\nIs feminism in crisis? Recently\, in the United States and abroad\, historic events rendered ever more preca rious the lives and well-being of people marginalized by their sex\, gende r\, race\, and class\, often in complexly intersecting and regionally spec ific ways. The rise of right-wing populism transnationally and attacks on reproductive rights\, for example\, exacerbate the challenges feminists co nfront. At the same time\, as external conditions shift\, feminism’s own f aultlines continue to deepen. Feminism’s rising trans-exclusionary conting ent\, certain feminists’ hesitancy to reckon with complicity in racial and colonial violence\, and the ongoing cooptation of feminism by neoliberali sm signal serious internal fractures.
\nAs feminism faces external a nd internal pressures\, how can philosophy help us understand this moment of potential crisis and what\, if anything\, can philosophy do to address it? To devise answers to these urgent questions\, we welcome contributions that focus on:
\n1. The relation between feminism and philosoph y\, including how feminism should intervene in philosophical debates\, and how philosophy should intervene in feminist debates\;
\n2. Ques tions concerning the nature and practice of gender\, sex\, sexuality\, rac e\, class\, and disability that draw on feminist literatures or methodolog ies\;
\n3. Perspectives that integrate different feminist tradit ions to build intersectional and transnational feminist coalitions\;
\n4. Analyses of discourses on sex\, gender\, sexuality\, race\, clas s\, and disability in media\, law\, and the sciences\;
\n5. Tran slating feminist views on sex\, gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, and di sability into public policy and social advocacy.
\nWe welcome contri butions from scholars working in philosophy and who draw on a variety of d isciplinary perspectives. Scholars of all identities\, especially those fr om groups underrepresented and/or marginalized in academia\, are encourage d to submit contributions.
\nPlease send anonymized abstracts of up to 500 words to cunygc.philosophy.conference@gmail.com\, along with any q uestions you may have. The deadline for submissions is September 7th.

\nThe event w ill take place from 3 pm to 6 pm on October 14 and from 9 am to 5 pm on Oc tober 15. The registration rate is $100 for both days and includes a recep tion on October 14 and lunch on October 15. Click here to register for the e vent.
\nIn the last fifteen years\, the discussion of class has shifted with the rise of the Tea Party and then T rumpism in the United States. Whereas the notion of class used to be a lef t-wing category championed by socialists\, Marxists\, and anarchists\, the critique of class division has now shifted to right-wing denunciations of the managerial class. This shift toward a populist politics targeting the new class has long been a topic of discussion in Telos\, startin g with the classic 1975 essay by Alvin Gouldner “Prologue to a Theory of Revolutionary Intellectuals” (in Telos 26) and continuing through Paul Piccone’s work in the early 1990s in essays such as “The Crisis of Liberalism an d the Emergence of Federal Populism” (in Telos 89) and “Postmodern Populism” (in Telos 10 3). A search of the Telos archive will uncover literally hundre ds of essays that address various aspects of this issue. The recent popula rizing of the critique of the new class has led to a conflict between the liberal pursuit of redistributive policies and the expansion of the welfar e state\, on the one hand\, and the populist attempt to disempower governm ental managerial elites and dismantle the welfare state\, on the other han d. How is the underlying notion of class being defined by the different pa rties to this debate? What are the political possibilities\, both on the l eft and on the right\, that can emerge from the conflict? Is this conflict leading to a new kind of civil war\, or can we envision new solutions?
\nIn addition to engaging with these que stions\, our event will feature Telos editors\, who will discuss the past and current trajectories of Telos as well as Telos em> 200\, devoted to the place of truth at the university.
\nTelos has always had a conflicted relation ship with universities. On the one hand\, university academics have consti tuted the primary audience and contributors to Telos. On the othe r hand\, Telos has always maintained a distance from university s tructures\, precisely because of the tie between universities and the mana gerial class\, and previous special issues in Telos 81 and Telos 11 1 have attempted to address this problem.
\nToday\, the situation of universities has become more dire than ever. Trapped between the pressure to provide job training on the one hand and political advocacy on the other hand\, the idea of a search for truth sounds hopelessly naive as a description of the task of colleges and univ ersities today. Matching the shift of our society toward technocratic and managerial solutions to problems\, the natural and social sciences have be come recognized authorities based on their claim to being scientific. Yet the authority of “science” is misleading in the sense that science never h as straightforward answers but relies on a method of constant questioning. Science itself cannot be counted on to make policy decisions but can only provide relevant information for decision makers. Recent pieces in Te losScope by Russell Berman and Mat hieu Slama address this issue by looking at the way pandemic policies were dominated by an ideology of “following the science” that amounted to an abdication of democratic decision-making.
\nMeanwhile\, university discussion and debate about decision-makin g\, traditionally the place of the humanities and social sciences\, have b een suppressed in favor of a focus on political engagement. The range of p erspectives available for discussion has been reduced\, to the exclusion o f those views that might challenge the technocratic bias and the reduction of politics to identity politics that have become dominant at universitie s.
\nThis narrowing of perspectives ha s also undermined the research project of the university. The exclusion of relevant perspectives in university debates has degraded the peer review process in the social sciences and the humanities\, maintaining an orthodo xy that favors the reinforcement of previously held views rather than the challenging of such views. Such research can then be cited as the “scienti fic” basis for a set of policy prescriptions that have been agreed upon in advance. Where Max Weber once lamented the transformation of the lecture hall into a pulpit\, it is difficult today for academics to avoid the pres sure to either conform to a particular political perspective or\, in rejec ting such politicization\, to be forced into an “obstructionist” camp.
\nIn the midst of these developments\, what is the status of the idea o f truth? Will truth necessarily remain subordinate to politics? How might the search for truth remain a focus of colleges and universities?
\nIn addressing these questions\, the 200th issue of Telos features contributions by Joseph W. Bendersky\, Russell Berman\, Valerie J. D’Erma n\, J. E. Elliott\, Wayne Hudson\, Michael Hüther\, Mark G. E. Kelly\, Tim Luke\, Richard T. Marcy\, Greg Melleuish\, David Pan\, Susanna Rizzo\, an d David Westbrook.

