are pe
rfect\, whether some are more important than others\, and what are the kin
ds of duties\, and (2) a practical part which sets out rules (praecepta) b
y which our conduct can be made to conform with the end. This paper focus
es on (1) and in particular asks Ross’s question about Stoic right actions
(kathêkonta).\n \nThe endpoint of Stoic deliberation is determining what
token action is the right action. The paper begins with the Stoic distin

SUMMARY:Rachana Kamtekar: What makes right acts right? A Stoic answer to Ro

\\n\\n\\nW
hat makes right acts right? A Stoic answer to Ross’s question.
\nWhen W.D. Ross poses the question\, “what makes right acts righ
t?” (The Right and the Good ch. 2)\, he is asking a question that is prior
to the deliberative question\, “how do I determine the right thing to do?
” The Stoics recognize this: in De Officiis 1.7\, Cicero says that every i
nquiry about duty has two parts: (1) a theoretical part concerned with the
end of goods and evils\, which addresses such matters as whether all duti
es are perfect\, whether some are more important than others\, and what ar
e the kinds of duties\, and (2) a practical part which sets out rules (pra
ecepta) by which our conduct can be made to conform with the end. This pa
per focuses on (1) and in particular asks Ross’s question about Stoic righ
t actions (kathêkonta).
\n
\nThe endpoint of Stoic deliberat
ion is determining what token action is the right action. The paper begin
s with the Stoic distinction between a thing’s choiceworthiness\, its intr
insic disposition to elicit a choice response in a suitable subject\, and
its possession being to-be-chosen. The determination of what is to-be-done
is made by weighing against each other all the values of the relevant act
ion types specified by their content (the so-called ‘intermediate actions’
) that are in accordance with nature\, as Stoic value theory says that acc
ording with nature is an objective reason to do an action. What constitut
es the rightness of the token right action\, and is given in its reasonabl
e defense\, is the same as what constitutes the rightness of a perfect (ka
torthôma) action. The Stoic distinction between right and perfect actio
n depends on the action’s moral goodness—not rightness—which is due to its
causal origin.

DESCRIPTION:Seen from a distance\, competing views of laws of nature attend
to different aspects of their target concept. The Best System Analysis (‘
BSA’) focuses on the role of laws in systematizing our thoughts about part
icular facts\, while non-Humean (‘realist’) views focus on whatever it is
– N-relations among universals\, powers – that pushes the universe from on
e state to another. Nothing stops us from combining these views: with the
BSA\, we can restrict the laws of science to summarizing particulars\, whi
le at the same time\, with our preferred realism\, positing a ‘driver’ tha
t makes those particulars as they are.\nSo far\, there have been only a fe
w attempts to hybridize the BSA with some form of realism\, and then only
with the powers view. I argue that there is a deep assumption woven into t
he fabric of realism from Descartes’s time on: that the laws of a science
report on facts\, which in turn either are or involve the realist’s chosen
driver. I argue that the best-known attempt to hybridize the BSA with a p
ower’s view – Heather Demarest’s potency-BSA – still makes this Cartesian
assumption\, and faces significant objections as a result. The lesson is t
hat anyone attempting to create hybrids should abandon that assumption ent
irely. After formulating what I take to be a more defensible powers-BSA hy
brid\, I go on to show how one might cross-breed the BSA with primitivism
and with the universals view. By abandoning the Cartesian assumption\, we
can create hybrids that are considerably more defensible than their realis

DESCRIPTION:Recent research in animal behavior and culture shows that the m
ental capacities of animals have been largely undervalued. And yet it is h
ard to resist the impression of a gap—a difference in nature rather than d
egree—between humans and non-humans when it comes to certain tasks involvi
ng abstraction\, planning\, sustained attention\, or the transmission of c
ulture over generations. How different is the human mind from the minds of
non-human animals? The key to these issues may lie in the capacity of the
mind to relate to itself as a “self” that bears desires and intentions\,
along with agency and purpose. But how is this compatible with the recogni
tion that much of our mental activity occurs at an unconscious or subconsc
ious level\, below the threshold of awareness and reflection? Is our perce
ived unity of self or mind an illusion we entertain for practical purposes
?\nPsychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik\, ecologist Carl Safina\, an

