Alfabeto del futuro




Alfabeto del futuro: Memoria

Maurizio Ferraris e Gianluca Cuniberti - Rai Cultura


I Big data ci parlano intensivamente del presente, ma questa conoscenza non sarà mai completa sino a che non verrà integrata dai big data del passato, da una conoscenza estensiva che deriva dal rilancio degli archivi alla luce delle nuove tecnologie. Maurizio Ferraris ne discute con Gianluca Cuniberti, vicerettore alla ricerca dell'Università di Torino.

Highlights


Maurizio Ferraris, Unsere tolle GegenwartNotizen und Provokationen 
Turia + Kant, 2021
 
Maurizio Ferraris, eine der wichtigsten philosophischen Stimmen Italiens und Mitbegründer des »Neuen Realismus«, legt in diesem Buch eine Reihe von zeitdiagnostischen Miniaturen vor, die sich mit ironischem Gestus von vielen Prämissen (und Schlussfolgerungen) unserer deutungs­freudigen Epoche absetzen.
 
Auf Besuch in China, unterwegs im Web oder in der Isolation der eigenen Wohnung während der Covid-Pandemie richtet Ferraris seinen Blick zuerst nach außen, und nach unten: zu den Tatsachen, die unabhängig von unseren Überzeugungen und begrifflichen Konstrukten (das Kapital, die Globalisierung) uns unablässig überraschen, provozieren, zum Handeln bewegen. Vor allem bieten die Tatsachen uns aber Interaktions­möglichkeiten und dadurch weit mehr – und kreativere – Optionen, als die düsteren Szenarien vieler Gegenwarts­interpreten vermuten ließen.

Il bastone, segno di un’umanità intelligente

Lucia Vantini, L’osservatore romano (6/7/2021)
 
È una scena di viaggio quella rappresentata da Marco, che si apre ricordando che tutto inizia con un evento particolare e straordinario: Gesù chiama e attira a sé i Dodici — numero in cui si racchiude la storia di un popolo — ma non ha alcuna intenzione di trattenerli, come invece farebbe un uomo alla ricerca di specchi. Anzi, egli fa sperimentare loro un forte desiderio di mettersi in cammino per incontrare altre persone a cui raccontare la buona notizia del vangelo. È sempre così quando c’è di mezzo lo Spirito: la vita si inquieta, si risveglia, si alza, si muove [...] Secondo un bel testo del filosofo Maurizio Ferraris (L’imbecillità è una cosa seria), “imbecille” è appunto chi non ha bastone, cioè chi resta sul piano della natura, non ha una penna per discutere la storia, subisce la tecnica e, non da ultimo, fatica a fare i conti con il tempo perché — come nell’enigma della Sfinge — noi siamo coloro che alla fine della vita camminano con tre gambe.[continua a leggere]

Maurizio Ferraris a Diderot - Le voci dell'attualità

Radio Svizzera Italiana

Diffondere cultura è partecipare al progresso della società. Così la pensava Denis Diderot, il grande fautore del progetto settecentesco dell’Enciclopedia. Con Diderot Rete Due vuole restituire la ricchezza, la profondità e la vitalità della cultura contemporanea. Le voci della nostra Encyclopédie radiofonica sono le voci dei protagonisti, che si tratti "delle scienze, delle arti e dei mestieri” o di temi che sempre più investono la nostra società, come l’architettura sostenibile, l’urbanistica, la didattica del Terzo Millennio, la realtà virtuale, i nuovi nazionalismi, l’identità o la post sessualità. Sempre a contatto col presente e con quanto accade sul territorio, pronti a coglierne potenzialità o aspetti critici, con l’ambizione di essere utile strumento di divulgazione e luogo di confronto.

, Aspetti ontologici dell’azione umana
12 luglio, ore 16.00,
Webex

Human agency is constituted by reasons. Behavior is action, if guided by reasons. But how are we to conceive the Effect of Reasons? And how is this compatible with our scientific world view? I shall discuss three characteristics of reasons: normativity , objectivity, and non-algorithmicity. Social facts play an important role for practical reasons and although they are only constituted by social practices, they are objective, what implies their realistic interpretation. This leads to the question how theoretical and practical reasons relate. I shall end with a discussion of the (metaphysical) status of reasons.

