The American Society of Islamic Philosophy and Theology (ASIPT)

Our annual Islamic Philosophy Conference was initiated at Harvard University (April, 2019) with participants coming from around the globe to present papers and engage in discussion over two days. The conferences are open to all interested scholars working on Islamic Philosophy and Theology. In addition to a general call for papers, conferences will include specialized panels organized by theme over the next three years (2023–25)

Theme: “After Mustafa Sabri: What Does a Robust Kalam Engagement with Contemporary Philosophy and Theology Look Like Today?” This year’s conference aims to continue to explore the interface between Islamic Philosophy and Theology and contemporary issues.

These seminars mix the best aspects of a philosophy conference and a classical language school. The program combines cultural activities and ancient Greek language study with academic presentations and discussion of Platonic texts. Participants study on the picturesque island of Ortigia, where they can visit ancient Greek temples, cycle in the sunshine or swim in the sea, and experience the Mediterranean lifestyle.

We are pleased to announce the first South American Logic Meeting (SALOME 1), to be held in Cusco, Peru. This event will take place from 12th to 15th January 2024 at the National University of Saint Anthony the Abbot in Cuzco (UNSAAC) and will bring together esteemed researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts of logic (broadly understood) from South America and other parts of the world. The South American Logic Society, responsible for the South American Journal of Logic (SAJL), aims to foster collaboration, exchange of ideas, and the advancement of logic in South America. SALOME 1 is an exceptional opportunity to establish a strong foundation for this society and to showcase the collective achievements and potential of the South American logic community.

Many debates over policing are, at their heart, questions about ethics, justice, and politics. What are the professional and moral responsibilities of police in a democratic society? What rules should govern officers in their use of force and other aspects of their jobs? How do current forms of policing contribute to systemic injustice? What does accountability mean in the context of policing? What are the most promising strategies for promoting public safety consistent with justice—and do they include police? Philosophy, in conversation with other fields, offers tools to advance our understanding of policing and what role it should play. The Policing, Policy, and Philosophy Initiative (3PI) will explore these and related questions at its inaugural symposium on March 1, 2024. This virtual event aims to showcase research at the intersection of policing and philosophy, with particular interest in work that has direct relevance to policy.

The arena of science and values has grown in size and prominence in recent philosophy of science. But debates about the role of science remain fairly limited in terms of both the scope of topics discussed and the range of views expressed. The aim of this conference is to broaden the horizons of work on science and values, partly by making room for new (or new versions of older) ideas and partly by getting it to interact with other parts of philosophy. In this spirit we invite papers which expand the boundaries of current work in the field, and/or that argue for views that are outside of the current mainstream.

Back to the Things Themselves! (BTTTT!) is an annual attempt to put aside the more conventional scholarly practice of textual exegesis/critique, and return to the lived world to divine the essential structures of experience through careful phenomenological description. In short, BTTTT!‘s main aim is to “do phenomenology”—that is, to generate original descriptions of phenomena in the lifeworld. BTTTT! is part of the Society for Existential and Phenomenological Theory and Culture (EPTC), which meets annually and concurrently with the Canadian Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Likely pathways from the inanimate to the animate world involve a transition that can be thought of as the emergence of information in molecular systems. Before this transition, heteropolymers already exist, but the sequence information of a polymer does not persist beyond the lifetime of the polymer. During the transition, information becomes a separate dynamical entity, which lives and changes over longer timescales than its carrier molecules. This transition does not necessarily require the existence of a full-fledged replication machinery, such as polymerase enzymes that copy informational polymers. Instead, the interplay of simpler reactions can create strong correlations in pools of informational polymers, which can also decouple the timescales of the informational dynamics from those of the polymer dynamics. This interplay is only beginning to be studied, experimentally as well as computationally and theoretically, such that many conceptual and methodological questions are currently open. The central aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds, in order to attack these questions together.

Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik

Institute 2024 has an overarching focus on Next-Generation Human-Centred AI and Cognitive Technologies; its technical programme addresses the formal & cognitive foundations for human-centred computing (for AI), and the human-centred design, development, and usability of cognitive technologies aimed at human-in-the-loop assistance & empowerment in decision-making, planning, creative-technical problem-solving, and automation. Application areas to be addressed in the institute include autonomous vehicles, cognitive robotics, social robotics, cognitive/creative design assistance technologies (e.g., architecture and built environment design, visuo-auditory narrative media design), clinical diagnostics, technology-assisted education/learning.
