Philosophy of Crisis and a Question of Solidarity. Jin Y. Park (American)
5:30 pm
Philosophy of Crisis and a Question of Solidarity. Jin Y. Park (American)
@ Faculty House, Columbia U
Mar 3 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
The COVID-19 pandemic is said to be a once-in-a-century incident, and it brought to us a sense of crisis at various levels. What is a crisis, though? Can any unnerving moment or period be called a crisis, or are there different dimensions of a crisis to which we need to be attentive? Is solidarity possible after experiencing a crisis like Covid-19? Can Buddhism make any contribution to facilitating solidarity? This presentation explores the meaning and[...]

Rethinking Critique: Dialectic of Enlightenment and Models of Cultural Evolution. Benjamin Morgan
6:00 pm
Rethinking Critique: Dialectic of Enlightenment and Models of Cultural Evolution. Benjamin Morgan
@ Wolff Conference Room/D1103
Mar 9 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
In 1931, Max Horkheimer proposed a model of interdisciplinary research that remains a benchmark for understanding how cultures function and might function better. 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 hypotheses (Horkheimer 1993, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues rarely lived up to[...]

On Kripke’s proof of Kripke completeness. Melvin Fitting (CUNY)

On Kripke’s proof of Kripke completeness. Melvin Fitting (CUNY)
@ CUNY Grad Center Room 9205/9206
Mar 13 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Saul Kripke announced his possible world semantics in 1959, and published his proof of axiomatic completeness for the standard modal logics of the time in 1963. It is very unlike the standard completeness proof used today, which involves a Lindenbaum/Henkin construction and produces canonical models. Kripke’s proof involved tableaus, in a format that is difficult to follow, and uses tableau construction algorithms that are complex and somewhat error prone to describe. I will first discuss[...]

Logic and inference in the sender-receiver model. Shawn Simpson (Pitt)

Logic and inference in the sender-receiver model. Shawn Simpson (Pitt)
@ CUNY Grad Center Room 9205/9206
Mar 20 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
The sender-receiver model was developed by David Lewis to tackle the question of the conventionality of meaning. But many people who cared about the conventionality of meaning did so because they thought it was intimately connected to the conventionality of logic. Since Lewis’s work, only a few attempts have been made to say anything about the nature of logic and inference from the perspective of the sender-receiver model. This talk will look at the what’s[...]

Political Concepts Graduate Conference
Political Concepts Graduate Conference
@ New School tbd
Mar 24 – Mar 25 all-day
Political Concepts: A Critical Lexicon began as a multidisciplinary, web-based journal in which an assemblage of contributions focused on a single concept with the express intention of re-situating its meaning in the field of political discourse. By reflecting on what has remained unquestioned or unthought in that concept, this all-around collection of essays seeks to open pathways for another future—one that is not already determined and ill-fated. From this forum for engaged scholarship, a succession[...]

First-order logics over fixed domain. Gregory Taylor (CUNY)

First-order logics over fixed domain. Gregory Taylor (CUNY)
@ CUNY Grad Center Room 9205/9206
Mar 27 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
What we call first-order logic over fixed domain was initiated, in a certain guise, by Peirce around 1885 and championed, albeit in idiosyncratic form, by Zermelo in papers from the 1930s. We characterize such logics model- and proof-theoretically and argue that they constitute exploration of a clearly circumscribed conception of domain-dependent generality. Whereas a logic, or family of such, can be of interest for any of a variety of reasons, we suggest that one of[...]

Echoes. Beyond the opposition between appearance and reality. Jocelyn Benoist

Echoes. Beyond the opposition between appearance and reality. Jocelyn Benoist
@ Wolff Conference Room/D1103
Mar 30 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Western metaphysics is based on the opposition between reality and appearance. This construction essentially rests on a visual model, or more exactly on some staging of what visual experience is. I am going to question the basis of this metaphysics, by taking into account the reality of appearances and reflecting on their various uses, in particular artistic ones. This path will be taken in the first place by shifting the focus of philosophical analysis from[...]