11° Edizione di Demanio Marittimo Km 278
23 e 24 Luglio 2021 - Marzocca di Senigallia

La spiaggia è da sempre una metafora, un luogo di pensieri e dialoghi, un crocevia degli immaginari, un luogo delle economie e delle trasformazioni urbane, della natura e del progetto. Proprio qui la rivista Mappe ha scelto di sviluppare un progetto culturale in collaborazione con il Comune di Senigallia, la Regione Marche-Assessorato alla Cultura e con un’ampia rete di imprese, istituzioni, associazioni culturali. Dall’alba al tramonto, dalle 6.p.m alle 6 a.m. quei 100 metri di spiaggia con i sassi, le barche e gli argani, le nasse e le reti, si trasformano per una notte in un palcoscenico della contemporaneità, in un susseguirsi di workshop, dibattiti, performance, installazioni video e sonore, dj set, reading, degustazioni.

Palermo, July 26, h. 14.00-17.00
 
Seit der Jahrtausendwende ist die Diskussion zur Post-Postmoderne sehr rege geworden, sie hat viele Texte hervorgebracht, entsprechend groß ist auch die Vielfalt der Termini, mit denen die neue Ära apostrophiert werden soll. Die theoretischen Vorschläge und Prognosen sind ebenfalls sehr heterogen und beziehen sich auf so unterschiedliche Erscheinungen und Erfahrungswelten, wie das gegenwärtige künstlerische Schaffen, die veränderte weltpolitische Situation, die Entwicklung der Informationstechnologien usw. Wie Kristin Eichhorn bemerkt, gibt es im Moment keine Überwindung der Postmoderne, aber es gibt Diskurse darüber, auf die reagiert wird (Eichhorn 2014: 14).

Are we all necessarily (a little) stupid?
The News 24 - www.then24.com

Bullshit, that of others and our own, is our daily lot. Moreover, the psychological and philosophical literature offers us fascinating works on the subject. No wonder: to study it is to observe human nature.

There is the “poor asshole” whom we despise, the horrifying “dirty asshole”, and the “asshole”, who believes himself superior, above the law, and for whom the others hardly exist. At the supermarket, at the post office, he walks past everyone. In crowded transport, he rushes to the only free seat, without a glance for the woman carrying her child or the old man who is struggling. We have to adapt to him, to his demands, to his whims, to what he says is the truth [continua a leggere]

Uscire velocemente dalla prima pandemia dell’era post-umana
Martedì 6 Luglio 2021, Rossano Buccioni


La pandemia - osserva l’immunologo Alberto Mantovani - «è una vicenda di salute pubblica in cui servono regole chiare ed omogenee sul territorio nazionale. I vaccini sono come la cintura di sicurezza in auto: una volta allacciata non possiamo pensare di passare col rosso o superare i limiti di velocità». L’infettivologo Massimo Andreoni (direttore scientifico della Società italiana di malattie infettive) ha recentemente dichiarato che «è un errore fornire il Green pass dopo la prima dose di vaccino, perché avere un’attestazione scritta non è affatto sufficiente per sentirsi al sicuro», mandando in frantumi i dichiarati intenti di milioni di persone che richiedono alla vaccinazione l’agognato ritorno alla normalità [...]  All’interno di quella che il filosofo Maurizio Ferraris definisce «teoria del documento», la certificazione green pass restituisce validità ad un appannaggio (immunizzazione) già protagonista del processo di soggettivazione, sottraendoci da quella “no go area” del rischio pandemico che limitava l’espressione di identità e possibilità [continua a leggere].

Tecnica e uomo, chi comanda fra i due?

Remo Bassetti - www.remobassetti.it
 
È giusto dire che l’uomo è padrone della natura ma ormai sempre più schiavo della tecnica? Maurizio Ferraris, in un articolo di qualche settimana fa su Repubblica, contesta questo assunto, che sarebbe sconfessato dall’evidenza dei fatti attuali, nei quali la natura ci ha messo in ginocchio con la pandemia e a salvarci è stato quel prodotto della tecnica che è il vaccino. Il filosofo fa risalire l’argomento al secondo Heidegger, quello di Das Gestell; e suggerisce che il suo recepimento sia una comoda assoluzione dai crimini umani, per imputarli alla tecnica, il cui esempio storico fu l’autodifesa di Albert Speer durante il processo di Norimberga.
Ferraris sostiene che tanto più la tecnica è perfezionata tanto più è completamente dipendente dall’uomo: una tecnologia rudimentale, come un bastone – spiega – è suscettibile di molti usi; ma un telefonino non è altro che la “registrazione servile delle forme di vita umana” e l’automazione nulla più che l’abilitazione della macchina ad agire come umano, sulla base della registrazione e della riproduzione dell’umano;  e ne conclude che “è davvero una strana paura che le macchine prendano il potere o che gli algoritmi ci governino” (come sarebbe assurdo “attribuire la responsabilità della morte di Cesare ai pugnali e la caduta delle funivie ai forchettoni”) e, ottimisticamente, che “gli algoritmi ci dicono cosa fare solo se siamo disposti ad obbedirli” [continua a leggere]

