everywhere, all the time, and they play an essential role in how we navigate

examples like it have been taken by many philosophers and cognitive scientists
to illustrate the extended mind hypothesis (hereafter EMH).

Philosophy Workshop- Terry Pinkard:Freedom and Necessity. And Music
Date: February 9, 2012 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Freedom and Necessity. And MusicIn his lectures on art in 1823, Hegel claimed that the elemental force of great music has to do with the way we hear in it the struggle between freedom and necessity. It’s a nice turn of phrase, but what would it mean in Hegel’s terms and in general for us to “hear” such a thing? To get a grip on Hegel’s turn on phrase requires us to understand how Hegel thinks that art is not a fully conceptual grasp of what it is to be a ‘minded” (geistig) creature, but it is al...

Mogens Laerke : Moderation or Audacity? Kant, Spinoza and Leibniz and the Enlightenment
Date: February 10, 2012 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
In his 1784 contribution to a Berlinische Monatsschrift essay contest on the topic “What is Enlightenment?,” Immanuel Kant famously answered the question by arguing that the Enlightenment is, as Michel Foucault has later put it, a certain “attitude” expressed by the slogan “Have the audacity to know!” This paper attempts to ask Leibniz the question that Kant replied to in 1784. If, according to Kant, the enlightened philosopher is characterized by audacity and courage to think for himself, what...

Philosophy Workshop-Damian Caluori:Friendship in Kallipolis
Date: February 23, 2012 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Friendship in KallipolisDamian
CaluoriThe scholarly
discussion of Plato’s conception of friendship has mostly focused on one
dialogue, the Lysis, where Plato considers a notion of loving
friendship, which is related to that of eros, and like the latter
constituted by desire. In my paper I will argue that there are good reasons to
assume that for Plato eros cannot form the foundation of
friendship. This does not imply, however, that there is no such thing as
Platonic friendship. I shall a...

Philosophy Workshop-Margaret Urban Walker:The Expressive Burden of Reparations: Why Compensation Can’t Be Enough
Date: March 1, 2012 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
I propose a
novel account of the essentially expressive nature of reparations. My account
is descriptive of new practices of reparations that have emerged in the past
half-century, and it provides normative
guidance on conditions of success for reparative attempts. My account
attributes to reparative attempts a dual expressive function: a communicative
function that requires the gesture to carry a vindicatory message to victims;
and an exemplifying function that requires the gesture to m...
