SUMMARY:Émilie Du Châtelet’s Foundations of Physics
DESCRIPTION:In 2009\, Isabelle Bour and Judith P. Zinsser published a partial translation of Émilie Du Châtelet’s Foundations of Physics. Since 2014\, faculty and students at the University of Notre Dame have worked to complete the translation (see www.kbrading.org/du-chatelet). This conference celebrates the completion of the project. \nThe conference will feature talks\, presentations\, and discussions of the text\, its philosophical and historical context and significance\, and ways of incorporating Du Châtelet’s philosophy into undergraduate teaching. \nParticipants include: Katherine Brading\, Karen Detlefsen\, Lisa Downing\, Jamee Elder\, Ashton Green\, Ruth Hagengruber\, John Hanson\, Sarah Hutton\, Andrew Janiak\, Marcy Lascano\, Christia Mercer\, Lauren Montes\, Andrea Reichenberger\, Annelise Rey\, Anne Seul\, Phil Sloan\, George Smith\, Monica Solomon\, Marius Stan\, Aaron Wells and Judith P. Zinsser. \nSponsors: \nHistory and Philosophy of Science Graduate Program\nInstitute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts\, Henkels Lecture Series\nNanovic Institute for European Studies\nNotre Dame Research \nWebpage

SUMMARY:Women in Philosophy: Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:True it is\, Spinning with the Fingers is more proper to our Sexe\, then studying or writing Poetry\, which is the Spinning with the braine: but I having no skill in the Art of the first (and if I had\, I had no hopes of gaining so much as to make me a Garment to keep me from the cold) made me delight in the latter – Margaret Cavendish \nThough academic philosophy is still a male-dominated discipline\, and the canon of philosophy is largely male\, the future of philosophy promises to be less so. After years of scholarly neglect\, the contribution of a large number of women philosophers across the ages is now being recognised – from medieval mystics to Enlightenment philosophers of science to founding mothers of analytic philosophy and phenomenology. At the same time\, broad consensus is afoot that certain disciplinary norms\, once-entrenched\, no longer serve our discipline and have contributed to the attrition of female talent from philosophy. \nThis SWIP-Ireland conference\, in collaboration with In Parenthesis\, invites papers on the broad topic of Women in Philosophy: Past\, Present and Future. The occasion of the workshop is the centenary of a paper published in Mind by the Irish philosopher and prominent librarian\, Agnes Cuming. The conference welcomes contributions relevant to the general theme of the role of women in philosophy. Papers from all approaches and traditions in philosophy including submissions on neglected historical figures\, reports of archival visits\, as well as reflection on methodological practice and on visions for philosophy in the future are encouraged. Papers from graduate students and philosophers working outside academia are also welcome. Presentations and panels related to any aspect of the ​work of the keynote speakers are also welcome. \n  \nKeynote speakers:             \nEileen Brennan (Dublin City University) \nNancy Cartwright (Durham University) \nSiobhan Chapman (University of Liverpool) \nKristin Gjesdal (Temple University) \nSally Haslanger (MIT) \nSigridur Thorgeirsdottir (University of Iceland) \n  \nCall for Abstracts (Deadline: March 1\, 2018) \nRegistration (Deadline: May 14\, 2018\, 9:00am IST)