Premio di Laurea “Maria Chindamo” per tesi di laurea magistrale su “Discriminazioni, violenza di genere e femminicidio, con particolare riferimento ai contesti di criminalità organizzata”


Diffondiamo con piacere, su indicazione di Donata Chiricò, notizia del bando di concorso per l’attribuzione del Premio di Laurea “Maria Chindamo” per tesi di laurea magistrale su “Discriminazioni, violenza di genere e femminicidio, con particolare riferimento ai contesti di criminalità organizzata”, promosso dal Centro Interdipartimentale in Women’s Studies "Milly Villa" dell’Università della Calabria.
 
Maria Chindamo, scomparsa da Limbadi nel maggio 2016, era imprenditrice agricola, commercialista e studentessa universitaria. Donna libera e determinata, Maria Chindamo è emblema di tante storie di donne calabresi che con competenza e determinazione hanno costruito percorsi di libertà e liberazione. La storia di Maria, entrata nei percorsi di approfondimento e studio del Centro, ha permesso di evidenziare come una lettura intersezionale possa far riflettere sui temi del lavoro, dell’emancipazione delle persone e dei territori, dei percorsi di autodeterminazione delle donne. Per questo, il Centro ha inteso sin da subito inserire la storia di Maria nei percorsi non solo conoscitivi ma anche di proposta politica per la trasformazione dei nostri contesti. 
 
Sono ammessi/e a partecipare al concorso i/le laureati/e dei corsi di laurea magistrale a ciclo unico e di laurea magistrale in qualsiasi Ateneo italiano, residenti in Calabria, che abbiano conseguito il titolo negli A.A. 2018-2019,2019-2020, 2020-2021.
 
La domanda di partecipazione al Premio di Laurea dovrà pervenire, unitamente alla documentazione prevista dal bando, entro il 30 settembre 2021 (ore 12:00).
 
Il bando è pubblicato sul sito del Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche e Sociali dell'Università della Calabria e sul portale di Ateneo.

CAT 2021 Call for Applications
Submission deadline: 1 September 2021
 
Description: The aim of the CAT initiative is to foster networks of excellent early-career researchers dedicated to devising new ideas to understand and to tackle current or emerging societal challenges. Although the programme has a strong focus on the societal relevance of the projects, it is entirely blue sky, bottom-up and non-thematic. CAT encourages a collaboration with stakeholders outside academia (industry, policymakers, NGOs...) who are willing to support or engage in innovative research initiatives. In order to engage in fruitful discussions and mature their ideas, the groups will be given the opportunity to meet for shortstaysin different participating institutes, and to be put in contact with the institutes’ fellows and local research communities. With few guidelines and a very light application process, CAT is designed to maximize the creativity of research groups. This call has been incubated in the Network of European Institutes for Advanced Study (NETIAS) and also involves institutes beyond the network. The collaboration between twelve different institutes in different countries aims at giving these groups access to a great variety of high-level thinkers and researchers in order to go beyond the current frontiers of knowledge and to develop highly innovative ideas on how to address very complex societal issues.

Instructions: Please submit your application documents in English as PDF files. Applications should include the following materials:
(1) a 300-word abstract;
(2) a 3000-word max project proposal (references not included in the count) OR a video of 15 min max (in this case, please include the web link in the abstract), describing the team’s research question and how it plans to address it. The team’s motivation as well as the societal issues addressed and the interdisciplinary aspects of the project should be specified;
(3) a work plan for the whole project duration, including meetings (tentative dates and possibly preferred hosting IAS) and activities with an indicative calendar;
(4) a short description of the team;
(5) a PDF file with CVs for each participant and an indication of where they will travel from to the meetings;
(6) letters of support: at least two from academic researchers; additional letters from extra-academic stakeholders outside academia are encouraged.

Submission deadline: 22 July 2021

Description: The Doctoral Course in Sustainable Development and Climate Change (PhD-SDC) aims to produce a new generation of knowledgeable people and future decision makers, with the capacity for societal re-design, to achieve a society whose objectives are not focused solely on economic growth. The degree course is aimed at providing the training and capabilities needed to handle current complex problems whose solution requires consideration of the interactions between economic and technological aspects, and societal issues such as justice and migration, health, pollution and climate change and access to water and food. Sustainability and climate change are the cross-disciplinary theme of the PhD-SDC which is organized in six curricula. This PhD course will offer doctoral candidates the opportunity to achieve in-depth education in a particular speciality according to the curriculum chosen, and high-level and robust learning and understanding of the areas included in the other five curricula. The course will provide opportunities to work in inter-disciplinary teams on topical sustainability and climate change-related problems and, thus, to learn how to approach problems from different angles and discuss and negotiate with experts in other fields. In other words, the aim is to provide an education experience that, as closely as possible, mirrors real-life complex problems facing humanity, whose solution will guarantee ‘a healthy and just future’ for coming generations. For example, the PhD candidates will be asked to propose effective means of achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations. The PhD programme includes six curricula, described in detail in the document “Research Programme”. The six curricula are:
1. Earth System and Environment
2. Socio-economic Risk and Impacts

