Holiday Food Hampers

2011-11-22T14:16:00.001-06:00

Dear Colleagues,

With the holidays fast-approaching, the University of Manitoba Students´
Union (UMSU) is once again busy preparing for its annual Holiday Hampers
program. Through this program, we provide students in need (and their
families) with a hamper of food over the holiday season. Need for this
service has increased significantly over the years as the program is now
open to students from all three University of Manitoba campuses. Last year,
almost 200 hampers were made and delivered, and we predict similar numbers
for this year. UMSU also coordinates a toy drive, loonie tunes and other
efforts in order to provide toys for children and raise funds to run this
program.

Because of the increased need for this program, UMSU would like to make this
a campus-wide effort by inviting you to "Adopt a Hamper". The
"Adopt-a-Hamper" initiative is where an individual or group commits to
putting together and delivering a food hamper. We will provide the list of
groceries that are required for the hamper, as well as the address to where
the hamper should be delivered. Aside from making an important contribution
by helping those in need during the holidays, it is a fun and rewarding
project to engage in with your colleagues and members of your community.

If you or a group of your colleagues are interested in "Adopting a Hamper",
please respond to myself, Nour Rashid, at the UMSU Office before Friday,
December 2, 2011. We are also looking for financial contributions to help
offset the rising costs of this program. Volunteers for packing and
delivering the hampers are also desperately needed; this will take place
between December 12 and 15.

Any contribution you are able to make to this program would be greatly
appreciated. We hope that through our collective effort we can help make
the holidays a little brighter for everyone!

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Nour Rashid

What is it for something to be possible? And what have possibilities to do with us and the world? Can envisioning them tell us something about what there is and how to act? How do we know that something is possible, and how should we reason about it? Is there a core conception of possibility that runs through all such questions? If not, in what relations do these various conceptions stand?

The graduate students of philosophy at the University of Toronto invite papers exploring these and related issues for their 12th annual graduate conference. We welcome submissions from all fields in philosophy, including those making connections to other disciplines, and especially encourage those engaging the history of philosophy. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

The logic of future contingents in ancient and contemporary philosophy
The concept of potentiality (dunamis) in ancient thought, and its relation to the modern notion of possibility
Developments in medieval theories of modality in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
The relations among various sorts of possibility, e.g., logical, conceptual, epistemic, metaphysical, mathematical, nomological, technological or practical
The relations between various sorts of possibility and various kinds of modal logic, e.g., alethic, doxastic, deontic and so on
Quantified modal logic and the Barcan Formula
Realism and antirealism about possibilia
The existence of unactualized or unactualizable possibilities
The connections between intuitions, evidence, conceivability and possibility in counterfactual or thought experimental reasoning
The relations between skeptical possibilities, justification and what it means 'to know that p'
The conceptual relations between the notions of possibility and probability
The supervenience of the normative on the natural, i.e. the impossibility of an identical world having the same natural but different normative properties
The bearing of the principle of alternate possibilities on free-will and moral responsibility
The best of all possible worlds and Leibniz's philosophical theology
The role of utopias or ideal social arrangements in political and ethical thought
The relation between the possibility of discourse and democratic institutions

Deadline for submission: JANUARY 5, 2012

Please submit through EasyChair. Submissions must be in doc(x) or pdf format and prepared for blind review. Papers should not exceed 4000 words and abstracts should not exceed 300 words. Only one submission per author. Limited travel stipends are available, with special funds for exceptional papers in ancient and medieval philosophy.

Feagin Fail Movies

2011-10-07T14:37:00.000-05:00

We talked in class today about movies that didn't quite conform to Feagin's idea of tragedies as works for which one's positive meta-response outweighs the negative direct-response. _Happiness_, _Requiem for a Dream_ and _White Ribbon_ were mentioned. What other notable cases have you encountered, and how did they have a troubling meta-response. _Freaks_ comes to mind for me.

CHARLES TAYLOR @ The University of Winnipeg

2011-10-05T19:18:00.000-05:00

Charles Taylor @ the University of Winnipeg (take 2)

Due to illness, last years lecture was cancelled. I was just informed that they are trying to make it happen yet.
Here is the info.

