Such exclusions have left philosophy i ll-equipped to deal with the various environmental crises we currently fac e\, as economic rationality and utilitarian logic further de-animate the w orld and sharpen the human/nature distinction. Even the concept “environme nt” often\, and ironically\, brings with it implicit anthropocentric assum ptions\, conceptualizing\, and thereby separating\, the human as independe nt from the surrounding world and reinforcing the human/nature divide. As a result\, our (mis)understandings of “nature” and “environment” may make us insensitive to and perpetuate\, rather than address\, climate change an d other environmental catastrophes. To avoid ambiguities and clarify our u nderstanding\, we must ask: what role does Nature play within our theories and practices concerning so-called Environmental Philosophy? Furthermore\ , what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broade n our understanding of “environment” to include a more robust conceptualiz ation of the natural world and how the human being ought to be contextuali zed within it?\nThis conference asks how we might reorient the language an d practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequately respon d to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “nature\,” and “environment\,” as wel l as the reciprocal relations that constitute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play in our attempts to construct\, under stand\, and preserve our environment(s). How should we make sense of our p ractices and our relations to those with whom we share our surroundings? H ow can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the rig ht tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond i tself—to literature\, architecture\, music\, film\, design—to better bring Environment\, and thus the world\, into view? In the spirit of this\, we invite paper as well as project submissions from current graduate students in any discipline.\nPossible Topics:\n● Environmental Aesthetics: Re-Considering Beauty + the Sublime\n● Environmental Justice + Rest orative Justice + Transformative Justice\n● Environmental Ethics + Sustainable Practices\n● Diversity + Biodiversity\n● Capital ism and Climate\n● Eco-phenomenology\n● Eco-deconstruction\n ● Environmental Racism/Racist Environments\n● Ecofeminist co nceptions of nature\n● Land Rights and Property Relations\n● Posthumanism + Object Ontologies\n● Afrofuturism + Technological U topias\n● Environmental Ethics In Narratives\n● Mastery of N ature in Philosophy\n● Anarcho-primitivism\n● Queer and Tran s Ecologies\n● Local and Global Ecologies\n● Regionalisms an d Globalisms in the Ecological Imagination\n \nConfirmed Conference Keynot es:\nSandra Shapshay\, CUNY Graduate Center\, New York\nEmanuele Coccia\, École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS)\, Paris\nDates and Lo cation:\nThis conference will be held at the New School for Social Researc h in New York City from Thursday\, April 14\, to Saturday\, April 16.

\nOne of philosophy’s original questio
ns still plagues us: to what extent are beings the same and to what extent
do they differ? Arising in thinkers as diverse as Parmenides\, Aquinas\,
and De Beauvoir and in arenas from social and political philosophy to phen
omenology and metaphysics. This conference aims to gather graduate student
scholars from a variety of specializations to discuss their work on ident
ity and difference. Some of the many questions we may pursue together are
the following:
What constitutes identity and difference? What make s someone who they are? How do we understand ourselves to be alike enough to communicate\, yet different enough that we must work to understand anot her’s point of view? How do identity and difference shape belonging–within a community\, within a social institution\, within a political structure? Similarly\, how do differences among the members of a group enrich the id entity of that collective? How might overlapping identities of an individu al give rise to one’s sense of self? How does identity inform a given grou p’s philosophical thought? How might one form their identity and sense of self when\, as in the case of many marginalized groups/ minorities\, the “ self” is oppressed?
\nThese questions additionally motivate ontologi cal considerations. To what extent can we describe two objects that are in fact identical? What grants an object’s or a person’s identity over time: metaphysical characteristics\, temporal continuity\, or certain brain sta tes? Upon what aspects of an entity do we predicate differences? When are two things metaphysically or logically identical? Are mereological composi tes more than the sum of their parts? Are they identical to matter? To wha t extent do beings differ from Being? How might experiences or acts of rea son help ground an identity claim such as A=A?

Crises of authority\, financia l meltdowns\, and environmental disasters compel us to look for alternativ e frameworks and practices. While the urgency of this claim is undeniable\ , the conceptual ground for the creation of new imaginaries and narratives is still unclear.

\\nThe New School for Social Research Philosophy Department is ho sting our annual Graduate Student Conference April 13-15th 2023 in person in New York City.