Secondo convegno della Società Italiana di Filosofia Teoretica: Natura e Tecnica
Napoli, 14-16/10/2021

Submission deadline: 31 Agosto 2021

Descrizione: La domanda circa la relazione tra Tecnica e Natura accompagna la storia del pensiero filosofico e scientifico sin dai suoi inizi: dalle cosmogonie arcaiche all’invenzione della logica, dalla canonizzazione della geometria all’ideale umanistico dell’educazione, dalle arti magiche alle scienze sperimentali, in epoche e modi diversi si è ripresentata la medesima questione, al fine di comprendere non tanto quel che spettava all’una o all’altra, ma quanto dell’una c’era nell’altra. Nondimeno è però nella filosofia contemporanea che quell’interrogativo si è fatto più urgente e radicale, in ragione di un contesto nel quale le tecnologie sono divenute più pervasive e capaci di creare effetti su scala macroscopica e microscopica, modificando le relazioni e i ruoli sociali, le esperienze del dolore, del piacere e della malattia, la percezione e l’attenzione, i linguaggi, le distanze e gli spazi, gli uomini e il mondo. Per queste ragioni, perché antica e attuale come è la domanda sulla relazione tra Tecnica e Natura rappresenta forse la questione eponima della filosofia, la Sifit ha deciso di dedicare a questi temi il suo II Convegno.
Più in dettaglio, le aree su cui si sollecita una più ampia riflessione sono:
1) La domanda filosofica sulla tecnica nella storia del pensiero, individuando i principali punti di svolta in Heidegger, nell’organologia di Simondon e nella post- fenomenologia della tecnica;
2) Il confronto dell’antropologia filosofica e dell’etologia con la tecnica, allargando così lo sguardo anche sulla paleontologia, sullo studio della storia degli strumenti e sugli effetti che questa ha avuto sull’ominazione;
3) La storia della tecnica e delle macchine, in modo da fornire esempi di indagine specifica sulla morfologia delle tecniche;
4) L’indagine epistemologica e metodologica sul nesso su scienza e tecnica, considerandone non solo il profilo più generale, ma anche la peculiare interdipendenza tra teorie, modelli e strumenti di misura;
5) L’analisi del rapporto tra tecnica e natura tanto nelle scienze empiriche, quanto nell’antropologia e nella filosofia della mente.
Il convegno si terrà a Napoli, dall’8 al 10 ottobre 2020. Esso prevede delle sessioni
plenarie, con relazioni di invited speakers, unite a sessioni parallele in cui verranno
presentati contributi selezionati attraverso un call for abstracts.

Keynote speakers:
Giuliano Amato (Corte Costituzionale) AdrianoArdovino (Università di Chieti)
Massimo Cacciari (Università Vita e Salute San Raffaele, Milano) Gianluca Cuozzo
(Università di Torino) Roberta Lanfredini (Università di Firenze) Claudio La Rocca

(Università di Messina) Rocco Ronchi (Università dell’Aquila) Leonardo Samonà
(Università di Palermo) Giusi Strummiello (Università di Bari) Mauro Visentin
(Università di Sassari)

Istruzioni: Il convegno prevede la presentazione di 14 contributi, selezionati tramite una call e riservato a personale non strutturato nell’università o a ricercatori universitari a tempo determinato (RTD/a). Coloro che sono interessati a partecipare alla selezione, sono invitati a spedire un abstract all’indirizzo e-mail 2convegnosifit@gmail.com
Gli abstracts devono essere comprensivi di

Vita Cogitans. Almanac of Young Philosophers (2/2021, Issue 14).
Philosophy in Italy

Submission deadline: 15 september 2021

Advisory editors: Zhanna Nikolaeva (Saint Petersburg State University), Tiziana Andina (University of Turin, Labont)
 
