\\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:

Claims about “identity” and “difference” can readil y be found at work in a wide variety of typologies\, including those of ra ce\, class\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, religion\, nationality\, pol itical affiliation\, ability and disability\, animality and humanity\, etc . But what exactly do we mean when we speak of “identity” or “difference” ? And if we achieve greater clarity about the metaphysical presupposition s and implications of “identity” and “difference\,” what difference would that make?\nA serious metaphysical examination of “identity” and “differen ce” will expectedly generate a wide variety of questions. Is discourse ab out what is “identical” reducible to discourse about what is “the same”? Is discourse about what is “different” reducible to discourse about what i s “other”? Can something be “the same” without being “identical\,” and ca n something be “other” without being “different”? When we speak about “be ing\,” does our speaking about it have many different senses (is it spoken of analogically)\, or instead does our speaking about being always have t he same sense (is it spoken of univocally)? 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.

And yet it is h ard to resist the impression of a gap—a difference in nature rather than d egree—between humans and non-humans when it comes to certain tasks involvi ng abstraction\, planning\, sustained attention\, or the transmission of c ulture over generations. How different is the human mind from the minds of non-human animals? The key to these issues may lie in the capacity of the mind to relate to itself as a “self” that bears desires and intentions\, along with agency and purpose. But how is this compatible with the recogni tion that much of our mental activity occurs at an unconscious or subconsc ious level\, below the threshold of awareness and reflection? Is our perce ived unity of self or mind an illusion we entertain for practical purposes ?\nPsychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik\, ecologist Carl Safina\, an d biologist Kenneth R.