mals in relation to the construct of “self.”\nReception to follow.\n\n\n\n

CATEGORIES;LANGUAGE=en-US:New School for Social Research
CONTACT:https://event.newschool.edu/philosophycolloquiumtolstoyasp
DESCRIPTION:In better times\, this talk may have been given as a detailed a
ccount of the practices and side stories that had been part of the just pu
blished anthology titled Tolstoy as Philosopher (2022)\, a result of a qua
rter-century work on Tolstoy’s manuscripts and research at international a
rchives. The finished book can be abstracted as follows.\nBeginning with T
olstoy’s first extant records of his written œuvre\, the anthology assembl
es seventy-seven unabridged texts that cover more than seven decades of hi
s life\, from 1835 to 1910. It constitutes the most complete single-volum
e edition to date of the rich variety of Tolstoy’s philosophical output: a
pothegmatic sayings\, visions\, intimate sketchbook and day notes\, book r
eviews\, open letters\, dialogues\, pedagogic talks\, public lectures\, pr
ograms and rules for personal behavior\, fictions\, and reminiscences.\n
\nIt was the insolvable\, the “scandalous\,” problems of philosophy that n
ever gave Tolstoy any rest: freedom of the will\, religious tolerance\, ge
nder inequality\, the tonal shape of music\, the value of healthy life hab
its\, the responsibilities of teaching\, forms of social protest\, cogniti
ve development\, science in society\, the relation between body and mind\,
charity and labor\, human dignity and public service\, sexual psychology\
, national war doctrines\, suicide\, individual sacrifice\, the purposes o
f making art. And always: What are the sources of violence? Why should we
engage in politics? Why do we need governments? How can one practice non-
violence? What is the meaning of our irrepressible desire to seek and find
meaning? Why can’t we live without loving? The typeset proofs of his fina
l insights were brought to Tolstoy for approval when he was already on his
deathbed. No matter their brevity or the occasion on which they were writ
ten\, these works exemplify Tolstoy as an artistically inventive and intel
lectually absorbing thinker.\n \nMost of the newly translated and thorough
ly annotated texts have never been available in English. Among the notabl
e archival restorations is the text titled “Tolstoy on Venezuela\,” an aut
hentic first publication in English of “Patriotism\, or Peace?” (1896) tha
t had been personally checked by Tolstoy and deemed lost. In the inaugural
piece\, a seven-year-old Tolstoy describes violent but natural animal lif
e 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 fo
r his grandchildren provides a lesson on vegetarianism and non-violence th
at a hungry wolf teaches a hungry boy during their conversation when both
are on their way to lunch.\n \nThe anthology was being copyedited when Rus
sia invaded Ukraine on February 24\, 2022. After having provided the neces
sary grounding for Tolstoy’s place within the Russian philosophical tradit
ion and explaining his overall reception and standing\, the speaker will c
omment on the implications of this unfolding historic tragedy for the curr
ent moment and the future\, in order to then open the floor for general di
scussion.\n \nAbout the speaker:\nInessa Medzhibovskaya has taught at The
New School since 2004. She is an intellectual historian\, philologist\, s
pecialist in international education\, and a literary scholar by training
and is currently Professor of Liberal Studies and Literature at The New Sc

SUMMARY:Tolstoy as Philosopher: Reflections during the Darkest of Times
URL:https://www.noahgreenstein.com/wordpress/event/tolstoy-as-philosopher-r
eflections-during-the-darkest-of-times/
X-COST-TYPE:free
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nIn better tim
es\, this talk may have been given as a detailed account of the practices
and side stories that had been part of the just published anthology titled
Tolstoy as Philosopher (2022)\, a result of a quarter-century wo
rk on Tolstoy’s manuscripts and research at international archives. The fi
nished book can be abstracted as follows.
\nBeginning with Tolstoy’s
first extant records of his written œuvre\, the anthology assembles seven
ty-seven unabridged texts that cover more than seven decades of his life\,
from 1835 to 1910. It constitutes the most complete single-volume editio
n to date of the rich variety of Tolstoy’s philosophical output: apothegma
tic sayings\, visions\, intimate sketchbook and day notes\, book reviews\,
open letters\, dialogues\, pedagogic talks\, public lectures\, programs a
nd rules for personal behavior\, fictions\, and reminiscences.
\n
p>\n
It was the insolvable\, the “scandalous\,” problems of philosophy t
hat never gave Tolstoy any rest: freedom of the will\, religious tolerance
\, gender inequality\, the tonal shape of music\, the value of healthy lif
e habits\, the responsibilities of teaching\, forms of social protest\, co
gnitive development\, science in society\, the relation between body and m
ind\, charity and labor\, human dignity and public service\, sexual psycho
logy\, national war doctrines\, suicide\, individual sacrifice\, the purpo
ses of making art. And always: What are the sources of violence? Why shou
ld we engage in politics? Why do we need governments? How can one practice
non-violence? What is the meaning of our irrepressible 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 approval when he was already o
n 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
\nMost of the newly tran
slated and thoroughly annotated texts have never been available in English
. Among the notable archival restorations is the text titled “Tolstoy on
Venezuela\,” an authentic first publication in English of “Patriotism\
, or Peace?” (1896) that had been personally checked by Tolstoy and d
eemed lost. In the inaugural piece\, a seven-year-old Tolstoy describes vi
olent 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 a
n eighty-year-old Tolstoy for his grandchildren provides a lesson on veget
arianism and non-violence that a hungry wolf teaches a hungry boy during t
heir conversation when both are on their way to lunch.
\n
\n<
em>The anthology was being copyedited when Russia invaded Ukraine on
February 24\, 2022. After having provided the necessary grounding for Tols
toy’s place within the Russian philosophical tradition and explaining his
overall reception and standing\, the speaker will comment on the implicati
ons of this unfolding historic tragedy for the current moment and the futu
re\, in order to then open the floor for general discussion.
\n

kaya has taught at The New School since 2004. She is an intellec

DESCRIPTION:A Feminist Mythology\, Bloomsbury\, 2022\nA book panel with Chr
isten Clifford (The New School)\, Jean-Michel Rabate’ (University of Penns
ylvania)\, Rose Rejouis (The New School) and a response by Chiara Bottici.
\nA Feminist Mythology takes us on a poetic journey through the canonical
myths of femininity\, testing them from the point of view of our modern co
ndition. A myth is not an object\, but rather a process\, one that Chiara
Bottici practises by exploring different variants of the myth of “womanhoo
d” through first- and third-person prose and poetry. We follow a series of
myths that morph into each other\, disclosing ways of being woman that qu
estion inherited patriarchal orders. In this metamorphic world\, story-tel
ling is not just a mix of narrative\, philosophical dialogues and metaphys
ical theorizing: it is a current that traverses all of them by overflowing
the boundaries it encounters. In doing so\, A Feminist Mythology proposes
an alternative writing style that recovers ancient philosophical and lite
rary traditions from the pre-Socratic philosophers and Ovid’s Metamorphose
s to the philosophical novellas and feminist experimental writings of the
last century.

