  • WORLD PHILOSOPHY DAY 2020 World Philosophy
    WORLD PHILOSOPHY DAY 2020 World Philosophy Day (JMP) 2020 will take place on Thursday, November 19. The celebration spans three days, November 18, 19 and 20. The main components are as follows: ♦ On November 19 and 20, four high-level roundtables will be organized, with eminent philoso- phers from all regions, who will be invited to reflect on the meaning of the current pandemic from different tools and philosophical perspectives. The axes of discussion will be: fear, in relation to trust, and therefore risk; being-together, in relation to solidarity; health, in relation to illness, but also to well-being; and finally the language of the pandemic. The round tables will be spread over the two days to ensure worldwide coverage of time zones, taking into account the complementarity with other events, and in particular with the Night of Philosophy redesigned in virtual format. ♦ On November 19 and 20, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the 19th International Meetings on New Philo- sophical Practices (NPP) will be held, in cooperation with the UNESCO Chair on Philosophical Practices with Children at the University of Nantes. Detailed program and connection links: https://philo.sciencesconf.org/data/pages/Programme_NPP_version_finale_10.pdf ♦ On November 18 and 19, a series of webinars organized by the Network of Latin American Women Philosophers (Reddem) will take place. ♦ On November 19, a special World Philosophy Day Master Class will be organized online with young people on the use of critical thinking in the fight against racism. ♦ On November 19, the French National Commission for UNESCO is offering an online event proposed by around the book "Covid-19, towards a new world? », Under the direction of Christian Byk in collaboration with Bénédicte Boyer-Bévière and Damien Aftassi.

  • The Divinity of Conscience: Forgiveness, Religion, and the Politics of Secularity in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit by Andrew
    The Divinity of Conscience: Forgiveness, Religion, and the Politics of Secularity in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit by Andrew Tebbutt A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Andrew Tebbutt 2020 ii The Divinity of Conscience: Forgiveness, Religion, and the Politics of Secularity in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit Andrew Tebbutt, Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto, 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of forgiveness and religion in G.W.F. Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. I argue that religion and forgiveness can be profitably understood as parallel communicative practices through which a community affirms its sense of that which has “absolute” value. Religion, as Hegel conceives of it, is a communicative practice that gives expression to the basic “terms of membership” through which individuals both affirm and are affirmed with respect to their fundamental belonging to a community. Such terms are likewise invoked in the practice of forgiveness, for Hegel, insofar as forgiveness activates a community’s infinite capacity to acknowledge and incorporate the irreducibly finite nature of human individuality and agency. In view of this similarity, Hegel’s philosophy of religion offers productive resources for theorizing religions as “socio-cultural idioms of forgiving,” and, by extension, for rethinking the nature of interreligious dialogue in the public sphere. Just as no single act of forgiveness could ever wholly or finally resolve the inherently transgressive potential of human action, so too is religious expression subject to ongoing critique and transformation, owing to the necessarily determinate and particular ways in which the idiomatic language of religion expresses “the absolute.” This “absolutely idiomatic” nature of religious discourse, I argue, offers a promising starting point for addressing the political challenge surrounding religious differences.

  • Disciplinarity in a Digital Age
    DISCIPLINARITY IN A DIGITAL AGE 10 – 12 January 2019 DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DELHI AN INTERNATION AL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE (in collaboration with ICSSR & Institut Français, Delhi) SENATE HALL First Floor, Main Building Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Hauz Khas – 110016 Image: Jeppe Hein, “A New World.” Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash Concept Note The evolution of disciplines under the influence of digitization is a matter that demands urgent scrutiny. Both the sciences and humanities are confronted with ‘data’ poised for manipulation. While digitization can enrich the tools and methods available for investigation, it also rekindles dreams of a singular methodology universal enough to consolidate an unwieldy multiplicity of disciplines. But this promise of digitization must echo with the noise of ‘science wars’ in the nineties. That flashpoint was a sure betrayal of the territorial instincts that define academic departments thereby obscuring the real history of disciplines as they individuate out of the ferment of interacting discourses. As the Sokal affair saw the publication of a hoax article in a leading cultural studies journal, the parodical appropriation of scientific content was an occasion to ask if editorial ideology could ever qualify as a 'method'. All in all, digitization provides for a moment to reconsider both the future and the history of disciplines today. Indeed it was the Sokal affair that also precipitated a growing interest in philosophy of science displayed by the absorption of Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend in discussions of postmodernism. Postmodernism itself is a condition mediated by the emergence of digital media.

  • Gandhi and Philosophy
    112 Book Review Gandhi and Philosophy: On Theological Anti-Politics edited by Shaj Mohan and Divya Dwivedi, published by Bloomsbury Academic, NY, 2019 Amita Valmiki Volume 1 : Issue 06, October 2020 Volume Dept. of Philosophy, Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Autonomous), Mumbai [email protected] Sambhāṣaṇ 113 “If Gandhi’s enormously powerful and successful strategy of non-violent resistance had met with a different enemy – Stalin’s Russia, Hitler’s Germany, even prewar Japan, instead of England, the outcome would not have been decolonization but massacre and submission.” - Hannah Arendt in her essay On Violence (Gangeya 2016, 79) The book in Introduction (that carries on in the following chapter 1, Hypophysics) seems to be a dialogue between philosophers on Gandhi, mainly Western – Kant, Maurice Blanchot, Hannah Arendt (though in her brief remark on Gandhi in her essay On Violence), Deleuze, Derrida, Balibar, Badiou, Zizek and many others with regard to Gandhi. These thinkers have categorically and critically approached Gandhi’s reasonings on Non-violence, Satyagraha and Swaraj. But the seeming paradox in fact ennoble Gandhi’s stature to the readers. Gandhi was counter to speed; but, was in fact, perpetually dynamic in his thoughts. He had a persuasive weapon of non-violence and therefore Gandhi authenticated the law of hypophysics. As mentioned by the author(s), “Gandhi’s engagement with speed as the measure of value is outside the ambit of metaphysics, and yet, it is all around us in the talk about
