Based on a variety of discoveries and evolutions that are constitutive of modernity (globalization, Protestantism, the invention of the telescope), modern man has adopted an Archimedean, external position vis-à-vis the world. According to Arendt, this ‘view from without’ has gradually jeopardized the experience of a shared world, endangering the foundation of all meaning-giving activities.

Towards a Phenomenological Theory of the Public Realm – presented by Sophie Loidolt @ Wolff Conference Room/D1103 Apr 11 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets What does it mean to be, appear, and act in public? These questions are rarely asked when it comes to the often-diagnosed “structural transformation” (Habermas) of the public sphere. Yet people have a wide variety of “public experiences” every day: from the simple experience of leaving the house and moving on the street to highly networked and technologically mediated public communication and concerted action. In the project I would like to present in its outlines,[...]	12 Comparative Philosophy and Practical Applied Ethics. Laura Specker Sullivan (Fordham) 5:30 pm Comparative Philosophy and Practical Applied Ethics. Laura Specker Sullivan (Fordham) @ Faculty Hoose Apr 12 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm Tickets Comparative philosophy is gaining traction in professional academic philosophy, with specialist journals, organizations, books, and public campaigns. These inroads have been made in canonical areas of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, logic, and value theory. Yet comparative philosophy still plays little role in practical applied ethics, an interdisciplinary research area in which work with practice and policy implications are dominated by the anglophone world. In this article, I explain why comparative work might be especially difficult[...]	13

The question is why. In this public philosophy debate, Nick Riggle (University of San Diego), Nat Hansen (University of Reading), and Zed Adams (The New School) will face off on the question of why arguing about art matters.