DESCRIPTION:Our speaker on Monday\, February 13th will be Bianca Cepollaro\
, who is a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Philosophy in University Vita
-Salute San Raffaele. Bianca will give a talk called ‘(Not Necessarily Cre
dible) Deniability’:\nDinges and Zakkou’s 2022 analyze deniability as an e
pistemic notion. For them\, a speaker has deniability with respect to the
proposition that they meant something just in case their audience does not
know what they meant\, possibly thanks to their denial. In this paper\, w
e illustrate two kinds of cases that challenge their account\, in order to
argue that deniability cannot be so understood. The first kind of scenari
o shows how their epistemic understanding of deniability does not provide
sufficient conditions for deniability\; the second one suggests that their
conditions are not necessary either. Our goal here is entirely negative:
we aim to do a ground-clearing job\, providing reasons why deniability can
not be understood in certain ways\, and leave the articulation of an alter
native proposal for future work.\nWe’re a community of philosophers of lan
guage centered in New York City. We have a meeting each week at which a sp
eaker presents a piece of their own work relating to the philosophy of lan
guage.\nDuring Spring 2023\, we will meet on Mondays\, 6-8pm in room 202 o

DESCRIPTION:Rationality\, long considered a distinctive characteristic of t
he human mind\, provides us with the capacity for understanding and discer
nment\, as well as the ability to introduce order into our thoughts by all
owing us to form higher-order volitions\, adopt values\, establish priorit
ies\, and achieve a level of consistency in our actions across time. The a
ncient Socratic ideal of the “examined life” in pursuit of truth and justi
ce relied on a definition of human nature that was to be cultivated in a s
ystematic way. If the key to fully realizing our humanity lies in the cult
ivation of our minds\, what ethical principles and practices in modern lif
e can help our minds to flourish? How can reason be blended with emotion t
o nurture a more ethical life? In this regard\, experimental psychology an
d neuroscientific research may have much to teach us\, as might the age-ol
d wisdom traditions.\nPsychologist and neurobiologist Richard Davidson\, c
lassics scholar Edith Hall\, and psychologist Dacher Keltner analyze how r
eason and the mind can facilitate ethical development.\nReception to follo

DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the reflexive nature of consciousness\, whic
h consists primarily in the fact that a state of consciousness has a refle
xive relation to the subject who has that state\, so that the subject can
typically be aware of itself as having that state. Comparing Kant’s\, Fich
te’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of this reflexivity sho
ws that there is a crucial difference in the way the relation 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 under
stood not in terms of a self-referential content resulting from a reflecti
on on the state of the subject\, but as the universal transcendental form
that any content must have in order to be representationally significant a
nd potentially conscious to the subject. The second part examines Fichte’s
departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing consciousness: in th
e original act of self-positing\, the mere form of reflexivity is turned i
nto a self-referential content that determines the subject as an object fr
om the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third part examines analy
tic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is often called the sub
jective character) of consciousness on a model of mental indexicality. The
se theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective constituent of cont
ent that\, although often implicit\, can be read off from the subject’s co
ntextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’s theory can be unde
rstood as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspectivism that navigates
between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturalist absolute objectiv

DESCRIPTION:Book discussion on Gwenda-lin Grewal’s\, Thinking About Death i
n Plato’s Euthydemus. A Close Reading and New Translation (OUP 2022)\n \nS
peakers:\nGwenda-lin Grewal (NSSR)\nCinzia Arruzza (NSSR)\nNicholas Pappas
(CUNY)\n \nThinking of Death places Plato’s Euthydemus among the dialogue
s that surround the trial and death of Socrates. A premonition of philosop
hy’s fate arrives in the form of Socrates’ encounter with the two-headed s
ophist pair\, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus\, who appear as if they are the
ghost of the Socrates of Aristophanes’ Thinkery. The pair vacillate betwee
n choral ode and rhapsody\, as Plato vacillates between referring to them
in the dual and plural number in Greek. Gwenda-lin Grewal’s close reading
explores how the structure of the dialogue and the pair’s back-and-forth a
rguments bear a striking resemblance to thinking itself: in its immersive
remove from reality\, thinking simulates death even as it cannot conceive
of its possibility. Euthydemus and Dionysodorus take this to an extreme\,
and so emerge as the philosophical dream and sophistic nightmare of being
disembodied from substance. The Euthydemus is haunted by philosophy’s tenu
ous relationship to political life. This is played out in the narration th
rough Crito’s implied criticism of Socrates-the phantom image of the Athen
ian laws-and in the drama itself\, which appears to take place in Hades. T
hinking of death thus brings with it a lurid parody of the death of thinki
ng: the farce of perfect philosophy that bears the gravity of the city’s s
ophistry. Grewal also provides a new translation of the Euthydemus that pa
ys careful attention to grammatical ambiguities\, nuances\, and wit in way
s that substantially expand the reader’s access to the dialogue’s mysterie
s.

Thinking of D
eath places Plato’s Euthydemus among the dialogues that surround the trial
and death of Socrates. A premonition of philosophy’s fate arrives in the
form of Socrates’ encounter with the two-headed sophist pair\, Euthydemus
and Dionysodorus\, who appear as if they are the ghost of the Socrates of
Aristophanes’ Thinkery. The pair vacillate between choral ode and rhapsody
\, as Plato vacillates between referring to them in the dual and plural nu
mber in Greek. Gwenda-lin Grewal’s close reading explores how the structur
e of the dialogue and the pair’s back-and-forth arguments bear a striking
resemblance to thinking itself: in its immersive remove from reality\, thi
nking simulates death even as it cannot conceive of its possibility. Euthy
demus and Dionysodorus take this to an extreme\, and so emerge as the phil
osophical dream and sophistic nightmare of being disembodied from substanc
e. The Euthydemus is haunted by philosophy’s tenuous relationship to polit
ical life. This is played out in the narration through Crito’s implied cri
ticism of Socrates-the phantom image of the Athenian laws-and in the drama
itself\, which appears to take place in Hades. Thinking of death thus bri
ngs with it a lurid parody of the death of thinking: the farce of perfect
philosophy that bears the gravity of the city’s sophistry. Grewal also pro
vides a new translation of the Euthydemus that pays careful attention to g
rammatical ambiguities\, nuances\, and wit in ways that substantially expa