\nIt has become common for political theorist s and philosophers to insist on the necessity of new imaginaries and narra tives. Crises of authority\, financial meltdowns\, and environmental disas ters compel us to look for alternative frameworks and practices. While the urgency of this claim is undeniable\, the conceptual ground for the creat ion of new imaginaries and narratives is still unclear. How do we define i maginaries and narratives in relation to our political and social life? Ho w can they become normative and generate conceptual and practical shifts? And who is in a position to shape\, direct\, and take ownership of these e mergent conceptions?
\nThis conference focuses on the current debate on political imaginaries and narratives to investigate some of these ques tions. As a starting point\, we propose to challenge standard Marxist or e pistemological approaches to the topic that either interpret imaginaries a nd narratives as ideological projections (a product of false consciousness ) or merely as individual\, cognitive faculties. Rather\, we suggest think ing about imaginaries and narratives as larger sensuous and embodied pract ices that re-orient material structures of domination and allow for a refl ective rearticulation of collective demands. In particular\, we set out to clarify: the meaning of “imaginaries” and/or “narratives” as forms of sen se-making\; their ability to shift existing discourses and power relations \; the way in which they foster different ways of feeling\, seeing\, actin g-in\, and experiencing the world in a time of crisis\; the way in which t hey are embedded in artistic and literary practices\; and the way in which they address—or fail to address—marginalized subjects.
\nWe invite papers that focus on the concepts of “social imaginary” 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 o f these concepts can only emerge from attending to how they are practicall y embodied and situated in our practices. In this spirit\, we welcome\, in addition to papers aimed at conceptual clarification\, papers that provid e specific accounts of alternative forms of praxis\, including (but not li mited to) leftist\, feminist\, anti-racist\, decolonial\, abolitionist\, i ndigenous\, environmentalist\, and utopian imaginaries and narratives.
\nWe are accepting submissions of up to 4000 words. Pl ease also submit a brief academic bio.

Ideas about “ identity” and “difference” proliferate in the news media\, in higher educa tion\, in political disputations\, and in critical theories of society. C laims about “identity” and “difference” can readily be found at work in a wide variety of typologies\, including those of race\, class\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, religion\, nationality\, political affiliation\, abi lity and disability\, animality and humanity\, etc. But what exactly do w e mean when we speak of “identity” or “difference”? And if we achieve gre ater clarity about the metaphysical presuppositions and implications of “i dentity” and “difference\,” what difference would that make?
\nA ser ious metaphysical examination of “identity” and “difference” will expected ly generate a wide variety of questions. Is discourse about what is “iden tical” reducible to discourse about what is “the same”? Is discourse abou t what is “different” reducible to discourse about what is “other”? Can s omething be “the same” without being “identical\,” and can something be “o ther” without being “different”? When we speak about “being\,” does our s peaking about it have many different senses (is it spoken of analogically) \, or instead does our speaking about being always have the same sense (is it spoken of univocally)? Does the “identity” of a thing depend mainly o n the thing’s status as an individual\, or does it depend instead on the t hing’s membership in a general kind? Does an understanding of identity de pend on some reference to what is different? Or does an understanding of difference depend on some reference to identity? What is the relation of knowing to being: is it one of identity\, or difference\, or some combinat ion of both? Is it possible for a knower to discern real differences betw een things without discerning intelligible differences\, or does the indis cernibility of intelligible differences imply that there are no real diffe rences at all but rather an identity? Does difference depend on negation\ , or can one assert that there is difference without having to assert that something is “not”? Does it make sense to speak of an ontological differ ence\, i.e.\, a difference between Being and beings\, or is it senseless – maybe even useless – to speak of a difference between Being and beings? Is “being” different from “nothing\,” or is it possible for differences t o exist only among beings (in which case there apparently cannot be a diff erence between “being” and “nothing”)?
\nIn spite of the virtual ubi quity of discourses about identity and difference\, there is a dearth of d iscourse about the metaphysical presuppositions and implications of “ident ity and difference.” With its choice of conference theme for 2024 (“Ident ity\, Difference\, and the Difference that Metaphysics Makes”)\, the Metap hysical Society of America wishes to provoke deeper thinking about the met aphysics of identity and difference\, with the hope that such deeper think ing will make a meaningful difference in both theory and practice.
\nProposals for papers on the conference theme are especially encouraged\, but papers on other metaphysical topics are also welcome. Please note: wh en selecting which submissions to accept for this conference\, the Program Committee will regard “relevance to theme” as one important criterion amo ng others.

\n\n\n\n\nPolitical Con cepts: A Critical Lexicon began as a multidisciplinary\, web-based journal in which an assemblage of contributions focused on a single concept with the express intention of re-situating its meaning in the field of politica l discourse. By reflecting on what has remained unquestioned or unthought in that concept\, this all-around collection of essays seeks to open pathw ays for another future—one that is not already determined and ill-fated. p>\n
From this forum for engaged scholarship\, a succession of academic conferences have sprung as a space for conversation and constructive debat e\, including its Graduate Conference at the New School for Social Researc h organized by students of the Departments of Anthropology\, Economics\, P hilosophy\, Politics\, and Sociology. Political Concepts invites graduate students from all fields of study to participate in our upcoming conferenc e in Spring 2024. Held at NSSR over March 29-30\, the conference will serv e as a workshop of ideas on the multiplicity of powers\, structures\, prob lems\, and orientations that shape our collective life.
\nBecause Po litical Concepts does not predetermine what does or does not count as poli tical\, the conference welcomes essays that fashion new political concepts or demonstrate how concepts deserve to be taken as politically significan t. Papers should be dedicated to a single political concept\, like an ency clopedia entry\, but the analysis of the concept does not have to abide to traditional approaches. Some of the concepts contended with in previous y ears’ vibrant conferences included abolition\, survival\, catastrophe\, re sentment\, money\, dependence\, trans\, imaginary\, and solidarity. Other examples can be found in the published papers on the Political Concepts we bsite.
\nAbstracts should be no longer than 750 words in a pdf forma t\, and prepared for blind review\, so please ensure that your abstract is free from any identifying personal details. Please title your abstract wi th your concept.

