SUMMARY:Émilie Du Châtelet on Matter\, Bodies\, Forces\, and Motion
DESCRIPTION:The Libori Summer School “Émilie Du Châtelet: Matter\, Bodies\, Forces\, Motion” focuses on some of the chapters from Du Châtelet’s Institutions de physique (1740/42) within the context of the scientific thinking of her time.\nIn the early 18th century\, the Dutch physicist Willem Jacob ‘s Gravesande\, at Leiden University\, performed a number of experiments wherein he dropped balls of different mass on soft clay\, finding that if the heights from which the balls fell were inversely proportional to their masses\, the indentations made by the balls would be the same. He concluded that the measure of the force of the impact on the clay is given by the weight times the velocity squared and that\, in the case under consideration\, equal forces are produced if the velocities squared are inversely the same as the masses. Gravesande communicated his results on the impact of falling weights to Émilie du Châtelet. In her Institutions de physique (1740/42)\, du Châtelet combined the practical observations of Gravesande to the Leibnizian idea of living forces in order to show that the energy of a moving object is proportional to the square of its velocity: “Maintenant\, enfin\, il y avait une justification forte pour considérer mv2 comme une définition féconde de l’énergie.” \n\n\n\n\nThe Libori Summer School on Émilie Du Châtelet aims to take a closer look at the complexities and interrelations between metaphysical reasoning\, mathematical demonstrative methodology\, and experimental philosophy beyond the outdated empiricism-rationalism scheme\, focusing on the conceptual foundations and formations of theories of motion. This development can be best understood as emancipation from Cartesianism\, Newtonianism\, and Leibnizianism. Émilie Du Châtelet played a key role in this foundational change. Encouraged by the reception of Newton’s Principia in France after 1730 by Voltaire and Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis and the experimental results obtained by Willem Jacob ‘s Gravesande\, Du Châtelet constructed an advanced interpretation of Galileo’s experimental results in terms of early Leibnizian notions which was independent from Leibniz’ later metaphysics after 1680. \n\n\n\n\nLanguage: The seminar will be held in English. \nOrganizer/ Lecturer:\nProf. Dr. Ruth Hagengruber (Paderborn University\, Germany)\nDr. Andrea Reichenberger (Paderborn University\, Germany)\nDr. Dr. Dieter Suisky (Humboldt University\, Germany) \nGeneral information:\nAs the number of participants is limited to 15 for each course\, please e-mail a one page letter of motivation and a brief curriculum vitae to contact(at)historyofwomenphilosophers(dot)org and cc to the lecturer andrea(dot)reichenberger(at)uni-paderborn(dot)de until July 15th\, 2017.\nA certificate of participation will be presented to you in the closing ceremony.

SUMMARY:Women Phenomenologists of the Early 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Libori Summer School course “Women Phenomenologists of the Early 20th Century”: In 1907\, the Göttingen Circle of phenomenologists was founded by Theodor Conrad – one of many students of Theodor Lipps who travelled from Munich to study with Husserl – and Alfred von Sybel – one of Husserl’s early Göttingen followers. Over the next three decades\, students from around the globe flocked to study with Husserl in Göttingen and in Freiburg. Among these students were numerous women\, some of whom rose to prominence within the early phenomenological movement\, namely\, Hedwig Martius\, Edith Stein\, and Gerda Walther.  \nMartius\, who would later marry Theodor Conrad\, was one of the so-called “invaders” who came to Göttingen from Munich. On the advice of Moritz Geiger\, Martius studied with Husserl\, as well as Adolf Reinach and Max Scheler\, from WS 1910/11 – SS 1912. While studying with Husserl\, she authored Die erkenntnistheoretischen Grundlagen des Positivismus (1913)\, which then served as her doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Alexander Pfänder back in Munich. Despite her philosophical acumen and the respect of her colleagues for works such as her Zur Ontologie und Erscheinungslehre der realen Aussenwelt (1916) and Realontologie (1923)\, because women were not permitted to habilitate\, Martius was unable to secure an academic position until 1949\, when she became lecturer in natural philosophy\, and then honorary professor in Munich in 1955. In opposition to Husserl\, Martius was a staunch defender of realist phenomenology\, and introduced the concept of “real reality” into phenomenological discourse. \nStein came to Göttingen from Breslau to study with Husserl in 1913 at the urging of her cousin\, Richard Courant. She remained with Husserl until 1918\, completing her dissertation\, Zum Problem der Einfühlung (1917)\, under his supervision\, and then working as his research assistant. In the following years Stein attempted to habilitate twice\, producing the works Beiträge zur philosophischen Begründung der Psychologie und der Geisteswissenschaften (1922) and Potenz und Akt (1931). Unfortunately\, she was rejected both times. In 1932\, she obtained a position teaching philosophy at the German Institute for Pedagogical Science in Münster. However\, she was removed from her position in the spring of 1932 due to her Jewish ancestry. She died at Auschwitz in 1942. Stein is widely regarded as one of Husserl’s greatest students\, though her personal and intellectual relationship with the “Master” was often strained. \n\n\n\n\nWalther was one of the founding members of the Freiburg group of phenomenologists. Like many others\, she came to work with Husserl after first studying with Pfänder in Munich. From the summer semester of 1917 to the summer semester of 1919\, she attended lectures and seminars by Husserl\, Stein\, and Heidegger. Her dissertation\, Ein Beitrag zur Ontologie der sozialen Gemeinschaften: Mit einem Anhang zur Phänomenologie der sozialen Gemeinschaften (1922)\, combined elements of Husserl’s mature thought with Pfänder’s views on values and sentiments. After publishing what many consider to be her magnum opus\, Phänomenologie der Mystik (1923)\, she became deeply interested in the paranormal and the occult. This led to her being ostracized from the phenomenological community\, and as a result her place in the phenomenological movement has been largely overlooked. \nThe aim of this summer school is to discuss and critically assess the philosophical works of Hedwig Conrad-Martius\, Edith Stein\, and Gerda Walther. Texts from each of these women will be read\, contextualized\, compared\, and contrasted. Special attention will be paid to how they built on and departed from the work of their phenomenological teachers – Husserl\, Pfänder\, Reinach\, Scheler – and how the works of the early women of phenomenology engaged in a dialogue with each other. Topics which may be covered include: the concept of being\, the realism/idealism debate\, the status of the I\, empathy\, religious experience\, and their critiques of Husserl. \n\nLanguage: The seminar will be held in English. Where possible\, primary texts will be made available in English.\n\n\n\nLecturer:\nProf. Dr. Ronny Miron (Bar-Ilan University\, Israel)\nProf. Dr. Antonio Calcagno (King’s University College\, Canada)\nDr. Rodney K.B. Parker (Paderborn University\, Germany)  \nOrganizer: Julia Mühl (Paderborn University\, Germany) \nGeneral information:\nAs the number of participants is limited to 15 for each course\, please e-mail a one page letter of motivation and a brief curriculum vitae to contact(at)historyofwomenphilosophers(dot)org and cc to the lecturer julia.muehl(at)upb(dot)de until July 15th\, 2017.\nEverybody interested in this topic is welcome to attend this seminar.