DESCRIPTION:Neopragmatists seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shiftin
g the target of philosophical explanation from the objects we think and ta
lk about to the functions of expressions and concepts in our cognitive eco
nomy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquiry\,
and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other vocabu
lary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a neopr
agmatist perspective toward logical relations\, such as logical consequenc
e\, and toward propositional content. Doing so calls into question two pur
ported constraints on explanations of the functions of logical connectives
. I will sketch an account made possible by rejecting those constraints\,
one according to which logical connectives serve to express dialectical at
titudes. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an extensio

some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.\nHi\, All. Below is the pr

DESCRIPTION:In 1931\, Max Horkheimer proposed a model of interdisciplinary
research that remains a benchmark for understanding how cultures function
and might function better. He imagined an institute “in which philosophers
\, sociologists\, economists\, historians\, and psychologists are brought
together in permanent collaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institute
would not work with a single theory but would let data lead to new hypothe
ses (Horkheimer 1993\, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues rare
ly lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically groun
ded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Horkh
eimer’s and Adorno’s history of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialectic o
f Enlightenment\, with current research on the development of early human
cultures by Richard Wrangham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Joseph
Henrich and Cecilia Heyes. The comparison with recent research in anthrop
ology\, 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 approa
ches jointly suggest that human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded\;
that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; that
learning occurs in context through imitation\; and that customs and insti
tutions develop contingently and by accident through processes of cooperat

the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The res

DESCRIPTION:This talk will develop the idea that racial identities are best
understood as formed through large scale historical events\, and that thi
s genesis can only be obscured by disavowals of racial categories as conce
ptually mistaken and inevitably morally pernicious. In this sense\, races
are formed not simply as ideas\, or ideologies and policies\, as many soc
ial constructivists about race argue\, but as forms of life with associate
d patterns of subjectivity including\, as a wealth of social psychology ha
s shown\, presumptive attitudes and behavioral dispositions (Jeffers 2019\
; Steele 2010\; Sullivan 2005). Because they are historical formations\, r
acial identities are thoroughly social\, contextual\, variegated internall
y\, and dynamic. It is history that will alter them\, not merely policy ch

SUMMARY:The Historical Formation of Races. Linda Alcoff

This talk wil
l develop the idea that racial identities are best understood as formed th
rough large scale historical events\, and that this genesis can only be ob
scured by disavowals of racial categories as conceptually mistaken and ine
vitably morally pernicious. In this sense\, races are formed not simply a
s ideas\, or ideologies and policies\, as many social constructivists abou
t race argue\, but as forms of life with associated patterns of subjectivi
ty including\, as a wealth of social psychology has shown\, presumptive at
titudes and behavioral dispositions (Jeffers 2019\; Steele 2010\; Sullivan
2005). Because they are historical formations\, racial identities
are thoroughly social\, contextual\, variegated internally\, and dynamic.
It is history that will alter them\, not merely policy changes.

DESCRIPTION:Conceptual misalignment is a pervasive phenomenon in the studie
s of Non-Western philosophy and the History of Philosophy (NW&HP). However
\, conceptual misalignment is often undetected\, unsuspected\, or seen as
a hurdle that NW&HP materials need to overcome to contribute to contempora
ry discussions. Specifically\, conceptual misalignment refers to the follo
wing: In the process of crystalizing NW&HP materials\, a linguistic coordi
nation of concepts is formed between the speaker\, i.e.\, NW&HP\, and its
context of contemporary anglophone philosophy. However\, in philosophicall
y meaningful ways\, the original NW&HP concept and its anglophone counterp
art misalign. This misalignment is particularly intricate and hard to dete
ct when it comes to emotion concepts\, as they are thought to involve phen
omenal and/or intentional features. Through investigating the concept of e
motion in Chinese philosophy\, I propose a refocusing on conceptual misali
gnment as a method of cross-cultural comparative and history of philosophy
. Moreover\, I argue that conceptual misalignment is an important resource
for contemporary conceptual engineering and amelioration projects.\nWith
responses from Andrew Lambert (College of Staten Island\, CUNY)\nRSVP is r

DESCRIPTION:In Sanskrit epistemology\, philosophers are preoccupied with th
e notion of pramā. A pramā\, roughly\, is a mental event of learning or kn
owledge-acquisition. Call any such mental event a knowledge-event. In A Co
nfection of Refutation (Khaṇḍanakhaṇḍakhādya)\, the 12th century philosoph
er and poet Śrīharṣa argued that knowledge-events are indefinable. Any sat
isfactory (and therefore non-circular) definition of knowledge-events will
have to include an anti-luck condition that doesn’t appeal back to the no
tion of learning or knowledge-acquisition itself. But there is no such ant
i-luck condition. What is novel about Śrīharṣa’s argument is that it is mo
tivated by his commitment to a certain “knowledge first” approach to epist
emology: the view that knowledge-events are epistemically prior to other n
on-factive mental states and events. On this view\, when we are trying to
determine whether an agent has undergone a knowledge-event\, we don’t init
ially ascribe to them some other non-factive mental event\, and then check