However\, a growing skepticism towards the notion of progre ss emerged in 20th Century thought\, intensified particularly by the criti cal insights of philosophers such as Adorno\, Lyotard and Derrida. In more recent studies\, some decolonial philosophers have problematized or rejec ted the idea of progress\, whereas other philosophers associated with the Frankfurt school (Habermas\, Honneth\, Forst) have defended it.
\nTh is conference will provide a platform to examine\, debate\, and reevaluate the concept of progress along with its meaning\, its challenges\, and its potential for shaping a more promising future against our contemporary ba ckdrop of global challenges. We invite graduate students in philosophy to submit abstracts that explore the “Possibility of Progress” through the af orementioned frameworks and any other relevant discourse. We welcome your participation and look forward to your contributions.
\nPossible top ics may include\, but are not limited to:

\nMaking Space for Justi
ce: Social Movements\, Collective Imagination\, and Political Hope
\nby Michele M Moody-Adams
From 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 ical and practical principles. Social justice demands humane regard for ot hers\, combining compassionate concern and robust respect. Successful move ments have drawn on the transformative power of imagination\, strengthenin g the motivation to pursue justice and to create the political institution s 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 t hought as well as for political activism.

Abstract:
It 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 existing order.
\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 \, justice and democracy – the Left – can provide the coordinates for an e thical life under conditions of global injustice.
\nAppealing to phi losophical ideas on the essence of language\, Matar shows how the ethos of the Left\, as it has evolved over years\, underlies and gradually forms t he basis for ethics.
\nStruggles against slavery\, racism\, coloniza tion and militarization\, protests against exploitation and the capitalist order\, the feminist movement\, global demands for climate action – all t hese are primarily motivated by a deep understanding of Left heritage rath er than by abstract ethical requirements or by airy sensitivities. They\, in turn\, shape and reshape our notion of moralit

\nWe imagine that we are both in control of a
nd controlled by our bodies—autonomous and yet automatic. This entanglemen
t\, according to David W. Bates\, emerged in the seventeenth century when
humans first built and compared themselves with machines. Reading varied t
hinkers from Descartes to Kant to Turing\, Bates reveals how time and time
again technological developments offered new ways to imagine how the body
’s automaticity worked alongside the mind’s autonomy. Tracing these evolvi
ng lines of thought\, David Bates discusses his new book\, An Artifici
al History of Natural Intelligence\, which offers a new theorization
of the human as a being that is dependent on technology and produces itsel
f as an artificial automaton without a natural\, outside origin.
\nDavid Bates is Professor of Rhetoric at the University of C
alifornia Berkeley. His research focuses on the history of legal and polit
ical ideas\, and the relationship between technology\, science\, and the h
istory of human cognition.
Stefanos Geroulanos is the Director of the Remarque Institute and Professor of European Intellec tual History at NYU. He usually writes about concepts that weave together modern understandings of time\, the human\, and the body. His new book is a history of the concepts\, images\, and sciences of human origins since 1 770\, forthcoming from Liveright Press as The Invention of Prehistory: Empire\, Violence\, and Our Obsession with Human Origins in 2024.
\nJoanna Stalnaker is Professor of F rench at Columbia. She works on Enlightenment philosophy and literature\, with a recent interest in how women shaped the Enlightenment. Her new book \, The Rest Is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death\, will be published by Yale University Press in the Walpole series.
\n div>\nWhat does it mean to be\, appear\, and act in public? These questions are rarely asked when it comes to the often-diagnosed “structural transformation” (Habermas ) of the public sphere. Yet people have a wide variety of “public experien ces” every day: from the simple experience of leaving the house and moving on the street to highly networked and technologically mediated public com munication 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 approach. In this way\, I wan t to reclaim public space as an experiential space and argue that experien ces matter for the constitution of different kinds of public spheres and p ublic spaces.
\nHow\, for example\, do phenomena like visibility\, a ttention\, relevance\, reality\, trust\, or their opposites emerge in publ ic contexts? And how can our individual and collective experiences of the public retain its high democratic ideals while facing the constant threat of superficial entertainment and self-commercialization? In contrast to th eories that view the public sphere primarily as a system of information\, coordination\, or discourse\, a phenomenological approach aims to reveal t he ways in which experiences constitute spaces of meaning. Such a disclosu re of the world-building function of experience is crucial if we are to un derstand how people can relate to their public existence and a public worl d\, how they can integrate into it or fall away from it\, gain or lose tru st\, and how a shared world is either built or destroyed.
