Founded in Germany in 1976, it is now a global network for all women in philosophy. Given its strong tradition, IAPh covers all philosophical disciplines, including feminist philosophy as well as the history of women philosophers. After holding conferences in such venues as Monash University, Melbourne (2016) and Tsinghua University, Beijing (2018), the 18th world congress of IAPh will be hosted by the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists (HWPS) at Paderborn University, Germany. As the director of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists and the Head of the Teaching and Research Area EcoTechGender, I feel very much honored to host this conference. Initially planned as the IAPH’ biannual symposia, this conference had to be postponed due to the Covid pandemic. As the pandemic is still a threat to many of us, it will take place as a hybrid event. In times of great global concern, rapid technological progress, climate change, and economic turmoil, we invite women’s contributions to present their ideas concerning the future, while taking a critical look back into the past. Women’s voices have been suppressed in the past few centuries in nearly all countries and cultures of the world, and to differing extents. To end this societal contradiction is a considerable challenge and it demands that women raise their voices. 2 Women, though excluded for too long, are nevertheless not without responsibility. Now is the time to present their ideas in the relevant fields related to the human condition and to contribute to shaping the future. With more than one hundred and sixty contributors from all parts of the world, from Israel and the Arab world, from China and the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia, India, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Uganda, Netherlands, Latvia, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Finland, Taiwan, Greece, Italy, France, United Kingdom and Germany and about twenty keynotes from China, Latin Amerika, Ukraine, South Africa, Japan, Iran, United States and more, we dare to take the first steps to a new understanding of how to shape this future such that it might shape a better world for all. As the conference organizer, I am indebted to the board of the IAPH for entrusting me with the Organization of this conference. I am grateful to the Center’s Team for its support in sharing with me the idea and work in promoting the ideas of women philosophers and granting me their support to organize this conference. I am especially grateful to Felix Grewe, scholar in the project EcoTechGender, and would like to thank him for his patience, skills and circumspection with which he has organized this conference. Last but not least, I am grateful to all the speakers who bring in their ideas, who take part, and demonstrate how this world can be united in thought, who care about the world we live in. I am also grateful to all the participants who share their time and their attention in listening to us all. Without them, nothing happens and nothing changes. Let’s take this conference as a first step towards enhancing the intellectual global power of women philosophers to shape the future by rethinking the past.

  • Ascribing Sexual Orientations
    Atlantis Vol. 13 No.2 Spring/Printemps 1988 Ascribing Sexual Orientations Christine Overall Queen's University ABSTRACT The goal of this paper is to suggest a somewhat different approach to the contemporary discussion of human sexual orientations. Instead of examining the nature of sexual orientation itself, it discusses the meanings of ascriptions of sexual orientation. (The discussion is confined to cases where the subject of ascription is female.) The paper begins with a survey of some prevalent ways of interpreting ascriptions of sexual orientation. It then comments on the variations in their meanings, and considers what the speaker is doing when uttering such an ascription. It concludes with some comments about an apparently anomalous sexual orientation, bisexuality. My interest in the ascription of sexual orientations what it is to be a lesbian (let alone a lesbian bisexual), and arose, in part, from three observations which I made over how one is to know whether any person (including one• the course of the past year.1 First, in my investigations of self) is one. ethical issues pertaining to reproductive technology, it became very clear that access to such processes as in vitro I was troubled, then, by both ontological and epistemo- fertilization and artificial insemination by donor is regu• logical problems: What is it to be lesbian or heterosexual lated and limited by means of the physician-enforced stip• or bisexual?

  • DANCING with the ENEMY Jane S. Sutton* & Nkanyiso Mpofu
    FIGURING RECONCILIATION: DANCING WITH THE ENEMY Jane S. Sutton* & Nkanyiso Mpofu** This essay is about fi guring “argument as dance” and one way of conceiving how to live or embody argument as such. Concretely, it displays “argument as war” alongside a road in Mississippi after a white man shoots down James Meredith as he asserts his legal right to vote. And it tells “how to” perceive the shooting as dance by turning fi rstly to the performance of dance fi gured in the beginnings of rhetoric and then secondly, setting forth demystifi ed methods and strategies of body-speech fi guring argument as dance, rather than as war, through performances of Nelson Mandela. More generally, it explores a new meaning or experience of rhetoric by explicitly conjoining two historical times, two geographies, two speakers, enemies and dancers, that are inextricably interconnected. Using a combination of description and analysis, the fi rst is a full display of three photographs picturing argument as war. The whole picture serves as a descriptive compass 2007 CanLIIDocs 14 or guide for making our way analytically through argument as war and into dance language and behavior and their interconnections to argument. The second is a retrospective discussion of the background, dancing/argumentative practices, what is called “blinking on the behalf of the enemy,” of Nelson Mandela. Overall, the strategy of reticulating political times, chronology and political spaces, geography on the one hand, and argument as war and argument as dance on the other hand is to reconcile confl icting measures and to produce a performance practice (of rhetoric) of which there is no canon.

