SUMMARY:Emily Thomas: "Travel Writing as Thought Experiments: Science\, Francis Bacon\, and Margaret Cavendish’s Blazing World"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT \nTravel has a long and intimate history with philosophy. Travel also has a long and intimate relationship with fiction. Sometimes travel fiction acts as ‘thought experiments’\, experiments that we can run through in our heads. This talk explores a 1666 fiction travelogue\, Margaret Cavendish’s Blazing World. In the novel\, a virtuous young lady is kidnapped and travels by boat through the North Pole into a new world. I argue this is no mere piece of science fiction. Instead\, this travelogue acts as a distinctly philosophical thought experiment\, exploring the philosophy of science\, utopias\, and what it means to be real. \nSPEAKER PROFILE \nEmily Thomas is an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Durham University. She has written a lot on space and time in early modern and early twentieth century philosophy. She also has research interest in other metaphysical issues\, including substance\, change\, motion\, idealism\, process\, personal identity\, and philosophy of religion. Thomas likes digging out the work of rich but under-studied figures\, including women philosophers who have traditionally been neglected in the history of philosophy. \nIn 2018 she published two books: Absolute Time: Rifts in Early Modern British Metaphysics (Oxford University Press) and Early Modern Women on Metaphysics(Cambridge University Press). Her work has been supported by a Veni research grant from the Netherlands Research Council and a Rising Star grant from the British Academy. \nRecently\, she’s been thinking about philosophical issues in travel. What is travel? What are maps? How has philosophy affected travel\, and how has travel affected philosophy? She’s writing a book on this\, for which she is represented by United Agents. \nAttendance is free\, but for planning purposes advance registration is requested. Registration will be available on March 1\, 2019. \nCan’t make it in person? This event will be live streamed. Tune in to the Western University livestream channel on April 5\, 2019 at 2:00 pm EST. \nWebpage

SUMMARY:The Unknown Du Châtelet: Inedita from St. Petersburg
DESCRIPTION:On January 23rd the Center History of Women Philosophers and Scientists celebrated its acquisition of the manuscripts of Emilie Du Châtelet from the Russian National Library of St. Petersburg with a workshop. Some members of the Center’s research group on the work of Du Châtelet presented first new insights into the manuscripts. Moreover\, it welcomed Prof. Sarah Hutton (University of York)\, a longtime supporter of the Center\, as commentator and two scholars from Greece\, Prof. George Vlahakis (Hellenic Open University Patras) and Prof. Manolis Patiniotis (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens). The Greek guests contributed to the workshop’s aim to present new insights and approaches in Du Châtelet studies a valuable presentation on the “Greek” Emilie and her role for the re-appearance of metaphysics in natural philosophy books during modern Greek Enlightenment. \nThe workshop started with some words of welcome by Sarah Hutton who recapitulated the history of the Center which goes back to 2006 when it began as a teaching and research area and an international conference in Potsdam “Emilie Du Châtelet und die deutsche Aufklärung” on the occasion of her 300th birthday. \nAna Rodrigues presented in her talk Du Châtelets moral and social philosophy in the light of her critical reception of the works of La Mettrie and Mandeville. Both thinkers are of eminent importance in the development of her thoughts on morals. Especially her reception of Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees at the beginning of her scientific career is fundamental as she develops in her commentary and so-called translation her anthropological premises and foundation of morals. Ana Rodrigues suggested in her talk a new reading of this work that presents a particular challenge to the interpreter as we still don’t have a fitting genre designation for this kind of text. A new interpretative approach as suggested in this talk promises to open up a completely renewed debate about Du Châtelet’s moral philosophy which has been underestimated so far. \nStefanie Ertz gave an overview of the content and significance of the St. Petersburg manuscripts of Émilie Du Châtelet and presented cross sections from her editorial work. The St. Petersburg convolute contains\, not only several copies of Mme Du Châtelet‘s translation of Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees but also two major pieces (the Chapitre 5 sur la liberté and her annotations to Voltaire‘s Traité de Métaphysique) documenting her controversial exchange with Voltaire on the issue of free will\, the foundation of morals\, and the basic principles of human society. The production period of these writings was also a period of her most intensive reflection on the epistemological foundations of natural science and on the basic notions of scientific ontology\, so that the St. Petersburg papers are of invaluable importance for the reconstruction of Mme Du Châtelet’s metaphysical thought\, and\, once edited in the form they deserve\, promise to contribute substantially to our knowledge of Mme Du Châtelet’s intellectual biography. \nFinally\, George Vlahakis and Manolis Patiniotis demonstrated in their common presentation the impact the French philosopher Du Châtelet had in the formation of the natural philosophy discourse in the Orthodox millet of the Ottoman Empire during the so-called long 18th century. Du Châtelet’s ideas and methodological approach are to be found in almost every text of natural philosophy composed in the context of Modern Greek Enlightenment and in some cases also in works compiled after the establishment of the independent Greek State. \n  \nVlahakis and Patiniotis presented some examples about the way Greek scholars used arguments proposed by Du Châtelet considering the treatment of “Newtonian” laws of motion and the notion of central forces. Though her work remained in the shadow of the mainstream historiography of science in Greece until recently\, it has become evident that she played a crucial role for the synthesis Greek speaking scholars attempted between the rational examination of nature and metaphysics.

SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt: Challenges of Plurality
DESCRIPTION:In her writings\, Hannah Arendt strongly affirms the plurality of the world. From the very first moment\, when she introduces the notion in The Human Condition\, it becomes clear\, that plurality is the cornerstone of condition humaine. For Arendt\, plurality means that “men\, not Man\, live on the earth and inhabit the world”. This seemingly banal assumption affects her whole political theory considerably.  \nPlurality entails two aspects: equality and difference – we are all humans\, but everyone is exceptional in her or his uniqueness. But as such\, it not only enriches the world\, but also becomes a source of significant challenges: acting together in spite of our differences\, thinking as an inner dialogue with a particularly demanding dialogue partner\, judging politically with respect to an ever-changing spectrum of possible standpoints are all challenging practices we confront in the common world.  \nThis conference aims at exploring challenges posed by plurality\, but also opportunities it offers. As an interdisciplinary endeavor\, it opens up for different approaches to Arendt\, inviting scholars from fields such as philosophy\, politics\, theology\, media studies\, sociology\, gender studies\, history\, and others. It also prompts examination of interplay with other theorists (such as Agamben\, Butler\, Cavarero\, Foucault\, Habermas or Merlaeu-Ponty). We want to tackle currently relevant problems\, such as migration politics and human rights\, but also raise ever-present issues\, such as the philosophical potential of the concept of plurality\, possible foundations of normativity in our contingent world\, or stimuli of political action. \n  \nConference website: \nClick here \nSubmission guidelines: \nThe deadline for submissions has passed. \nOrganizers: \nTobias Matzner\, Paderborn University \nMaria Robaszkiewicz\, Paderborn University \nJochen Schmidt\, Paderborn University \nContact: \nMaria Robaszkiewicz: maria.robaszkiewicz@upb.de \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ana Rodrigues - "Gender und Genre in der Aufklärung: Émilie du Châtelets reaktionäre Aneignung von Bernard de Mandevilles Fable of the Bees"
DESCRIPTION:Emilie Du Châtelet’s works on morals differ in a decisive aspect from her writings on natural philosophy. Whereas the latter as the Dissertation sur la nature et la propagation du feu or the Institutions de physique were published during her lifetime and contributed to the official scientific debate\, her works on morals circulated only as manuscripts and as such were part of a different stream of Enlightenment debate. The respective writings\, her translation of parts of Bernard de Mandeville’s The Fable of the Bees and her Réflexions sur le Bonheur\, are each closely related to the works of philosophers who are widely considered contributors to the debates subsumed under the name of ‘Radical Enlightenment’: Bernard de Mandeville and Julien Offray de La Mettrie. In her talk Ana Rodrigues will present Du Châtelet’s transformation of parts of Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees. Though designated as a translation\, the text eventually turns out an adaptation which\, on the one hand\, contains a radical criticism of Mandeville’s main theses and\, on the other hand\, formulates the foundations of her own moral and social philosophy.