SUMMARY:Śrīharṣa on the Indefinability of Knowledge. Nilanjan Das (U Toront

In Sanskrit epistemology\, philosophers are preoccupied with th
e notion of pramā. A pramā\, roughly\, is a mental event of learning or kn
owledge-acquisition. Call any such mental event a knowledge-event. In A Co
nfection of Refutation (Khaṇḍanakhaṇḍakhādya)\, the 12th century philosoph
er and poet Śrīharṣa argued that knowledge-events are indefinable. Any sat
isfactory (and therefore non-circular) definition of knowledge-events will
have to include an anti-luck condition that doesn’t appeal back to the no
tion of learning or knowledge-acquisition itself. But there is no such ant
i-luck condition. What is novel about Śrīharṣa’s argument is that it is mo
tivated by his commitment to a certain “knowledge first” approach to epist
emology: the view that knowledge-events are epistemically prior to other n
on-factive mental states and events. On this view\, when we are trying to
determine whether an agent has undergone a knowledge-event\, we don’t init
ially ascribe to them some other non-factive mental event\, and then check
if that event meets some further conditions (like truth or reliability) n
ecessary for it to count as a knowledge-event\; rather\, we treat certain
mental events by default as knowledge-events until a defeater comes along.
Surprisingly\, Śrīharṣa
argues that this kind of “knowledge first” epistemology should give us re
ason to doubt whether our ordinary attributions of knowledge-events are re
liably tracking any sui generis psychological kind. In this talk\, I recon
struct Śrīharṣa’s position.

DESCRIPTION:Western metaphysics is based on the opposition between reality
and appearance. This construction essentially rests on a visual model\, or
more exactly on some staging of what visual experience is.\nI am going to
question the basis of this metaphysics\, by taking into account the reali
ty of appearances and reflecting on their various uses\, in particular art
istic ones. This path will be taken in the first place by shifting the foc
us of philosophical analysis from visual to acoustic models. Thus\, I will
envisage a realism of echoes\, as opposed to the metaphysics of shadows.

and currently a member of the ‘Institut Universitaire de France’. He has
dedicated his early work to phenomenology and the bridges between phenomen
ology and early Analytic philosophy. For some time he was the Director of
the Husserl Archive of Paris at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. Then\, he de

. He has published many books\, including recently: Toward a Contextual Re

DESCRIPTION:When someone is in a conscious state\, must they be aware of th
at state? The Buddhist philosopher Dignāga offers a brilliant route to an
swering this question by leveraging the role awareness might play as a con
straint on memory. I begin by clarifying his strategy and what conclusion
s it might be used to establish. Here I examine different candidate direc
tions of explanation between consciousness and inner awareness. I interpr
et the metaphor of consciousness as a lamp that lights itself\, and use th
e metaphor to distinguish between his view and contemporary higher-order t
heories of consciousness. I then turn to explain why the memory argument
fails. The first main problem is that\, contrary to Dignāga’s contemporar
y defenders\, there is no good way to use the argument to reach a conclusi
on about all conscious states. The second main problem is that the propos
ed awareness constraint on memory is highly problematic\, in tension both
with ancient objections as well as current psychology.\nWith responses fro

DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, I explore the role that metaphor plays in the d
evelopment of new scientific models. My goal is to illustrate metaphor’s f
ecundity in this regard\, the way in which it extends our understanding in
surprisingly diverse ways. As Mary Hesse put this point\, “it is precisel
y in its extension that the fruitfulness of the model may lie” (1980\, 114
).\n \nThe particular focus of my paper is on the history of what John Hau
geland called mind design: the use of mechanical models to reverse-enginee
r how minds work (1997\, 1). My history focuses on two such models: the cl
ockwork model and the computer model. In each case\, I show how a metaphor
ical understanding of the model led to conceptual innovation in two distin
ct ways. First\, it provided an interpretive frame that guided new researc
h by offering an abstract\, hypothesized structure to be later filled in b
y empirical research (Camp 2020). Second\, it provided a concrete exemplar
to contrast with human minds (Daston 1994). For instance\, while on the o
ne hand Descartes invoked the clockwork model to explain how color vision
works (Adams 2015)\, he also invoked it as a vivid illustration of how hum
an reasoning does not work (Riskin 2016).\n \nIt is this second source of
conceptual innovation that is the real core of the paper\; it reveals what
I call the dialectic of mind design. This dialectic is especially evident
in our tendency to redefine what it is to be human in response to new tec
hnological developments. For instance\, it is evident when we take somethi
ng that was previously assumed to be paradigmatic of mental acuity\, such
as the ability to play chess\, and redefine it as something merely mechani
cal (Ensmenger 2012). But it is equally well evident when we take somethin
g that was previously taken to be mechanical—such as color vision—and rede
fine it as paradigmatically mental (Chalmers 1997\; cf. Adams and Browning
2020). The concept of mindedness is\, in this sense\, a constantly moving
goalpost that is perennially being redefined in response to new technolog
ical developments.\nTickets: https://event.newschool.edu/thedialecticofmin

In this paper
\, I explore the role that metaphor plays in the development of new scient
ific models. My goal is to illustrate metaphor’s fecundity in this regard\
, the way in which it extends our understanding in surprisingly diverse wa
ys. As Mary Hesse put this point\, “it is precisely in its extension that
the fruitfulness of the model may lie” (1980\, 114).
\n
\n
The
particular focus of my paper is on the history of what John Haugeland cal
led mind design: the use of mechanical models to reverse-engineer how mind
s work (1997\, 1). My history focuses on two such models: the clockwork mo
del and the computer model. In each case\, I show how a metaphorical under
standing of the model led to conceptual innovation in two distinct ways. F
irst\, it provided an interpretive frame that guided new research by offer
ing an abstract\, hypothesized structure to be later filled in by empirica
l research (Camp 2020). Second\, it provided a concrete exemplar to contra
st with human minds (Daston 1994). For instance\, while on the one hand De
scartes invoked the clockwork model to explain how color vision works (Ada
ms 2015)\, he also invoked it as a vivid illustration of how human reasoni
ng does not work (Riskin 2016).
\n
\n
It is this second source
of conceptual innovation that is the real core of the paper\; it reveals
what I call the dialectic of mind design. This dialectic is especially evi
dent in our tendency to redefine what it is to be human in response to new
technological developments. For instance\, it is evident when we take som
ething that was previously assumed to be paradigmatic of mental acuity\, s
uch as the ability to play chess\, and redefine it as something merely mec
hanical (Ensmenger 2012). But it is equally well evident when we take some
thing that was previously taken to be mechanical—such as color vision—and
redefine it as paradigmatically mental (Chalmers 1997\; cf. Adams and Brow
ning 2020). The concept of mindedness is\, in this sense\, a constantly mo
ving goalpost that is perennially being redefined in response to new techn
ological developments.

