Rodrigo Nunes on “One or Two Melancholias? 1917, 1968 and the Question of Organisation” 6:00 pm
Rodrigo Nunes on “One or Two Melancholias? 1917, 1968 and the Question of Organisation” @ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Sep 13 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
This presentation weaves together two themes that have been recurrent in philosophical and political debates of recent years. The first is a revival of interest in Walter Benjamin’s concept of “leftwing melancholy” and the identification of melancholia as an intrinsic element of the left’s “structure of feeling” or desire; the second is the call for a return to the question of political organisation. By contrasting different accounts of left melancholia, I suggest that we might[...]

What Contains What? The Relationship Between Mind and World, in Science and in Contemplation – Piet Hut (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) 5:30 pm
What Contains What? The Relationship Between Mind and World, in Science and in Contemplation – Piet Hut (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) @ Faculty House, Garden rm 1
Sep 14 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
There is a clear need for a worldview that includes science and contemplation, arguably the two greatest achievements of humanity in studying the nature of reality. In my talk I will focus on the possibilities for future integration of aspects of science and contemplation, and perhaps even some far-future form of unification. For these developments to proceed, two things must happen. From the science side, the role of the subject needs to be analyzed in[...]

Applying Causal Modeling to Philosophical Issues – Sander Beckers (Utrecht) 4:15 pm
Applying Causal Modeling to Philosophical Issues – Sander Beckers (Utrecht) @ CUNY Grad Center, 7395
Sep 17 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Abstract: Causal modeling was developed within Artificial Intelligence over the last few decades in order to formally capture causal information, which is notably absent from statistics. Aside from the undeniable impact this has had on Artificial Intelligence, where talk of causal networks has become commonplace, the resulting formalisms were also eagerly picked up by philosophers working on causation. In particular, causal modeling has been used rather successfully in constructing formal definitions of actual causation, aka[...]

Serene J. Khader on “Towards a Decolonial Feminist Universalism” 6:00 pm
Serene J. Khader on “Towards a Decolonial Feminist Universalism” @ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Sep 20 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
I argue we can make progress in three contemporary debates about transnational feminisms by a) clarifying the normative commitments central to feminism and b) rethinking the role of normative ideals in transnational political practices. These debates concern the purported tension between taking seriously critiques of Western imperialism and retaining feminism’s status as a normative doctrine. Understanding feminism as opposition to sexist oppression unthethers feminism from commitments to controversial forms of individualism and antitraditionalism. Understanding transnational[...]

The Quantified Argument Calculus, with Application to the Barcan Formulas and Necessary Existence (Hanoch Ben-Yami) 4:15 pm
The Quantified Argument Calculus, with Application to the Barcan Formulas and Necessary Existence (Hanoch Ben-Yami) @ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Sep 24 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
I present a logic system I recently developed (RSL 2014), the Quantified Argument Calculus or Quarc. Quarc is closer in syntax and logical properties to Natural Language than is the Predicate Calculus, on any of its versions, and it is no less powerful than the first-order Predicate Calculus. This makes analysing the Barcan formulas and necessary existence by its means particularly interesting. As we shall see, the analogues in Quarc of the Barcan formulas and[...]