Topic: Solidarity and Diversity in a Secular Age: Managing Belief and Unbelief in the Public Square
Date: Wednesday October 19th, 2011
Time: 7:30pm
Location: University of Winnipeg (515 Portage Avenue)
Free Admission. Talk takes place in the U of W’s Eckhardt-Grammate Hall.

Globally renowned Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor will deliver a lecture titled “Solidarity and Diversity in a Secular Age: Managing Belief and Unbelief in the Public Square,” which is based on his 2007 magnum opus, A Secular Age.

Dr. Taylor is Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Philosophy at McGill University. He was the co-chair of the Taylor-Bouchard Commission on Reasonable Accommodation in Quebec. Dr. Taylor was the recipient of the 2008 Kyoto Prize in arts and philosophy and the 2007 Templeton Prize for progress towards research or discoveries about spiritual realities, which included a cash award of US$1.5 million.

Highly respected sociologist of religion Robert Bellah has called A Secular Age “one of the most important books to be written in my lifetime.”

“The change I want to define and trace is one which takes us from a society in which it was virtually impossible not to believe in God, to one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is one human possibility among others,” Dr. Taylor writes in the book.

IHS Summer Seminars on Liberty - Current Issues & Careers

2011-03-13T09:18:00.001-05:00

IHS Summer Seminars on Liberty - Current Issues & Careers
Dear Student Coordinator,

There are three weeks left for students to apply to our Summer Seminars on liberty. We offer 12 weeklong seminars that explore ideas such as free expression and equality under the law and how these ideas apply to topics in history, philosophy, law, and economics.

Our topical seminars focus on political and economic theories such as the invisible hand and their relationship to current issues, including immigration and the size of government. The Exploring Liberty seminar examines the foundations of a free society, while the Liberty & Society seminar delves into the ideas of thinkers such as F.A. Hayek and John Locke.

The career-oriented seminars explain how classical liberal insights apply to careers in public policy, journalism, and academia. The Journalism & a Free Society seminar features acclaimed journalists such as the senior editor of Reason Magazine. Liberty & Leviathan analyzes non-governmental solutions to current policy issues. For future academics, I recommend the research workshop, Scholarship & a Free Society.

View the seminar schedule.

Students can get a preview of seminar lectures by watching full length talks at our new beta lecture site LearnLiberty.org. Many videos feature professors on our seminar faculty.

There is no cost to attend. Participants only cover their travel to one of the college campus locations throughout the United States.

Students who apply by March 15 are eligible to receive a free book such as The Law or Economics in One Lesson. The final application deadline is March 31.

Please tell your students about the Summer Seminars.

Freedom and Freedoms: Uniting State, Responsibility, and Will
The 11th Annual University of Toronto Graduate Conference in Philosophy
April 15-16, 2011 
Keynote Speaker: Philip Pettit, Laurence S. Rockefeller University  
Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University
What is freedom? Is there (or ought there be) a single, unified  
understanding of 'freedom' across all areas of philosophical inquiry,  
or does the meaning (and perhaps also the importance) of 'freedom'  
depend on one's particular philosophical starting point? Why, to what  
extent, and in what respects, should we be concerned with freedom? Who  
has a sufficient degree of freedom and how ought we enhance the  
freedom of those who don't have enough?
The philosophy graduate students of philosophy at the University of  
Toronto invite papers exploring these issues for their 11th annual  
graduate conference. We welcome perspectives from all fields in  
philosophy, as well as those making connections to other disciplines.  
Submissions engaging the history of philosophy are especially  
encouraged. Possible topics include, but are by no means limited to:
- The relationship between metaphysical freedom and moral or political
   responsibility
- The place of free-will with regard to reactive attitudes,  
praiseworthiness or
   determinism
- The relationship between the metaphysical, psychological, ethical, and
   political senses of 'freedom'
- The relationship between freedom (or particular freedoms and democratic
   governance)
- Early modern accounts of the relation between freedom, reasons and  
necessity.
- The relationship between freedom (or particular freedoms) and justice
- The interaction between Kant's accounts of metaphysical and ethical freedom
- Feminist conceptions of freedom, violence, and the other
- How ancient Greek philosophical notions of liberty (eleutheria), the
   voluntary (hekousia), and what's up to us (eph'hemin) shed light on our
   contemporary notion of freedom
The deadline for submissions is JANUARY 22, 2010.
Papers should be sent as an email attachment in either .doc(x) or .pdf  
format to torontophilgradconf@gmail.com. Submitted papers should not  
exceed 4000 words (30 minutes) and must be prepared for blind review.