DESCRIPTION:When is anxiety justified? When does anxiety cease to function
as an effective and reasonable signal preventing imminent threats\, and wh
en does it become an invasive projection of our own ghosts? My talk is div
ided into three sections. First\, I will emphasize the anthropological rel
evance of anxiety: in various theoretical frameworks\, the difference betw
een free-floating anxiety and fear directed at a specific danger even serv
es as a criterion for distinguishing human beings from animals. Second\, I
will conduct a phenomenological analysis of anxiety focusing in particula
r on the altered relationship between perception and imagination. Third\,
I will address a specific form of anxiety which is particularly dominant i
n the context of our post-disciplinary societies: the feeling of being lef
t behind. My talk presents a philosophical inquiry into the affective phen
omenon that can both protect us from danger and be a danger in itself.\n

DESCRIPTION:What is an appropriate response to humiliating treatments such
as insults? This question is not only relevant to today’s discourse but ha
s also piqued the curiosity of thinkers in classical Chinese philosophy. T
he Warring States period debate regarding whether one’s inner sense of sha
me can shield one from insulting situations and from experiencing shame is
frequently presented as a one-sided narrative that focuses on the Confuci
an texts. Meanwhile\, the views of their rival thinkers\, such as the Daoi
st\, legalist\, or much-neglected Songzi (3rd century BCE)\, are rarely th
e focus of attention. This paper brings Songzi\, a key player in the debat
e of emotions as responses to external triggers\, into the picture and res
tores the historical intellectual discourse over the topic of what constit
utes an appropriate response to humiliating situations such as insults. Mo
re importantly\, I point out the philosophical significance of this debate
\, namely how Songzi prompts Xunzi to respond to an ambiguity within the C
onfucian doctrine: The early Confucians appear to think that an individual
’s internal virtues can isolate and shield one from hostile external stimu
li while also maintaining that the external environment impacts one’s mora
l cultivation and moral life in significant ways. Xunzi’s strategic move\,
I argue\, is to give credit to both an inner sense of shame and the funct
ion of external stimuli in inducing negative emotions\, thus making an imp
ortant philosophical concession compared to Confucius and Mencius.\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:How do we experience space? And what does this mean for the spa

om Architecture\, Neuroscience\, and Virtual Reality\, with two specific a
ims: First\, we explore what Architecture and Virtual Reality can learn fr
om each other\, as two distinct approaches to “spatial design”. Whilst spa
tial experience has long been a central question of Architecture\, Virtual
Reality is only beginning to grapple with these questions\, as technology
transitions from 2D screens to 3D spatial interfaces. Second\, we explore
the nature of spatial experience itself\, with two approaches to understa
nding the human mind. Whilst contemporary Architecture is influenced by Ph
ilosophy (specifically the “Phenomenological” tradition)\, the tools of Ne
uroscience are increasingly being applied to questions of Architecture as
well. Through this multidisciplinary exchange we hope to deepen our unders

DESCRIPTION:“Hello friend of talkPOPc!\n\n\nI would like to invite you to o
ur amazing happenings on the weekend of Sept 23th and Sept 24th. On both n
ights we are holding one-to-one philosophy conversations about censorship
in our talkPOPc tent\; these become episodes on our podcast.\n\n\nThe Satu
rday\, Sept 23rd event is at the Center for Fiction in downtown Brooklyn (
@courtyard)\, and Montez Radio will be live streaming that one. Which is s
uper cool! That’s from 5 pm – 7 pm.\n\n\nOn Sunday\, Sept 24th\, the happe
ning is at Tomato Mouse Gallery\, it will be the more full talkPOPc experi
ence. This includes the visual artworks and text on the same topic of cens
orship (derived from my book Cover Up the Dirty Parts! Cambridge Scholars

\nThroughout the 21st century\, philosophers of language
have increasingly concerned themselves with the hateful\, coercive\, dehu
manizing\, and deadly. In particular\, ‘non-ideal’ philosophers of languag
e question whether received conceptual toolkits from philosophy of languag
e manage to make contact with our non-ideal world at all. This paper takes
up that methodological interest from a Wittgensteinian perspective. Drawi
ng on critical interventions by Nancy Bauer\, Avner Baz\, Alice Crary\, Co
ra Diamond\, and Toril Moi\, I argue that non-ideal philosophers of langua
ge neutralize their ideology-critical bite when they presume an authoritat
ive force for their words by virtue of a normatively neutral conception of
reason. This neutralization is driven and sustained by an idle picture of
language that isolates our words from the activities into which they are
woven. To make discursive phenomena available in their political import\,
we philosophers of language must acknowledge our own non-neutral involveme
nt in the very discursive practices we’re theorizing – and this will requi
re us to relinquish the entitlement to impose authoritative requirements o
n language through theories of meaning.
\nTo illustrate the need for
normatively non-neutral methods in philosophical practice\, I focus on ca
ses where philosophers’ curious gaze treats trans people
\nas fascina

s and recognizing the political stakes of our discursive practices. What i
nhibits the cultivation of acknowledgement\, of normatively resonant modes
of attention\, is a picture of philosophical theorizing that forbids us f
rom articulating our political solidarities through our work (and thus obf
uscates what we ourselves are doing with words when theorizing). The non-i

matively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the sort of theoretical resource
that is mobilized by members of marginalized groups to invite such modes o

