SUMMARY:Crises of Democracy: Thinking in Dark Times
DESCRIPTION:We are witness here and around the world to a worldwide rebellion against liberal and representative democracy. In Hungary\, Russia\, Turkey\, France\, Austria\, and across Europe\, right and left wing parties flirt with authoritarian rule. In the United States\, President Donald Trump explicitly channels the demagogic voice of the self-described disenfranchised. Democratic governments everywhere are revealed—as never before—as corrupt\, inefficient\, and undemocratic. The great political achievement of the modern era—stable representative and liberal democracies—is everywhere under attack. \nSurvey data confirms that citizens in democracies\, especially younger citizens\, increasingly oppose freedom of speech\, question the legitimacy of democratic institutions\, and agree with the claim that democracy is a “bad” way to run their countries. While Bernie Sanders and Trump mobilized millions\, they did so in part by attacking democracy. And philosophers David Estlund and Jason Brennan go so far as to call to weigh votes in favor of the better educated. Missing on all sides is a respect for pluralist democracy. \nAlexis de Tocqueville saw the spirit of the United States in townships governed by farmers\, teachers\, and shop owners. The township includes “coarser elements” who resist the educated opinion of the experts and politicians. Which is why township freedom is usually sacrificed to enlightened government. Indeed\, “A very civilized society tolerates only with difficulty the trials of freedom in a township.” A government by elites and experts risks actively disempowering the people. \nHannah Arendt\, whose thinking is at the heart of the center\, knew that democracy is tenuous. She famously wrote\, in 1970\, “Representative government is in crisis today\, partly because it has lost\, in the course of time\, all institutions that permitted the citizens’ actual participation\, and partly because it is now gravely affected by the disease from which the party system suffers: bureaucratization and the two parties’ tendency to represent nobody except the party machines.” Arendt saw the weakness of democracy in encouraging citizens to turn over the time-consuming work of self-government to professional politicians. \nArendt rooted the crisis in democracy in the dissipation of public power. Most liberal-minded people today are fearful of public power. We say power corrupts\, and absolute power corrupts absolutely\, but the insufficiency of this formula is lately all too apparent. We are scared of the power that emerges when people act together against the experts. And we prefer a government of experts\, not least because it frees us to spend our time on private pursuits like consumption and family. The disempowerment of the people in representative democracy embraces our bourgeois preference to be freed to pursue our individual interests\, to be relieved of the duty of politics and public virtue. Much easier to leave governing to the experts. \nThe power and authority of experts is waning. The rise of networks with access to infinite information means that the authority of any one source is diminished. The expertise of the press is challenged by blogs and social media. The authority of government is undermined by accusations of corruption and bias. And the hypothetical claim of science to truth is diminished by the infinite multiplication of information. In all realms\, power has shifted from the shepherds to the sheep. And the sheep organize themselves in energetic and coherent communities based on eccentric beliefs impervious to wider standards of communal truth. What is potentially lost is a common liberal pluralist community\, a meaningfulness unity amongst are real differences. \nThe dangers of democracy are well known. Plato understood that democracies were driven to excessive equality\, the loss of standards\, and corruption\, all of which made democracies susceptible to demagogues and tyrants. Tocqueville warned that democracy without limits threatened a tyranny of the majority. In the face of these dangers\, there are those who argue it is time to shed or radically limit democracy. \nThe two-day conference will seek to answer the following questions: \n•Is there presently a crisis of democracy?\n•Are we witnessing the rise of authoritarian or fascist governments?\n•Does the rule by experts and bureaucrats threaten democracy?\n•How does the centralization of power contribute to the crisis of democracy?\n•Does identity politics threaten or enable pluralist democracy?\n•Should we require tests or education levels for voting?\n•Does the information explosion render obsolete the authority of democratic institutions?\nAbove all\, we ask\, how can we restore vigor and meaning to democracy?

SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt - Herausforderungen der Pluralität
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Arendt – Challenges of Plurality is the first workshop of the Research Colloquium: History of Women Philosophers at the Center in the winter term 2017/18. \nThe human condition of plurality cuts through all layers of Hannah Arendt’s political theory. On the existential level\, it radically differentiates every human being from everyone who lives\, ever lived or will ever live on Earth. Political implications of such – seemingly banal – assumption are vital. Used to operating with clichés\, simplifications and impressed by neuroscientific models\, we often forget that human action is ultimately unpredictable. \nWhat role do group identities play in political action? What is the importance of the interplay of equality and difference in the context of political plurality? What measures can be taken to deal with challenges of plurality in our political communities? \nWe will address these questions throughout the workshop. \n  \nSpeakers: \nProf. Dr. Tobias Matzner – “Hannah Arendt über Identitätspolitik (Reflecting identity politics with Hannah Arendt)” \nDr. Maria Robaszkiewicz – “Hannah Arendts Konzept des politischen Denkens angesichts aktueller Migrations-Diskurse (Hannah Arendt’s Concept of Political Thinking in the Light of Current Migration Debates)” \n

SUMMARY:Women Intellectuals in 18th Century Germany
DESCRIPTION:Women Intellectuals in 18th Century Germany will bring together an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars with the principal aim of detailing the rich philosophical contributions by German women intellectuals in this period. The conference will feature presentations by a variety of experts in the history of 18th century German philosophy\, language\, and culture\, drawn from institutions in Canada\, the US\, Germany\, Austria\, Italy\, and France. At a time when contributions by women in the history of philosophy (such as Émilie du Châtelet\, Margaret Cavendish\, and Anne Conway) are generating unprecedented scholarly interest\, this conference will shed light on the distinctive and important contributions of women to the philosophical scene in Germany and thereby bring more general scholarly attention to the philosophical works and legacy of women in this period. \nFurther Information

SUMMARY:Robert DiSalle - "Émilie Du Châtelet and the Birth of the Philosophy of Physics"
DESCRIPTION:Newton’s Principia inspired countless philosophical commentators\, but few with the insight and the qualifications— both scientific and philosophical— of Émilie du Châtelet (1706-1751). Her commentaries on Newton’s principles provide one of the first and best examples of the philosophical investigation of scientific ideas. \nSpeaker: Robert DiSalle (University of Western Ontario) \n http://catalogue.londonpubliclibrary.ca/search~20/P?SEARCH=Neglected+Voices&submit=Search&searchscope=20

SUMMARY:Towards a Phenomenology of Social Change
DESCRIPTION:The phenomenology of sociality that currently attracts growing attention focuses on a systematic evaluation of the phenomenological approach to the area of social relations and interactions. Thanks to this initiative\, we get the chance to rethink the significance and reach of phenomenological explorations of topics such as intersubjectivity\, empathy\, shared emotions\, group intentions\, collective agency\, and social coherence. It is beyond doubt that the works of Husserl\, Heidegger\, Merleau-Ponty\, Sartre\, Levinas\, Patočka\, Arendt\, Schütz\, Scheler\, Stein\, Henry and many others give enough material for a systematic exploration of social ontology. It seems\, though\, that the phenomenology of sociality leaves aside the important aspect of the way we share our world with others. What is implicitly presupposed in a collective sharing of our world\, without being explicitly examined\, is the phenomenon of social change. \nAny interaction with others is somehow related to social change\, for it either provokes it\, or avoids it. Social interaction that takes place in the semantic context of a social world oscillates between stability and instability. While the state of stability is maintained by social rituals\, habits\, and other everyday practices\, instability generates a change that more or less alters the semantic structure of the social world. In more radical forms\, social change then disrupts established collective identities and makes way for new collective agents. However\, social change doesn’t always yield positive effects; it can also cause individual or collective traumas if it is too sudden or drastic. \nWhether it concerns tiny shifts of social relations\, or spectacular social transformations\, it is necessary to reflect on the nature of social changes\, to demonstrate what they have in common and what differentiates them. The decisive factor for us is less the extent to which social changes alter history than their ontological character. The