Publishing Possibility

To further promote the aims
of the conference, the
Journal of the Faculty of
Religious Studies of McGill
University (ARC), has offered
to publish a select number of
high quality papers
showcasing superior insight
and academic potential in
their contribution to the
conference and scholarship
at large.

Our Goal We have chosen a topic that is relevant to the interdisciplinary study
of religion, while providing a reasonably limited guide for discussion. The aim of
the conference is a) to give graduate students an opportunity to present research
papers in front of a sympathetic audience, b) to share and refine our research
with the larger graduate student community, and c) to become better acquainted
with our current and future colleagues. We also hope to foster graduate student
membership in the new and exciting multidisciplinary organization, The Centre for
Research on Religion / Centre de Recherche sur la Religion (CREOR), which aims to
create a broad academic platform to coordinate and support research on the
identities of the main religions of the world, their differences and their common
grounds, and how they contribute to a better understanding of past and present-
day culture, ethics and politics. We are interested in contributions from all
disciplines, including, but not limited to, philosophy, political science, religious
studies, law, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, ritual studies, art history.

The Problematic At first glance, religion might appear antithetical to
revolution. In fact, in the discourse of contemporary Western secularism,
religion is often spoken of as inherently conservative, in that it upholds outdated
principles and ideals, and so, does nothing to substantially disrupt the status quo.
Religions themselves often participate and help to shape this vision, painting
themselves as the last bastions of ‘traditional values’, islands in a sea of change.
A closer look at religious thought and practice reveals that they can and often
have been revolutionary, providing some of the most severe, sustained and
ground-breaking critiques of the prevailing social order. As such, both
contemporary and historical religious movements have, and continue to radically
reshape the social world, whether it be that of the individual practitioner, the
religious community, or society at large.

Though this conference takes as its starting point the Study of Religions, we
welcome and encourage an interdisciplinary approach to the problematic. Thus,
we are looking for papers that address questions such as: How have particular
religious movements challenged established worldviews through (re)education?
How have they provided a space to deconstruct and/or reconstruct identity? Can
religious conversion be thought of as revolutionary? In what ways has religion
involved itself in, or been usurped by revolutionary political movements? What
linguistic and methodological revolutions have been associated with religion?

Updates, downloads + more
rsgs.mcgill.ca/gradconference
We welcome all papers that duly engage with the study of religious
perspectives as revolutionary.

The Philosophy of David Hume

2010-01-06T19:03:00.003-06:00

To one and all:

Just in case anyone is interested, there will be created soon a directed readings course on the philosophy of David Hume for this Winter term. Professor Stack and I will be meeting Mondays and Wednesdays from 12pm - 1:30pm in a location yet to be determined, and all are welcome!

We will be looking at two aspects of Hume's philosophy: his metaphysics and epistemology. In his metaphysics we will be asking, "what is his world view?", "what, according to him, is the nature of reality and the nature of the external world?", "what are his views on causality, i.e. cause and effect?", "what are his views on personal identity?", as well as "what are his views on space and time?". In his epistemology we will be asking "is Hume a skeptic?", and examining what grounds there are for thinking that he is or is not a skeptic.

If you're still interested, take a look at Hume's "A Treatise of Human Nature" Book I Part III. This will be our preliminary reading. To anyone interested in Hume, Empiricism, or Skepticism, you are most welcome!

