\nIs feminism in crisis? Recently\, in the United States and abroad\, historic events rendered ever more preca rious the lives and well-being of people marginalized by their sex\, gende r\, race\, and class\, often in complexly intersecting and regionally spec ific ways. The rise of right-wing populism transnationally and attacks on reproductive rights\, for example\, exacerbate the challenges feminists co nfront. At the same time\, as external conditions shift\, feminism’s own f aultlines continue to deepen. Feminism’s rising trans-exclusionary conting ent\, certain feminists’ hesitancy to reckon with complicity in racial and colonial violence\, and the ongoing cooptation of feminism by neoliberali sm signal serious internal fractures.
\nAs feminism faces external a nd internal pressures\, how can philosophy help us understand this moment of potential crisis and what\, if anything\, can philosophy do to address it? To devise answers to these urgent questions\, we welcome contributions that focus on:
\n1. The relation between feminism and philosoph y\, including how feminism should intervene in philosophical debates\, and how philosophy should intervene in feminist debates\;
\n2. Ques tions concerning the nature and practice of gender\, sex\, sexuality\, rac e\, class\, and disability that draw on feminist literatures or methodolog ies\;
\n3. Perspectives that integrate different feminist tradit ions to build intersectional and transnational feminist coalitions\;
\n4. Analyses of discourses on sex\, gender\, sexuality\, race\, clas s\, and disability in media\, law\, and the sciences\;
\n5. Tran slating feminist views on sex\, gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, and di sability into public policy and social advocacy.
\nWe welcome contri butions from scholars working in philosophy and who draw on a variety of d isciplinary perspectives. Scholars of all identities\, especially those fr om groups underrepresented and/or marginalized in academia\, are encourage d to submit contributions.
\nPlease send anonymized abstracts of up to 500 words to cunygc.philosophy.conference@gmail.com\, along with any q uestions you may have. The deadline for submissions is September 7th.

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.

\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?

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.

The New School for Social Research Philosophy Department is ho sting our annual Graduate Student Conference April 13-15th 2023 in person in New York City.
\nThis year’s topic is Textures of Change: Social Imaginaries\, Narratives\, and the Possibility of Politics.
\nKeynote Speakers:
\nMaría Pía Lar a (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana)
\nFanny Söderbäck (< em>Södertörn University)
\nEva Von Redecker (Humboldt-Unive rsität zu Berlin)
\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 Center fo r Philosophy of Religion at Rutgers University is pleased to host an in-pe rson\, working-papers conference on the Psychology and Epistemology of Rel igious Experience. We are seeking abstracts (150-350 words) from those int erested in participating. The tentative date is 15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Participants with accepted su bmissions will be given hotel accommodations and a modest honorarium to he lp defray travel costs.
\nTheme
\nThe overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign religious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious beliefs. But religious exp eriences of the kind philosophers are interested in are also studied in ot her fields as well\, such as psychology and religious studies. However\, t he psychology and epistemology of religious experiences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely to be insightful in variou s ways. To that end\, we are interested in bringing together scholars work ing on the psychology and epistemology of religious experiences. Potential topics include:
\n· The nature of religious experiences
\n· Taxonomies of religious experiences
\n· Potential p sychological mechanisms and accounts of religious experience
\n· The relation between perception and religious experiences
\n· The epistemology of religious experience
\n· The interactio ns between the psychology and epistemology of religious experience
\n· The relation of cognitive science of religion to religious experi ence
\nAny proposed papers on these topics\, or similar ones\, are w elcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary approaches are also welcome.
\nInstructions
\nPlease submit an abstract (150-350 words )\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full paper to Timothy Perrine at tp654@scarletm ail.rutgers.edu. Submission should be prepared for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, institutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information. Submission deadline is 28 February \; acceptances will be decided by 5 March\; and the workshop will be held 15-16 April.

\n\nRichard J. 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.

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.

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?

