\\nRichard J. Be rnstein first encountered John Dewey’s pragmatist naturalism as a graduate student at Yale University\, where “Dewey’s naturalistic vision of the r elation of experience and nature—how human beings as natural creatures are related to the rest of nature—spoke deeply to me.” This early enthusiasm for Dewey’s naturalistic vision never left him. During the final years of his long life\, Bernstein finished two books that return to issues of prag matist naturalism.
\n· His Pragmatic Naturalism: John Dewe y’s Living Legacy (2020)\, traces differing versions of Deweyan natur alism in the works of contemporary philosophers\, including Robert Brandom \, John McDowell\, Richard Rorty\, Wilfrid Sellars\, Peter Godfrey-Smith\, Philip Kitcher\, Bjorn Ramberg\, David Macarthur\, Steven Levine\, Mark J ohnson\, Robert Sinclair\, Huw Price\, and Joseph Rouse.
\n· I n his final book\, The Vicissitudes of Nature (2022)\, B ernstein clarifies his own pragmatist naturalism in relation to the thinki ng of earlier modern philosophers: Spinoza\, Hume\, Kant\, Hegel\, Marx\, Nietzsche\, and Freud.
\nThis conference will critically assess and expand the legacy of Bernstein’s final pragmatic naturalism as expressed i n these two books. Accepted papers will be collected for publication.
\nThe New York Pragmatist Forum
\nPaper topics may include:

\n\n\n\n\nThis talk rea ds contemporary debates about structural racism and US history from the pe rspective of philosophical questions about identity and difference. While many people have argued that America needs to come to terms with or “work through” the racism in its history that has shaped and continues to shape its present structures\, it remains difficult to explain what connects thi s past and the present. Are we talking about one racism with many differen t past and present forms? Or are there multiple racisms that only share so me similar features? In this talk\, I draw attention to how these division s play out particularly in contemporary Black Studies and argue that the p hilosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resources for thinking about thes e questions through his discussions of repetition. I argue that understand ing our conversations about structural racism and history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to better understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate forms together\, and what presuppositions operate in many attempts to “work through” the past.
\nBio: Eyo Ewara is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. His teaching and research explores the relatio nships between 20th Century Continental Philosophy\, Critical Philosophy o f Race\, and Queer Theory. His work has appeared in Theory and Event\, Pu ncta\, Philosophy Today\, Critical Philosophy of Race\, Political Theology \, and other venues. His current research project is particularly interest ed in engaging work in Continental Philosophy\, Queer Theory\, and Black S tudies to address questions of identity and difference amongst concepts of race\, forms of racism\, and forms of anti-racism. How can we better acco unt for the relations between at times radically disparate concepts\, stru ctures\, and practices such that they can all specifically and recognizabl y be called racial? What might our account of these relations say about ou r ability to address racism’s harms?