way we understand it\, the ontology of social change examines the overall semantic alteration of the social world and the precarious integrity of social agents that are involved in social change. In social change we can also observe shifts from social invisibility to social visibility that take place when new collective agents appear or step out of the shadows of social reality. With respect to all these phenomena\, it is possible to map various possibilities of understanding social change\, its conditions and effects. \nFor a critical evaluation of the phenomenological approach to social change it is vital to confront the phenomenology of sociality with analytic philosophy\, critical theory\, postmarxism or poststructuralism. We certainly cannot ignore the whole field of sociology\, where the concept of social change plays a fundamental role. In addition\, we intend to bring phenomenology into dialogue with disciplines such as gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, minority studies\, migration studies\, or the ethics of care. We believe a dialogue between phenomenology and other approaches to sociality could create a platform where the phenomena of social change\, social visibility and invisibility\, as well as the formation of collective subjects will be understood in a complex way. Case studies and the results of field work can be also taken into consideration for the conference\, but we generally tend to a more synthetic approach that has the potential to grasp the basic ontological features of social change. \nSince our conference is meant to lay new ground for further research\, we intend to follow the principles of liberté\, egalité\, fraternité. Hence\, there will be no keynote speakers\, and all active participants will be treated with the same respect. \n  \nWe encourage contributors to consider the following topics\, but we are open to any other suggestions: \n• human interaction and social change \n• temporality and historicity of social change \n• ontology of social change – between project and event \n• traumatic effects of social changes \n• conditions that enable formation or dissipation of a collective agency \n• macroscopic and microscopic social changes \n• social visibility and social invisibility \n• new media\, new forms of sociality and social change \n• social change between phenomenology and analytic philosophy \n• interaction between phenomenology and critical theory \n• social change between phenomenology and poststructuralism \n• a phenomenology of social change from the feminist point of view \n• contribution of minority studies and postcolonialism to a phenomenology of social change \n• from phenomenology to sociology of social change \nSubmissions: We invite all scholars interested in social change to submit abstracts on any topic relevant to the theme of conference. Abstract should not exceed 500 words and must be received via email by July 31\, 2017. Authors will be notified on the status of their submission by August 15\, 2017. Finished papers should not exceed 30 minutes reading time. Thanks to the support of the Czech Grant Agency the conference offers no fee participation to all paper presenters. \nAbstracts and inquiries should be sent to: kouba@flu.cas.cz

SUMMARY:Marieke Borren - "Public Space\, Performative Freedom\, and Embodiment"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Marieke Borren (Utrecht) gives a talk on “Public Space\, Performative Freedom and Embodiment” at the colloquium Paderborner Kolloquium zur Philosophie at Paderborn University.\n \n“Butler (2015) suggests that the freedom of assembly is prior to the freedom of expression. She demonstrates that public space is constituted\, not just by discourse\, but more importantly\, by embodied collective performances\, i.e. the appearing and assembling of bodies. Taking this suggestion as its starting point\, this paper seeks to investigate the relation between freedom of movement\, political freedom and public space. It will confront Butler’s account of the freedom of assembly with Arendt’s remarks on freedom of movement\, and with Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of embodiment. \nAlthough Arendt hints at the corporeal nature of freedom of movement as basic to political freedom\, she does not take bodies’ movements seriously enough. For Merleau-Ponty\, on the other hand\, the body and the world are strictly complementary. Space is constituted by the body’s motility and its ‘I can’s’. However\, he does not account for the political meaning of this basic fact of embodiment\, whereas his notion of freedom is surprisingly abstract. \nI argue that Butler is right in demonstrating that performative freedom refers not just to discourse (speech) but also\, and maybe even more fundamentally\, to embodied collective performances. Assemblages of bodies in public space are not merely pre-political\, as Arendt thinks\, but in themselves already politically meaningful. However\, I would argue that the freedom of assembly is conditional\, not