Whereas the notion of c lass used to be a left-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 p olitics targeting the new class has long been a topic of discussion in Tel os\, starting with the classic 1975 essay by Alvin Gouldner “Prologue to a Theory of Revolutionary Intellectuals” (in Telos 26) and continuing throu gh Paul Piccone’s work in the early 1990s in essays such as “The Crisis o f Liberalism and the Emergence of Federal Populism” (in Telos 89) and “P ostmodern Populism” (in Telos 103). A search of the Telos archive will unc over literally hundreds of essays that address various aspects of this iss ue. The recent popularizing of the critique of the new class has led to a conflict between the liberal pursuit of redistributive policies and the ex pansion of the welfare state\, on the one hand\, and the populist attempt to disempower governmental managerial elites and dismantle the welfare sta te\, on the other hand. How is the underlying notion of class being define d by the different parties to this debate? What are the political possibil ities\, both on the left and on the right\, that can emerge from the confl ict? Is this conflict leading to a new kind of civil war\, or can we envis ion new solutions?\nIn addition to engaging with these questions\, our eve nt will feature Telos editors\, who will discuss the past and current traj ectories of Telos as well as Telos 200\, devoted to the place of truth at the university.\nTelos has always had a conflicted relationship with unive rsities. On the one hand\, university academics have constituted the prima ry audience and contributors to Telos. On the other hand\, Telos has alway s maintained a distance from university structures\, precisely because of the tie between universities and the managerial class\, and previous speci al issues in Telos 81 and Telos 111 have attempted to address this problem .\nToday\, the situation of universities has become more dire than ever. T rapped between the pressure to provide job training on the one hand and po litical advocacy on the other hand\, the idea of a search for truth sounds hopelessly naive as a description of the task of colleges and universitie s today. Matching the shift of our society toward technocratic and manager ial solutions to problems\, the natural and social sciences have become re cognized authorities based on their claim to being scientific. Yet the aut hority of “science” is misleading in the sense that science never has stra ightforward answers but relies on a method of constant questioning. Scienc e itself cannot be counted on to make policy decisions but can only provid e relevant information for decision makers. Recent pieces in TelosScope by Russell Berman and Mathieu 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-making\, traditionally the place of the humanities and social sciences\, have been suppressed in favor of a focus on political engagement. The range of perspectives availa ble for discussion has been reduced\, to the exclusion of those views that might challenge the technocratic bias and the reduction of politics to id entity politics that have become dominant at universities.\nThis narrowing of perspectives has also undermined the research project of the universit y. The exclusion of relevant perspectives in university debates has degrad ed the peer review process in the social sciences and the humanities\, mai ntaining an orthodoxy that favors the reinforcement of previously held vie ws rather than the challenging of such views. Such research can then be ci ted as the “scientific” basis for a set of policy prescriptions that have been agreed upon in advance. Where Max Weber once lamented the transformat ion of the lecture hall into a pulpit\, it is difficult today for academic s to avoid the pressure to either conform to a particular political perspe ctive or\, in rejecting such politicization\, to be forced into an “obstru ctionist” camp.\nIn the midst of these developments\, what is the status o f the idea of truth? Will truth necessarily remain subordinate to politics ? How might the search for truth remain a focus of colleges and universiti es?\nIn addressing these questions\, the 200th issue of Telos features con tributions by Joseph W. Bendersky\, Russell Berman\, Valerie J. D’Erman\, J. E. Elliott\, Wayne Hudson\, Michael Hüther\, Mark G. E. Kelly\, Tim Luk e\, Richard T.

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.