SUMMARY:Emilie du Châtelet between Leibniz and Kant: The Critical Turn
DESCRIPTION:Emilie du Châtelet was one of the most influential women philosophers of the Enlightenment. Her innovative writings on natural philosophy\, physics\, and mechanics had a decisive impact on pivotal scientific debates of the 18th Century. \nIn her talk\, feminist historian of philosophy Professor Dr Ruth Hagengruber will explore the work of Emilie Du Châtelet along with its impact on 18th Century thought in Germany; particularly on Immanuel Kant. The divisive Kant-Eberhard controversy interrogated Kantian metaphysics and by extension traces an intellectual lineage through the work of Du Châtelet: on this basis\, Hagengruber will redress this historical omission in the canon of academic philosophy. Join us to discuss any aspect of this topic\, or to query Hagengruber on her current work as Head of Philosophy at the University of Paderborn and as Director of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. \n\nThe event will take place in the Von Trott Room in the Jowett Walk Buildings. Entry is free for members\, and will cost £3 for non-members. Membership of the society can be purchased at the door of any of our events. If you have any questions then feel free to contact us on Facebook. \n\nWelcome to Michaelmas term 2018 with the Oxford University\nPhilosophy Society! \nView the Facebook event for more information! \n \n

SUMMARY:Women and Radical Thought: From the Renaissance to the Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:The so-called radical enlightenment was a European movement during the early modern period that was decisive for the formation of modern European democracies; thinkers across Europe were participating in the spread of new and radical ideas. In recent years\, the scholarship on this tradition of thought has flourished\, developed and brought to light many texts\, topics and ways of communication that were hitherto unknown or barely studied. Meanwhile\, the term “Radical Enlightenment” itself came under scrutiny and its meaning and legitimacy became contested. One matter\, however\, is virtually absent from the current discussions: women’s participation in and contributions to radical circles and thought. One may actually ask: Where are the female radicals? The workshop takes up this question and will explore new ways of answering it by following the twofold aim: \n\nto critically investigate and re-assess the historiographical conception of “radical enlightenment” in relation to women’s writings: What would count as radical thought from a female perspective of the period?\nto make visible radical and subversive thought of women from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment.\n\n  \nRead about the speakers \nRead the program here \n  \nThe workshop is funded by: \nThe Centre for Modern European Studies (UCPH)\, cemes.ku.dk \nThe Department of Media Cognition and Communication (UCPH)  mcc.ku.dk \nThe Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists (Paderborn University) historyofwomenphilosophers.org/ \nIn cooperation with Center HWPS

SUMMARY:Strategies of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:In response to the racist\, sexist\, nationalist\, transphobic\, nativist rhetoric and policy of the Trump White House\, our conference theme this year is “Strategies of Resistance.” \nAcross the globe\, individuals and communities are joining together to resist neo-liberalism\, climate change\, and global capital. They are practicing significant actions of solidarity and creatively imagining and prefiguring a new and more just world. From the Black Lives Matter movement\, to rising antifascist activism in the U.S. and Europe\, to solidarity with the Dreamers and their families as well as migrants across the world\, we are living in an age where people are resurrecting old ways and finding new possibilities of joining together to resist unlivable and inhumane conditions. As members of the RPA\, we stand together against the growing police state\, the erosion of healthcare policies\, a colonialist and aggressive foreign policy\, and tax policy that benefits the wealthy at the expense of basic human needs. As much as ever\, we recognize the importance of resistance and solidarity. With the rise of right-wing\, anti-immigrant parties in Europe and the reappearance of blatant white supremacist rhetoric on the mainstream news in the United States\, it is incumbent upon the left to join together to imagine\, share\, and act upon our strategies of resistance. \nCall for Papers

SUMMARY:How to Teach Women Philosophers
DESCRIPTION:For myriad reasons\, women have historically been a minority in institutional philosophy. However\, it is undeniable that they have been ever present. Yet\, beginning at the end of the 18th Century\, their role in the history of philosophy seems to have been systematically erased from textbooks. This has led to the false but pervasive view that prior to the late 18th Century\, there were no women philosophers in history (cf. Lerner 1993). Contemporary textbooks do little to correct this view\, inserting some women throughout the historical narrative\, but with few playing more than a marginal role in the development of Western thought. This apparent tokenism of women often serves to reinforce the idea that women were marginal figures in the history of ideas. History tells us that this was not the case. \nThe purpose of this workshop is to continue the project of rewriting the canon\, and to discuss strategies for teaching women philosophers. \nDie Veranstaltung ist eine Kooperation mit der AG Frauen in der Philosophie: https://dgphil.de/verbaende-und-ags/arbeitsgemeinschaften/ag-frauen-in-der-geschichte-der-philosophie/ \nDiscussion will be in English and German. \nEveryone is welcome to attend and participate in the discussion. \nParticipants: \nSarah Hutton (University of York\, UK) \nKaren Green (University of Melbourne\, Australia) \nRuth Hagengruber (Paderborn University\, Germany) \nRodney Parker (Paderborn University\, Germany)

