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