“Bodies in the World”
3rd Annual Philosophy Graduate Students’ Association Conference

University of Guelph

March 13, 2010

Keynote Speaker: Professor Hasana Sharp (McGill)
“‘Men have nothing less in their power than their tongues’: On spoken passions”

The Philosophy Graduate Students’ Association at the University of Guelph is now accepting paper abstracts for its third annual conference on the theme of “Bodies in the World.” We welcome paper proposals concerning the body and its interactions with its environment from perspectives of perception, mind, identity, sexuality, community and politics, time and space, and normativity and difference. The theme of the body raises questions concerning how to situate and account for the body in our theorizing about the world. How do our worldviews, perceptions of objects, scientific practices, and theories of environment arise out of our embodied experiences, and reflect back into our conceptions of the body?
Questions of the body and embodiment are crucial to philosophical, feminist, legal, psychological, literary, and religious scholarship, as well as to research in cognitive science and artificial intelligence. Moreover, they provide a meta-philosophical opportunity to reflect on the embodied character of our role as thinkers and academics and what that could mean for the future “embodiment of philosophy.” We encourage submissions from multidisciplinary perspectives on the ways we negotiate and theorise the relationship between body and world, widely construed.
Please send abstracts of approximately 600 words prepared for blind review to the PGSA’s conference committee via jmousie@uoguelph.ca by January 29, 2010. For more information, please contact us at the email address listed above or visit our website at .
Once an abstract is accepted we will request a final paper that must be suitable for a 20 minute presentation (approximately 2500 – 3000 words).

Concordia Graduate Philosophy Students’ Association’s
7th Annual Philosophy Conference

April 17 - 18, 2010

Concordia University, Montreal, QC

Keynote Speaker: TBA

What is Philosophy Anyway?:

A Conference on the Method, Object and Purpose of Philosophical Inquiry. It is possible to raise and solve philosophical problems with no very clear idea of what philosophy is, what it is trying to do, and how it can best do it; but no great progress can be made until these questions have been asked and some answer to them given.

Philosophy, moreover, has this peculiarity . . . the theory of philosophy is itself a problem for philosophy; and not only a possible problem, but an inevitable problem, one which sooner or later it is bound to raise.

- R. G. Collingwood, An Essay on Philosophical Method

[P]hilosophy is concerned with each of the sciences . . . [but therefore cannot] be ranged alongside the existing sciences, as a special department of speculative knowledge. . . . There is no field of experience which cannot, in principle, be brought under some form of scientific law, and no type of speculative knowledge about the world which it is, in principle, beyond the power of science to give. . . . We are now in a position to see that the function of philosophy is wholly critical.

- A. J. Ayer, Language, Truth and Logic

Philosophy is thought by some to be the Queen, by others the handmaiden, of the sciences. The purpose of this conference is to address the meta-philosophical question of what exactly philosophy is, how to go about it, why – and whether – it is worth pursuing, or whether such an account of the discipline is even possible. It provides an opportunity for students of philosophy preoccupied with examining the presuppositions of other disciplines to turn a critical eye toward their own, as well as an opportunity for students of other disciplines to reply to philosophers and issue their own challenges in turn.

Submissions are therefore welcome from students of all disciplines addressing the method, object and/or purpose of philosophy and its relation to the other disciplines. Paper topics include but are not limited to the relation of theory to practice, the status and/or possibility of knowledge claims in philosophy, the value of different philosophical methods (e.g. analytic, historical), etc.

Interested authors should submit an abstract electronically as a pdf or Microsoft Word 97-2003 compatible file to Daniel Blaikie, Conference Organizer, at concphil2010@gmail.com.
Abstracts should be between 300-400 words in length and read as concise introductions to the paper, providing the topic, main thesis and outline of the major arguments.
Submissions will be accepted in English and French.
Exceptional undergraduate work will be considered.
The submission deadline is Friday January 8, 2010.
Authors of successful submissions will be contacted by Friday February 5, 2010.
Conference invitees will be expected to present a paper of no more than 4500 words in length at the conference.
The GPSA Conference Committee will select five papers presented at the conference to be published in a special edition of Gnosis, Concordia’s graduate philosophy journal.