SUMMARY:Locke and the Ladies. On Eighteenth-Century Female Republicans in England
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Karen Green (University of Melbourne)\nCourse Description\nThis course will focus on the reception of John Locke’s classical liberalism and republicanism among women in 18th-Century England\, particularly Catharine Trotter Cockburn and Catharine Macaulay. It will begin with a discussion of recent controversies over the role of Locke in the development of republicanism (Pocock\, Israel\, Pettit) in order to motivate reading Cockburn and Macaulay. After providing an overview of the lives and works of Cockburn and Macaulay\, students will sign-up for presentations on readings by these women for next two afternoons. Wednesday will concentrate on Cockburn\, her defence of Locke’s moral epistemology\, and her play on The Revolution of Sweden (1706). Thursday will focus on Macaulay\, specifically on sections from her Treatise on the Immutability of Moral Truth (1783) and the sections of her History of England (1763-83) defending the execution of Charles I. The aim will be to demonstrate the continuity between Cockburn and Macaulay\, and their importance for understanding eighteenth-century republicanism in England. On the final day of the course\, we will summarize and discuss the content of the course. \nCourse Schedule\nTuesday\, 23 October  —  14:00-17:00\nWednesday\, 24 October  —  10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00\nThursday\, 25 October  —  10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00\nFriday\, 26 October  — 10:00-13:00 \nLocation\nTechnologiepark 21 \nHow to Apply\nThose interested in attending should send (in a single file) a copy of their CV along with a short letter of introduction describing their area of research and why they are interested in this course to contact@historyofwomenphilosophers.org no later than 12 October\, 2018. \nAttendees will be responsible for organizing their own travel and accommodations.

SUMMARY:The History of Logic: Women’s Contributions
DESCRIPTION:The past twenty-five years have seen an explosion in historical research on women philosophers and scientists due to attempts to integrate more female voices into the philosophical canon. Across history\, women’s writing is now being recovered not as marginal but as theoretically important for contemporary debates and issues. By contrast\, historical research on female logicians is a true desideratum to this day. Scholars have long tended to exclude\, marginalize and trivialize women’s contributions to logical issues\, problems and developments. Correcting this omission is pressing since doing so promises to deepen our understanding of the history of logic and to enrich our picture of the aims and scope of logic. Moreover\, the socio-political relevance of integrating women logicians and their contributions into our teaching practices can hardly be overestimated. The aim of this workshop is to address one of the remaining gaps\, namely the role of female logicians in the development and philosophical interpretation of logic. \nLocation \nPaderborn University\, E 5.333 \nThursday\, October 18\, 2018 \n2.15 pm-3.00 pm: Frederique Janssen-Lauret (University of Manchester): Founding Mothers: The Neglected Contribution of Women to Early Analytic Logic \n3.00 pm-3.45 pm: Siobhan Chapman (University of Liverpool): Susan Stebbing and the Logic of Communication \n3.45 pm-4.15 pm Coffee Break \n4.15 pm-6.00 pm: Philosophical Colloquium: Karen Green (University of Melbourne): Indicating a Translation for “Bedeutung” \nFriday\, October 19\, 2018 \n10.00 am-10.45 am: Ursula Martin (University of Oxford): Ada Lovelace 1815-1852: Logic and Computing Before the Computer \n10.45 am-11.30 am: Matthias Wille (Paderborn University): Progress Through Recursion.

