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.
\nPossible Topics:
\n● Environmental Aesthetics: Re-Considering Beauty + the Sublim e
\n● Environmental Justice + Restorative Justice + Transform ative Justice
\n● Environmental Ethics + Sustainable Practice s
\n● Diversity + Biodiversity
\n● Capitalism an d Climate
\n● Eco-phenomenology
\n● Eco-deconstr uction
\n● Environmental Racism/Racist Environments
\n● Ecofeminist conceptions of nature
\n● Land Rights and Property Relations
\n● Posthumanism + Object Ontologies
\n● Afrofuturism + Technological Utopias
\n● Enviro nmental Ethics In Narratives
\n● Mastery of Nature in Philoso phy
\n● Anarcho-primitivism
\n● Queer and Trans Ecologies
\n● Local and Global Ecologies
\n● Reg ionalisms and Globalisms in the Ecological Imagination

\nRutgers Wo rkshop on Chinese Philosophy (RWCP) was launched in 2012. It is d esigned to build a bridge between Chinese philosophy and Western analytic philosophy and to promote critical engagement and constructive dialogue be tween the two sides\, with the hope of bringing the study of Chinese philo sophy into the mainstream of philosophical discourse within the Western ac ademy. It is run every other year\, usually in late spring.

Susan Neiman develops in Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosop hy (2002\, Princeton: Princeton University Press) a watershed perspec tive on the longstanding problem of evil\, the perniciously difficult to s atisfy “need to find order within those appearances so unbearable that the y threaten reason’s ability to go on.” The book thereby also presents a ra dically new perspective on traditional debates within metaphysics. On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary\, we gather to celebrate her accompl ishment and to advance the research program it reflects. Participants will include\, in addition to Neiman herself: Annalise Acorn\, Frederick Beise r\, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer\, Omri Boehm\, Dan Brudney\, Caroline Bynum\, Lor raine Daston\, Michael Della Rocca\, Wendy Doniger\, Wolfram Ellenberger\, John Faithful Hamer\, Carey Harrison\, Patricia Kitcher\, Philip Kitcher\ , Christia Mercer\, Cornel West\, Allen Wood\, and James Wood.

\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?
\nOther questions bro adly related to “Identity and Difference” are also welcome.

\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.

Join 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\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:

Claims about “identity” and “difference” can readil y be found at work in a wide variety of typologies\, including those of ra ce\, class\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, religion\, nationality\, pol itical affiliation\, ability and disability\, animality and humanity\, etc .

Does the “identity” of a thin g depend mainly on the thing’s status as an individual\, or does it depend instead on the thing’s membership in a general kind? Does an understandi ng of identity depend 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 combination of both? Is it possible for a knower to discern real differences between things without discerning intelligible differences\, or does the indiscernibility of intelligible differences imply that there are no real differences at all but rather an identity? Does difference de pend on negation\, or can one assert that there is difference without havi ng to assert that something is “not”? Does it make sense to speak of an o ntological difference\, i.e.\, a difference between Being and beings\, or is it senseless – maybe even useless – to speak of a difference between B eing and beings?

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”?

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.

\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.

Khader (CUNY)\, Dr. Michael Baur (Fordham)\nBeginning i n 18th Century Europe\, the idea of progress emerged as a central theme in philosophy\, finding its clearest expression in thinkers like Kant\, Hege l and Marx. However\, a growing skepticism towards the notion of progress emerged in 20th Century thought\, intensified particularly by the critical insights of philosophers such as Adorno\, Lyotard and Derrida.

\nKeynotes: Dr. Serene J. Khader (CUNY)\, Dr. Michael Baur (Fordham)
\nBeginnin g in 18th Century Europe\, the idea of progress emerged as a central theme in philosophy\, finding its clearest expression in thinkers like Kant\, H egel and Marx. 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.

The metaphysics can place demands on the proper formulations of physical theories. It is sometimes assumed t hat the governing view requires a fundamental / intrinsic direction of tim e: to govern\, laws must be dynamical\, producing later states of the worl d from earlier ones\, in accord with the fundamental direction of time in the universe. In this paper\, we propose a minimal primitivism about laws of nature (MinP) according to which there is no such requirement. On our v iew\, laws govern by constraining the physical possibilities. Our view cap tures the essence of the governing view without taking on extraneous commi tments about the direction of time or dynamic production. Moreover\, as a version of primitivism\, our view requires no reduction / analysis of laws in terms of universals\, powers\, or dispositions. Our view accommodates several potential candidates for fundamental laws\, including the principl e of least action\, the Past Hypothesis\, the Einstein equation of general relativity\, and even controversial examples found in the Wheeler-Feynman theory of electrodynamics and retro-causal theories of quantum mechanics. By understanding governing as constraining\, non-Humeans who accept MinP have the same freedom to contemplate a wide variety of candidate fundament al laws as Humeans do.
\nThe talk will take place over Zoom. I will send out the Zoom link closer to the meeting.

