\nThis day-long symposium will be chaired by Yann Toma and Sandra Laugier. From the organizers:
\nWe have noticed it du
ring the two previous symposia of our program: the pragmatist philosophy a
nd in particular Dewey defends the idea that aesthetics must not only be c
onsidered as the search for truths about art and its creations but also as
what concerns the experience of the persons with an artwork (a sensitive
and active experience). The reception would thus be the dynamic experience
of an incarnated observer\, acting\, feeling in his senses and his affect
s what is the work and what it makes him feel.
\n
The political stake of the pragmatist aesthetics is to make sure that the stro ng aesthetic experiences remain open and accessible to the largest public and become even a «matter of ordinary conversation». It is then a matter o f thinking about shared experience as a transmission of values\, an import ant phenomenon for the moral\, political\, “educational” reflection of adu lts» (Cavell 1979\, 1981\, Shusterman\, Laugier 2019\, 2023\, Gerrits 2020 ). Thus\, this question of pragmatism addresses societal issues that conce rn all audiences\, not just from a broadcast/transmission perspective. By focusing on experience and agency\, this way of approaching pragmatism inv olves the cultural audience in a broad way to the point where it engages m ediums such as television and in general digital cultures.
\nThe concept of Post-Creation\, insofar as it plays a form of exteriority t o an original Creation\, has all its place in a world where the strong aes thetic experiences remain open and accessible to a wider public. It is a q uestion of placing the creation beyond what is biased\, in the heart of a form of Third State of the artistic act in charge of a heuristic and criti cal potential\, towards a form extracted from the zone of influence of the world of the art as such. The idea of Post-Creation tends towards the uni versal that would be the fact of conceiving the creation beyond any not in stitutionalized academism. We will see how a possible emulation between th e ordinary aesthetic and the shared experience of the Post-Creation is art iculated and played\, where the experience of the creation produces knowle dge and transforms what is out of the specific field of perception of the art in so many new acting and reflexive spaces. In that\, the influence of the artistic creation on whole sections of the society\, domains of perce ption until now inaccessible\, becomes a stake of opening which results fr om the transformation of a form of ordinary aesthetics in a Post-Creation freed from the aesthetic channels of the contemporary art.

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.

The theme of the conference & post-conference pedagogy workshop refle cts the difficulty in creating and maintaining respectful discourse in hig her-education classrooms\, especially surrounding controversial empirical\ , moral\, and political issues. Some argue that this is an equity issue. U ndergraduate students who come from rural and/or underprivileged areas are more likely to experience alienation on campus\, sometimes because they h ave never been exposed to certain “politically correct” language or ideas\ , and sometimes simply because they lack the financial and social capital that their peers have. It seems crucial (and follows from democratic and c ivic values) to foster safe learning environments for all students\, espec ially those students who are more likely to feel alienated on college camp uses and in elite spaces. At the same time\, some argue that the aim of hi gher education is purely epistemological\, and not civic or democratic. Pr oponents of this view might hold that free speech and academic freedom mus t be properly protected for higher education to perform its proper social function: education.

\nT he committee for the Graduate Student Conference on Philosophy of Educatio n (GSCOPE) invites abstracts for papers on the topic of Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Controversy. The theme of the conference & post-conferenc e pedagogy workshop reflects the difficulty in creating and maintaining re spectful discourse in higher-education classrooms\, especially surrounding controversial empirical\, moral\, and political issues. Some argue that t his is an equity issue. Undergraduate students who come from rural and/or underprivileged areas are more likely to experience alienation on campus\, sometimes because they have never been exposed to certain “politically co rrect” language or ideas\, and sometimes simply because they lack the fina ncial and social capital that their peers have. It seems crucial (and foll ows from democratic and civic values) to foster safe learning environments for all students\, especially those students who are more likely to feel alienated on college campuses and in elite spaces. At the same time\, some argue that the aim of higher education is purely epistemological\, and no t civic or democratic. Proponents of this view might hold that free speech and academic freedom must be properly protected for higher education to p erform its proper social function: education. What is the appropriate rela tionship between higher education\, knowledge-production\, teaching\, free speech\, and democracy? How can higher education instructors and professo rs be effective teachers in the light of these relationships?
\nPape rs must pertain to higher educationbut maybe about anything from interpers onal classroom dynamicstoinstitutional policies to campus controversy. We are particularly interested in papers that explore the following topics: p>\n

\nPost-Conference Pedagogy Workshop
\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.

How does objectivity shape power\, and how does power shape ob jectivity?
\nWelcome to “Unmasking Objectivity: A Critical Examinati on of the Nexus between Universal Truth Claims and Emergent Power Structur es\,” a conference that plunges into the intricate relationship between kn owledge and power. In this conference\, we will uncover how epistemologica l standpoints intersect with systems of coercion\, marginalization\, and o ppression. Our topic extends to alternative visions of knowledge\, truth\, and learning\, offering the potential for shared beliefs while addressing the adverse impacts of entrenched power structures.
\nHow have clai ms to absolute\, objective\, or scientific truth driven oppression through ideologies like religious absolutism\, colonialism\, technocracy\, and sc ientific sexism and racism? Contemporary debates further emphasize the sig nificance of this intersection.
\nOur discourse will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether universalist epistemologies privi lege specific knowledge systems while silencing valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues overlooked by dominant knowl edge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. This conference fosters criti cal exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawing on interdisciplinary stu dies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political theory.
\nTogether\, we will assess the ethical implications of our epistemological practices a nd explore pathways to creating more equitable systems of knowledge and so cial learning. Join us at “Unmasking Objectivity” as we navigate the intri cate web of knowledge and power\, aiming for a just and inclusive future w here the notion of objectivity is both scrutinized and harnessed for socia l transformation.

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 e xplain what connects this past and the present. Are we talking about one r acism with many different past and present forms? Or are there multiple ra cisms that only share some similar features? In this talk\, I draw attenti on to how these divisions play out particularly in contemporary Black Stud ies and argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resources for thinking about these questions through his discussions of repetition. I argue that understanding our conversations about structural racism and history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to bett er understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate fo rms 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 work has appeared in Theory and Event\, Pu ncta\, Philosophy Today\, Critical Philosophy of Race\, Political Theology \, and other venues.

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.