on the vulnerable\, precarious and suffering body (which ‘as such’ is a-political\, as I agree with Arendt)\, but on the capable – including the resisting – body. \nAs part of a larger project on the phenomenology of Apartheid and post-Apartheid civic action\, I will illustrate my argument with two case studies. First\, the 1960 protests\, led by Robert Sobukwe\, against the Pass Law which severely restricted black people’s freedom of movement. These protests constituted not just struggles for liberation\, but also exercises in political freedom. The second case concerns post-Apartheid inhibitions of freedom of movement in public space in democratic post-Apartheid South Africa\, due to the generalized fear of physical violence on the one hand and the acceleration of the privatization of formerly public spaces.” \n(Dr. Marieke Borren) \n

SUMMARY:Colloque International Émilie Du Châtelet
DESCRIPTION:INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ÉMILIE DU CHÂTELET \nParis\, November 17th and 18th\, 2017 \nArchives diplomatiques (La Courneuve) and Archives nationales (Paris) \nThe Société Voltaire\, Les Cahiers haut-marnais and the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists (Paderborn University\, Germany) co-organize an international conference on the works of the French Enlightenment philosopher Émilie Du Châtelet. Being the second international conference in 2017 on this exceptional thinker – following the conferences “Émilie Du Châtelet und die deutsche Aufklärung” (Potsdam 2006) and “Époque Émilienne” (Paderborn\, 2017) – the forthcoming event documents once more the decisive progress made by Du Châtelet scholarship in recent years. \nÉmilie Du Châtelet\, whose works have been widely neglected until the mid-20th century\, is now increasingly recognized as one of the central figures of the early European Enlightenment. The rediscovering of the once famous and influential philosophe has been particularly accelerated during the last years by the discovery of by then unknown manuscripts in 2010. This has enabled completely new research on her life and work\, thus opening new historical and interpretive perspectives. Consequently\, the contributions to the conference deal with the full scale of research on her work. The topics of the talks range from the edition of newly accessible manuscripts through new perspectives on some of her texts to the fate of her son\, an important figure in the beginning French Revolution. \nSpeakers include: \nÉlisabeth Badinter\, Anne-Lise Rey\, Natalia Speranskaja\, Eszter Kovacs\, Ruth Hagengruber\, Andrew Brown\, Stefanie Ertz\, Ana Rodrigues\, Elena Muceni\, Mylène Vangeon\, Marie Fontaine\, Maria Susana Seguin\, Veronique Le Ru\, Gianni Paganini\, Michel Toulmonde\, Linda Gil\, Fritz Nagel\, John Iverson \nOrganizers: Andrew Brown\, Ulla Kölving\, Alain Morgat\, Samuel Mourin  \nLocations: \nNovember 17th: \nCentre des Archives diplomatiques du ministère des Affaires étrangères\n3 rue Suzanne Masson\, 93120 La Courneuve\nRER-B\, La Courneuve-Aubervilliers \nNovember 18th: \nArchives nationales\, Hôtel de Soubise\, 60 rue des Francs-Bourgeois\, 75003 Paris

SUMMARY:The Future of Europe – an Urgent Challenge to Global Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:The aim of SWIP Austria is to bring into focus the importance of women working in academia and to promote their work in philosophy both inside and outside of the university setting. An organized association of women philosophers and feminist philosophers is especially important when set against the recent institutional background in Europe and more specifically in Austria. It is important to emphasize that the intention of the society is the visualization of women in philosophy from all disciplines\, sub-disciplines and shades of opinion inside philosophy. SWIP is not only a forum for feminists and gender-scientists\, it should be a society for feminists\, as well as women philosophers who do not consider themselves feminists or feminist philosophers per se. The targets and duties of the society for women in philosophy are as follows: the society is a nonprofit organization to support women working in and committed to the study of philosophy in Austria. Its purpose is to advance equal treatment and gender parity for women in philosophy\, both students and professionals\, philosophers at all levels of academia\, colleagues in other institutions and also in our society as a whole. \nSWIP will work towards the following aims: Fostering and facilitating cooperation between women in philosophy; supporting women in philosophy in a holistic sense; building awareness of recent and past discrimination against women; collecting useful information of scientific and philosophical concern for women in philosophy; commitment to ending discrimination against women\, which can be found not only in all parts of our society\, but also at universities. It is very important to offer a forum to connect women in philosophy both in Austria and internationally.