SUMMARY:Helene Druskowitz and Modern Misandry
DESCRIPTION:This Libori Summer School course “Helene Druskowitz and Modern Misandry” will offer an overview over a minimally investigated “third voice” in the history of ideas: man-hating (misandry\, viriphobia). As some would argue\, misandry\, though more covertly than misogyny\, has always been present in the public discourse of our civilization. However\, around the fin de siècle misogynistic discourse reached an apex: as an answer to it we have two different movements. The first is the widely known and investigated turn-of-the-century feminism that lead to philosophical\, political\, and cultural changes such as the improvement of women’s education\, political rights\, better paid work\, intensifying discourse of the equality of sexes\, equal human rights etc. The second is much less known – misandry\, which regards the human male as constitutionally inferior to and morally more deficient than woman. \nThe focus of our investigation will be Helene (von) Druskowitz (1856–1918) and the context in which she lived and developed her thought. She was a philosopher\, writer\, literary and music critic\, and the first woman in Austria and the second woman in German-speaking countries to obtain a doctorate in philosophy. Besides her academic and literary activities\, she set up journals with topics related to the emancipation of women (Fehderuf\, Der heilige Kampf). Her initial enthusiasm for Nietzsche\, with whom she was personally acquainted\, and his philosophical positions were soon replaced by resentment and disillusionment and she turned into a severe critic of his works. As an antithesis to Nietzsche’s antifeminist positions\, Druskowitz forms her radically feminist position that culminates in her work Pessimistic Cardinal Propositions – Man as a Logical and Moral Impossibility from 1905. In it she depicts a dark futuristic philosophical anti-utopia in which men are destroying the world and fantasizes about the world that would flourish if it were solely inhabited by women. With such radical positions\, she was more than 60 years ahead: it was only in the late 1960s that similar radical positions were expressed\, e.g. in the SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Jean Solanas.\nIn the Libori Summer School we will enquire into following contexts regarding Helene Druskowitz: \n\nHelene Druskowitz’ Philosophy (criticism of religion\, the Free Will problem\, ethics)\nLiterary works of Helene Druskowitz (from: International\, Das Männerproletariat oder die Fällung des Mannes als Tier und Denker)\nHelene von Druskowitz’ feminism and misandry ‘\nDruskowitz’ legacy\n\nLanguage: The seminar will be held in English. \nOrganizer/ Lecturer:\nDr. Dr. Luka Borsic (University of Zagreb\, Croatia)\, Dr. Ivana Skuhala Karasman (University of Zagreb\, Croatia)\, Jessica Harmening (Paderborn University\, Germany) \nGeneral information: As the number of participants is limited to 15 for each course\, please e-mail a one page letter of motivation and a brief curriculum vitae to contact(at)historyofwomenphilosophers(dot)org and cc to jessica.harmening(at)upb(dot)de until July 15th\, 2017.\nEverybody interested in this topic is welcome to attend this seminar.

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy - Feminism\, Phenomenology\, and Genealogy
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speakers: Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir\, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Iceland\, specializing in feminist philosophy\, the philosophy of Nietzsche\, and the philosophy of nature and embodiment. Cecilia Malmström Olsson\, PhD at Lund University in Literature\, with special focus on Dance Studies. Malmström Olsson specializes in dance and aesthetics\, as well as dance and politics from different perspectives\, such as identity\, gender\, race\, and power relations.\n\nThe network Feminist Philosophy: Time\, history and the transformation of thought (2017-2019)\, invites scholars to Saulkrasti\, Latvia\, 26 July–2 August 2017.\nThe aim of the conference is to create a space for critical feminist practices of reading. We want to develop and draw connections between philosophy and feminist theory\, informed by historical perspectives. How can feminism revitalize philosophy and interpretations of its history? What would a philosophical feminism look like? What would it mean to read feminist theory historically?\nThe meeting in Saulkrasti is the second out of a total of six conferences during a three-year period.\nThe first conference Feminist Utopias was held in collaboration with the University of Iceland in March 2017\, attracting about 60 scholars from all over the world.