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?

In the first place\, there is a conventional ground war between Russia a nd Ukraine\, 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 NA TO for its own supplies\, indicating that this war depends on the maintena nce and expansion of alliances. The stability of these alliances in turn d epends on a combination of Realpolitik and shared values as the g lue that holds them together. This logic of alliances motivates the energy war that Russia is waging with Europe\, revealing that\, unbeknownst to E urope\, Russian energy policy over the last decade was an early form of th e war. Similarly\, the threat of nuclear war also tests the resolve of NAT O\, 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 about human rights for Ukrainians or the entire human rights project? For Russia\, 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 secularization?
\nThe mater ial form of the war—economic\, conventional\, nuclear—will depend on the w ay in which the participants on all sides and in all parts of the world co me to an understanding about these questions concerning the moral and spir itual stakes in the war. If it is just a matter of giving up Ukraine\, the n the economic costs for Europe may not be worth the fight\, and Russia’s victory in the energy war could lead to a general NATO capitulation. But i f the freedom and security of central and western Europe 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 order. Is freedom worth the risk of annihilation? Is peace worth the indignities and repression of authoritarianism? As the most serious global conflict since World War II\ , the war in Ukraine risks going beyond the bounds of all other forms of w ar before it. What are the resources that are necessary for meeting its ch allenges? How can the shifting forms of the war be contained and channeled toward a future lasting peace?
\nThes e types of questions are not specific to the war in Ukraine but arise in a ny situation of war. Every war forces us to reconsider the character of wa r and the forms that it can take. In the first place\, the insight that le ads to a war is one about the nature of a conflict. War only begins once t he parties determine that there is an otherwise irresolvable conflict abou t the basis of order. The course of a war also results in a practical insi ght into the form of a postwar order. Peace and stability cannot arrive un til all come to an agreement about the new understanding of order. This in tertwining of practical and theoretical gains means that the time of war i s also a time of shifting manifestations of the forms by which war is foug ht\, as well as the forms of order to be established by the outcome of the war. The course of a war will be decided by our understanding of the kind of world we want to live in\, the risks we are willing to take to establi sh such a world\, and our belief in its practical possibility. A war will necessarily change in form depending upon where we are in the movement fro m the conflict of competing ideas to the victory of a particular conceptio n of order. Since the result of the conflict would be an establishment of sovereignty based on some understanding of order\, the conflict is not jus t a material one but also a theoretical and spiritual one about the metaph ysical basis of order. In the process of war\, insight leads to conflict\, and conflict leads to insight.
\nAt t he 2023 Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference on forms of war\, we will consider different ways of understanding the relationship between conflict and insight in war as well as examples of how the conceptualization of co nflict affects the outbreak\, progress\, and outcome of wars. On the one h and\, we will consider the way in which the experience of war\, both on th e battlefield and on the home front\, affects the outcome of the war. On t he other hand\, we will look at how this importance of the experience of w ar in turn affects the strategy of war. Such strategizing begins already a t the nascent stages of conflict\, before any actual fighting begins\, but in which the possibility of conflict can already lead to concessions by o ne side or the other that lead to a transformation of the basis of order. Similarly\, fears and hopes for the future also determine the course of a war\, helping the participants to end a war by offering them a mutually ac ceptable vision of the terms of peace.

