Two Routes to the Emergence of Free Will
Susan Neiman develops in Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosop hy (2002\, Princeton: Princeton University Press) a watershed perspec tive on the longstanding problem of evil\, the perniciously difficult to s atisfy “need to find order within those appearances so unbearable that the y threaten reason’s ability to go on.” The book thereby also presents a ra dically new perspective on traditional debates within metaphysics. On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary\, we gather to celebrate her accompl ishment and to advance the research program it reflects. Participants will include\, in addition to Neiman herself: Annalise Acorn\, Frederick Beise r\, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer\, Omri Boehm\, Dan Brudney\, Caroline Bynum\, Lor raine Daston\, Michael Della Rocca\, Wendy Doniger\, Wolfram Ellenberger\, John Faithful Hamer\, Carey Harrison\, Patricia Kitcher\, Philip Kitcher\ , Christia Mercer\, Cornel West\, Allen Wood\, and James Wood.

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

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?

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.

\nThe rich phil osophical and mathematical disputes that took place between Isaac Newton a nd Gottfried Leibniz at the start of the eighteenth century have received more historical attention than any other exchange in the history of philos ophy. Nevertheless\, in this talk\, Robert Iliffe discusses a prominent bu t neglected aspect of their disagreement\, namely the mutual claim that th eir opponents’ conceptual foundations were fictional\, and were the produc t both of diseased thinking and of illegitimately organized intellectual s tructures. Newton assailed Leibniz’s allegedly debased metaphysics in vari ous prominent places\, and mobilized allies such as Roger Cotes and John K eill to do the same. Nevertheless\, by far the most sophisticated critique of illicit philosophical assumptions was launched against Newton by Leibn iz in his correspondence with Samuel Clarke. In the Fifth letter to Clarke \, Leibniz identified core Newtonian positions as infantile\, vulgar\, and profoundly irreligious\, asserting that they were dangerous fictions that were less plausible and much less edifying than the rational romances of writers in the previous century. Although Leibniz saved his most potent in tellectual weapons for his final letter to Clarke\, Robert Iliffe suggests that his attack on the fictional status of Newton’s work was no mere codi cil to his general critique of Newton’s philosophy\, but instead lay at th e heart of it. This famous debate\, while of course somewhat sui generis\, is indicative of more general and dynamic features of intellectual debate .

\nABSTRACT: Buddhist philosophers often dra w a distinction between two different kinds of truth: conventional truth ( saṃvṭi-satya) and ultimate truth (paramārtha-satya). Abhidharma Buddhists philosophers typically understand this distinction in terms of an ontologi cal distinction between two different kinds of entities: ultimately real e ntities (paramārtha-sat) and conventionally real entities (saṃvṛti-sat). S imilar to contemporary philosophical discussions about ordinary objects\, Buddhist philosophers debate the ontological status of conventional entiti es and the semantics of discourse concerning them. Mark Siderits (2015\, 2 021\, 2022) has influentially argued for an eliminitivist position he call s “Buddhist reductionism” that interprets the Abhidharma position as one t hat denies conventional entities exist but that retains discourse involvin g apparent reference to them. However\, in a recent article Kris McDaniel (2019)\, a prominent defender of ontological pluralism\, challenges that v iew by proposing that the Abhidharma Buddhist distinction between conventi onal truth and ultimate truth be “defined up” from a more basic distinctio n between two different ways an entity can exist: conventionally or ultima tely. In this paper I argue that Saṃghabhadra’s account of conventional re ality and truth does lends itself well to McDaniel’s proposal but I will a lso argue that the account of conventional and ultimate truth that results differs in important ways from the models he offers. I will end by offeri ng a modification of McDaniel’s account of conventional truth that is deri ved from Saṃghabhadra’s pluralist ontology. That view will\, unlike the vi ews suggested by both Siderits and McDaniel\, allow for there to be ultima te truths about what is conventionally true.

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.
