Since Plato\, western philosophy has been set down a path pave d by a disavowal of the sensuous\, bracketed material bodies\, and delimit ed aesthetic conceptions\, leaving human beings and their built environmen ts separated from the natural world. Such exclusions have left philosophy ill-equipped to deal with the various environmental crises we currently fa ce\, as economic rationality and utilitarian logic further de-animate the world and sharpen the human/nature distinction. Even the concept “environm ent” often\, and ironically\, brings with it implicit anthropocentric assu mptions\, conceptualizing\, and thereby separating\, the human as independ ent 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 a nd other environmental catastrophes. To avoid ambiguities and clarify our understanding\, we must ask: what role does Nature play within our theorie s and practices concerning so-called Environmental Philosophy? Furthermore \, what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broad en our understanding of “environment” to include a more robust conceptuali zation of the natural world and how the human being ought to be contextual ized within it?
\nThis conference asks how we might reorient the lan guage and practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequatel y respond to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propos e a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “nature\,” and “environment\, ” as well as the reciprocal relations that constitute them. To recognize h umans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the materia l\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play in our attempts to construct \, understand\, and preserve our environment(s). How should we make sense of our practices and our relations to those with whom we share our surroun dings? How can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the right tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond itself—to literature\, architecture\, music\, film\, design—to bett er bring Environment\, and thus the world\, into view? In the spirit of th is\, we invite paper as well as project submissions from current graduate students in any discipline.

\nThe Center fo r Philosophy of Religion at Rutgers University is pleased to host an in-pe rson\, working-papers conference on the Psychology and Epistemology of Rel igious Experience. We are seeking abstracts (150-350 words) from those int erested in participating. The tentative date is 15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Participants with accepted su bmissions will be given hotel accommodations and a modest honorarium to he lp defray travel costs.
\nTheme
\nThe overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign religious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious beliefs. But religious exp eriences of the kind philosophers are interested in are also studied in ot her fields as well\, such as psychology and religious studies. However\, t he psychology and epistemology of religious experiences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely to be insightful in variou s ways. To that end\, we are interested in bringing together scholars work ing on the psychology and epistemology of religious experiences. Potential topics include:
\n· The nature of religious experiences
\n· Taxonomies of religious experiences
\n· Potential p sychological mechanisms and accounts of religious experience
\n· The relation between perception and religious experiences
\n· The epistemology of religious experience
\n· The interactio ns between the psychology and epistemology of religious experience
\n· The relation of cognitive science of religion to religious experi ence
\nAny proposed papers on these topics\, or similar ones\, are w elcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary approaches are also welcome.
\nInstructions
\nPlease submit an abstract (150-350 words )\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full paper to Timothy Perrine at tp654@scarletm ail.rutgers.edu. Submission should be prepared for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, institutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information. Submission deadline is 28 February \; acceptances will be decided by 5 March\; and the workshop will be held 15-16 April.

By reflecting on what has remained un questioned or unthought in that concept\, this all-around collection of es says seeks to open pathways for another future—one that is not already det ermined and ill-fated.\nFrom this forum for engaged scholarship\, a succes sion of academic conferences have sprung as a space for conversation and c onstructive debate\, including its Graduate Conference at the New School f or Social Research organized by students of the Departments of Anthropolog y\, Economics\, Philosophy\, Politics\, and Sociology. Political Concepts invites graduate students from all fields of study to participate in our u pcoming conference in Spring 2024. Held at NSSR over March 29-30\, the con ference will serve as a workshop of ideas on the multiplicity of powers\, structures\, problems\, and orientations that shape our collective life.\n Because Political Concepts does not predetermine what does or does not cou nt as political\, the conference welcomes essays that fashion new politica l concepts or demonstrate how concepts deserve to be taken as politically significant. Papers should be dedicated to a single political concept\, li ke an encyclopedia entry\, but the analysis of the concept does not have t o abide to traditional approaches. Some of the concepts contended with in previous years’ vibrant conferences included abolition\, survival\, catast rophe\, resentment\, money\, dependence\, trans\, imaginary\, and solidari ty. Other examples can be found in the published papers on the Political C oncepts website.\nAbstracts should be no longer than 750 words in a pdf fo rmat\, and prepared for blind review\, so please ensure that your abstract is free from any identifying personal details. Please title your abstract with your concept.

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.

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

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.

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 ion and collaboration.
