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.

This series of events began with the theme of foundations in the context of automated theorem proving: What are the chances and problems of the act of formalization in the context of mathematics? It is often said, that all of mathematics can be reduced to first-order logic and set theory. The derivation indicator view says that all proofs stand in some relation to a derivation, i.e. a mechanically checkable syntactical objects following fixed rules, that would not have any gaps. For a long time this was a mere hope. There may have been proofs of concepts from early logicists but derivation never played a big role in mathematical practice. The modern computer might change this. Interactive and automated theorem provers promise to make the construction of a justification without any gaps feasible for complex mathematics. Is this promise justified? Will the future of mathematical practice shift to more formal mathematics? Should it? We hope to illuminate such questions and focus especially on what these developments mean for the future of the curriculum of university students. After three years on the topic, we have realized that this context is too narrow to understand formalization and thus we have we added a yearly theme (although not all talks are necessarily aligned with it). This year we focus on historical perspectives: How were different formal systems implemented? How much choice was there? Is our current view an ironed out history, written by the winner of the debate?

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.

Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan

The Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL) is a series of events initiated by a group of Asian logicians. Its first installment took place at JAIST in Japan in 2012. The primary goal of the workshop is to promote awareness, understanding, and collaborations among researchers in philosophical logic and related fields. It emphasizes the interaction between philosophical ideas and formal theories. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, non-classical logics, philosophical logics, algebraic logic, as well as their applications in computer science, cognitive science, and social sciences.

The demand/struggle for racial equality, identity, and justice by populations racialized as Black (and other people of color) in the United States and anywhere around the world remain issues of pressing philosophical concern. The struggle for equality and justice requires not only theoretical articulations but also practical accounts upon which to make the demands. Thus, the contributions of the Black race and continent to global civilization need exploration, showcasing, and articulations because they are neither fully appreciated nor given due global recognition. Whether those contributions come from Black Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, or elsewhere, their historical understanding and relevance to contemporary concerns must be adamantly asserted to avoid further marginalization. This conference focuses on the philosophy of the black experience throughout human history to explore the significant contributions and denials of the black race in world civilization. The conference is a philosophical interrogation of black experience in global and national affairs; hence it welcomes papers in all areas of intellectualism that articulate the philosophy of the black experience in any area of human endeavors.

It is particularly auspicious for the 25th World Congress of Philosophy to take place in Rome. Few other places would as strikingly illustrate the theme of the Congress, “Philosophy across Boundaries”, as this city does through its unique historical heritage. Rome is not just a spectacular setting: it embodies a distinctive cosmopolitan ideal, the spirit of a civilization that remarkably chose the story of a refugee, Aeneas, drifting on a raft in the Mediterranean to seek asylum on the coast of Latium, as its founding myth.

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.

This Dagstuhl Seminar provides a unique opportunity for discussing the discrepancy between human and AI generalization mechanisms and crafting a vision on how to align the two streams in a compelling and promising way that combines the strengths of both. To ensure an effective seminar, we aim to bring together cross-disciplinary perspectives across computer and cognitive science fields. Our participants will include experts in Interpretable Machine Learning, Neuro-Symbolic Reasoning, Explainable AI, Commonsense Reasoning, Case-based Reasoning, Analogy, Cognitive Science, and Human-Computer Interaction. Specifically, the seminar will focus on the following questions: How can cognitive mechanisms in people be used to inspire generalization in AI? What Machine Learning methods hold the promise to enable such reasoning mechanisms? What is the role of data and knowledge engineering for AI and human generalization? How can we design and model human-AI teams that can benefit from their complementary generalization capabilities? How can we evaluate generalization in humans and AI in a satisfactory manner?

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.

Derrida Today is a home and space for discussion about the works of Derrida and their relevance today. The aim is to see Derrida’s work in its broadest possible context and to argue for its keen and enduring relevance to our present intellectual, cultural, ethical and political situations.

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.
