DESCRIPTION:Democracy is often presented as the sine qua non of politics to
day. 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? What kinds
of limitations are necessary to guarantee the functioning of the public s
phere as a space for democratic debate and decision-making?\n\nDemocracy a
nd Religion\n\nWhat role is there for religion in today’s democracies?\nTo
what extent does either secularization or religion pose a threat to democ
racy?\n\nDemocracy and Authoritarianism\n\nWhat is the relationship betwee
n democracy and authoritarianism? Do the current ills of democracy promote
a global shift toward authoritarian government?\nWhat are the key compone
nts of democracy that differentiate it from authoritarianism? Where do cou
ntries such as Hungary\, Turkey\, India\, and Russia fall on the continuum
from democracy to authoritarianism?\n\nAbstract Submissions\nWhatever spe
cific questions you address\, we invite you to present your analysis with
an eye toward the long-standing concerns of the Telos-Paul Piccone Institu
te and thereby to help develop a trenchant\, independent view of democracy
that can inform both critique and practical action within our present his
torical moment. Please submit a short c.v. and an abstract of up to 250 wo
rds by October 15\, 2023\, to telosnyc2024@telosinstitute.net and place “T

s—and\, especially\, these challenges—have produced two competing visions
of democracy in the contemporary West. Their division reflects differences
about the politics of representation and decision-making. On one hand\, l
iberals view democracy as the following of appropriate procedures for chan
neling the opinions of the multitude through the election of representativ
es. 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
\n\n- Does democracy have a value of its ow
n independent of its practical consequences?
\n- What kinds of basic
agreements on principles are necessary to maintain a democracy?
\n- Is there a limit to diversity in a democracy?
\n- To what extent is
polarization itself a threat to democracy?
\n- What is the relation
ship between democracy and liberalism?
\n
\nDemocracy a
nd the Administrative State
\n\n- To what extent is the
consistent reality of all self-styled “democracies” of the world today a f
orm of managerial governance that resists change from below?
\n- Wha
t role is left in an age of managerialism for the popular will?
\n-
Might the appropriate response to managerialism not be more democracy\, bo
th at the level of the state but also inside corporate and workplace struc
tures\, e.g.\, through workers’ self-management?
\n
\nD
emocracy and the Public Sphere
\n\n- What is the role of
representation in a democracy\, and how do today’s representational proce
sses threaten democratic decision-making?
\n- How have social media
and artificial intelligence changed the way in which democratic processes
function\, and what changes to these processes might be necessary in the f
uture to accommodate these new technological developments?
\n- To wh
at extent and in what ways does the public sphere function in today’s demo
cracies? What kinds of limitations are necessary to guarantee the function
ing of the public sphere as a space for democratic debate and decision-mak
ing?
\n
\nDemocracy and Religion
\n\nWhat role is there for religion in today’s democracies?\n- To wha
t extent does either secularization or religion pose a threat to democracy
?
\n
\nDemocracy and Authoritarianism
\n\n- What is the relationship between democracy and authoritarianism? Do
the current ills of democracy promote a global shift toward authoritarian
government?
\n- What are the key components of democracy that diffe
rentiate it from authoritarianism? Where do countries such as Hungary\, Tu
rkey\, India\, and Russia fall on the continuum from democracy to authorit
arianism?
\n
\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. Please di
rect questions to Professor Mark G. E. Kelly\, Western Sydney University\,
M.Kelly@westernsydney.edu.au.
\nConference Location
\nThe conference will take place at the John D. Calandra Italian A
merican Institute in New York City from Friday\, March 22\, to Saturday\,

DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the reflexive nature of consciousness\, whic
h consists primarily in the fact that a state of consciousness has a refle
xive relation to the subject who has that state\, so that the subject can
typically be aware of itself as having that state. Comparing Kant’s\, Fich
te’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of this reflexivity sho
ws that there is a crucial difference in the way the relation between form
(or mode) and content of a state of consciousness is conceived. The first
part examines Kant’s formal theory of consciousness: reflexivity is under
stood not in terms of a self-referential content resulting from a reflecti
on on the state of the subject\, but as the universal transcendental form
that any content must have in order to be representationally significant a
nd potentially conscious to the subject. The second part examines Fichte’s
departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing consciousness: in th
e original act of self-positing\, the mere form of reflexivity is turned i
nto a self-referential content that determines the subject as an object fr
om the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third part examines analy
tic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is often called the sub
jective character) of consciousness on a model of mental indexicality. The
se theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective constituent of cont
ent that\, although often implicit\, can be read off from the subject’s co
ntextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’s theory can be unde
rstood as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspectivism that navigates
between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturalist absolute objectiv

DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is said to be a once-in-a-century inciden
t\, and it brought to us a sense of crisis at various levels. What is a cr
isis\, though? Can any unnerving moment or period be called a crisis\, or
are there different dimensions of a crisis to which we need to be attentiv
e? Is solidarity possible after experiencing a crisis like Covid-19? Can B
uddhism make any contribution to facilitating solidarity? This presentatio
n explores the meaning and nature of a crisis and our responses to it by d
rawing on modern Korean political thinker Pak Ch’iu’s (1909–1949) analysis
of crisis and feminist-Buddhist thinker Kim Iryŏp’s (1896–1971) Buddhist
philosophy. By doing so\, this presentation considers what social\, politi
cal\, existential\, and even religious meaning we can draw from our experi
ence of crises\, and what questions these insights present to us.\nWith re