SUMMARY:Horizons of Sexual Difference
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Philosophy\, with the support of the Faculty of Humanities at Brock University\, will host the 9th meeting of The Luce Irigaray Circle in a three-day interdisciplinary conference devoted to scholarship and creative work on\, or inspired by\, the thought of Luce Irigaray at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts at the Brock downtown campus. \nLuce Irigaray’s thinking has far-reaching influence across a number of disciplines and practices including Philosophy\, the Natural Sciences\, Women’s Health\, Literature and Literary Criticism\, Women’s and Gender Studies\, Religious Studies\, Indigenous Studies\, Political Theory\, Classics\, Linguistics\, Architecture\, Performance Studies\, Music\, Sound Studies\, Feminist Legal theory\, Art and Aesthetic practices\, etc. The Circle seeks to generate new possibilities for thinking sexual difference by honouring and supporting interdisciplinarity and the multiple research trajectories\, methods and projects inspired by Irigaray’s thought. \nThis year’s conference draws its theme from the figure of the horizon mobilized in Irigaray’s work that encompasses social\, political\, ethical\, and cultural processes in relation to sexual difference; a figure that indicates new possibilities for meaning – meanings that are located\, historical and specific to the horizon of their appearance. In particular\, we seek to reconsider Irigaray’s call to bring into view the appearance of sexual difference as a question for our time\, as well as problematize the centrality of this claim. Does sexual difference open up other horizons of difference or occlude them? How can we conceive horizons of sexual difference? \nThe 9th meeting of the Luce Irigaray Circle will initiate conversations between this broader context of the figure of the horizon and sexual difference\, and invites papers\, panels\, presentations\, and performances that contribute to our understanding of the contemporary world by critically re-assessing and furthering the figure of the horizon and the concept of sexual difference. Please note all creative work and scholarship on or inspired by Irigaray’s thought will be considered. However\, the circle especially welcomes submissions that address the following topics for inclusion in a number of thematically organized panels: \n·       Decolonizing Sexual Difference \n·       Performativity and Sexual Difference \n·       Trans and Sexual Difference \n·       the Global South and Sexual Difference \n·       Sexual Difference across borders\, including Sexual Difference and War\, \nSexual Difference and  Migration \n·       Deploying the horizon against itself \nCall for Papers (deadline: March 1\, 2018) \n

SUMMARY:Intensive Seminar on Teaching New Narratives in Early Modern Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:In this intensive weeklong seminar\, we will work through a range of primary source materials by non-canonical authors\, both women and men\, to be included in a new teaching anthology (edited by Shapiro and Lascano) with an eye to interpreting texts\, identifying philosophical themes within those texts\, and devising creative ways to incorporate those texts into courses that can serve a range of purposes within the philosophical curriculum. \nA familiarity with the standard early modern canon will be presupposed. \nThe intensive seminar responds to at least two issues facing the teaching of early modern philosophy. First\, the familiar canon of seven philosophers (Descartes\, Leibniz\, Spinoza\, Locke\, Berkeley\, Hume\, Kant) has become a bit ossified. While the integration of the history of science has helped to revitalize and introduce some new figures into early modern philosophy\, it has not helped us address a second issue: the need to do a better job of incorporating women philosophers into the history of philosophy\, and in particular into the history of early modern philosophy. To address these issues\, and especially the second one\, it helps to attend to an array of lesser known\, yet still quite influential\, philosophers of the period\, both men and women. \nOver the past several years\, interest in European women philosophers of the early modern period has intensified rapidly. Yet while there is a lot of interest\, there are also many challenges.  For one\, it is often challenging to delve into texts with which one is unfamiliar without a body of philosophical secondary literature to serve as a guide. Equally\, women of the period often write in an array of genres\, further complicating the interpretive work. Furthermore\, even if one has found one’s way with these texts\, women philosophers often take familiar themes in unfamiliar directions\, and it can be a challenge to rethink the standard early modern philosophy course so as to include women thinkers as philosophers in their own right.  Looking in detail not only at women thinkers but also at a range of non-canonical men is helpful because the themes that often engaged women thinkers were of interest not only to other (male) non-canonical philosophers as well\, but also to the more familiar canonical figures. In addition\, it is worth noting that most of the philosophers of the period wrote in a variety of genres\, not just the women. \nDirectors: Lisa Shapiro\, Professor of Philosophy\, Simon Fraser University and Marcy Lascano\, Professor of Philosophy\, California State University at Long Beach. Marguerite Deslauriers\, Professor of Philosophy\, McGill University\, will provide additional instructional support. \nTheme: Early Modern European Philosophy: Addressing the Challenges of Revitalizing the Early Modern Canon and Incorporating Women Thinkers into the Narrative \n  \nApplication Deadline:  February 1\, 2018 \nApplications should include the following and be sent to new_narratives@sfu.ca \n\nCurrent CV\nContact information for two references\nLetter of application (preferably 2-3 pages\, and no longer than 4 pages) explaining your own background and research interests\, your interest in the seminar\, and your prior teaching experience and approaches to teaching early modern philosophy\n\nNotification Date:  March 1\, 2018.  We expect to be able to accept up to 16 applicants for this intensive seminar. \nAccept or Decline Offer by: March 8\, 2018 \nEligibility Criteria:  We invite applications from philosophers at various stages of their career from advanced ABD PhD candidates to mid-career faculty. We expect that the majority of selected participants will have prior experience teaching a course in early modern philosophy. Thus\, while not required\, such experience is desirable. \nStipend: Individuals selected to participate in this intensive seminar will receive shared housing (a private room in a townhouse\, with linens provided and a shared modestly equipped kitchen) at Simon Fraser University from 24-30 June\, as well as reimbursement for other expenses up to approximately CAD 1700\, consistent with SFU policy (to include economy class airfare\, transportation to/from airports and a per diem at the official rate). \nSupport for this intensive seminar is provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada through a Partnership Development Grant\, as well as the Simon Fraser University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences\, and the SFU Philosophy Department. \nContact Haley Brennan at new_narratives@sfu.ca with any questions.