Greetings and Call for Papers

2009-08-27T02:42:00.002-05:00

Greetings philosophers!
For any newcomers to U of M philosophy, welcome!
I'd like to announce that on Friday, September 11 there will be a student talk by one of our master's students, Daniel Rabinoff (me). The following week there will be a talk by one of our undergrads, Greg Glatz (day T.B.A).
This fall we're going to try to have a student talk every week, instead of just on the weeks with no guest speaker. And for the first time we'll be encouraging undergrads to give talks (thanks to Greg for stepping up to the plate).
Grad students, you know what's involved in a talk. I encourage you to give one! If you have an old paper lying around that you think is presentable, or you have a new-fangled idea you'd like to bounce off the department, turn it into a presentation.
Undergrads, if you'd like to present some ideas, if you think you've written or thought of something cool lately (for class or otherwise) I encourage you to present as well. We're not a scary bunch, really. If the task of presenting to veteran philosophers seems daunting, you have the option of limiting your audience to only other undergrads (or perhaps only students). If you'd like someone to look over your paper before you present it, we can find a graduate student who will be happy to do that (if none are found, I would be happy to).
If you'd like to book a day for a talk please e-mail (or talk to) one of the philosophy club executives:
Dan Rabinoff - d.rabinoff@gmail.com
Wess Mcpherson - ummcph06@cc.umanitoba.ca

Following the upcoming talk on the 11th there will be an informal meet&greet in the student offices. Everyone's welcome to come.

Also, just a reminder, toad night is every wednesday at the Toad in the Hole pub. People usually arrive around 10:30. Come have a philosophical good-time with beer. Come and find out what your profs REALLY think about things!(not all profs will be there, but some profs will)

For all of the above, tell your friends if they're philosophically inclined and interested.
Dan

On What Grounds What (a glance at a paper)

2009-06-30T00:32:00.003-05:00

Since I'm away and missing this weeks reading group I thought I'd post some comments on the readings here to fish for replies.

The reading is here: http://rsss.anu.edu.au/~schaffer/papers/Ground.pdf

In the paper, Schaffer argues that metaphysics should be concerned with the grounding relation and what things are fundamental. He contrasts this with a view he attributes to Quine, according to which what metaphysics should be concerned with is what things exist.
Very roughly, he seems to have these points in favor of his view:
- Quine's agenda is part of his agenda, so anyone who loves thinking about what exists need not stop doing that on his account.
- His view lends some insight into a plausible way to implement a philosophical methodology much like Quine's methodology.
- There are simple arguments for the existence of lots of abstracta. His view admits of their existence (thus maintaining lots of common sense truths) yet gracefully bears their ontological cost (they exist, but that isn't a cost because they may not be fundamental).
- Grounding is an intuitive primitive relation that we need for metaphysics anyway (to support this he mentions that supervenience cannot bear the weight we put on it, but grounding can do all it does and more).
- Many important existence debates can be better frames as grounding debates.

I thought this paper was excellent and thought provoking. Here's a few points to hopefully start things off.

1) What does this view exclude from metaphysical inquiry?
For that matter, what does quine's view exclude from metaphysical inquiry? Arguably, the answer to both is nothing. Schaffer gives a rough method for posing any interesting question as an existence question, so presumably no question is out of the game for Quine. Since Schaffer must also answer all existence questions no question is out of the game for him either. So what's supposed to be the difference? Is it methodological? Well, he certainly gives reason enough to reject Quine's method, but he seems to want to say more than that. He's rejecting Quine's characterization of the fundamental question of metaphysics. But again, both questions demand the same information. Is it a recommended strategy or style he's suggesting to philosophers? If so, his point may be important, but merely pragmatic. After all, any style or strategy that yields knowledge will do the trick for us philosophers. It could be an important pragmatic point he's making, but at first blush I see two other options:
a) He's making an object level grounding claim: Facts about grounding themselves ground facts about existence. It's a short step from here to say that it's more important to look at facts about grounding then facts about existence, since grounding facts are more fundamental.
b) Schaffer is lending too much importance to grounding, and Quine is lending too much importance to existence. Metaphysics is concerned with everything that exists and all interesting relations they stand in. Grounding is an important one, but one of many. They're views when analyzed are mere recommendations on where we should put our focus.
2) Is this unfair to Meinong?
I'm no Meinongian, but if we're defining a framework in which to do metaphysics all the major players should at least be represented. Meinong can make a distinction Schaffer doesn't allow, in addition to a "non-existence waste bin" he can have a "there are none of waste bin". Quine had the same problem. I don't think Meinong should be outcast as "not doing metaphysics anymore" or anything like that.
3) Does it make all our metaphysical distinctions?
If this point is right, then point (1) is wrong and vice versa, but what the heck, I'm just talking here. It seems that if two distinct types of entities occupy the same place in the grounding game (two types of entities that both ground the same things, and are grounded by the same things), Schaffer is committed to that distinction being uninteresting, or not in the scope of metaphysical inquiry. Here's a couple pairs that could plausibly be like that (and may still be metaphysically interesting):
a) Space - Time
b) Math - Logic
c) Fiction - Myth

I think I'll leave off here.

