The Myth of the Ungiven @ CUNY Grad Center C198
Oct 31 @ 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm

The Saul Kripke Center is pleased to announce that Kit Fine (Silver Professor and University Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics at NYU) will deliver the 6th Saul Kripke Lecture on October 31st, 2024, from 4:00 to 6:30 pm. The talk is free and open to all, and will be held in-person only at the CUNY Graduate Center (Room C198).

Title: The Myth of the Ungiven

Abstract: The notion of a borderline case has been thought to be central to our understanding of vagueness. I shall argue that there is no intelligible notion that can play this role and that an alternative framework for understanding vagueness needs to be found.

Roy Ben-Shai, “Critique of Critical Reason” @ Wolff Conference Rm D1103
Nov 14 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

What is critique? According to the Kantian tradition, it is an investigation of the transcendental conditions for the possibility of thinking and experience. While later critics shifted the focus to material conditions, core metaphysical commitments and procedures of critique remained unchanged. Critique of Critique (Stanford UP, 2023), the subject of this talk, probes critique as an orientation of thought through its historical manifestations from Plato to the Frankfurt school and present-day critical theory. In the process, it asks us to consider what critical thinking is and whether it can assume orientations other than critique.

Bio: Roy Ben-Shai is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Sarah Lawrence College. His recently published book, Critique of Critique (Stanford University Press, 2023), is the first volume in a trilogy on the concept of “orientation” in critical thought. He is currently working on the second volume, Emancipatory Thinking, or the Art of Thinking Otherwise. He is an NSSR alum (MA Philosophy 2005, PhD Philosophy 2012).