Robert Stern (University of Sh effield) will be giving a talk entitled\, “Found or Sought? Hegel vs MacIn tyre on the Good Life and the Virtues.” Please note that the talk will tak e place at The New School\, Room M104 (The Bark Room)\, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center is on the southwest cor ner of 5th ave and 13th street)
\nTo attend the talk in person you w ill need to be up-to-date with vaccinations and boosters and set up a C LEAR Health Pass account in advance. Directions for visitor access are below.
\nThe event has been organized by the Wittgenstein Worksh op.
\nAbstract: This paper draws a contrast between Hegel and MacIntyre\, treating both as post-Kantian perfectionists. The claim i s that while Hegel treats the good life as something found\, and to be imp lemented in the rational state\, MacIntyre treats it as something to be so ught. This difference\, it is argued\, is reflected in their respective ac counts of the virtues: for Hegel\, the key virtue becomes rectitude\, wher eas for MacIntyre a wider range of virtues is required\, to make this ques t for the good achievable. Using the characters of Walt and Travis from Paris\, Texas to illustrate the argument\, it is suggested that the M acIntyrean option is to be preferred.
\nGuests and visitors must be up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccinations\, including a booster when eligible.
\nBeginning Monday\, August 15\, The New School will use CLEAR’S Health Pass\, an online tool t hat safely and simply verifies proof of COVID-19 vaccination\, to issue gu est passes. The CLEAR Health Pass replaces on-site manual vaccination c hecking and physical guest passes. CLEAR accounts should be set up in advance of arrival on campus and will remain active for a month\, requirin g only a selfie to reactivate. Details and instructions about creating and setting up a CLEAR account can be found on our websit e.

\nIt is a fundamental tenet of Hobbes’s political theory that all people are equal in the state of nature\, women included\; yet he makes reference to the ge neral superiority of men as regards physical strength\, courage\, wit\, an d suitability for rule.
\nHobbes denies the naturalness\, inevitabil ity\, and godliness of patriarchy\, and he even argues for natural materna l right\; however\, he describes families in civil societies in terms of f athers ruling over their servants and children—leaving women out of the pi cture altogether.
\nHis texts are peppered with various offhan d comments\, allusions\, and intimations about women and sexuality more ge nerally\, many of which are provocative and undeveloped.

Book panel: Anat Matar\, The Poverty of Ethics (Verso books 2022)

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.

The 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.

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.

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 nd the reader’s access to the dialogue’s mysteries.

He imagined an institute “in which philosophers\, sociologists\, econom ists\, historians\, and psychologists are brought together in permanent co llaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institute would not work with a si ngle theory but would let data lead to new hypotheses (Horkheimer 1993\, 1 0). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues rarely lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically grounded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s his tory of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialectic of Enlightenment\, with c urrent research on the development of early human cultures by Richard Wran gham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Joseph Henrich and Cecilia Hey es. The comparison with recent research in anthropology\, sociology\, phil osophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of the deep conceptual commitm ents that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current approaches jointly suggest tha t human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded\; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; that learning occurs in cont ext through imitation\; and that customs and institutions develop continge ntly and by accident through processes of cooperation and collaboration. T hese new insights invite a radical re-thinking of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The resulting picture of enviro nmentally embedded process of cultural evolution is a first step towards r evitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of the early Frankfurt School\ , and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\, and sustainable routes suc h critique can take in the 21st century.

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.

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).

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).

\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
ting objects of knowledge\, as opposed to acknowledging us as interlocutor
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
deal philosopher’s critical concept of idealization\, seen aright in a nor
matively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the sort of theoretical resource
that is mobilized by members of marginalized groups to invite such modes o
f attention – to shape not only our epistemic resources\, but also our sen
ses of what matters.

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 e xplain what connects this past and the present. Are we talking about one r acism with many different past and present forms? Or are there multiple ra cisms that only share some similar features? In this talk\, I draw attenti on to how these divisions play out particularly in contemporary Black Stud ies and argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resources for thinking about these questions through his discussions of repetition. I argue that understanding our conversations about structural racism and history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to bett er understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate fo rms 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.

bertpippinbresson. TBA In the final
part of The Human Condition (1958) Hannah Arendt turns to the dan
ger of ‘world- alienation’. Based on a variety of discoveries and evolutio
ns that are constitutive of modernity (globalization\, Protestantism\, the
invention of the telescope)\, modern man has adopted an Archimedean\, ext
ernal position vis-à-vis the world. According to Arendt\, this ‘view from
without’ has gradually jeopardized the experience of a shared world\, end
angering the foundation of all meaning-giving activities. My talk
can be considered as a reply to Arendt’s pessimistic account of modern ‘wo
rld-alienation’. It builds on the idea that some of the most influential t
hinkers of the twentieth century (Ernst Jünger\, Georg Lukács\, Ernst Bl
och\, Theodor Adorno\, Walter Benjamin\, Aby Warburg\, Sigmund Freud) did
not equate the loss of a shared world with the loss of meaning. Rather\, t
he conceptual framework of a substantial part of early twentieth century G
erman philosophy centers on the exploration of a productive opposition\, n
egation or fragmentation of the world. From the perspective of these think
ers\, the world’s ‘durability’ (Arendt) is not simply a source of shared m
eaning since it can be experienced as the mark of its indifference to chan
ge and renewal. Bio: Stéphane Symons is F

stephanesymons. TBA What 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. How\, 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.