Description: Actually philosophical thought in Italy is now attracting increasing interest outside of Italian borders. Philosophy in Italy has had a significant influence on Western philosophy for centuries. But the Russian readers know Italian philosophy insufficiently and fragmentally. What makes Italian philosophical thought so special? What makes it so similar to our type of perception? The issue dedicated to Italian philosophy we hope will open a unique synthesis of contemporary philosophy and the greatest traditions of the Past. This point was proved by Italian thinkers in Aesthetics and Semiology studies where they have invented a shaped culture that unites analytical origins of contemporary methodology with humanitarian questions. The Italian soil is proving to be an extraordinarily fertile ground for new concepts and innovative engagements between philosophy and those disciplines with which it proves itself capable of communicating, from law to theology, from linguistics to anthropology, politics, and beyond.
Instructions: We welcome academic articles, scientific translations, critical reviews (on books or scientific events), philosophical interviews, written by young researchers (students; postgraduates and researcher).
Instructions: Papers are submitted by the e-mail: vita.cogitans@yandex.ru or in z.nikolaeva@spbu.ru; zh.v.nikolaeva@gmail.com. Languages for publication: English, Russian. Submissions are getting through double-blind peer review. All the articles of “Vita Cogitans” will be in the open access; will be indexed of the Russian Science Citation Index & visible under agreement with Clarivate Analytics on the Web of Science platform (in the form of a separate database of RSCI). The webpage of the journal "Vita Cogitans. Almanac of Young Philosophers" on the web site of  Herzen University (in Russian). Additional information & finally guidelines to authors will also be available after 1 september, 2021 via the website too.
Rivista di Estetica (1/2023)
Unpacking the social world: groups and solidarity
Submission deadline: 8 January 2022

Description: “Sociality” is a fuzzy word that can be found in a wide range of scopes and debates, from antiquity to the contemporary age. Notwithstanding or rather just in virtue of its wide currency, however, there is no explicit consensus on the meaning “sociality” has. While biology and sociology have rather wide notions of sociality, the focus of social ontology is on the social world, that is, the ontological domain which is populated by social entities. While according to some sociality occurs as long as there is interaction among people, involving joint commitments and plural subjects, others refer to the social world as mostly made of institutional facts or social objects, or deal with social actions and practices.
This issue of Rivista di Estetica aims at shedding light on sociality by addressing two core classic subjects of social philosophy: groups and solidarity. Indeed, groups are the most obvious result of sociality as the tendency of grouping, depending on living and interacting with others. On the other hand, as another branch of sociality, solidarity has only recently attracted remarkable attention from social and political philosophers; while some propose to unpack it in terms of joint action, others explore the forms of mutual recognition that are combined in solidarity.
Topics and research questions include (but are not limited to):
  • The nature and identity of social groups;
  • Is sociality a constitutive feature of groups of people?
  • The nature of solidarity, and – if any – its opposite;
  • The kind of psychological mechanisms involved in dynamics of solidarity;
  • Is solidarity related to some distinctive group kind?
  • Is solidarity a necessary or sufficient condition for group formation?
 
Instructions: Submissions focusing on other aspects of social groups and solidarity, both from a theoretical and an ethical point of view are welcome. Articles must be written in English or in Italian and should not exceed 40.000 characters, notes and blank-spaces included.

The Monist
Transgenerationality, community and justice

Deadline for submissions: 31 December 2021
Guest editors: Tiziana Andina (University of Turin), Fausto Corvino (University of Turin)
 

The research on intergenerational justice has followed in the last decades three main directives: neo-contractualist models that aim to demonstrate that there can be mutual advantage in indirect cooperation or to find moral patches based on intra-familiar love; studies on the implications that utilitarianism, prioritarianism and sufficientarianism have with respect to future generations (e.g., the social discount rate, the repugnant conclusion, the hermit’s paradox, and so forth); analysis of how it is possible to conceive intergenerational harm in the face of the non-identity problem. There is, however, a third possible line of research, which, despite having received much less attention over the years, presents much less theoretical complications than the approaches set out above, and this is transgenerational communitarianism. Avner De Shalit outlined, more than twenty years ago, the concept of transgenerational community, that is, a community that despite the lack of face-to-face interactions between all its members (due to obvious temporal asymmetries) manages to ensure moral similarity between them through free and rational processes of collective reflection.

Although this idea is able to give normative foundation to intergenerational obligations without incurring the theoretical complications that meet the most known and discussed theories that are based on a strict methodological individualism, such as complications related to the identity of future people and population ethics, it has not been developed in the literature as due. At the same time, however, a consistent metaphysical research has gone ahead on the concepts of transgenerationality and of transgenerational actions, i.e., actions that can be realized only with the contribution of subjects other than those who initiated them – which is, in essence, the theoretical assumption of any transgenerational community.