Film tomorrow

2009-06-03T09:55:00.000-05:00

I wanted to let folks know that the documentary Examined Life, which features interviews with famous philosophers such as Martha Nussbaum and Peter Singer, is playing at the Cinematheque tomorrow, June 4 at 7 pm. I've had a chance to see it and it's pretty good, some interesting stuff, and it's nice to see familiar names in the flesh.

Please let me know if you're interested in coming to dinner with Dave Davies. It's at Fazzo at 6.

Dinner with Fantl

2009-03-10T19:16:00.001-05:00

Please let me know if you're interested in coming to dinner with Jeremy Fantl. Same rules as last time apply. The reservation is at Mise for 6:30.

UW Philosophy Blog

2009-03-09T01:02:00.002-05:00

UW students have a philosophy blog here! It appears to mostly be for announcements, but it would be great if some of us could start posting arguments or other philosophically interesting things so that they have more of a reason to check out our blog and maybe begin a dialogue.

Dinner With Levine

2009-03-04T15:02:00.002-06:00

Please let me know if you're interested in coming to dinner with Levine this Friday. Please do let me know in advance and don't expect to just be able to tag along last minute since reservation policy is less flexible this time than it has been in the past. Also, we're changing how we do student subsidies. Instead of fully subsidizing the first couple of students who indicate interest, the department will pay for the equivalent of two meals and the remaining students' bills will be split among all students. That way everyone gets some subsidy action!

This is the letter i received from the guy who is coordinating the conference.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to announce the speaker of the conference this year will be Jennifer Woodrow from University of Alberta. The conference dates are set for the 21st and 22nd. Professor Woodrow will be presenting a paper on Luck Control and Epistemic Responsibility.

If you could return an e-mail to me letting me know that your departments have recieved the notice about the conference that would be very useful. Also, if your departments or clubs intend to come an RSVP would be very helpful and probably needed in by the end of the month.

There will be a registration fee for the conference to help pay for it and to supply lovely trays of snack and lunch food as well as some refreshments. This will likely be between $10-$15 depending on the attendance (this is another thing RSVP would help me to figure out)

Last thing of all to note is that there is still plenty of room for papers to be presented so if you have students interested in presentation then please remind them or suggest to them to contact me at either this e-mail address cliffbaum@hotmail.com or cliff.baum@uleth.ca Papers are still welcomed!

Anyways, that is the update on the conference. I hope all is well with the rest of you and hope to hear from you soon.

Cliff

UM Info-Days, Upcoming Churchland Meet and Greet

2009-01-31T16:51:00.003-06:00

Hey folks:

Please remember to RSVP Laurie if you plan on attending coffee with the Churchlands Wednesday morning (10:30). As of Friday, space remains for at least a dozen students.

Also, if anyone is able to take a shift at UM Info days over reading week, could you please let Laurie know. She has the details, but the days are the 18th and 19th. Last year, Native Studies had a Playmobil diorama that seemed to suck in the kids. If anyone wants to donate their Chisholm nugget for the week, we could probably put together something even more impressive.

Philosophy Club Schedule: Update

2009-01-29T22:27:00.002-06:00

Hey all:

It looks like we have two remaining Fridays this term for student presentations: February 6, and the last Friday of the term. I think I'll give a talk on the 6th, and John Dyck is interested in taking the last Friday.

Most Thursday afternoons are also free, and it would be easy to arrange a venue and refreshments for a talk or two on any of these days. Several students have shown interest in presenting papers, so please get in touch with either Dan, Wes or myself and we can get things organized.

Of course, undergraduate presentations are encouraged as well!!!