SUMMARY:Culture of Exclusion? 5th Edition: Women
DESCRIPTION:In the fifth (and the first international) edition of our „Culture of Exclusion” conference program we want to examine the situation of women.\nOn the one hand\, women in Western societies have gained the rights to equality. However\, a question about the actual implementation of these rights emerges. Is really the role of women equal to the role of men? Do they really earn the same? Or maybe they still have to choose between career and family? Are women still objects of sexist remarks or is their sexuality commonly respected? \nOn the other hand\, in many regions of the world women are objectified and subordinated to men. Nevertheless\, there are also feminists in those regions. So are the human rights really for all humans or not? \nHalf of the mankind is constituted by women\, often marginalized\, often mocked and ridiculed\, „too old”\, „too fat”\, „too dumb”\, „too emotional”. Our discussion of the exclusion will analyze these stereotypes resulting in the lack of actual equality and the approval of a gender-conditioned physical and psychological violence. It will also aim at showing the power of women and their ever important contribution in shaping cultures and societies.

SUMMARY:CFP Special Issue: Women & Language
DESCRIPTION:The Following CPF may be of interest to those of you interested in the history of gender identity. \nSpecial Issue: Women & Language\nGuest Editor: Leland G. Spencer\, Miami University\nTranscending the Acronym: Genders\, Sexes\, Sexualities\, and Gender Identities Beyond “LGBT”\nArticle Deadline: January 31\, 2018\nCritical studies of gender\, sex\, sexuality\, and gender identity have many goals\, and certainly one includes the effort to trouble\, interrogate\, and upend binaries\, dichotomies\, and rigid categories—and the naturalization thereof. Despite these underlying theoretical commitments many of us share\, research about sexuality and gender identity often subtly reinscribes many of the categories and even binaries it purports to disavow. The ubiquitous initialism LGBT (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender)\, sometimes extended to become more inclusive by adding a Q for “queer” or “questioning” or an A for “ally” or “asexual\,” often obscures as much as it clarifies. For instance\, the acronym problematically conflates gender identity and sexuality\, leading to dubious conclusions in articles that claim to report results about “LGBT” people but have actually only surveyed cisgender gay and lesbian people. The acronym also leaves out a range of sexualities and gender identities\, and the ones it represents overemphasize colonized\, Western\, and White understandings of sexuality and gender identity. \nThus\, this special issue invites articles that explore identities and expressions of gender\, sex\, sexuality\, and gender identity not typically contained in the acronym\, including analyses that interrogate the acronym and its hegemony as such. Potential topics include but are not limited to: \n\npansexuality\,\nasexuality\,\nskoliosexuality\,\nagender\,\ngenderqueer\,\nquare\,\nintersex\,\ntwo spirit\,\npolyamory\,\nthird gender\,\ngender fluidity\,\nand many more.\n\nAll types of original research are welcome\, including but not limited to: quantitative\, qualitative\, rhetorical\, critical\, theoretical\, historical\, performative\, creative/artistic\, and autoethnographic. Contributions that consider intersections of various axes of difference are especially encouraged\, as are articles that consider non-Western understandings of gender\, sex\, sexuality\, and gender identity. Articles may have any of the following goals (again\, not an exhaustive list): \n\ndefinition and theorization of terms\,\noffering histories and best practices for language use\,\nanalysis of experiences of persons at particular social locations\,\ncriticism of portrayals or representations in media\,\ntheoretically informed analysis of personal experiences\,\nsocial movement criticism\,\nor examination of the influence of social institutions such as education\, statist violence\, religion\, workplaces and the economy\, or healthcare practices.\n\nArticles should follow the general guidelines for manuscripts to be submitted to Women & Language but should be submitted by email to Dr. Leland G. Spencer\, spencelg@miamioh.edu. Inquiries about the issue may be sent to the same email address.