\nIt has become common for political theorist s and philosophers to insist on the necessity of new imaginaries and narra tives. Crises of authority\, financial meltdowns\, and environmental disas ters compel us to look for alternative frameworks and practices. While the urgency of this claim is undeniable\, the conceptual ground for the creat ion of new imaginaries and narratives is still unclear. How do we define i maginaries and narratives in relation to our political and social life? Ho w can they become normative and generate conceptual and practical shifts? And who is in a position to shape\, direct\, and take ownership of these e mergent conceptions?
\nThis conference focuses on the current debate on political imaginaries and narratives to investigate some of these ques tions. As a starting point\, we propose to challenge standard Marxist or e pistemological approaches to the topic that either interpret imaginaries a nd narratives as ideological projections (a product of false consciousness ) or merely as individual\, cognitive faculties. Rather\, we suggest think ing about imaginaries and narratives as larger sensuous and embodied pract ices that re-orient material structures of domination and allow for a refl ective rearticulation of collective demands. In particular\, we set out to clarify: the meaning of “imaginaries” and/or “narratives” as forms of sen se-making\; their ability to shift existing discourses and power relations \; the way in which they foster different ways of feeling\, seeing\, actin g-in\, and experiencing the world in a time of crisis\; the way in which t hey are embedded in artistic and literary practices\; and the way in which they address—or fail to address—marginalized subjects.
\nWe invite papers that focus on the concepts of “social imaginary” and “narrative\,” as well as on the connection between the two\, and on their political and ethical implications. It is our conviction that a critical understanding o f these concepts can only emerge from attending to how they are practicall y embodied and situated in our practices. In this spirit\, we welcome\, in addition to papers aimed at conceptual clarification\, papers that provid e specific accounts of alternative forms of praxis\, including (but not li mited to) leftist\, feminist\, anti-racist\, decolonial\, abolitionist\, i ndigenous\, environmentalist\, and utopian imaginaries and narratives.
\nWe are accepting submissions of up to 4000 words. Pl ease also submit a brief academic bio.

\nThe deadli ne is January 3rd\, 2023
\nHow does the brain cope with Complexity? How do we make decisions when confronted with practically infinite streams of information?
\nThe conference showca ses cutting edge research on these questions in Neuroscience and Psycholog y (neural mechanisms of cognitive control\, exploration\, decision-making\ , information demand\, memory and creativity)\, Computer Science (artifici al intelligence of curiosity and intrinsic motivation) and Economics (deci sion making and information demand). Alongside formal presentations\, the conference will encourage ample interactions among faculty\, students and postdocs through informal discussions and poster presentations.
\nSu bmissions for poster presentations and travel awards are due February 15\, 2023. Please visit the call fo r submissions for complete requirements.

\nThe theme of our conferenc e Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Controversy is relevant to g raduate student educators\, who are routinely under-trained and under-equi pped to engage with real-life problems they may encounter in the classroom . The lack of training for higher education teachers is a growing iue in p hilosophy of education.
\nThis workshop attends to this issue by fac ilitating a space for graduate student educators to reflect on how to fost er good teaching environments for controversial issues\, and be good inter locutors with each other on controversial issues. The workshop will also t ouch on promoting equity in classrooms. We will provide workshop participa nts with a certificate of completion.

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?

Making Space for Justi
ce: Social Movements\, Collective Imagination\, and Political Hope
\nby Michele M Moody-Adams
From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today\, progressive social movements h ave been at the forefront of social change. Yet it is seldom recognized th at such movements have not only engaged in political action but also posed crucial philosophical questions about the meaning of justice and about ho w the demands of justice can be met.
\nMichele Moody-Adams argues th at anyone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or b oth—must ask what can be learned from social movements. Drawing on a range of compelling examples\, she explores what they have shown about the natu re of justice as well as what it takes to create space for justice in the world. Moody-Adams considers progressive social movements as wellsprings o f moral inquiry and as agents of social change\, drawing out key philosoph ical and practical principles. Social justice demands humane regard for ot hers\, combining compassionate concern and robust respect. Successful move ments have drawn on the transformative power of imagination\, strengthenin g the motivation to pursue justice and to create the political institution s and social policies that can sustain it by inspiring political hope.
\nMaking Space for Justice contends that the insights arising from social movements are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective practice—and should be transformative for political t hought as well as for political activism.