SUMMARY:Artists in Conversation with Maria Modlmayr and Ruth Hagengruber
DESCRIPTION:Am Dienstag\, den 16. Oktober um 19.00 Uhr laden wir herzlich ein zu einem Künstlerinnengespräch\, das Frau Prof. Dr. Ruth Hagengruber\, Professorin für Praktische Philosophie an der Universität Paderborn mit Maria-Margaretha Modlmayr führen wird. Frau Prof. Ruth Hagengruber gründete den Lehr- und Forschungsbereich History of Women Philosophers and Scientists\, der sich der Erforschung der Texte von Philosophinnen von der Antike bis heute widmet. \nOn Tuesday\, October 16 at 7:00 p.m.\, we warmly invite you to an artist talk that Prof. Dr. Ruth Hagengruber\, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paderborn\, will hold with Maria-Margaretha Modlmayr. Prof. Ruth Hagengruber founded the teaching and research area History of Women Philosophers and Scientists\, which is dedicated to the study of texts by women philosophers from antiquity to the present day. \nGalerie Märzhase\, Fürstenbergstraße 21 / first floor in Paderborn \nSpiegelungen – Maria Margaretha Modlmayr\n6. Oktober – 2. November 2018\nÖffnungszeiten: Mi. und Fr. 15.00 – 18.00 Uhr u.n.V.\nMaria Modlmayr beschäftigt sich in ihrer künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung zu einem ganz wesentlichen Teil mit Gesichtern. Das Gesicht des Menschen ist derjenige Part des menschlichen Körpers\, der in der Begegnung mit einer anderen Person\, in der Interaktion\, in der Wahrnehmung die größte Rolle spielt.

The human face is the part of the human body that plays the greatest role in the encounter with another person\, in interaction\, in perception. In the face\, as far as not hidden behind a veil or a mask\, a lot can be read\, it is not only about beauty and age\, but a face expresses aspects that go far beyond what is said.

SUMMARY:Karen Green - "On E. E. Constance Jones’s defense of Frege"
DESCRIPTION:Karen Green (University of Melbourne\, Australia) \nIn 1910 Emily Elizabeth Constance Jones (1848–1922)\, defended Frege against Russell’s critique of the distinction between sense and reference\, developed in ‘On Denoting’\, which had been published five years earlier. In this paper her defense of Frege is outlined\, and it is argued\, on the basis of the sketch offered\, that Jones was not a careful student of Frege\, but interpreted him in the light of her own earlier analysis of  the structure of categorical propositions. In the last section it is suggested that\, nevertheless\, Jones makes some relevant criticisms of Russell’s response to Frege\, but that neither Russell nor Jones really grasped the subtlety of Frege’s logical innovations.

SUMMARY:Reflections. Maria Margaretha Modlmayr
DESCRIPTION:Spiegelungen\nMaria Margaretha Modlmayr\n\n\n\nÖffnungszeiten: Mi. und Fr. 15.00 – 18.00 Uhr u.n.V.\n\n\nEnglish Version below!\n\n\nMaria Modlmayr beschäftigt sich in ihrer künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung zu einem ganz wesentlichen Teil mit Gesichtern. Das Gesicht des Menschen ist derjenige Part des menschlichen Körpers\, der in der Begegnung mit einer anderen Person\, in der Interaktion\, in der Wahrnehmung die größte Rolle spielt. Im Gesicht\, soweit nicht hinter Schleier oder Maske verborgen\, lässt sich vieles ablesen\, geht es dabei doch nicht nur um Schönheit und Alter\, sondern ein Gesicht bringt Aspekte zum Ausdruck\, die weit über das Gesagte hinausgehen. Feinste Reaktionen in der Mimik und Haltung spiegeln Eindrücke und Wirkungen von äußeren und inneren Prozessen wider. Genau diese Prozesse sind das\, was M.M. interessiert. Nicht die Wiedererkennung und die Definition der Linien eines Gesichts stehen bei ihren malerischen Prozessen im Zentrum\, sondern die Annäherung an das Bewegte\, das Fließende\, das Veränderliche eines Gesichts.\nEben das ist es\, was die Künstlerin mit bildnerischen Mitteln einfangen und zum Ausdruck bringen will. In der neuen Ausstellung in der Galerie Märzhase wird eine Werkreihe im Mittelpunkt stehen\, bei der es Maria Modlmayr nicht nur um das eine Gesicht des Portraitierten geht. Diese intime und intensive\, über viele Kanäle der Wahrnehmung über lange Zeiträume sich ausdehnende Beschäftigung mit dem Antlitz einer anderen Person wirkt auch auf die Künstlerin zurück\, erzeugt Resonanzen und Spiegelungen in ihr und lässt immaterielle Verbindungslinien entstehen. Diese Spiegelungen verfolgt M.M. in einer Reihe von 12 Doppelportraits: auf der einen Seite die verschiedenen Modelle und ihnen gegenüber steht das jeweilige Selbstportrait der Künstlerin in diesem Prozess. Sehr sensible Beobachtungen und deren malerische Umsetzung kennzeichnen diese wirklich besondere Werkreihe Maria Modlmayrs.\n\n\n__________\n\n\nReflections\nMaria Margaretha Modlmayr\n\n\nOctober 6 – November 2\, 2018\n\n\nOpen on Wednesday and Friday: 15:00 -18:00h and by arrangement.\n\n\nAn important part of Maria Modlmayr’s artistic work is the study of faces. The face is the one part of the human body that plays the biggest role in observing\, encountering and interacting with another person. If it is not hidden behind a veil or mask\, you can read many things in a face: it is not only about beauty or age\, no; a face expresses much more than the spoken word. Subtle reactions in facial expression and posture reflect impressions and effects of external and internal processes. These processes are what interest Maria Modlmayr. Not defining or recognising the lines of the faces is central to her work\, but approaching the moving\, flowing and changing features of a face.\nThis is what the artist wants to capture and express by creative means. The new exhibition at the gallery ‘Maerzhase’ will center on a series of works that are not only about the face in the portrait.\nAn intimate and intensive engagement with the face of another person\, through many channels of perceptions over a long time\, also leaves traces on the artist\, resonating and creating reflections and immaterial connections in her. Maria Modlmayr traces these reflections in a series of 12 double portraits: the various models on the one side are contrasted with the respective self-portrait of the artist in this process. This truly exceptional series by Maria Modlmayr is characterised by very sensitive observations and their artistic translation into painting.

