DESCRIPTION:One of the most challenging aspects of the war in Ukraine is th
e way in which the conflict has been constantly shifting in its form. 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

SUMMARY:2023 Telos Conference: Forms of War
URL:https://www.noahgreenstein.com/wordpress/event/2023-telos-conference-fo
rms-of-war/
X-COST-TYPE:free
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nOne of the most challenging aspects of the war in Ukraine
is the way in which the conflict has been constantly shifting in its form
. In the first place\, there is a conventional ground war between Russia a
nd Ukraine\, 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 NA
TO for its own supplies\, indicating that this war depends on the maintena
nce and expansion of alliances. The stability of these alliances in turn d
epends on a combination of Realpolitik and shared values as the g
lue that holds them together. This logic of alliances motivates the energy
war that Russia is waging with Europe\, revealing that\, unbeknownst to E
urope\, Russian energy policy over the last decade was an early form of th
e war. Similarly\, the threat of nuclear war also tests the resolve of NAT
O\, 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 about human rights for Ukrainians or the entire human rights
project? For Russia\, 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 secularization?
\nThe mater
ial form of the war—economic\, conventional\, nuclear—will depend on the w
ay in which the participants on all sides and in all parts of the world co
me to an understanding about these questions concerning the moral and spir
itual stakes in the war. If it is just a matter of giving up Ukraine\, the
n the economic costs for Europe may not be worth the fight\, and Russia’s
victory in the energy war could lead to a general NATO capitulation. But i
f the freedom and security of central and western Europe 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 order. Is freedom worth
the risk of annihilation? Is peace worth the indignities and repression of
authoritarianism? As the most serious global conflict since World War II\
, the war in Ukraine risks going beyond the bounds of all other forms of w
ar before it. What are the resources that are necessary for meeting its ch
allenges? How can the shifting forms of the war be contained and channeled
toward a future lasting peace?
\nThes
e types of questions are not specific to the war in Ukraine but arise in a
ny situation of war. Every war forces us to reconsider the character of wa
r and the forms that it can take. In the first place\, the insight that le
ads to a war is one about the nature of a conflict. War only begins once t
he parties determine that there is an otherwise irresolvable conflict abou
t the basis of order. The course of a war also results in a practical insi
ght into the form of a postwar order. Peace and stability cannot arrive un
til all come to an agreement about the new understanding of order. This in
tertwining of practical and theoretical gains means that the time of war i
s also a time of shifting manifestations of the forms by which war is foug
ht\, as well as the forms of order to be established by the outcome of the
war. The course of a war will be decided by our understanding of the kind
of world we want to live in\, the risks we are willing to take to establi
sh such a world\, and our belief in its practical possibility. A war will
necessarily change in form depending upon where we are in the movement fro
m the conflict of competing ideas to the victory of a particular conceptio
n of order. Since the result of the conflict would be an establishment of
sovereignty based on some understanding of order\, the conflict is not jus
t a material one but also a theoretical and spiritual one about the metaph
ysical basis of order. In the process of war\, insight leads to conflict\,
and conflict leads to insight.
\nAt t
he 2023 Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference on forms of war\, we will
consider different ways of understanding the relationship between conflict
and insight in war as well as examples of how the conceptualization of co
nflict affects the outbreak\, progress\, and outcome of wars. On the one h
and\, we will consider the way in which the experience of war\, both on th
e battlefield and on the home front\, affects the outcome of the war. On t
he other hand\, we will look at how this importance of the experience of w
ar in turn affects the strategy of war. Such strategizing begins already a
t the nascent stages of conflict\, before any actual fighting begins\, but
in which the possibility of conflict can already lead to concessions by o
ne side or the other that lead to a transformation of the basis of order.
Similarly\, fears and hopes for the future also determine the course of a
war\, helping the participants to end a war by offering them a mutually ac
ceptable vision of the terms of peace.
\nQuestions include:
\n\n- What 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 we
re not taken?
\n- In what situations does the refusal of war lead to
an outcome that is tantamount to surrender in war? How can the threat of
war be used as a political tool?
\n- To what extent is war a continu
ation of politics? Or is war the breakdown of politics?
\n- How have
different wars been experienced on the battlefield and on the home front?
How have the different experiences of war affected the outcomes?
\nHow does our understanding of world order affect the turn to war?\n
- What is the relationship between war and peace in terms of internation
al order?
\n- How do fictional or historical representations of war
affect the conduct of war?
\n- What is the relationship between war
and the collective identity of a people?
\n- How are wars between na
tion-states linked to their domestic politics? In what situations does an
external enemy create unity or division in domestic politics?
\n- Ho
w is war used as a tool in domestic politics\, for instance\, as a way to
divert attention from domestic political problems?
\n- What 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 lead to a war being fough
t in a particular way?
\n- To what extent can a representation of wa
r replace a real war\, for instance\, when single combat is supposed to su
bstitute for the combat of armies\, or when war is televised?
\n- Wh
at is the relationship between spiritual concerns and the forms of war? Ar
e all wars in some sense religious wars?