SUMMARY:Women in the History of Science\, Philosophy and Literature
DESCRIPTION:The International Commission on Science and Literature DHST/IUHPST\, the Commission on Women and Gender Studies DHST/IUHPST\, the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists\, Paderborn University\, the School of Humanities of the Hellenic Open University\, the Institute of Historical Research/National Hellenic Research Foundation\, and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science\, University of Athens organize a two-days’ workshop to study Women in the History of Science\, Philosophy and Literature. The CoSciLit workshop is already an established part of the very prestigious “Hermoupolis Seminars” which have been organized for more than 30 years every July on Syros Island. \nThis workshop aims to rediscover and to re-evaluate the impact and role of women in the history of science\, philosophy\, and literature. In recent years there has been growing interest in the history of women’s contributions to science\, philosophy\, and literature which dates back to the very beginnings of these disciplines. Theano\, Hypatia\, Du Châtelet\, Lovelace are only a small selection of prominent women philosophers and scientists throughout history. The conference offers an open forum for all scholars interested in this growing research field\, thus bringing into the dialogue multiple perspectives and different disciplines in order to build communication and cooperation bridges between science\, philosophy\, and literature.

SUMMARY:Master Class: Hannah Arendt Today. The Evil of Banality
DESCRIPTION:In this 2 day Master Class\, Prof. Elizabeth Minnich will discuss the philosophy of Hannah Arendt\, with special emphasis on Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on The Banality of Evil. This serves as the background for Minnich’s latest book\, The Evil of Banality: On The Life and Death Importance of Thinking (2017). This work presents elaborates the concept of “extensive evils” through the examples of as slavery\, human trafficking\, economic exploitation\, for-profit penitentiaries\, etc. Minnich considers explanations of the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of extensive evils by social psychologists and historians such as Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo\, whose work on obedience to authority and peer pressure she challenges. \nDates and times: \nJuly 27\, 2018 – 10:00-13:00 and 14:00-17:00 \nJuly 28\, 2018 – 10:00-13:00 \nLocation: \nTechnologiepark 21 \n  \nElizabeth Minnich is Professor of Philosophy at Queens University of Charlotte (Charlotte\, North Carolina) and Distinguished Fellow at the Association of American Colleges & Universities. She received her PhD from the New School for Social Research in 1977. Her dissertation\, “Philosophy\, Democracy and Communication: A Study of John Dewey As Political Philosopher\,” was supervised by Hannah Arendt and Richard Bernstein. She was Hannah Arendt’s teaching assistant in 1969-70\, at the time when Arendt was defending her report on the trial of Adolf Eichmann (“The Engineer of the Nazi Final Solution”). This is where Arendt announced her controversial observation concerning the “the banality of evil.” In the years since then\, Minnich has continued reflecting on\, researching\, and writing about evil\, which culminates in her reversal of Arendt’s concept: the evil of banality. \nParticipants are encouraged to send questions to Prof. Minnich via email. \n  \nRelated Events: Libori Summer School 2018