SUMMARY:Philosophers\, Goddesses and Principles - Women and the Female in Neoplatonism
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for a broad discussion of women and the female in Neoplatonism in three main areas of interest: the historical status of Neoplatonic women in the real world\, the status of women in Neoplatonic ethical and political theory and the understanding of women and femaleness in metaphysics and natural science. \nThe first concerns the extent to which and the ways in which women were associated with Neoplatonic philosophy and its school in late antiquity. The main focus is to be celebrated female teachers\, such as the highly esteemed Hypatia of Alexandria who was active in mathematics and astronomy and who did exegetical work on Plato\, Aristotle and other philosophers. \nThe second issue regards the question of what (male) Neoplatonists say about the role\, status and abilities of women. Here\, it is especially interesting how Neoplatonists judged women’s ability to become virtuous and to live philosophical lives\, given the (apparent) tension between the Republic’s claim that talented women should become philosopher-queens since here women and men share the same natures and virtues\, and the Timaeus’ claim that women are in fact ‘bad men’ who were punished with a female body in reincarnation. \nFinally\, the Neoplatonists of late antiquity developed a gendered metaphysics that distinguishes between male and female principles in a variety of contexts\, including discussions of natural phenomena in the domains of astrology and biology. Thereby\, maleness and femaleness are introduced into Neoplatonic metaphysics mainly through the reconceptualization of traditional gods and goddesses as metaphysical principles\, which is in part due to the increased importance which the Chaldean Oracles and the Orphic tradition gained among later Neoplatonists. \nConfirmed speakers \nPeter Adamson (LMU Munich) \nCrystal Addey (University of St. Andrews) \nDirk Baltzly (University of Tasmania) \nLuc Brisson (CNRS Paris) \nChristoph Helmig (University of Cologne) \nDanielle A.