Accordingly, the purpose of this special issue is to investigate the relationship between transgenerationality, on the one hand, and a community-based normative foundation of justice towards future generations, on the other. In particular, we are interested in addressing three theoretical issues:

– What are the metaphysical underpinnings of the concept of transgenerationality and under which circumstances one or more transgenerational actions can create duties of justice, positive or negative, towards future generations?

– What is a transgenerational community and what kind of obligations does it create among its members belonging to different generational cohorts? And what is the temporal extension of these obligations?

– What are the drawbacks of a communitarian approach to intergenerational justice? For example, can it give the right theoretical value to intergenerational problems, such as climate change, which have a clear cosmopolitan scope?

Journal of Transcendental Philosophy
Kant and the Role(s) of Doctrines of Method

Submission deadline: 1 April 2022

Guest editors: Andrew Chignell (Princeton University), Gabriele Gava (University of Turin)

Description: Each of Kant’s three Critiques includes a ‘doctrine of method’. There is a ‘Transcendental Doctrine of Method’ in the Critique of Pure Reason (1781/1787), a ‘Doctrine of Method of Pure Practical Reason’ in the Critique of Practical Reason (1788) and a ‘Doctrine of Method of the Teleological Power of Judgment’ in the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790). Additionally, there is an ‘Ethical Doctrine of Method’ in the Doctrine of Virtue, which is the second book of the Metaphysics of Morals (1797). These doctrines of method have been comparatively neglected by Kant scholars. In part this is no doubt because these chapters come at the end of very long and complicated books. In part, this is due to the false assumption that Kant only included these sections to adhere to a traditional architectonic division of philosophical works (see Kemp Smith 1918: 563).
Recently, however, there has been a wave of studies thatshow that Kant’s doctrines of method contain materials that were important to Kant and relevant to debates among Kant scholars as well as to some contemporary discussions. For example, consider the distinction between the methods of philosophy and of mathematics that Kant discusses in the ‘Discipline of Pure Reason’ chapter in the Doctrine of Method of the first Critique. The past thirty years has witnessed a series of important interpretations that appreciate the relevance of this distinction (see Wolff-Metternich 1995; De Jong 1995; Carson 1999; Shabel 2003; Sutherland 2004; Dunlop 2014), especially in relation to Kant’s philosophy of mathematics. Another group of scholars have highlighted the significance of the ‘Architectonic of Pure Reason’ chapter (also in the first Critique) to understanding Kant’s effort to generate a scientific metaphysics (see La Rocca 2003; Manchester 2003 and 2006; Sturm 2009; Gava 2014; Ferrarin 2015). More recently, the ‘Canon of Pure Reason’ chapter has attracted the most attention -- in particular the last section, wherein Kant develops a sophisticated account of different types of ‘taking-to-be-true’ (Fürwahrhalten). Among these are ‘opinion’ (Meinung), ‘belief’ (Glaube), ‘conviction’ (Überzeugung), persuasion (Überredung), and ‘knowledge’ (Wissen) (see Stevenson 2003; Chignell 2007a, 2007b, forthcoming 2022; Pasternack 2011 and 2014; Höwing 2016; Willaschek 2016; Gava 2019). Still other works have investigated what is peculiar to the ‘practical’ doctrines of method contained in Kant’s practical works (see Bacin 2002 and 2010). Despite this recent and growing interest in Kant’s doctrines of method, there is much about them that remains unclear. For one thing, in addition to ongoing debates and remaining questions regarding the issues that have already attracted scholarly attention, large sections of Kant’s doctrines of method are comparatively neglected. We welcome contributions that seek to refine our understanding of the familiar issues as well as those that explore new territory. Second, there are outstanding questions about what a doctrine of method is exactly, and what unifies the various doctrines of method found in Kant’s works. While the first and third Critiques connect their doctrines of method to the issue of whether a body of cognition can be considered a science, Kant explicitly denies that the ‘practical’ doctrines of method play this role (see 5:151). Therefore, one question that urgently needs discussion is just: what do ‘theoretical’ and ‘practical’ doctrines of method’ have in common that justifies their sharing a name? But even focus just on the ‘theoretical’ doctrines of method: how do their different components belong to a common project and contribute to showing that a body of cognition is a science (Wissenschaft)? We welcome contributions that seek to answer these unifying questions, as well as those that connect Kant’s doctrines of method to previous or subsequent methodological discussions (e.g. in the German rationalist, German idealist or pragmatist traditions).
We will organize and fund a workshop with the authors of the accepted papers at Princeton University in October 2022. The workshop will give authors the opportunity to receive additional feedback from other authors and various distinguished auditors before they submit final versions of their contributions. Participation in the workshop is mandatory for inclusion in the volume.