DESCRIPTION:The founder of phenomenology is neither known as a political ph
ilosopher nor as an intellectual who publicly expressed his political view
s. However\, this should not lead us to think that Husserl himself or his
thought were completely “unpolitical”. In this talk\, our main claim is th
at two things are distinctive of Husserl’s approach to politics: First\, i
t is of utmost importance for him that politics should be guided by “ideas
”\, which means that it should not just engage in realpolitik\, but be reg
ulated by an idealistic\, maybe even utopian picture of how the state and
the community should be organized. Second\, Husserl grounds “the political
”\, i.e.\, the existential basis for organized politics\, in a phenomenolo
gy of communities.\nIn the final part of the talk\, we will distinguish di
fferent strands in the reception of Husserl’s political philosophy: one gr
oup that creatively expands on Husserl’s ideas on the state\, community\,
and home- and alienworld\; one that expresses reservations about whether H
usserlian phenomenology\, for methodological reasons\, at all allows for g
enuine political thought\; and one that uses analyses or methods that Huss
erl developed in a non-political context and employs them in a politicizin
g and critical manner.

DESCRIPTION:The virtually ubiquitous view of seeing-as experiences in Wittg
enstein scholarship interprets them as conceptually-laden (with some excep
tions\, e.g. Travis 2016). The claim is that we can see the same image dif
ferently due to switching the conceptual filters\, as it were\, through wh
ich we experience the image (e.g. Schroeder 2010\; Mulhall 2001). In this
paper I focus on a specific kind of a seeing-as experience for which Wittg
enstein’s example of suddenly noticing the similarity between faces is the
paradigm. I argue that it is possible to have no concepts involved in thi
s experience\, and propose an understanding of what I call “the imagistic
seeing-as” as a similarity association\, of the kind that grounds poetic m
eans of expression\, such as metaphors. The associative nature of this ima
gistic seeing-as experience may also contribute to the understanding of bi
ases – both personal (e.g. displaced offence) and social (e.g. sexism).

DESCRIPTION:The importance of incorporating value pluralism into a theory o
f justice is recognized in many conceptualizations of justice. This plural
ism is often seen as a reason to attend to a range of perspectives\, persp
ectives which can function as a source of information in determining which
principles should guide justice. However\, philosophy’s ability to proper
ly attend to different perspectives has received extensive attention in th
e criticisms of various non-ideal theorists\, who argue that ideal-theoret
ical philosophy runs the risk of excluding important aspects of actual soc
ial problems. Taking these criticisms on board\, this paper builds on non-
ideal theory by arguing for a Wittgensteinian family resemblance approach
to justice. I will explain how this linguistic practice-embedded understan
ding of justice can be a helpful tool for non-ideal theory\, as it can giv
e us insight into why\, in various similar but different cases\, the notio
n of justice is seen as applicable. In light of this approach\, I will sug
gest a reorientation of the pluralist demand towards an empirical starting
point.

DESCRIPTION:When W.D. Ross poses the question “what makes right acts right?
” (The Right and the Good\, ch. 2)\, he is asking a question that is prior
to\, and has a bearing on\, the practical question “how do I determine th
e right thing to do?” The Stoics recognize this. Cicero (De Officio\, wher
e he is referring to Panaetius’ work Peri Kathêkontos) tells us that ever
y inquiry about duty has two parts: (1) a theoretical part concerned with
the end of good and evil deeds\, which addresses such matters as whether a
ll duties are perfect (omniane official perfecta sint)\, whether some are
more important than others\, and what the kinds of duties are\, and (2) a
practical part which sets out rules (praecepta) by which our conduct can b
e made to conform with the end (De Officiis\, 1.7). While Cicero himself
focuses on the second\, this paper seeks the answer to the first part.\n

to decolonial feminism. In doing so\, I point to the manner in which this
account of resistance is dependent on a sense of ambiguity inspired by th

dictionary Δ⊆ωω\, but not against the full dictionary of Baire space. The
Wordle number is the size of the smallest dictionary admitting such a win
ning strategy for the codebreaker\, the corresponding Wordle ideal is the
ideal generated by these dictionaries\, which under MA includes all dictio
naries of size less than the continuum. The Absurdle number\, meanwhile\,
is the size of the smallest dictionary admitting a winning strategy for th

DESCRIPTION:Despite the political polarization that characterizes many of o

onally doing reasonably well. Exciting new work continues to appear and ve
nues for publication and discussion (print and digital\, in person and on-

names for what it is we are doing. Are comparative\, cross-cultural\, int
ercultural\, blended\, and fusion philosophy all the same thing? What do t
hey share and where do they diverge\, and why? Can we identify a distincti
ve project of comparative philosophy and say why it is important? Based on
a broad survey of approaches\, in this essay I offer answers to these que
stions. I maintain that whenever we do philosophy by drawing on at least t
wo significantly different traditions of philosophy\, we are doing compara
tive philosophy. Unpacking some of the key words in this definition will e
nable me to clarify some persistent confusions as well as to stress the co
nstitutive gamble that lies at the heart of all comparative philosophy. I
identify three different ways to do comparative philosophy well—Comparison