SUMMARY:24th World Congress of Philosophy\, Beijing
DESCRIPTION:CENTER FOR THE HISTORY OF WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS: \nInvited Session 17 / 18 \nThe World Congress of Philosophy is organized every five years by the International Federation of Philosophical Societies (FISP) in collaboration with one of its member societies\, this year in cooperation with the Chinese Organizing Committee. The 24th World Congress will be held in Beijing\, China\, from August 13 to August 20\, 2018\, and focus on the topic “Learning to be Human”. The congress addresses global issues across disciplines and cultures by taking past and present thinkers into consideration and reflecting critically on the role of philosophy in the contemporary world and how it can contribute to public discourses. \nThe Center for the History of Women Philosophers is featured in the Invited Sessions 17 and 18. Speakers are: \nMary Ellen Waithe (USA)\, Karen Green (AUS)\, Gianni Paganini (IT)\, Katarina Karpenko (UKR)\, Ruth Hagengruber (G) \nTalks will be held on: \n\nFriday\, August 17th\, 2018\, 04:10 pm – 06:00 pm and Sunday\, August 19th\, 02:00 pm – 06:00 pm \n\n\nABSTRACTS \nAugust 17\, Friday Room 407 CNCC \n4:10pm – 6:00pm I 080017\nHISTORY OF WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS AND SCIENTISTS (PART I) WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS IN EUROPEAN ENLIGHTENMENT \nSpeakers: Karen Green\, Gianenrico Paganini\, Ruth Hagengruber \nKaren Green\, Australia\, University of Melbourne \nOn some footnotes to Catharine Trotter Cockburn’s Vindication of an Essay Concerning Human Understanding \n \nTwo footnotes added to the version of Catharine Cockburn’s Vindication of an Essay Concerning Human Understanding(1702) reprinted in her Works (1751) have led to various accusations\, including that she was confused and an inadequate interpreter of Locke’s moral epistemology. In particular\, it is claimed that she did not recognize the gulf that separated her own intellectualist and internalist views from Locke’s more voluntarist and hedonistic position. This paper defends Cockburn’s interpretation of Locke\, arguing that the evidence for Locke being a voluntarist and hedonist is not compelling\, and that Cockburn’s interpretation of his moral epistemology is well grounded in the Essay Concerning Human Understanding. \nGianni Paganini\, Università del Piemonte (Vercelli\, Italy) \n“Hypotheses fingo”! Emilie Du Châtelet’s Revolution in the Enlightenment Epistemology \n The beliefs of philosophers of science about the nature of scientific inference underwent a profound shift between the time of Descartes and Newton. Probably most prominent here were the fortunes of the method of hypotheses. Frequently espoused in the middle of the 17th century by Descartes\, Boyle\, Hooke\, Huygens\, and the Port-Royal logicians\, the method of hypothesis fell into disfavor at Newton’s time. The most important factor that acted on this decline was Newton’s deep commitment to having the empirical world serve not only as the ultimate arbiter\, but also as the sole basis for adopting provisional theory. This is the meaning of his caveat: “hypotheses non fingo”. \nIn a famous work\, Science and Hypothesis\, Larry Laudan pinpointed an “about-turn\, which effectively constitutes the emergence of philosophy of science as we know it today” only in the Thirties and the Forties of the nineteenth century when Comte\, Herschel\, Whewell\, Dugald Stewart\, and partly Stuart Mill conceded that the method of hypothesis had a vital role to play in scientific inference. \nUnfortunately\, Laudan and many others until now did not realize that the real turning point in the history of epistemology happened much earlier\, as it was represented by the chapter on “Hypotheses” contained in the Institutions de physique of Emilie du Châtelet\, first published in 1740. This work and especially this chapter marked the very beginning of the readmission of hypotheses into the epistemology of the Enlightenment and the discovery that theories are not reducible to the experience; they rather are underdetermined by the experience\, against the pretension of a total empiricism. \nWe can pinpoint three basic assertions that characterize Emilie’s’ stand on this matter. First\, she thought that one should not “banish” hypotheses from science owing to the bad use made by the Cartesians. Second\, Du Châtelet emphasized the heuristic function of hypotheses. Third\, the Institutions de physique came back to astronomy as the best example of the good use of hypotheses in science. \n  \nRuth Hagengruber\, Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists\, Paderborn University\, Germany \n Emilie Du Châtelet (1706-1749). Philosopher of European Enlightenment. Transformer of Metaphysics.  \n Emilie Du Châtelet (1706-1749) was an outstanding member of the scientific community of her time. She rebutted main ideas of Voltaire\, Locke\, Newton and Leibniz\, and presented her own conclusions in a broad range of philosophical works. Her epistemic breakthrough is to be found in her examination of the extended world and in her reflection on the mental constitution of space. This presentation introduces her as a strong metaphysician and as an important predecessor of Kant’s transcendental philosophy. \n  \nAugust\, 19 Sunday Room 208 B CNCC \n2:00pm – 6:00pm I 080018\nHISTORY OF WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS(PART II) : EUROPE AND BEYOND \nSpeakers: Katarina Karpenko\, Mary Ellen Waithe\, Ruth Hagengruber \n Katarina Karpenko Director of the Center for Gender Studies\, Professor of the Philosophy Department\, Kharkiv National Medical University\, (Kharkiv\, Ukraine) \nWomen’s discourse in Ukrainian philosophy \nWithin the field of Ukrainian philosophy\, women’s discourse is dedicated to expand the very scope of intellectual inquiry\, especially in the realms of the philosophy of everyday life and political philosophy. This contributed to denaturalizing of such major categories as the nation\, and encouraged philosophers to consider asymmetry\, hierarchy and subordination in gender relations as a product of culture rather than natural quality given once and forever. These characteristics are the subjects of changes over time as the objects of intense social and political struggle. \nAn important legacy of Ukrainian culture is a set of unique philosophical ideas reflecting the specifics of national spirituality. The study of folk art\, the description of the most vivid historical epochs and of the analysis of the inputs of the most significant female representatives of the nation are the main approaches to identification of the content of women’s discourse in the history of Ukrainian philosophy. Women’s discourse cannot be focused exclusively on women’s issues of liberation from patriarchal guides and superstitious stereotypes. The visions of modern woman-philosophers are the active developmental forces with a clearly identified national character. \nMary Ellen Waithe\, Cleveland State University\, USA & Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists\, Paderborn University\, Germany \nWomen in the History of Non-Western Philosophy \nI will offer PowerPoint presentation introducing some women philosophers from non-western traditions who lived prior to the modern period. Women from Islamic\, Hindu\, Buddhist\, Daoist and Confucian traditions will be featured with portraiture\, information about their writings and teachings\, and the current state of feminist scholarship about their contributions to philosophy. \nRuth Hagengruber\, Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists\, Paderborn University\, Germany \n Retracing Antiquity. How Women Philosophers Re-constructed their History.  \nThis presentation offers an introduction into the thoughts of women philosophers\, starting with the Renaissance and quoting examples till present. Its methodical path is to provide answers to the question how women philosophers tackled history and antiquity. My thesis is that retracing ancient women philosophers had the necessary and functional role to legitimate their own intentions and to create a realm of independence that was denied in their actual lives. The aim of this talk is to inspire all interested women from various traditions to retrace their tradition and hereby manifest their own path of thoughts and ideas. \n