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. They\, in turn\, shape and reshape our notion of moralit

He imagined an institute “in which philosophers \, sociologists\, economists\, historians\, and psychologists are brought together in permanent collaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institute would not work with a single theory but would let data lead to new hypothe ses (Horkheimer 1993\, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues rare ly lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically groun ded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Horkh eimer’s and Adorno’s history of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialectic o f Enlightenment\, with current research on the development of early human cultures by Richard Wrangham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Joseph Henrich and Cecilia Heyes. The comparison with recent research in anthrop ology\, sociology\, philosophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of the deep conceptual commitments that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current approa ches jointly suggest that human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded\; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; that learning occurs in context through imitation\; and that customs and insti tutions develop contingently and by accident through processes of cooperat ion and collaboration. These new insights invite a radical re-thinking of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The res ulting picture of environmentally embedded process of cultural evolution i s a first step towards revitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of the early Frankfurt School\, and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\, an d sustainable routes such critique can take in the 21st century.\n \n \nBi o:\n \nBenjamin Morgan is Professor of German and Comparative Literature a t the University of Oxford\, and a Fellow of Worcester College.

\nThe importanc e of incorporating value pluralism into a theory of justice is recognized in many conceptualizations of justice. This pluralism is often seen as a r eason to attend to a range of perspectives\, perspectives which can functi on as a source of information in determining which principles should guide justice. However\, philosophy’s ability to properly attend to different p erspectives has received extensive attention in the criticisms of various non-ideal theorists\, who argue that ideal-theoretical philosophy runs the risk of excluding important aspects of actual social problems. Taking the se criticisms on board\, this paper builds on non-ideal theory by arguing for a Wittgensteinian family resemblance approach to justice. I will expla in how this linguistic practice-embedded understanding of justice can be a helpful tool for non-ideal theory\, as it can give us insight into why\, in various similar but different cases\, the notion of justice is seen as applicable. In light of this approach\, I will suggest a reorientation of the pluralist demand towards an empirical starting point.

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 explain what connects thi s past and the present. Are we talking about one racism with many differen t past and present forms? Or are there multiple racisms that only share so me similar features? In this talk\, I draw attention to how these division s play out particularly in contemporary Black Studies and argue that the p hilosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resources for thinking about thes e questions through his discussions of repetition. I argue that understand ing our conversations about structural racism and history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to better understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate forms 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. His teaching and research explores the relatio nships between 20th Century Continental Philosophy\, Critical Philosophy o f Race\, and Queer Theory. His work has appeared in Theory and Event\, Pu ncta\, Philosophy Today\, Critical Philosophy of Race\, Political Theology \, and other venues. His current research project is particularly interest ed in engaging work in Continental Philosophy\, Queer Theory\, and Black S tudies to address questions of identity and difference amongst concepts of race\, forms of racism\, and forms of anti-racism. How can we better acco unt for the relations between at times radically disparate concepts\, stru ctures\, and practices such that they can all specifically and recognizabl y be called racial? What might our account of these relations say about ou r ability to address racism’s harms?

Based on a variety of discoveri es and evolutions that are constitutive of modernity (globalization\, Prot estantism\, the invention of the telescope)\, modern man has adopted an Ar chimedean\, external position vis-à-vis the world. According to Arendt\, this ‘view from without’ has gradually jeopardized the experience of a sha red world\, endangering the foundation of all meaning-giving activities.\n My talk can be considered as a reply to Arendt’s pessimistic account of mo dern ‘world-alienation’. It builds on the idea that some of the most influ ential thinkers of the twentieth century (Ernst Jünger\, Georg Lukács\, Ernst Bloch\, Theodor Adorno\, Walter Benjamin\, Aby Warburg\, Sigmund Fre ud) did not equate the loss of a shared world with the loss of meaning. Ra ther\, the conceptual framework of a substantial part of early twentieth c entury German philosophy centers on the exploration of a productive opposi tion\, negation or fragmentation of the world.

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.
\nMy 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.