Instructions: Papers should be submitted by April 1st 2022, using the journal’s submission site. Upon submitting your manuscript, please specify in your cover letter that the manuscript is meant for this special issue, so that it can be assigned to the appropriate guest editors. Papers must be no longer than 10.000 words, including notes and references, and be prepared for blind review, removing all self-identifying references. The formatting of the submission is up to the author; accepted papers will be asked to adhere to journal style (see the journal’s website for further information: https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/jtph/jtph- overview.xml). No more than one submission per author is accepted.

Popular Inquiry
Forgotten everydays: Expanding Everyday Aesthetics

Submission deadline: 10 August 2021

Guest editors: Elisabetta Di Stefano, Carsten Friberg and Max Ryynänen

Description: “When we go out in the morning to collect trash…” “When we fly with our private jets…” “At 6 AM, when all of us prisoners wake up…” None of the aforementioned examples do sound like typical examples for the Everyday Aesthetics discourse. Looking critically at examples mentioned in articles on everyday aesthetics, one easily gets the feeling, that they touch mostly upon the aesthetics of the lives of the Western middle class. There are, of course, differing approaches too. Some touch upon issues like junkyards and roadside clutter (Leddy), and, of course, a lot in the discussion is just about theoretical frameworks, e.g. about seeing the everyday as a set of objects (Saito) or patterns that we are routinized to do and experience (Haapala). This special issue of Popular Inquiry would like to explore perspectives in Everyday Aesthetics from this point of view: what is lacking in the discussion? Everyone has an everyday life, and everybody has an everyday aesthetics. What does the aesthetics of the everyday look like in rural areas in Sahel and Central Asia, in an Inuit village in the Artic, in the slum in the outskirts of Delhi or Lagos – or on a farm in Ukraine? What about refugee camps, prisons and hospitals? And what is the everyday for someone living in the streets, or for the mentally ill who does not share experiences with fellow individuals? In what way does aesthetics and particularly Everyday Aesthetics make sense and offer theoretical concepts for characterising, analysing, understanding, and improving different forms of the everyday, that we haven’t thought of yet?
We ask for reflections on the aesthetics of the everyday, in particular, but not exclusively, in relation to the Everyday Aesthetics debate, to discuss the critical potentials of the discussion (this includes the possibility to claim that there is no such thing). The editors of this special issue would like to challenge the Western middleclass approaches. We encourage authors to dive into history, unseen lifestyles, forced lifestyles (prisons, hospitals) and any other topics, that, through their examples, might also touch upon a string in the more theoretical frameworks typical for the topic.

Instructions:  We welcome contributions in different academic stylistic traditions.

 DEADLINE APPROACHING  ESPES. The Slovak Journal of Aesthetics
Everyday Aesthetics: European Perspectives
Submission deadline: 15 July 2021

Guest Editors: Elisabetta Di Stefano, (University of Palermo), Sanna Lehtinen (Aalto University)
Host editor: Adrian Kvokacka (University of Prešov)
 
Description: Everyday Aesthetics is a trend of philosophical aesthetics that has been strongly developed in the early years of the 21st century. Firstly, Everyday Aesthetics has been concerned with defining the everyday and its fields by renowned authors like Yuriko Saito (2007; 2017), Thomas Leddy (2012), Kevin Melchionne (2013; 2014), Katya Mandoki (2007; 2020) and Ossi Naukkarinen (2013; 2014; 2017). Later on, it has extended to different topics (environment, city, design) and perspectives, intertwining Anglo-American and European approaches (Arto Haapala, 2005; 2017; Giovanni Matteucci, 2015, Elisabetta Di Stefano, 2017; 2020, Dan-Eugen Ratiu, 2013; 2017, and Barbara Formis 2010). The thematic issue seeks to highlight a turning point in the further articulation of Everyday Aesthetics, making explicit the distinct European traditions (phenomenology, semiology, marxism, hermeneutics, and so forth). For this reason, we invite authors to discuss whether and how the European thinking or Europe-originated perspectives on everyday life can be elaborated to develop the debate on Everyday Aesthetics, showing new methodologies, categories, and fields, taking into account analytical, comparative and historical approaches. The editors of this thematic issue recognize and respect the multilingual tradition in philosophical and applied Everyday Aesthetics. For this occasion, however, we are calling forth contributions in English to engage with the discussion that takes place globally.