SUMMARY:Launch of the ECC
DESCRIPTION:THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CONCISE CONCEPTS BY WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS\nEDITORS’ INTRODUCTION\nThe world of philosophy is rapidly expanding. New technological advance gives us quicker\, broader\, more complete access to new knowledge. We read Hannah Arendt on our phones. We study Edith Stein on our tablets. Voice-activated technology takes notes and posts them to cloud storage while we drive. New historical information about women’s contributions is generating new knowledge\, warranting reconsideration of the standard histories of the discipline. \nBut one thing about human nature has not changed: our ability to comprehend succinct\, but concise philosophical concepts\, like “thinking”. And thus was born the idea for this encyclopedia: to create a living\, growing work filled with new information from an ancient discipline\, adapted to up to date technology. \nWe gave this challenge to eminent scholars around the globe: in 100-300 words explain a concept as it was developed by a woman philosopher. Append to each essay a short bibliography of the most relevant articles and books in which that philosopher’s concept is developed or discussed. \nMost encyclopedias are arranged according to philosopher such as Aquinas\, Kant\, Marx\, or by division of philosophy such as aesthetics\, or logic. Others are arranged by school of philosophy such as Epicureanism\, or Zen. Some are arranged by concepts\, ideas and theories such as justice\, number or rationalism. But NONE offer a comprehensive list of entries about the ideas women philosophers have developed. The Encyclopedia of Concise Concepts by Women Philosophers  is unique. \nWe begin with more than a hundred philosophic concepts as they were developed by women from antiquity through the turn of the 21st century. As we regularly update and expand its contents we will begin to provide links to sources where available. This encyclopedia will be accessible for free online\, through university libraries world-wide\, through national libraries\, and in the online collection of the Paderborn University Library Digital Collection through which it is curated. \nThe Encyclopedia of Concise Concepts by Women Philosophers launches its first body of articles in 2018. Our authors are the world’s acknowledged experts in their subject. Every few months we will be adding new articles about concepts developed by women philosophers. \nRuth Hagengruber\, Ph.D.\nMary Ellen Waithe\, Ph.D.\,\nEditors in Chief