DESCRIPTION:A conference hosted by the Motherhood and Technology Working Gr
oup at the Center for the Study of Social Difference on the theme of “Conc
eption and Its Discontents.”\nMedical technologies have radically transfor
med the biological and social experience of motherhood. Advances in genomi
c and reproductive care\, the circulation of novel kinship structures\, th
e entrenchment of existing global networks of power and privilege\, and th
e politics of contested bodily sites mark this emerging constellation.\nTe
chnological advancements have in particular impacted not just the understa
nding of conception\, but the very process by which a human embryo is crea
ted\, implanted\, and matured. Egg freezing\, embryo storage\, IVF\, and s
urrogacy afford women new freedoms in choosing when and how to become moth
ers\, while also raising troubling questions about the pressures of capita
lism and the extension of worklife\, as well as the global inequalities pr
esent in the experience of motherhood. In addition\, technologies have ari
sen allowing for unprecedented control over not just who becomes a mother\
, but what kind of embryo is allowed to be implanted and to grow. Technolo
gies such as CRISPR and NIPT have re-introduced the question of eugenics\,
radically shifting the very epistemology of motherhood and what it means
to be “expecting.” And contemporary abortion debates draw on technology in
order to make arguments both for and against access\, with imaging techno
logies being instrumentalized in the building of a sympathetic case for th
e unborn\, and the very notion of a “heartbeat bill” reliant on the misrea
ding of technologies for measuring fetal activity.\nWhile these problems a
re urgent today\, questions of conception and technology are by no means r
ecent developments. The 18th century saw a flourishing of philosophical an
d scientific theories regarding the start of human life and its formation
within the womb. Such theories relied on modern technologies\, such as aut
opsy\, to atomize and visualize the body. In the 19th and 20th centuries\,
eugenic medical science produced theories of reproductive difference betw
een differing racial and social groups\, leading to forced sterilization l
aws in both the US and in Germany. This long history of racializing the rh
etoric of fertility and motherhood continues to influence political debate

DESCRIPTION:Ideas about “identity” and “difference” proliferate in the news
media\, in higher education\, in political disputations\, and in critical
theories of society. 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. Please note:
when selecting which submissions to accept for this conference\, the Prog
ram Committee will regard “relevance to theme” as one important criterion
among others.\n****************************************\nGuidelines for th

DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that the first workshop of the semes
ter will take place in person on Friday\, September 23rd from *4-6pm* (ple
ase note the change in the usual time). Robert Stern (University of Sheffi

on the Good Life and the Virtues.” Please note that the talk will take pl
ace at The New School\, Room M104 (The Bark Room)\, Sheila C. Johnson Desi

be up-to-date with vaccinations and boosters and set up a CLEAR Health Pa
ss account in advance. Directions for visitor access are below.\nThe event
has been organized by the Wittgenstein Workshop.\nAbstract: This paper dr
aws a contrast between Hegel and MacIntyre\, treating both as post-Kantian
perfectionists. The claim is that while Hegel treats the good life as som
ething found\, and to be implemented in the rational state\, MacIntyre tre
ats it as something to be sought. This difference\, it is argued\, is refl
ected in their respective accounts of the virtues: for Hegel\, the key vir
tue becomes rectitude\, whereas for MacIntyre a wider range of virtues is
required\, to make this quest for the good achievable. Using the character
s of Walt and Travis from Paris\, Texas to illustrate the argument\, it is
suggested that the MacIntyrean option is to be preferred.\nGUEST AND VISI
TOR ACCESS AND VACCINATION POLICY\nGuests and visitors must be up-to-date
with their COVID-19 vaccinations\, including a booster when eligible.\nBeg
inning Monday\, August 15\, The New School will use CLEAR’S Health Pass\,

on\, to issue guest passes. The CLEAR Health Pass replaces on-site manual
vaccination checking and physical guest passes. CLEAR accounts should be s

requiring only a selfie to reactivate. Details and instructions about cre
ating and setting up a CLEAR account can be found on our website.\nThe Wel