SUMMARY:Radicalism and Compromise
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Ethics\, Politics and Society (CEPS) – formerly the Political Theory Group – of the University of Minho\, is pleased to announce the III  Braga Colloquium in the History of Moral and Political Philosophy\, an international annual conference to be held every year in January at the University of Minho in Braga\, Portugal. The purpose of this conference series is to promote the study of the tradition of political and moral philosophy and its legacy in shaping our institutions\, culture and beliefs. But it will focus on how this tradition can contribute to tackling the challenges our societies are facing today. Every year the conference will have a specific theme\, which will be chosen by taking into consideration the current global political situation. \nIn line with the spirit behind this new series of conferences\, the third edition of the Braga Colloquium in the History of Moral and Political Philosophy will be dedicated to explore the ideas of “radicalism” and “compromise”.\nPolitics has frequently been defined as the art of the possible or the art of compromise. More dramatically\, it has been depicted as the realm of Faustian deals and tragic choices. Max Weber famously wrote that the political call demands endurance in the face of disappointment. It is the realm of frustration and sacrifices\, of fragile equilibriums between fiat justitia and raison d’état. \nSometimes the existence of political structures of accountability relaxes the dependence on character\, reputation\, and honor among conflicting parties. Reasonable civic duties suffice to deflate social conflicts and to compensate offended actors. Lacking these institutions\, integrity becomes non-negotiable for social trust. \nOn occasion\, however\, a social order of tolerance would not emerge without sacrificing the moral integrity of former heroes that we now consider dogmatic integrists. Conversely\, this institutional order of tolerance also allows the political space for the reconstruction of identity claims for recognition that derive their radical strength from their intrinsic aversion to political settlement. \nFrom a historical point of view\, our political languages and attitudes towards compromise\, negotiation\, bargaining\, and agreement have changed in a myriad of contexts and traditions. As so did our conceptions of what seemed once worth sacrificing or defending. \nThe aim of this Colloquium is to bring to the fore philosophical treatments from various philosophical traditions of these aspects of political activity\, and to do so from an historical perspective that might help us shed light on the shape of things as they are now. \n​The Colloquium welcomes original explorations of political conflicts that illuminate these dimensions of conceptual change in radicalism and compromise from different traditions and perspectives. \nThe keynote speaker will be Prof. Avishai Margalit (The Faculty of Humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem). \nThe official language of the conference will be English. \n  \nCall for Papers\n\nPlease note that the organizers encourage submissions about the contribution of women philosophers of the past. \nAbstract submission:\nProposals must contain an abstract (400-500 words) prepared for blind review\, along with 5 keywords. Please provide your name\, contact information\, affiliation\, and a short 2-3 line bio.\nProposals must be sent via this Registration Form.\nFurther queries can be directed to >bragacolloquium@gmail.com \nDeadline for abstract submissions: November 15\, 2017.\nDeadline for notification of acceptance: November 26\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Early Modern Analyses of Male Dominance as Tyranny
DESCRIPTION:Two 17th century Venetian women\, Lucrezia Marinella and Arcangela Tarabotti\, argued that the power men exercised over women should be conceptualized as tyranny.  Their aim in so doing was to expose that power as a political injustice.  In disputing the claim that the authority of men over women was grounded in nature they contributed to making sexual inequality visible as a political phenomenon. In this paper I sketch the context in which Marinella and Taribotti wrote\, and explore their different claims and arguments.  I argue that in insisting on the natural\, divinely bestowed liberty and rational capacity of women in their criticism of masculine tyranny they laid the foundation for later efforts to gain the rights of political participation for women.

