SUMMARY:Global Philosophy Research Interest Group Talk (Mohammed Rustom\, Carleton)
DESCRIPTION:The Global Philosophy Research Interest Group is delighted to welcome as guest speaker Mohammed Rustom\, a professor of Islamic Thought and Global Philosophy at Carleton University and the director of the Carleton Centre for the Study of Islam. His publications include Inrushes of the Heart: The Sufi Philosophy of ‘Ayn al-Qudat (SUNY Press\, 2023)\, Global Philosophy: A Sourcebook (Equinox\, in press)\, and Why Read Mulla Sadra Today? (Cambridge University Press\, forthcoming). \nHe has been the recipient of a number of academic distinctions and prizes such as the Ibn ‘Arabi Society Latina’s Tarjuman Prize\, a Templeton Foundation Global Philosophy of Religion grant\, the Institute of Ismaili Studies’ Annemarie Schimmel Fellowship\, Iran’s World Prize for the Book of the Year\, and Senior Fellowships courtesy of the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute’s Library of Arabic Literature and Humanities Research Fellowship programs. \nAn internationally recognized scholar whose works have been translated into more than 10 languages\, Dr. Rustom’s research focuses on Islamic philosophy\, Arabic and Persian Sufi literature\, Quranic exegesis\, translation theory\, and cross-cultural philosophy. \nThis is an in-person event\, but if you need to join the livestream\, please follow the Zoom link. \nPasscode: 429871 \nTalk Title\nEvil\, Suffering\, and the Art of Listening in Islamic Philosophy \nTalk Abstract\nDrawing on the rich resources of the Islamic philosophical tradition (past and present)\, this lecture will put forward an anthropocentric conception of evil and suffering by arguing that the cultivation of human attentiveness and listening are the most meaningful kinds of “responses” to the problem of evil. The lecture will then shift gears and examine the practical dimensions of the art of listening by presenting a dialogue between a philosophy graduate student and a certain sage whom the student mysteriously chances upon one morning on his way to class. The student poses several challenging questions to the sage on the nature of evil and suffering\, and the sage responds point by point\, leaving the questioner with much to think about concerning his own epistemic resources and categories of interpretation. \nThe Global Philosophy Research Interest Group explores the benefits of drawing on diverse traditions of thought in approaching philosophical questions. These include novel insights into familiar problems\, new questions and research directions\, and fresh methodologies. We work to deprovincialize and decolonize all aspects of philosophy in the academy. The group currently has strengths in Sanskrit philosophy\, and Chinese philosophy\, Indian philosophy in English\, and classical Islamic philosophy.

SUMMARY:Continental Philosophy Research Group Talk (G. Anthony Bruno\, Royal Holloway)
DESCRIPTION:The Continental Philosophy Research Group is pleased to welcome as guest speaker G. Anthony Bruno\, an assistant professor of Philosophy at Royal Holloway University of London. Dr. Bruno research focuses on metaphysics and epistemology in early modern\, Kantian\, and post-Kantian philosophy. His first book\, Facticity and the Fate of Reason After Kant\, is now under contract with Oxford University Press\, and he has begun work on his second book\, which will provide a history of the origin\, transformation\, and continuing relevance of the concept of nihilism. \nTalk Title \nNeither a Witness Nor a Wave: Jacobi\, Fichte\, and Husserl on Nihilism \nTalk Abstract \nIn 1917\, Husserl declares his affinity with the German idealists\, saying that what he regards as “great and eternally important in German idealism” is that it shares with his own phenomenological system both a “common adversary”\, namely\, “naturalism”\, and a common advantage\, namely\, the “same gods” that each system “serve[s]” in its “own way”. What is the naturalism of the “era” to which Husserl thinks German idealism and phenomenology belong? In their “battle” against this foe\, which gods do they jointly serve? And what makes serving these gods “indispensable for the advancement of philosophy”? I will answer these questions by defending three claims. First\, the naturalistic adversary that German idealism and phenomenology face is in fact nihilism. Second\, the gods that they serve in their battle against nihilism are human freedom and purposiveness—the very things that nihilism threatens. Third\, they serve freedom and purposiveness as the conditions of doing\, and hence of advancing\, philosophy. \nAbout the Continental Philosophy Group \nOne of six departmental research interest groups\, the Continental Philosophy Group works in the traditions of textual interpretation of human consciousness\, phenomenology\, and post-structuralist critical theory\, among other related traditions of thought.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Maṇḍana on Various Types of Commands
DESCRIPTION:In this weeklong workshop\, we will read\, translate\, and discuss Maṇḍana’s Vidhiviveka (“Discernment about Commands”)\, chapter 15. The key issue of the chapter is the Mīmāṃsā claim that there are several types of prescriptions (the originative prescription is the first one enjoining one to do something\, the applicatory one adds hierarchically linked subsidiaries to the main one and so on). How can this be possible within Maṇḍana’s interpretation of commands as just statement of what is beneficial to one’s goals? \nParticipants: Elliot Stern (Philadelphia)\, Lawrence McCrea (Cornell)\, Andrew Ollett (Chicago)\, Parimal Patil (Harvard)\, Akane Saito (Austrian Academy of Sciences)\, Elisa Freschi (Toronto)\, and many others. We will also read Vācaspati’s commentary (Nyāyakaṇikā) on chapter 15 of the Vidhiviveka.  \nIf you would like to join\, please contact Elisa Freschi\, and she will share the working version of the edition with you. \nThis is an in-person workshop\, but if you would like to join online\, please use this Zoom link. Passcode: 951779 \n