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by Eric-John Russell (Universität Pot
sdam)\, who will present chapters from his recently published book\, Why E
verything is as it Seems: Hegel and Debord. Jacob McNulty (University Coll
ege London) will provide a response followed by a Q&A with our audience.\n
Guy Debord has been called many things: pseudo-philosopher\, nihilist\, fi
lmmaker\, megalomaniac\, strategist\, third-rate Mephistopheles. His book
The Society of the Spectacle (1967) has fallen into a similarly motley rec
eption\, frequently enveloped within the discourses of postmodernism\, med
ia and cultural studies\, and avant-garde art history. My research however
\, dispenses with such narratives and instead offers a sustained examinati
on of the concept of the society of the spectacle through the two pillars
upon which Debord understood his own work as a critical theory of society:
Marx’s critique of political economy and Hegel’s speculative philosophy.
It is the latter that will be the focus of my paper\, first by offering so
me introductory remarks on Debord’s theory of the spectacle but then argui
ng that it precisely the speculative dimension of Hegel’s dialectic that
remains central for Debord’s diagnosis of twentieth century capitalism\, w
ith emphasis placed on the importance of Hegel’s Wesenslogik. I will concl
ude with the historical significance of Debord’s “heretical Hegelianism\,”
specifically as an intervention within the atmosphere of the French Hegel
ianism of the interwar and postwar period.\n

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

DESCRIPTION:The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our
place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another\, how we vita
lly and sometimes fatally breathe the same air\, share the surfaces of the
earth\, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live
in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. Ho
w do we think from\, and about\, this common bind?\nIn What World Is This?
A Pandemic Phenomenology\, Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its c
onsequences—political\, social\, ecological\, economic—have challenged us
to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Draw
ing on the work of Max Scheler\, Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, and critical femi
nist phenomenology\, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to
make sense of our disorientation\, precarity\, and social bonds. What Wor
ld Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and
breathing\, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself
\, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions
of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism\, sexism\,
and classism\, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potent
ial of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequa
lities.\nExposing and opposing forms of injustice that deny the essential
interrelationship of living creatures\, Butler argues for a radical social
equality and advocates modes of resistance that seek to establish new con
ditions of livability and a new sense of a shared world.\nSpeaker\nJudith
Butler is a Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School at the Universi
ty of California\, Berkeley. They are the author of several books\, most r
ecently The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind (2020). Butler’
s previous Columbia University Press books include Parting Ways: Jewishnes
s and the Critique of Zionism (2012)\, Antigone’s Claim: Kinship Between L
ife and Death (2000)\, and Subjects of Desire: Hegelian Reflections in Twe
ntieth-Century France (1987).\nRespondents \nMia Florin-Sefton is a Ph.D.
candidate and University Writing Instructor in the English & Comparative L
iterature Department at Columbia University\, where she specializes in 20t
h and 21st-century transatlantic anglophone literatures and culture. She i
s also working on a project that looks at the history of sex glands and ea
rly history of hormone replacement therapy in the context of theories of r
acial degeneration and eugenics post-World War I.\nProfessor Goyal is an A
ssistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Columbia University Medica
l Center and founding director of the major in Medical Humanities. Profess
or Goyal completed his residency in Emergency Medicine as Chief Resident w
hile finishing his PhD in English and Comparative Literature. His research

ratology\, Aktuel Forskning\, Litteratur\, Kultur og Medier\, and The Los
Angeles Review of Books\, among other places. He is a Co-Founding Editor o

compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the
many ways humans rely on one another\, how we vitally and sometimes fatall
y breathe the same air\, share the surfaces of the earth\, and exist in pr
oximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What
we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from\, and
about\, this common bind?
\nIn What World Is This? A Pandemic Phenomenology
\, Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—politica
l\, social\, ecological\, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the se
nse of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of M
ax Scheler\, Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, and critical feminist phenomenology\,
Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our d
isorientation\, precarity\, and social bonds. What World Is This?
offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing\,
capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself\, challeng
e the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimite
d personal liberty and the killing forces of racism\, sexism\, and classis
m\, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shar
ed vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.
\nExposing and opposing forms of injustice that deny the essential inte
rrelationship of living creatures\, Butler argues for a radical social equ
ality and advocates modes of resistance that seek to establish new conditi
ons of livability and a new sense of a shared world.

In the final
part of The Human Condition (1958) Hannah Arendt turns to the dan
ger of ‘world- alienation’. 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.
\n
My 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
