In t he first place\, there is a conventional ground war between Russia and Ukr aine\, in which the identity and will of the two peoples is at stake. Yet Russia has used weapons supplied by Iran\, and Ukraine depends on NATO for its own supplies\, indicating that this war depends on the maintenance an d expansion of alliances. The stability of these alliances in turn depends on a combination of Realpolitik and shared values as the glue that holds them together. This logic of alliances motivates the energy war that Russi a is waging with Europe\, revealing that\, unbeknownst to Europe\, Russian energy policy over the last decade was an early form of the war. Similarl y\, the threat of nuclear war also tests the resolve of NATO\, forcing it to consider the values at stake in the conflict. Is the war about Ukraine’ s sovereignty or the principle of nation-state sovereignty itself? Is it a bout human rights for Ukrainians or the entire human rights project? For R ussia\, is it about self-defense or a pan-Slavic identity? Is it about the protection of Russian minorities in Ukraine or the threat of Western secu larization?\nThe material form of the war—economic\, conventional\, nuclea r—will depend on the way in which the participants on all sides and in all parts of the world come to an understanding about these questions concern ing the moral and spiritual stakes in the war. If it is just a matter of g iving up Ukraine\, then the economic costs for Europe may not be worth the fight\, and Russia’s victory in the energy war could lead to a general NA TO capitulation. But if the freedom and security of central and western Eu rope are also at stake\, then even a severe economic recession would be a small price to pay for the reestablishment of a NATO-dominated security or der. Is freedom worth the risk of annihilation? Is peace worth the indigni ties and repression of authoritarianism? As the most serious global confli ct since World War II\, the war in Ukraine risks going beyond the bounds o f all other forms of war before it. What are the resources that are necess ary for meeting its challenges? How can the shifting forms of the war be c ontained and channeled toward a future lasting peace?\nThese types of ques tions are not specific to the war in Ukraine but arise in any situation of war. Every war forces us to reconsider the character of war and the forms that it can take. In the first place\, the insight that leads to a war is one about the nature of a conflict. War only begins once the parties dete rmine that there is an otherwise irresolvable conflict about the basis of order. The course of a war also results in a practical insight into the fo rm of a postwar order. Peace and stability cannot arrive until all come to an agreement about the new understanding of order. This intertwining of p ractical and theoretical gains means that the time of war is also a time o f shifting manifestations of the forms by which war is fought\, as well as the forms of order to be established by the outcome of the war. The cours e of a war will be decided by our understanding of the kind of world we wa nt to live in\, the risks we are willing to take to establish such a world \, and our belief in its practical possibility. A war will necessarily cha nge in form depending upon where we are in the movement from the conflict of competing ideas to the victory of a particular conception of order. Sin ce the result of the conflict would be an establishment of sovereignty bas ed on some understanding of order\, the conflict is not just a material on e but also a theoretical and spiritual one about the metaphysical basis of order. In the process of war\, insight leads to conflict\, and conflict l eads to insight.\nAt the 2023 Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference on f orms of war\, we will consider different ways of understanding the relatio nship between conflict and insight in war as well as examples of how the c onceptualization of conflict affects the outbreak\, progress\, and outcome of wars. On the one hand\, we will consider the way in which the experien ce of war\, both on the battlefield and on the home front\, affects the ou tcome of the war. On the other hand\, we will look at how this importance of the experience of war in turn affects the strategy of war. Such strateg izing begins already at the nascent stages of conflict\, before any actual fighting begins\, but in which the possibility of conflict can already le ad to concessions by one side or the other that lead to a transformation o f the basis of order. Similarly\, fears and hopes for the future also dete rmine the course of a war\, helping the participants to end a war by offer ing them a mutually acceptable vision of the terms of peace.\nQuestions in clude:\n\nWhat are the different causes of war in any particular case? How do these causes attain such significance that they become a casus belli? Were there alternatives to war that were not taken?\nIn what situations do es the refusal of war lead to an outcome that is tantamount to surrender i n war? How can the threat of war be used as a political tool?\nTo what ext ent is war a continuation of politics? Or is war the breakdown of politics ?\nHow have different wars been experienced on the battlefield and on the home front? How have the different experiences of war affected the outcome s?\nHow does our understanding of world order affect the turn to war?\nWha t is the relationship between war and peace in terms of international orde r?\nHow do fictional or historical representations of war affect the condu ct of war?\nWhat is the relationship between war and the collective identi ty of a people?\nHow are wars between nation-states linked to their domest ic politics? In what situations does an external enemy create unity or div ision in domestic politics?\nHow is war used as a tool in domestic politic s\, for instance\, as a way to divert attention from domestic political pr oblems?\nWhat are the characteristics of different types of war\, such as limited war\, absolute war\, civil war\, cold war\, proxy war\, phony war\ , trade war\, guerilla war\, war on terror\, nuclear war? What factors lea d to a war being fought in a particular way?\nTo what extent can a represe ntation of war replace a real war\, for instance\, when single combat is s upposed to substitute for the combat of armies\, or when war is televised? \nWhat is the relationship between spiritual concerns and the forms of war ? Are all wars in some sense religious wars?\n\nConference Location\nThe c onference will take place at the John D. Calandra Italian American Institu te in New York City from Thursday\, March 30\, to Saturday\, April 1\, 202 3.\nAbstract Submissions\nPlease note: Abstracts for this conference will only be accepted from current Telos-Paul Piccone Institute members.

\nTitl e: Kripkean Necessities\, Imaginative Kripke Puzzles\, and Semant ic Transparency
\nAbstract: Kripke (1980) famously argued that some a posteriori statements are necessary when true. I begin by exploring an unusual technique to try to learn these necessities merely through imagination that I call “Semantic Imaginative Transfer”. I explor e an idealized instance of this technique which I suggest leads to an imag inative variant of Kripke’s (1979) puzzle about belief. I note that on som e widespread assumptions (including that propositional idiom can be mainta ined in the face of Kripke puzzles)\, the idealized example restricts the space for accommodating Kripkean necessities to two families of views: fam iliar\, broadly Guise-Theoretic approaches to propositional attitudes\, an d unconventional and largely unexplored views embracing semantic transpare ncy principles. I briefly review some of the history of transparency princ iples\, make some conjectures as to why they went out of fashion following the work of semantic externalists (including Kripke)\, and make a plea fo r exploring the consequences of their adoption. Along the way I note the s ignificance of doing so: the transparency principles render Kripkean neces sities a priori.