●    Submissions may focus on all aspects of Everyday Aesthetics, including, but not limited to the following areas:
●    Methodological questions
●    Everyday Aesthetic categories
●    Comparative approaches to Everyday Aesthetics
●    Everyday Aesthetics and design/fashion/food/city/environment
●    Future of Everyday Aesthetics

Instructions: Research articles are original contributions that initiate a debate, offer a point of view on current trends in aesthetics and the philosophy of art, or introduce a scholarly discussion. Contributions to the Research articles section should not normally exceed 7,500 words (including bibliography). An abstract in English should be added of no more than 150 words. Interviews offer a portrait of the life and work of leading figures in contemporary Everyday Aesthetic debates. Contributions to the Interviews section should not exceed 3500 words and the proposal must be formerly discussed with the editors before submission. Translations include seminal essays in different languages newly translated into English. The translated essays are selected based on their relevance for the development of current discourses in Everyday Aesthetics. Contributions to the Translations section should not normally exceed 7,500 words and must be formerly discussed with the editors.
Language of Contribution: English. The complete formatting instructions are available at: shorturl.at/dLRY8. Submissions that do not comply with these instructions will be returned to the author. All submissions will undergo a double-blind review process.

Submission deadline: July 15, 2021
Publication date: December 2021

Philosophy & Technology
Philosophy of Technology and the French Thought
Submission deadline: 1 August 2021

Guest Editors: Alberto Romele (University of Tuebingen), François-David Sebbah (Paris Nanterre University)

Description: French philosophers have never been very interested in technology, but surely, a French or francophone philosophy of technology indeed exists. Parrocchia (2009) has reconstructed the history of it from Descartes to the present day. More recently, the contributions of prominent contemporary authors in this field have been collected in a single volume (Loeve, Guchet, and Bensaude-Vincent 2018). Numerous French philosophers of technology are experiencing great success on an international scale. Consider, for instance, the case of Gilbert Simondon, whose work is now receiving extensive recognition after a long period of slumber (Bardin, Carrozzini, Rodriguez 2019). One should also consider the important contribution given by French scholars such as Bruno Latour, Michel Callon, and Madeleine Akrich to the development of the science and technology studies (STS). Not to mention the relevance, in France, of the epistemology and history of science and technology as a proper field of study. However, this TC of Philosophy & Technology does not wish to focus on the French philosophy of technology, but rather on the relations between philosophy of technology and the “French thought”. With this term, we express something broader than the so-called “French theory”. Cusset (2008, p. 305) ironically defined French theory as “an American interpretation of French readings of German philosophers.” According to Esposito, who refers to authors such as Derrida, Foucault, Nancy, Lyotard, and Deleuze, the French theory has “neutrality” as its core category. For instance, Derrida’s deconstruction “is neutral, suspended between yes and no, positioned at their point of intersection. It marks its distance both from the paradigm of crisis and that of critique. [...] The distancing (and self-distancing) aims for a certain self-ironic quality that, at a certain point, might inhibit any position, be it negative or affirmative” (Esposito 2015, 109-110). While the expression “French theory” mainly indicates a limited list of heretical, radical, and critical French theorists, mainly philosophers, “French thought” aspires to include all those French authors whose reflections, especially from the second half of the Twentieth century onwards, had a strong impact on the global debate in philosophy, as well as in other human and social sciences. This TC builds on the observation that while most of the representatives of the French thought have not shown any particular interest in technology, an increasing number of scholars is importing ideas and insights from the French thought into the philosophy of technology. Recent publications in this journal engage, for example, with authors such as Foucault (Dorrestijn 2012), Ricoeur (Reijers and Coeckelbergh 2018), Levinas (Bergen and Verbeek 2020), and Bourdieu (Floridi 2019; Romele 2020).
The goal of this TC is twofold. Firstly, it wishes to question the reasons of what appears to be a sort of rehabilitation. In fact, the “empirical turn” (Achterhuis 2001) of the philosophy of technology could be understood as a rejection of the “logocentrism” that characterizes the approach of many representatives of the French thought. Is there now a partial dissatisfaction for some consequences of the empirical turn? Is the French thought offering an alternative means for a critical, both ethical and political, understanding of technology? Secondly, it proposes to investigate new paths that have not been explored yet: authors whose perspectives have not been mobilized, applications of the French thought to new technological fields and objects, and so on.

Instructions: We seek submissions of roughly 8,000 words in length. While the motivating questions should be of a philosophical nature, we welcome high-quality submissions regardless of philosophical tradition or research. Questions addressed may include, but are not limited to:
  • The reasons for the (re)discovery of the French thought in the philosophy of technology;
  • The historical role of the French thought in the philosophy of technology;
  • The role, present or potential, of various authors of the French thought in the contemporary philosophy of technology;
  • The intersection between French philosophy of technology and French thought;
  • New intersections between the French thought and the philosophy of technology;
  • Applications of the French thought to specific technological fields and objects;
  • The risks and limits of the use of the French thought in the philosophy of technology.