URL:https://www.noahgreenstein.com/wordpress/event/democracy-today/ X-COST-TYPE:free X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n
\\nDemocracy is often presented as the sine qua non of politics today. Yet our ow n democratic political orders across the West consistently fail to deliver the desiderata they promise to provide. Does this failure arise in part f rom the theoretical insufficiency of conventional diagnoses of democracy’s challenges and ills? As the primaries for the 2024 U.S. presidential elec tion open\, we invite participants to consider critically the status of de mocracy with an eye toward the concerns that have defined Telos over its 5 5-year history.
\nThe main advantage of democracy over other politic al forms is that\, by allowing broader participation in decision-making\, it prevents domination of the many by the few. In theory\, it also fosters decision-making that is comparatively effective and meaningful by allowin g views and information from the many to be communicated efficiently to po litical leaders\, while also holding the latter to account for their actio ns. At the same time\, a major difficulty of democracy is that the rule by the many requires some procedure for translating a multitude of opinions into unified decisions and action. In addition\, precisely by exercising i ts majority will\, the many can trammel the integrity of the individual—th e key threat that liberalism seeks to hold at bay.
\nThese advantage s—and\, especially\, these challenges—have produced two competing visions of democracy in the contemporary West. Their division reflects differences about the politics of representation and decision-making. On one hand\, l iberals view democracy as the following of appropriate procedures for chan neling the opinions of the multitude through the election of representativ es. On the other hand\, populists might disregard such procedural restrict ions to arrive at outcomes that are acclaimed by the people directly.
\nWhile both sides nod to the importance of the popular will\, both are in fact willing to denigrate it. The liberal camp reacts in horror when d emocratic elections result in the election of populists\, who are said to lack proper governing expertise\, as in the 2016 victory of Donald Trump. The populist camp charges conspiracy when electoral results fail to reflec t their own conception of the people’s will\, as in Trump’s reaction to hi s 2020 ouster. Depending on which camp is describing the times\, the false mediator of popular will is either the demagogue or the bureaucrat—Telos has long opposed both.
\nDifferent narratives\, in turn\, have taken hold about democracy’s present challenges. From the point of view of the liberal proceduralist critique of demagogues\, the means of moving from a multiplicity of opinions to a unified decision inevitably involves discour se within a public sphere. This discourse depends on a common understandin g of historical facts\, as well as a public sphere that allows different p erspectives to face each other in debate. In our contemporary world\, howe ver\, the breakdown of previous limits to accessing the public sphere has led to an inability to arrive at a consensus on the difference between fac t and fiction\, as well as an increasing tendency of citizens to exist wit hin a social media echo chamber of their own views\, undermining the commo n ground that a public sphere presupposes.
\nAt the same time\, publ ic debate necessarily implicates values and identities that have an ultima tely mythic basis that cannot be rationally determined. People’s opinions\ , moreover\, are invariably shaped by leaders as much as the people shape what leaders ought to do. Experts lament how this representational dynamic undermines the procedures that govern and channel the representation of t he popular will. Yet the narrative aspect of representation is an ineradic able element of the way in which the popular will coalesces. The process o f narrativized representation will never be an entirely rational one\, and the prominence of media personalities such as Reagan\, Trump\, and Zelens ky as politicians underlines the futility of attempting to rid the public sphere of drama and spectacle.
\nFor the populist\, by contrast\, th e primary threat to democracy lies in bureaucracy. In his 2016 end run aro und the political establishment\, Trump’s electoral success was driven by a broader critique of the administrative state’s undermining of democratic process. The rise of the managerial bureaucratic state that was set in mo tion by the development of the welfare state in the twentieth century has created a class divide between managers and managed that has shifted decis ion-making power over the conditions of everyday life away from individual s and toward government and corporate bureaucracies. Because more and more of our economic and social welfare is under the direct influence of the s tate\, the resultant bloated administrative state has now become prey to a frenzy of lobbyists\, who further distance the people from political deci sion-making. The protections of minority rights that constitute the libera l aspect of today’s democracies have turned communities into special inter ests that lobby administrators to pass on privileges to favored groups. Th e result has been a growing restriction of freedom of expression in the pu blic sphere and an eroding of a unifying basis for constructing a politica l order now dominated by the collusion of bureaucracy with corporations. p>\n
While the liberal critique of demagoguery resorts to more governmen t controls that exacerbate the expansion of bureaucracy\, the populist cri tique of bureaucracy has attempted to dismantle government without conside ring how to establish mechanisms that would take over the functions that b ureaucracies have coopted. Focusing on opposition to government\, the popu list perspective often lacks any sense of alternative institutional struct ures that could remedy the administration and commodification of everyday life.
\nBoth sides have contributed to a polarization of views that threatens the underlying consensus necessary for democratic politics. The political gridlock that has ensued from their diverging diagnoses has mean t that our political orders consistently fail to deliver peace\, prosperit y\, and accountable government. Moreover\, regardless of the rhetoric or c redentials of those in power\, democracy today seems always to leave us wi th broadly the same basic policies\, despite some of them being deeply unp opular.

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.

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. In 2019\, and 2020/21 he was also Visiting Associate Professor of German at Harvard University.

\\nIn 1931\, Max Horkheimer proposed a model of interdisciplinary research that remains a benchmark for understanding how cultures function and might function bette r. He imagined an institute “in which philosophers\, sociologists\, econom ists\, historians\, and psychologists are brought together in permanent co llaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institute would not work with a si ngle theory but would let data lead to new hypotheses (Horkheimer 1993\, 1 0). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues rarely lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically grounded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s his tory of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialectic of Enlightenment\, with c urrent research on the development of early human cultures by Richard Wran gham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Joseph Henrich and Cecilia Hey es. The comparison with recent research in anthropology\, sociology\, phil osophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of the deep conceptual commitm ents that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current approaches jointly suggest tha t human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded\; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; that learning occurs in cont ext through imitation\; and that customs and institutions develop continge ntly and by accident through processes of cooperation and collaboration. T hese new insights invite a radical re-thinking of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The resulting picture of enviro nmentally embedded process of cultural evolution is a first step towards r evitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of the early Frankfurt School\ , and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\, and sustainable routes suc h critique can take in the 21st century.