SUMMARY:Du Châtelet between Leibniz and Kant: The Eberhard-Kant Controversy
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: Hartmut Hecht\, Ruth Hagengruber\, Andrea Reichenberger and Dieter Suisky \nLocation: L1.202 \, Paderborn University \nAfter the study of space and time in “Du Châtelet Between Leibniz and Newton” we are now moving on to explore “Du Châtelet Between Leibniz and Kant.” \nThis course will focus on Du Châtelet and the Eberhard-Kant Controversy\, including the problems of space and time in Leibniz\, Kant and Du Châtelet. In the famous Kant-Eberhard controversy\, we learn that Eberhard traces Kant’s roots back to Leibnizian philosophy and its commentators\, including Du Châtelet\, who he identifies as a key interpreter of Leibniz. This judgement has many interesting implications. \nEberhard tries to prove that Kant’s ideas were not as “original” as he had claimed. If Kant’s ideas can be tied back to Leibniz-Wolffian philosophy\, is this also true for Du Châtelet? If this is an invalid claim for an adequate understanding of Kant\, is it consequently also inadequate for Du Châtelet? In what sense is Du Châtelet an intermediary between Leibniz and Kant? Can Kant’s claim that his philosophy differs from Leibniz concerning his interpretation of phenomena\, the knowledge of their origin and essence\, be detected in Du Châtelet’s philosophy as well? How close is Du Châtelet to the philosophy of Leibniz or the ideas of Wolff\, and how near is Kant to the ideas of Du Châtelet? \nTo approach this large field of investigation\, we will focus on the following topics: \n\nThe concept of space and time in Leibniz (which was held to be an “idealized” and “logical” concept by Kant).\nThe concept of space and time in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason (A edition\, 1781)\nThe chapter on Space and Time in Du Châtelet’s Foundations of Physics.\nSelected passages from Eberhard on Du Châtelet\, Wolff and others.\n\nStudent Presentation Schedule \n\n\n\nMonday \n(Full)\nLaura Herrera Castillo – Leibniz’s “A New System of the Nature and the Communication of Substances” and “The Monadology” \nAreins Pelayo – Leibniz\, “Tentamen Anagogicum” \nKristyna Sara Zittova – “The Controversy between Leibniz and Clarke”\n\n\nTuesday\nElizabeth Goodnick – Ruth Hagengruber\, “Emilie du Châtelet Between Leibniz and Newton: The Transformation of Metaphysics” \nBabette Chabout-Combaz – Andrea Reichenberger\, “Die Rolle der Familie Keyserlingk und des Gottsched-Kreises für Kants Du Châtelet-Rezeption”\n\n\nWednesday\nTatiana Levina – Space and Time in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason \nLisa Benossi – The Lambert-Kant Correspondence\n\n\nThursday\nWiebke Deimling – Henry Allison\, “The Kant-Eberhard Controversy” \nSuellen Dutra Pereira – Ursula Winter\, “Metaphysik der Natur und würkende Kräfte”\n\n\n\n  \nAll interested parties are welcome to apply!