Yet our own democratic political orders across the West consistently fail to deliver the desiderata they promise to provide. Does this failure arise in part from the theoretical insufficiency of conventional diagnoses of democracy’s challenges and ills? As the primaries for the 2024 U.S. pr esidential election open\, we invite participants to consider critically t he status of democracy with an eye toward the concerns that have defined T elos over its 55-year history.\nThe main advantage of democracy over other political forms is that\, by allowing broader participation in decision-m aking\, it prevents domination of the many by the few. In theory\, it also fosters decision-making that is comparatively effective and meaningful by allowing views and information from the many to be communicated efficient ly to political leaders\, while also holding the latter to account for the ir actions. At the same time\, a major difficulty of democracy is that the rule by the many requires some procedure for translating a multitude of o pinions into unified decisions and action. In addition\, precisely by exer cising its majority will\, the many can trammel the integrity of the indiv idual—the key threat that liberalism seeks to hold at bay.\nThese advantag es—and\, especially\, these challenges—have produced two competing visions of democracy in the contemporary West. Their division reflects difference s about the politics of representation and decision-making. On one hand\, liberals view democracy as the following of appropriate procedures for cha nneling the opinions of the multitude through the election of representati ves. On the other hand\, populists might disregard such procedural restric tions to arrive at outcomes that are acclaimed by the people directly.\nWh ile both sides nod to the importance of the popular will\, both are in fac t willing to denigrate it. The liberal camp reacts in horror when democrat ic elections result in the election of populists\, who are said to lack pr oper governing expertise\, as in the 2016 victory of Donald Trump. The pop ulist camp charges conspiracy when electoral results fail to reflect their own conception of the people’s will\, as in Trump’s reaction to his 2020 ouster. Depending on which camp is describing the times\, the false mediat or of popular will is either the demagogue or the bureaucrat—Telos has lon g opposed both.\nDifferent narratives\, in turn\, have taken hold about de mocracy’s present challenges. From the point of view of the liberal proced uralist critique of demagogues\, the means of moving from a multiplicity o f opinions to a unified decision inevitably involves discourse within a pu blic sphere. This discourse depends on a common understanding of historica l facts\, as well as a public sphere that allows different perspectives to face each other in debate. In our contemporary world\, however\, the brea kdown of previous limits to accessing the public sphere has led to an inab ility to arrive at a consensus on the difference between fact and fiction\ , as well as an increasing tendency of citizens to exist within a social m edia echo chamber of their own views\, undermining the common ground that a public sphere presupposes.\nAt the same time\, public debate necessarily implicates values and identities that have an ultimately mythic basis tha t cannot be rationally determined. People’s opinions\, moreover\, are inva riably shaped by leaders as much as the people shape what leaders ought to do. Experts lament how this representational dynamic undermines the proce dures that govern and channel the representation of the popular will. Yet the narrative aspect of representation is an ineradicable element of the w ay in which the popular will coalesces. The process of narrativized repres entation will never be an entirely rational one\, and the prominence of me dia personalities such as Reagan\, Trump\, and Zelensky as politicians und erlines the futility of attempting to rid the public sphere of drama and s pectacle.\nFor the populist\, by contrast\, the primary threat to democrac y lies in bureaucracy. In his 2016 end run around the political establishm ent\, Trump’s electoral success was driven by a broader critique of the ad ministrative state’s undermining of democratic process. The rise of the ma nagerial bureaucratic state that was set in motion by the development of t he welfare state in the twentieth century has created a class divide betwe en managers and managed that has shifted decision-making power over the co nditions of everyday life away from individuals and toward government and corporate bureaucracies. Because more and more of our economic and social welfare is under the direct influence of the state\, the resultant bloated administrative state has now become prey to a frenzy of lobbyists\, who f urther distance the people from political decision-making. The protections of minority rights that constitute the liberal aspect of today’s democrac ies have turned communities into special interests that lobby administrato rs to pass on privileges to favored groups. The result has been a growing restriction of freedom of expression in the public sphere and an eroding o f a unifying basis for constructing a political order now dominated by the collusion of bureaucracy with corporations.\nWhile the liberal critique o f demagoguery resorts to more government controls that exacerbate the expa nsion of bureaucracy\, the populist critique of bureaucracy has attempted to dismantle government without considering how to establish mechanisms th at would take over the functions that bureaucracies have coopted. Focusing on opposition to government\, the populist perspective often lacks any se nse of alternative institutional structures that could remedy the administ ration and commodification of everyday life.\nBoth sides have contributed to a polarization of views that threatens the underlying consensus necessa ry for democratic politics. The political gridlock that has ensued from th eir diverging diagnoses has meant that our political orders consistently f ail to deliver peace\, prosperity\, and accountable government. Moreover\, regardless of the rhetoric or credentials of those in power\, democracy t oday seems always to leave us with broadly the same basic policies\, despi te some of them being deeply unpopular.\nWe invite those who are intereste d in presenting at the 2024 Telos Conference to consider critically the st atus of democracy today by addressing one or more of the following questio ns:\nDemocratic Values\n\nDoes democracy have a value of its own independe nt of its practical consequences?\nWhat kinds of basic agreements on princ iples are necessary to maintain a democracy?\nIs there a limit to diversit y in a democracy?\nTo what extent is polarization itself a threat to democ racy?\nWhat is the relationship between democracy and liberalism?\n\nDemoc racy and the Administrative State\n\nTo what extent is the consistent real ity of all self-styled “democracies” of the world today a form of manageri al governance that resists change from below?\nWhat role is left in an age of managerialism for the popular will?\nMight the appropriate response to managerialism not be more democracy\, both at the level of the state but also inside corporate and workplace structures\, e.g.\, through workers’ s elf-management?\n\nDemocracy and the Public Sphere\n\nWhat is the role of representation in a democracy\, and how do today’s representational proces ses threaten democratic decision-making?\nHow have social media and artifi cial intelligence changed the way in which democratic processes function\, and what changes to these processes might be necessary in the future to a ccommodate these new technological developments?\nTo what extent and in wh at ways does the public sphere function in today’s democracies?

