\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.
\nKeynote: Naom
i Zack (Lehman College\, CUNY)
\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.
\nPlease submit a 300-500 word abstract prepared for blind review to fordhamgradco nference@gmail.com in PDF format. In the body of the email\, please includ e:
\nSubmissions are due by Frid ay\, December 30\, 2022. After anonymous review\, applicants will be notified by Tuesday\, January 17\, 2023. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes.
\nThe conference will take place in person on March 3-4\, 2023 on Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus located at 441 East Fo rdham Road\, Bronx\, NY 10458.

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.

The 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.

\n\nRichard J. Be rnstein first encountered John Dewey’s pragmatist naturalism as a graduate student at Yale University\, where “Dewey’s naturalistic vision of the r elation of experience and nature—how human beings as natural creatures are related to the rest of nature—spoke deeply to me.” This early enthusiasm for Dewey’s naturalistic vision never left him. During the final years of his long life\, Bernstein finished two books that return to issues of prag matist naturalism.
\n· His Pragmatic Naturalism: John Dewe y’s Living Legacy (2020)\, traces differing versions of Deweyan natur alism in the works of contemporary philosophers\, including Robert Brandom \, John McDowell\, Richard Rorty\, Wilfrid Sellars\, Peter Godfrey-Smith\, Philip Kitcher\, Bjorn Ramberg\, David Macarthur\, Steven Levine\, Mark J ohnson\, Robert Sinclair\, Huw Price\, and Joseph Rouse.
\n· I n his final book\, The Vicissitudes of Nature (2022)\, B ernstein clarifies his own pragmatist naturalism in relation to the thinki ng of earlier modern philosophers: Spinoza\, Hume\, Kant\, Hegel\, Marx\, Nietzsche\, and Freud.
\nThis conference will critically assess and expand the legacy of Bernstein’s final pragmatic naturalism as expressed i n these two books. Accepted papers will be collected for publication.
\nThe New York Pragmatist Forum
\nPaper topics may include:
\n● Bernstein’s discussion of Dew ey’s thinking in relation to contemporary philosophers’ formulations of na turalism in Pragmatic Naturalism: John Dewey’s Living Legacy.
\n● Bernstein’s interpretation of an earlier thinker’s understandi ng of naturalism or nature in The Vicissitudes of Nature (Spinoza \, Hume\, Kant\, Hegel\, Marx\, Nietzsche\, or Freud).
\n● A la rger theme or problem that brings one of these Bernstein’s texts into conv ersation with philosophical naturalism\, either particular expressions or conceptual issues.
\n● The consequences of one or both of these texts for questions of naturalism in relation to wider social and politic al questions\, e.g.\, democracy\, praxis\, critique.

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? Is “being” different from “nothing\,” or is it possible for differences to exist only among beings (in which case there apparently cannot be a difference between “being” and “nothing”)?\nIn spite of the v irtual ubiquity of discourses about identity and difference\, there is a d earth of discourse about the metaphysical presuppositions and implications of “identity and difference.” With its choice of conference theme for 20 24 (“Identity\, Difference\, and the Difference that Metaphysics Makes”)\, the Metaphysical Society of America wishes to provoke deeper thinking abo ut the metaphysics of identity and difference\, with the hope that such de eper thinking will make a meaningful difference in both theory and practic e.\nProposals for papers on the conference theme are especially encouraged \, but papers on other metaphysical topics are also welcome.

C laims about “identity” and “difference” can readily be found at work in a wide variety of typologies\, including those of race\, class\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, religion\, nationality\, political affiliation\, abi lity and disability\, animality and humanity\, etc. But what exactly do w e mean when we speak of “identity” or “difference”? 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”? When we speak about “being\,” does our s peaking about it have many different senses (is it spoken of analogically) \, or instead does our speaking about being always have the same sense (is it spoken of univocally)? 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.
\nProposals for papers on the conference theme are especially encouraged\, but papers on other metaphysical topics are also welcome. Please note: wh en selecting which submissions to accept for this conference\, the Program Committee will regard “relevance to theme” as one important criterion amo ng others.

\nAfter two government bailouts of the U .S. economy in less than twenty years\, free market ideology is due for se rious reappraisal. In Free Market: the History of an Idea\, Jacob Soll details how we got to this current crisis\, and how we can find our way out by looking to earlier iterations of free market thought. Contrary to popular narratives\, early market theorists believed that states had an important role in building and maintaining free markets. But in the eight eenth century\, thinkers insisted on free markets without state interventi on\, leading to a tradition of ideological brittleness. That tradition onl y calcified in the centuries that followed. Tracing the intellectual evolu tion of the free market from Cicero to Milton Friedman\, Soll argues that we need to go back to the origins of free market ideology in order to trul y understand it—and to develop new economic concepts to face today’s chall enges.
\nJacob Soll is professor of history and acc ounting at the University of Southern California. He has been awarded nume rous prestigious prizes including two NEH Fellowships\, the Jacques Barzun Prize\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and\, in 2011\, the MacArthur Fellowshi p. He also advises political and financial leaders across the globe to pro mote accounting standards and financial transparency.
\nJo ining Jacob Soll to discuss his book will be: Pierre Force\, Professor of French and History at Columbia\; John Shovlin\, Professor of History at NYU\; and Carl Wennerlind \, Professor of History at Barnard College. Emmanuelle Saada\, Professor of History and French at Columbia\, will moderate the disc ussion.
\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Maison Françai se and the Department of History.