SUMMARY:Self and Subjectivity in Edith Stein and Hedwig Conrad-Martius
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: Ronny Miron\, Antonio Calcagno\, Rodney Parker \nLocation: L2.202\, Paderborn University \nDiscussions of the self and subjectivity are a commonplace in phenomenological writings. The elaboration of the I as the focal point of experience is central to phenomenological research. \nIn the Fourth Cartesian Meditation\, Husserl argues that the phenomenology of “self-constitution coincides with phenomenology as whole.” In this course\, we will reflect on the self and subjectivity through the writings of Edith Stein and Hedwig Conrad-Martius\, and critically assess their views on these themes. We will begin by discussing Husserl’s arguments for the unity of consciousness\, his distinction between the empirical and transcendental I\, and his threefold description of the ego as: (1) the identical pole of subjective processes\, (2) the substrate of habitualities\, and (3) monad. We will also consider the self as a bodily and spiritual being capable of constituting spiritual (social\, cultural\, historical) objects. \nIn the writings of Edith Stein\, the notion of the self emerges through the working together of the lived body\, psyche\, and spirit. However\, the self becomes more acutely aware of itself as a self in the experiences of emotion and value. In such experiences\, the depth of the I\, its motivations\, desires\, personality\, and the will come to the forefront of consciousness\, revealing the notion of the spiritual person. The manifestation of the spiritual aspect of human beings evinces the value of the self. Indeed\, the person\, understood as the highest form of subjectivity\, emerges most fully when the bodily\, psychic\, and spiritual dimensions of the human being work together. Furthermore\, the self and subjectivity\, understood as an objectivity\, show themselves in and through empathy\, the lived experience of community\, and gender. \nHedwig Conrad-Martius was critical of Husserl’s privileging of the self\, which she believed came at the expense of his philosophy’s ability to properly deal with the more fundament philosophical question: What is Being? In this course\, we will discuss Conrad-Martius’ response to Husserl’s turn toward the subject and the transcendental idealism that follows. In her work\, she stresses that a phenomenology of real Being and the phenomenology of the I are not mutually exclusive. We will therefore explore the essential role of the being of the I in her philosophy of Being\, but from a realist rather than an idealist perspective. For Conrad-Martius\, the philosophical understanding of the I is conditioned by having a philosophical view of Being. However\, the I also bears an ontological exclusivity that distinguishes it from the rest of the beings in the world. We will also consider the tension of subjectivity; of being a creature that is both equal to other beings in the world and at the same time ontologically distinct from them. \n  \nAll interested parties are welcome to apply!

SUMMARY:American Women Philosophers
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: Mary Ellen Waithe and Dorothy Rogers \nLocation: L2.201\, Paderborn University \nThis course explores the ideas of two women in the early idealist philosophical movement in the United States: Marietta Kies (1853-1899) and Lucia Ames Mead (1856-1936). Kies developed a theory of altruism in public/political life and was a member of the Christian Socialist movement. Ames Mead developed a theory of pacifism and was a member of the peace movement. Kies remained in the academic world throughout her career. Ames Mead chose to become an activist\, working for the formation of the League of nations in the early twentieth century. Both women anticipated later feminist theories of care\, peace\, and action\, which will be discussed in this course. \n  \nAll interested parties are welcome to apply!

SUMMARY:Women in Communism
DESCRIPTION:Lecturers: Luka Borsic\, Ivana Skuhala Karasman \nLocation: L3.204\, Paderborn University \nSocialist Feminism professes that a complete emancipation of women is achieved through the abolition of economic and cultural sources of women’s oppression. This\, according to some\, represents the synthesis of the arguments of Marxist feminism about capitalism as a source of oppression of women and the arguments of radical feminism on the role of gender and patriarchy. Marxist Feminism starts from the assumption that the abolition of capitalism as a socio-economic system is the only way women can relieve oppression. According to Marxist feminism\, gender inequality is the product of the capitalist mode of production. \nThe result of such theoretical considerations for women was that the levels of employment and education increased in most communist states. In the 1950s\, ‘60s\, and ‘70s it was generally believed that communism was fairer and more advanced for women’s equality than capitalism. However\, in the 1980s\, alongside the political and economic collapse of communist states\, a question mark was put over alleged success of addressing the “woman question” in communism. \nWas the collapse of communism also a sign of the victory of the “second wave” feminism against socialist feminism? Or\, was socialist feminism a collateral victim of historically politico-economic change of paradigm? \nIn this course we are going to explore position of women in communism. We will consider this topic from three different perspectives: \n\nthe position of women in communism as a socio-philosophical theory;\nthe position of women in concrete communist states;\nthe position of women in post-communist milieu.\n\nAll interested parties are welcome to apply!