  • Deification As a Core Theme in Julius Evola's Esoteric Works
    Correspondences 6, no. 2 (2018) 1–27 ISSN: 2053-7158 (Online) correspondencesjournal.com Deification as a Core Theme in Julius Evola’s Esoteric Works Hans Thomas Hakl E-mail: [email protected] Abstract “Deification” or “Becoming God” is used in this article as a central hermeneutical key to understand Julius Evola’s (1898–1974) philosophic and, most importantly, esoteric work. Although the concept of deification can be found in his early work, it naturally developed itself and underwent many transfigurations, for which he employed different forms of symbolic systems. One cornerstone of his intellectual buildings has remained constant, however: the desperate endeavor to transcend the limitations of the human being. To find and teach “practical” paths to reach this goal became the supreme aim in his works. Keywords Julius Evola; deification; magic; Tantrism; salvation; spiritual development © 2018 Hans Thomas Hakl This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. 2 Hakl / Correspondences 6, no. 2 (2018) 1–27 The Early Years Evola’s efforts to overcome the ordinary conditions of life can be detected when he was still a young man. This soon led him to an exploration of transcendental realms not bound by material limits. He remarked in his “spiritual autobi- ography,” written in 1963, that his decisive impulse toward transcendence “manifested itself” in him “from his earliest years.”1 This can also be clearly seen in his artistic period, from 1915 to 1923, when

  • Agency and First-Person Authority by Matthew Thomas Parrott A
    Agency and First-Person Authority By Matthew Thomas Parrott A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barry Stroud, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Warren, Co-Chair Professor Alison Gopnik Spring 2011 © 2011 Copyright Matthew Thomas Parrott All rights reserved Abstract Agency and First-Person Authority By Matthew Thomas Parrott Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy University of California, Berkeley Professor Barry Stroud, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Warren, Co-Chair Ordinarily when someone tells us about her psychological states, we presume that she is right. By deferring to her in this way, we treat her as a kind of authority on her own psychological life. Although a person usually has this authority, she lacks it whenever she takes a more detached, indirect, or third-personal point of view toward her psychological states. We see this, for example, when she learns about a belief or desire from a friend or therapist. For this reason an adequate account of the phenomenon of "first-person authority" must explain why we have it only for some but not all of our psychological states. Most philosophers believe first-person authority is an epistemic phenomenon, consisting in each of us being better situated to know about our own psychological states than anyone else. Against all such epistemic views, I argue that, because they base their accounts on epistemic privileges that are in principle available to anyone, they cannot capture the exclusively first-personal character of our authority.

  • The Two Souls of Schopenhauerism: Analysis of New Historiographical Categories
    UFSM Voluntas: Revista Internacional de Filosofia DOI: 10.5902/2179378661962 Santa Maria, v.11, n. 3, p. 207-223 ISSN 2179-3786 Fluxo contínuo Submissão: 25/10/2020 Aprovação: 06/01/2021 Publicação: 15/01/2021 The two souls of Schopenhauerism: analysis of new historiographical categories Le due anime dello schopenhauerismo: analisi delle nuove categorie storiografiche Giulia Miglietta* Abstract: The Wirkungsgeschichte of Schopenhauerism is a complex mixture of events, encounters, influences and transformations. In order to orient oneself concerning such an articulated phenomenon, it is necessary to have valid hermeneutical tools at hand. In this contribution, I propose a reading of the Wirkungsgeschichte of Schopenhauerism through new and effective historiographical categories that resulted from the research conducted by the Interdepartmental Research Centre on Arthur Schopenhauer and his School at the University of Salento. On the one hand, I will refer to Domenico Fazio’s studies on the Schopenhauer-Schule and, on the other, to Fabio Ciracì’s research on the reception of Schopenhauer’s philosophy in Italy. This approach will reveal how the formulation of the so- called “two souls” of Schopenhauerism, the romantic and the illuministic, allows us to unravel the multifaceted panorama of the Wirkungsgeschichte of Schopenhauerian philosophy, in line with the subdivision within the Schopenhauer-Schule of metaphysical and heretical thinkers. Keyword: Schopenhauer; Wirkungsgeschichte; Illuministic soul; Romantic soul; Historiographical categories.

  • A History of Women's Political Thought in Europe, 1400-1700
    This page intentionally left blank A HISTORY OF WOMEN’S POLITICAL THOUGHT IN EUROPE, 1400–1700 This ground-breaking book surveys the history of women’s political thought in Europe, from the late medieval period to the early modern era. The authors examine women’s ideas about topics such as the basis of political authority, the best form of political organisation, justifications of obedience and resistance, and concepts of liberty, toleration, sociability, equality, and self-preservation. Women’s ideas concerning relations between the sexes are discussed in tandem with their broader political outlooks; the authors demonstrate that the development of a distinctively sexual politics is reflected in women’s critiques of marriage, the double standard, and women’s exclusion from government. Women writers are also shown to be indebted to the ancient idea of political virtue, and to be acutely aware of being part of a long tradition of female political commentary. This work will be of tremendous interest to political philosophers, historians of ideas, and feminist scholars alike. jacqueline broad is an Honorary Research Associate in the School of Philosophy and Bioethics at Monash University.
