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. My talk can[...]	5 MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective 10:00 am MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective @ Highline 9 Gallery 5 Apr 5 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Tickets MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective	6 MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective 10:00 am MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective @ Highline 9 Gallery 5 Apr 6 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Tickets MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective

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 MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective 10:00 am MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective @ Highline 9 Gallery 5 Apr 12 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Tickets MC Escher: A Mini-Retrospective	13 Long Island Philosophical Society (LIPS) 2024 Conference Long Island Philosophical Society (LIPS) 2024 Conference @ Philosophy Dept, Molloy University Apr 13 all-day Tickets The Long Island Philosophical Society is seeking submissions for its Spring 2024 conference which will be held Saturday, April 13, 2024 on the attractive campus of Molloy University, located in Rockville Centre, NY.

Art is one of the best things to argue about. 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.