SUMMARY:Women’s World Today: War\, Violence\, and Escape
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Maria von Welser \nLocation: L1.201\, Paderborn University \nGuest Speakers: Nahid Shahalimi\, Lea Ackermann\, Berta Travieso\, Godula Kosack \nResearch was carried out in Afghanistan\, India\, Eastern Congo\, and in international refugee camps in Turkey\, Lebanon\, Jordan\, and on the Greek island of Lesbos. The result was a UN list titled: Countries in which it is the greatest danger to be born as a girl. A nightmarish reality. In these countries\, girls and women are worth nothing\, and condemned to an early death. In this course\, Maria von Welser\, an internationally renowned journalist\, will discuss the deplorable lifesituation of women and children in the countries on the UN list. She has experienced first-hand the devastating state of affairs faced by refugees from these countries\, caught between the homelands they have fled and the borders of Europe. \nParticipants will be presented with a detailed description of the political background in these countries\, as well as reports from women\, children\, and their families on the horrible situations in which many women and children are still forced to live today. \nAn fünf Tagen ab dem 30. Juli 2018 beleuchtet die Lehrbeauftragte und TV-Journalistin Maria von Welser im Rahmen der Libori Summer School in englischen Referaten vor internationalen Studenten die Situation der Frauen heute in Ländern\, in denen sie nichts wert sind: Afghanistan\, das Land mit der höchsten Mütter- und Kindersterblichkeit weltweit. Dazu referiert die Afghanin Nahid Shahalimi. In einer keynote-Präsentation werden die StudentInnen erfahren\, warum gerade Indien das Land mit den meisten Vergewaltigungen ist\, obwohl im Land kein Krieg herrscht.\nDer dritte Tag führt dann nach Afrika. Dr. Lea Ackermann von Solwodi wird von ihrer Frauenarbeit in Kenia und Ruanda berichten\, die Referentin selbst von ihren Recherchen über den Krieg „auf den Körpern der Frauen“ im Kongo. Um die Situation der Frauen und Kinder in den Flüchtlingslagern geht es dann am vierten Tag. Berta Travieso von UNICEF Libanon ist Gast und die Referentin wird die bittere Zukunft der rund 3\,6 Millionen syrischen Flüchtlinge in den Lagern im Libanon und Jordanien beleuchten. Auch der letzte Tag beschäftigt sich weiter mit der Flüchtlingssituation\, diesmal in der Türkei. Dazu berichtet die Referentin vom bitteren Leid der jesidischen Frauen und Mädchen. Von Terre des Femmes kommt dann noch Prof. Godula Kosack um über das für Millionen Frauen schwerst traumatisierende Thema der Genitalverstümmelung zu sprechen. Die StudentInnen sind an allen Tagen gefordert\, selbst Talkrunden zu gestalten und wichtige Fragen herauszuarbeiten. Dazu haben sie im Vorfeld von der Referentin schon rund 100 Seiten Materialien zu den einzelnen Themenbereichen zugesandt bekommen. \n  \nAll interested parties are welcome to apply!

SUMMARY:The XVIIth Symposium of the International Association of Women Philosophers
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1976\, the International Association of Women Philosophers (IAPh) is an organization committed to promoting discussion\, interaction\, and cooperation among women in philosophy worldwide. The IAPh’s XVIIth symposium will be held immediately preceding the World Congress of Philosophy taking place in Beijing\, and proposes to celebrate women’s diverse historical and contemporary contributions to philosophy\, and to highlight the work of female philosophers in all branches of philosophical and feminist inquiry. We particularly invite papers that reflect on globalization and the history of women’s engagement with philosophy and feminism in Asia\, Europe\, the Americas\, Australasia\, Africa\, and elsewhere\, during the past forty-two years\, and back to the earliest periods. The conference theme\, ‘Women and Philosophy in the Era of Globalization’ is intended to capture the broad scope of contemporary research on historical women philosophers\, on feminist ethics\, aesthetics\, and politics\, and on questions of feminist epistemology in multiple cultures. Submissions in other areas of philosophy and feminist theory are also welcome. \nCall for Papers

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

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