On the other hand\, populists might disregard such procedural restrict ions to arrive at outcomes that are acclaimed by the people directly.
\nWhile both sides nod to the importance of the popular will\, both are in fact willing to denigrate it. The liberal camp reacts in horror when d emocratic elections result in the election of populists\, who are said to lack proper governing expertise\, as in the 2016 victory of Donald Trump. The populist camp charges conspiracy when electoral results fail to reflec t their own conception of the people’s will\, as in Trump’s reaction to hi s 2020 ouster. Depending on which camp is describing the times\, the false mediator of popular will is either the demagogue or the bureaucrat—Telos has long opposed both.
\nDifferent narratives\, in turn\, have taken hold about democracy’s present challenges. From the point of view of the liberal proceduralist critique of demagogues\, the means of moving from a multiplicity of opinions to a unified decision inevitably involves discour se within a public sphere. This discourse depends on a common understandin g of historical facts\, as well as a public sphere that allows different p erspectives to face each other in debate. In our contemporary world\, howe ver\, the breakdown of previous limits to accessing the public sphere has led to an inability to arrive at a consensus on the difference between fac t and fiction\, as well as an increasing tendency of citizens to exist wit hin a social media echo chamber of their own views\, undermining the commo n ground that a public sphere presupposes.
\nAt the same time\, publ ic debate necessarily implicates values and identities that have an ultima tely mythic basis that cannot be rationally determined. People’s opinions\ , moreover\, are invariably shaped by leaders as much as the people shape what leaders ought to do. Experts lament how this representational dynamic undermines the procedures that govern and channel the representation of t he popular will. Yet the narrative aspect of representation is an ineradic able element of the way in which the popular will coalesces. The process o f narrativized representation will never be an entirely rational one\, and the prominence of media personalities such as Reagan\, Trump\, and Zelens ky as politicians underlines the futility of attempting to rid the public sphere of drama and spectacle.
\nFor the populist\, by contrast\, th e primary threat to democracy lies in bureaucracy. In his 2016 end run aro und the political establishment\, Trump’s electoral success was driven by a broader critique of the administrative state’s undermining of democratic process. The rise of the managerial bureaucratic state that was set in mo tion by the development of the welfare state in the twentieth century has created a class divide between managers and managed that has shifted decis ion-making power over the conditions of everyday life away from individual s and toward government and corporate bureaucracies. Because more and more of our economic and social welfare is under the direct influence of the s tate\, the resultant bloated administrative state has now become prey to a frenzy of lobbyists\, who further distance the people from political deci sion-making. The protections of minority rights that constitute the libera l aspect of today’s democracies have turned communities into special inter ests that lobby administrators to pass on privileges to favored groups. Th e result has been a growing restriction of freedom of expression in the pu blic sphere and an eroding of a unifying basis for constructing a politica l order now dominated by the collusion of bureaucracy with corporations. p>\n
While the liberal critique of demagoguery resorts to more governmen t controls that exacerbate the expansion of bureaucracy\, the populist cri tique of bureaucracy has attempted to dismantle government without conside ring how to establish mechanisms that would take over the functions that b ureaucracies have coopted. Focusing on opposition to government\, the popu list perspective often lacks any sense of alternative institutional struct ures that could remedy the administration and commodification of everyday life.
\nBoth sides have contributed to a polarization of views that threatens the underlying consensus necessary for democratic politics. The political gridlock that has ensued from their diverging diagnoses has mean t that our political orders consistently fail to deliver peace\, prosperit y\, and accountable government. Moreover\, regardless of the rhetoric or c redentials of those in power\, democracy today seems always to leave us wi th broadly the same basic policies\, despite some of them being deeply unp opular.
\nWe invite those who are interested in presenting at the 20 24 Telos Conference to consider critically the status of democracy today b y addressing one or more of the following questions:
\nDemoc ratic Values
\nDemocracy a nd the Administrative State
\nD emocracy and the Public Sphere
\nDemocracy and Religion
\nDemocracy and Authoritarianism
\nAbstract Submissions
\nWh atever specific questions you address\, we invite you to present your anal ysis with an eye toward the long-standing concerns of the Telos-Paul Picco ne Institute and thereby to help develop a trenchant\, independent view of democracy that can inform both critique and practical action within our p resent historical moment. Please submit a short c.v. and an abstract of up to 250 words by October 15\, 2023\, to telosnyc2024@telosinstitute.net an d place “The 2024 Telos Conference” in the email’s subject line.