DESCRIPTION:How does the imagination change us? Why should picturing oursel
ves a certain way have any real effect on what we are? These questions are
central to debates in Buddhist tantric literature regarding the generatio
n stage (utpattikrama)\, wherein practitioners visualize themselves as bud
dhas ensconsed in magnificent mandala-palaces. For some\, this practice is
what sets Buddhist tantra apart: through this “yoga of the imagination\,”
as David Shulman puts it\, a practitioner can achieve buddhahood in a sin
gle lifetime. And yet\, as the Buddhist tantric author Indrabhūti (8th cen
tury) argues\, a pauper who imagines himself to be a king does not thereby
become one—so\, in the same way\, practitioners who visualize themselves
as buddhas will not thereby become buddhas. The mental imagery (ākāra) inv
olved in this practice is just so much unreal fabrication. Why should it h
ave real transformative effects? I’ll consider here how these debates play
ed out in Sanskrit Buddhist tantric texts from the 10th–11th centuries. I’
ll focus on early authors in the Kālacakra tradition\, who upheld Indrabhū
ti’s critique of the generation stage\, and authors like Ratnākaraśānti\,
Vāgīśvarakīrti\, and Advayavajra (aka Maitrīpa)\, who each in their own wa
y critiqued mental imagery yet defended the importance and effectiveness o
f generation-stage practice. In the first part of the paper\, I’ll conside
r arguments against mental imagery as these appear in generation-stage pra
ctice texts and the early Kālacakra tradition. In the second part\, I’ll t
urn to why we might think unreal mental imagery can nevertheless have real
transformative effects\, paying special attention to the ways Buddhist ta

atic theory (nāṭyaśastra) and Sanskrit culture more broadly.\n\n\n\n\nWith

How does the imagination change us
? Why should picturing ourselves a certain way have any real effect on wha
t we are? These questions are central to debates in Buddhist tantric liter
ature regarding the generation stage (utpattikrama)\, wherein pract
itioners visualize themselves as buddhas ensconsed in magnificent mandala-
palaces. For some\, this practice is what sets Buddhist tantra apart: thro
ugh this “yoga of the imagination\,” as David Shulman puts it\, a practiti
oner can achieve buddhahood in a single lifetime. And yet\, as the Buddhis
t tantric author Indrabhūti (8th century) argues\, a pauper who imagines h
imself to be a king does not thereby become one—so\, in the same way\, pra
ctitioners who visualize themselves as buddhas will not thereby become bud
dhas. The mental imagery (ākāra) involved in this practice is just
so much unreal fabrication. Why should it have real transformative effects
? I’ll consider here how these debates played out in Sanskrit Buddhist tan
tric texts from the 10th–11th centuries. I’ll focus on early authors in th
e Kālacakra tradition\, who upheld Indrabhūti’s critique of the generation
stage\, and authors like Ratnākaraśānti\, Vāgīśvarakīrti\, and Advayavajr

defended the importance and effectiveness of generation-stage practice. In
the first part of the paper\, I’ll consider arguments against mental imag
ery as these appear in generation-stage practice texts and the early Kālac

l mental imagery can nevertheless have real transformative effects\, payin

DESCRIPTION:Nietzsche (1844-1900) is one of the few philosophers who have a
n intimate connection to music. This connection has much to do with his ea
rly music education. His contemporaries testify that he was a good pianist
. His musical ambition\, or his musical daimon\, urged him to compose musi
c\, although he had no training in this area. Most of his compositions are
from his late teens\; his earliest inspirations are Beethoven\, Mozart\,
Haydn\, Schubert\, Schumann and Wagner. His compositions were gathered tog
ether and published by Curt Paul Janz in Friedrich Nietzsche\, Der musikal
ische Nachlass. Nietzsche’s music is available in several productions. How
ever\, Nietzsche did not follow a musical path and decided to become a phi
lologist and dedicated his life to writing and philosophy.\nNietzsche’s ba
ckground in music\, on the other hand\, influenced his way of thinking and
writing. All of these interesting areas between music\, literature\, and
philosophy and Nietzsche’s relationship to music understood on a broad spe
ctrum have been explored by many Nietzsche scholars including Georges Liéb
ert\, Graham Parkes\, Francois Noudelmann\, Stefan Lorenz Sorgner and othe
rs and in the anthology\, An Anthology on Nietzsche and Music: Philosophic
al Thoughts and Musical Experiments\, edited by the presenters of today’s

Nietzsche (1844-
1900) is one of the few philosophers who have an intimate connection to mu
sic. This connection has much to do with his early music education. His co
ntemporaries testify that he was a good pianist. His musical ambition\, or
his musical daimon\, urged him to compose music\, although he had no trai
ning in this area. Most of his compositions are from his late teens\; his
earliest inspirations are Beethoven\, Mozart\, Haydn\, Schubert\, Schumann
and Wagner. His compositions were gathered together and published by Curt
Paul Janz in Friedrich Nietzsche\, Der musikalische Nachlass. Nietzsche’s
music is available in several productions. However\, Nietzsche did not fo
llow a musical path and decided to become a philologist and dedicated his
life to writing and philosophy.

Nietzsche’s background in music\,
on the other hand\, influenced his way of thinking and writing. All of the

on to how these divisions play out particularly in contemporary Black Stud

for thinking about these questions through his discussions of repetition.
I argue that understanding our conversations about structural racism and

DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be\, appear\, and act in public? These que
stions are rarely asked when it comes to the often-diagnosed “structural t
ransformation” (Habermas) of the public sphere. Yet people have a wide var
iety of “public experiences” every day: from the simple experience of leav
ing the house and moving on the street to highly networked and technologic
ally mediated public communication and concerted action. In the project I
would like to present in its outlines\, I try to shed light on the quality
and structure of such “public experiences” using a phenomenological appro
ach. In this way\, I want to reclaim public space as an experiential space
and argue that experiences matter for the constitution of different kinds
of public spheres and public spaces.\nHow\, for example\, do phenomena li
ke visibility\, attention\, relevance\, reality\, trust\, or their opposit
es emerge in public contexts? And how can our individual and collective ex
periences of the public retain its high democratic ideals while facing the
constant threat of superficial entertainment and self-commercialization?
In contrast to theories that view the public sphere primarily as a system
of information\, coordination\, or discourse\, a phenomenological approach
aims to reveal the ways in which experiences constitute spaces of meaning
. Such a disclosure of the world-building function of experience is crucia
l if we are to understand how people can relate to their public existence
and a public world\, how they can integrate into it or fall away from it\,
gain or lose trust\, and how a shared world is either built or destroyed.
