SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Dr. Pierpaolo Betti: Atomism and Monadism Combined: Continuities between Du Châtelet’s and Kant’s Accounts of Matter
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Most scholars emphasize the discontinuity in Kant’s early accounts of matter\, reinforcing the longstanding view that the young Kant explored various positions without committing to a specific one. More specifically\, commentators tend to read the shift from atomism to monadism or\, conversely\, from monadism to atomism\, as a turning point in Kant’s pre-critical account of matter. I challenge these readings by arguing that the young Kant did not conceive of atomism and monadism as mutually exclusive alternatives. Rather\, he developed an account of matter that combined monadism in metaphysics and a version of atomism known as corpuscularism in physics. I further show that\, prior to Kant\, Du Châtelet had already articulated such a hybrid account of matter by drawing on Wolffian ideas. By comparing Du Châtelet’s Institutions de physique with Kant’s early texts on natural philosophy\, I suggest that Du Châtelet’s views may have influenced Kant’s early account of matter more significantly than has generally been acknowledged in the literature. \nPierpaolo Betti obtained his PhD from KU Leuven in 2025. His doctoral research focused on the evolution of the concept of monad in Kant’s philosophy in light of the early reception of Leibniz’s monadology. As of November\, he will be a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists at Paderborn University\, where he will contribute to the historical-critical edition of Du Châtelet’s Institutions de physique. His publications include “Kant’s Mature Account of Monads as Objects in the Idea” (The Southern Journal of Philosophy\, 2024) and “The Influence of Leibniz’s New Essays on Kant’s Account of Impenetrability in the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science” (book chapter in Leibniz in der klassischendeutschen Philosophie\, edited by Gregor Schäfer. Springer/Metzler\, forthcoming). \nThe Talk is part of the regular research colloquium held at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. The research colloquium is organised by the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. \nEverybody is welcome to attend! \nThe talk will start at 4 pm. \nRoom: TP8.1.46 \nBuilding: Technologiepark 8 \nAdress: Technologiepark 8\, 33098 Paderborn

SUMMARY:New Voices - Aneta Kohoutova: Through my absent body\, I perceive you.  Spatiality and female corporeality in public spaces
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Arendt Today\nThe Winter Term Talk Series 2025/26\, organised by Samantha Fazekas (Trinity College Dublin) and Maria Robaszkiewicz (UPB)\, is an online talk series dedicated to Hannah Arendt. \nArendt could aptly be described as a thinker of the crisis\, or perhaps rather of multiple crises. This motif is ever-present in her work and\, indeed\, it is a concept that is becoming ever-present in our own time. This is one of the reasons why academic and public interest in Arendt’s writings is currently skyrocketing. It is because so many politically acute challenges today call not for dogmatic\, but for critical and practical perspectives. In her works\, Arendt seems to be looking for crises: cracks in the fabric of the everyday\, which offer an opening\, enabling individuals to appear before each other and become political actors. It is not that action necessarily needs a crisis\, but a crisis definitely needs action. Crisis\, for Arendt\, is always ambivalent. It presupposes a destructive moment\, but also a constructive one. As she states\, “The opportunity\, provided by the very fact of crisis – which tears away façades and obliterates prejudices to explore and inquire into whatever has been laid bare of the essence of the matter.” A crisis only proves disastrous when the reaction to it consists of recourse to the ways of thinking prescribed by tradition\, answered in conventional\, schematic ways.  \nIn line with Arendt’s critical spirit\, and especially her concept of natality (every human’s capability of striking new beginnings in the world)\, this edition of the New Voces talk series introduces contributions of emerging Arendt scholars addressing issues of philosophic and political relevance for the world in which we live today. Topics include the female body\, speech and speechlessness\, dwelling and home\, meanings of property\, and natality in times of dictatorship. Everyone is welcome to join us in discussing Hannah Arendt’s relevance today! \nEveryone is welcome to attend. You will get the Zoom-Link here or at maria.robaszkiewicz@upb.de.
