SUMMARY:Global Philosophy Roundtable (Mohammed Rustom\, Carleton)
DESCRIPTION:The Global Philosophy Research Interest Group is delighted to welcome Mohammed Rustom as part of a roundtable on the question: What would make it possible for you to include more global philosophy materials in your classes? \nThe roundtable is occasioned by the publication of Mohammed Rustom’s A Sourcebook in Global Philosophy (2025)\, which includes many new translations of primary texts from global traditions that will be useful for teaching. The UofT library has ordered the online version of the book\, and we hope it will become available for teaching soon. \nRustom will be with us to introduce the book. We will begin with short presentations by Don Ainslie\, C. Darlymple‑Fraser\, Katharine O’Reilly\, Reza Hadisi\, and Elisa Freschi\, followed by a response from Rustom and an open discussion. \nZoom Link: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/82013298079 \nMeeting ID: 820 1329 8079\n\nPasscode: 243430 \n\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:History of Philosophy Research Group Talk (Amy Schmitter\, Alberta)
DESCRIPTION:The History of Modern Philosophy Group is pleased to welcome as its guest speaker Amy Schmitter\, a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alberta. Dr. Schmitter’s research interests include the history of early modern philosophy\, the philosophy of art\, the history of metaphysics and philosophy of mind\, the history of theories of emotions\, and feminist approaches to the history of philosophy. \nTalk Title\n“Affective Remedy\, Government and Standards: Naturalist Strategies for Ameliorating the Passions in Early Modern Philosophy” \nTalk Abstract\n\nMany early modern philosophers turn to what they variously called the ‘passions\,’ ‘affects\,’ or ‘sentiments’ as a reservoir of naturalist solutions to problems in philosophical psychology. Although the term “naturalist” is a bit anachronistic\, I hope to show that it is a fair description of how a number of early modern philosophers thought the passions shape our experience as finite\, embodied creatures immersed in social and physical environments not of our own making. At the same time\, those philosophers thought we could improve on the passionate hand\, so to speak\, that nature had dealt us. Here I will explore some of the myriad ways that Descartes\, Hobbes\, Spinoza\, and (maybe) Hume offer for moderating\, remedying\, regulating\, or governing our passionate dispositions that can justifiably be considered naturalist. \n  \n\nOne of six departmental Research Interest Groups\, the History of Philosophy Group explores topics in ancient and/or medieval philosophy\, the period from Descartes to Kant\, and Jewish philosophy from the medieval period to the 20th century.