Abstract: It is widely recognized by prop
onents of the notion that grounding can be\, indeed is\, overdetermined.
Further to this\, it seems safe to suppose that something of a consensus h
as emerged: grounding is overdetermined and there is nothing about it\, ei
ther conceptually or metaphysically\, that we ought to find concerning. B
ut from a small sampling of alleged cases no such conclusions can responsi
bly be drawn. This paper aims to demonstrate that there is nothing obviou
s or straightforward about grounding overdetermination and that the topic
is deserving of much more serious philosophical attention. The Log

\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.

Neopragmatist s seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shifting the target of philosop hical explanation from the objects we think and talk about to the function s of expressions and concepts in our cognitive economy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquiry\, and it has also posed o bstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other vocabulary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a neopragmatist perspective tow ard logical relations\, such as logical consequence\, and toward propositi onal content. Doing so calls into question two purported constraints on ex planations of the functions of logical connectives. I will sketch an accou nt made possible by rejecting those constraints\, one according to which l ogical connectives serve to express dialectical attitudes. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an extension of deflationism from t ruth to logical relations\, and it aims to deflate some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.

The sender-re ceiver model was developed by David Lewis to tackle the question of the co nventionality of meaning. But many people who cared about the conventional ity of meaning did so because they thought it was intimately connected to the conventionality of logic. Since Lewis’s work\, only a few attempts hav e been made to say anything about the nature of logic and inference from t he perspective of the sender-receiver model. This talk will look at the wh at’s been said in that regard\, by Skyrms and others\, and suggest a few g eneral lessons.

\nOn the basis of Poincaré and Weyl’s view of predicativity as invariance\, we develop an extensive framework for predicative\, type-free first-order set theory in which Γ0 and much bigger ordinals can be de fined as von Neumann ordinals. This refutes the accepted view of as the ‘limit of predicativity.’ We also expla in what is wrong in Feferman-Schütte analysis of predicativity on which th is view of Γ0 is based.