SUMMARY:Frauen - Das käufliche Geschlecht
DESCRIPTION:This panel discussion is organized by the working group “Frauenrechte sind Menschenrechte“\, the project “In der Philosophie zu Hause“\, its related student group PEGASUS and the women’s shelter in Paderborn. \nProstitution\, from the Latin prostituere = flaunt\, denotes the performance of sexual acts as a trade. Prostitution is often referred to as the “oldest trade in the world”\, but in fact can only be found in patriarchally organized cultures that introduced private property and the gender division of labor. The social evaluation of prostitution is culture-dependent\, it varies according to prevailing ideological and religious prejudices. However\, prostitutes have always been stigmatized\, discriminated against and often exploited. Since the late twentieth century\, prostitution associations and human rights organizations try to stop this discrimination and exploitation. However\, what action needs to be taken is discussed controversially. Some call for a legal recognition for prostitution as work\, others fight for the abolition of this social practice\, which is considered a violation of human dignity. The discussion about legalization or criminalization of prostitution and all involved is controversial worldwide. \nWith this debate\, the action day “Frauen – Das käufliche Geschlecht (Women – The Gender For Sale)” Day would like to make a contribution to the special situation in Germany. What regulates the German Prostitution Protection Act? What is the situation of prostituting women in Germany? And how do the communities deal with prostitution? The German Prostitution Protection Act incorporates a regulatory principle in dealing with commercial prostitution\, but many serious problems remain. Is the abolition principle\, also called the Nordic model\, also a solution for Germany? \nWe would like to discuss these and other questions with experts and the audience. \nAll interested parties are welcome to attend! \nRegistration under: frauenrechte-sind-menschenrechte@web.de \n

SUMMARY:Bridging the Gender Gap Through Time: How Women Philosophers of the Past Contributed to Today's Thought
DESCRIPTION:Women have had a far deeper and more extensive influence on the history than is commonly realised. Far from confining their interests to questions of gender and domestic matters\, women have been writing on all aspects of philosophy for as long as such a discipline can be identified. Indeed\, it is often surprising just how much high quality philosophical and political thought women have produced throughout history given that so few of the writers are known outside of a few specialist departments.\nAcross history\, women’s writing is now being recovered not as marginal but as theoretically important in its own right. Amongst the many names one could list\, we might think of Hildegard von Bingen and Christine de Pizan from the Middle Ages; Margaret Cavendish\, Anne Conway\, and Mary Astell in the Early Modern Period; Catharine Macaulay\, Mary Wollstonecraft\, Anna Laetitia Barbauld\, as well as Olympe de Gouges and Sophie de Grouchy\, in the revolutionary period of the Enlightenment; to say nothing of Mary Prince\, Harriet Jacobs\, and Sojourner Truth amongst the numerous slave and abolitionist writings of the nineteenth century.\nIn spite of the many difficulties women have had in making their voices heard philosophically – women did not have access to the highest levels of education\, they often had to confine themselves to safe subjects to avoid social censure\, they frequently found it necessary to write anonymously or to destroy one’s work\, and they were in any case not normally taken seriously – their work far was more influential in their own time than we often realize today\, and it still has the potential to speak to us in our own time through its influence on contemporary debates and issues.\nThe purpose of this conference is both to raise awareness of the rich historical tradition of women’s philosophy as well as to help make the connection with current social\, moral\, political and philosophical debate by bringing neglected women writers\, past and present\, into dialogue with today’s discourses.\nWe invite submissions for papers on any related theme\, including but not limited to those named above. We are also interested in papers focused on women writing from a non-Western tradition\, or under conditions of social or political oppression today. Presentations may address any area of philosophy\, or of social\, moral and political thinking more widely conceived. Some suggested topics include women philosophers on education\, social reform\, or revolution. \nConvenors: Sandrine Bergès (Bilkent)\, Alan Coffee (King’s)\nKeynote Speakers: Eileen Hunt Botting (Notre Dame) and TBA \nCall for Papers \nProgram
