SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Laura E. Herrera Castillo: Beyond Passive Reception: Liselotte von der Pfalz and G.W. Leibniz on F.M. van Helmont
DESCRIPTION:While the historiography of philosophy has increasingly integrated marginalized figures\, the philosophical exchanges between Leibniz and his female correspondents remain understudied. Beyond well-known exchanges with figures like Lady Damaris Masham and Caroline of Ansbach (within the Clarke-Dispute)\, significant correspondences still await scholarly attention. This paper examines a rich thread in Leibniz’s correspondence with Sophie of Hannover\, focusing on the critical intervention of Elisabeth Charlotte (Liselotte) von der Pfalz\, whose challenges prompted an exchange on the thought of Francis Mercury van Helmont. As the first study\, to my knowledge\, dedicated to this episode and to treating Liselotte’s letters as philosophical documents\, its primary aim is to present and analyze this correspondence. Through this analysis\, the study seeks to elucidate Liselotte’s distinct philosophical attitude and\, to a lesser extent\, Sophie’s. Ultimately\, this microhistory addresses a broader meta-philosophical question: What does this episode reveal about early modern intellectual networks and the strategies women used to engage in philosophical discourse from the margins of official academic life? \nDr. Laura Herrera Castillo currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Leibniz-Forschungsstelle in Münster and teaches as an adjunct lecturer (Lehrbeauftragte) in Philosophy at the University of Münster. Originally from Colombia\, she earned her doctorate on Philosophy in Granada\, Spain\, with a thesis on Leibniz’s concept of function across his mathematics\, physics\, and metaphysics. She has conducted research at the universities of Münster and Hannover and has held a visiting professorship at LMU Munich.E-Mail: laura.herreracastillo@uni-muenster.de \nThe Talk is part of the regular research colloquium held at 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:Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab - The falls of Europe and Critical European Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:The falls of Europe and Critical European Philosophy \nTalk by Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab \nAssociate Professor of Philosophy \nDoha Institute for Graduate Studies \nMuch of critical European philosophy has emerged in response to situations of European collapse such as the rise of fascism\, World War II\, the annihilation of European Jewry\, and the Gaza war. To what extent was the non-European a consideration in those efforts of philosophical critical self-reflection? In other words\, to what extent was the history of Europe outside Europe part of that self-reflection? My talk examines this question by looking at a few samples of those efforts\, namely Adorno’s analysis of the “Authoritarian Personality\,” Sartre’s Existentialism and Levinas’s ethical prima philosophia. It compares them with readings of the same epoch and the same phenomena by philosophers from outside Europe\, such as Aimé Césaire\, W.E.B. Dubois and others. My talk ends with a few remarks on some of the findings of this contrapuntal reading and some reflections on the last episode of Europe’s fall in Gaza.

SUMMARY:New Voices - Magnus Ferguson: Speaking Others into the World
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In certain contexts unreciprocated speech can be an important form of care for persons who would otherwise find it difficult to retain their place in shared worlds of linguistic meaning\, such as those who lose capacities for linguistic expression due to illness. Philosophers and political theorists often underscore the importance of reciprocated speech for sharing in a human world. Hannah Arendt makes this point especially forcefully in The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition\, in which she suggests that ‘speechless’ persons are excluded from the linguistic ‘web of relationships’—they are\, she writes\, ‘literally dead to the world.’ I reconstruct several of Arendt’s analyses of speech and speechlessness\, and argue that they are prima facie exclusionary to nonspeaking persons. I also identify resources in Arendt’s corpus for theorizing unreciprocated speech as a mode of care that can offer listeners footholds in the linguistic spheres of meaning around them. \nMagnus Ferguson (Ph.D.) is a Collegiate Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago and a Harper-Schmidt Fellow in the University of Chicago Society of Fellows. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Boston College in 2023\, and his B.A. in Religion from Columbia University in 2014. \nMore about the New Voices Winter Term Talk Series 25: https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/new-voices-talk-series/

SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Sebastian Luft: Toward an Ontology of Social Communities - With an Appendix on the Phenomenology of Social Communities
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Sebastian Luft will present his and Rodney K. B. Parker’s newly published book Gerda Walther. Toward an Ontology of Social Communities (De Gruyter\, 2025) as part of the regular Research Colloquium at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. \nLuft\, S. & Parker\, R. (2025). Gerda Walther. Toward an Ontology of Social Communities: With an Appendix on the Phenomenology of Social Communities. De Gruyter. \nAbstract: \nThis is the first full-text English translation of a seminal book within the phenomenological movement. \nThe work was orginally published in 1922 in Edmund Husserl’s yearbook Jahrbuch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung\, and has had a wide impact on work in phenomenology (Husserl\, Heideger\, Stein) and social ontology. Gerda Walther broaches the topic of social ontology\, i.e.\, a study of social communities. She carries out this task by using the phenomenological method\, that is\, a study of the first-person (both singular and plural) experience of being a part of a community\, what it feels like internally (and its constitutive elements)\, how it relates to other individuals or other communities\, and how unifications between individiuals and communities or between communities take place. \nThe book is an important contribution to the phenomenology of intersubjectivity or the study of social ontology. Social ontology has been an important and fruitful field of research in contemporary social theory\, cognitive science\, and other disciplines. It will be a crucial contribution to current research. \n\n\n\nPioneering study of the nature of the social world\nAuthor was student of Edmund Husserl\nImportant work of early phenomenology\n\n  \nAbout the translators: \nSebastian Luft is Professor of Philosophy at Paderborn University\, Germany. Rodney K.B. Parker is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at King’s University College\, Western University\, Ontario\, Canada. \n\n  \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 - Catherine Koekoek: Towards an architecture of democratic infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:Hanna 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.

SUMMARY:75 Years German Society for Philosophy/75 Jahre Deutsche Gesellschaft für Philosophie
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Europe Anew. \nSeventy-five years ago\, Germany joined the Council of Europe. Seventy-five years ago\, the German Society for Philosophy was founded. We are celebrating this coincidence with our anniversary event.\nThe ideals of the Council of Europe—rule of law\, human rights\, and democracy—are the result of centuries of philosophical reflection and debate. The European idea and the universal values it embodies cannot be understood without the great European philosophical tradition.\nThe motto of the anniversary celebration of the German Society for Philosophy is therefore: Rethinking Europe’s Philosophical Tradition in Light of Contemporary Challenges. \nPrior registration required\nHistoric Town Hall Paderborn\nRoom: Main Council Chamber (1st Floor)\nRathausplatz 1\, 33098 Paderborn \nFurther information: DGPhil \n————— \nEuropa neu denken. \nVor 75 Jahren wurde Deutschland in den Europarat aufgenommen. Vor 75 Jahren wurde die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Philosophie gegründet. Diese Koinzidenz würdigen wir mit unserer Jubiläumsfeier.\nDie Ideale des Europarates\, Rechtsstaatlichkeit\, Menschenrechte und Demokratie\, sind das Ergebnis jahrhundertelanger Auseinandersetzungen. Die europäische Idee und die von ihr getragenen Universalien sind ohne die große europäische philosophische Tradition nicht zu verstehen.\nDas Motto der Festveranstaltung zum 75-jährigen Jubiläum der Deutschen Philosophischen Gesellschaft lautet daher: Europas philosophische Tradition angesichts aktueller Herausforderungen neu denken. \nVorherige Anmeldung erforderlich\nHistorisches Rathaus Paderborn\nRaum: Großer Sitzungssaal (1.
