Digital Worlds Workshop
The philosophy departments at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and The University of North Dakota invite submissions for a virtual workshop to be conducted remotely on April 25-27 2025 . We seek papers that interrogate the way modern digital technology enhances, hampers, or alters our experience of our lived worlds.

[ July 9, 2025 - July 11, 2025] Conference or similar: Workshop on Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism” https://philevents.org/event/show/127314

Workshop on Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism”
The aim of this workshop is to schematize what we might call Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism.” The name “Walter Benjamin” may not necessarily call to mind an explicit theorization of fascism. While Benjamin is well-loved for his aesthetic theory, his critique of historical and technical “progress,” and his theorization of juridical violence, none of these necessarily indicate a unifying or even detailed theory of fascism such as we find in the work of his contemporaries, such…

Heidegger and/in/on Translation - ed. by Luca Illetterati and Elena Nardelli
In 2020, the journal Verifiche dedicated a double special issue – titled “Hegel and/in/on Translation,” edited by Saša Hrnjez and Elena Nardelli – to the relationship between Hegel’s philosophy and the topic of translation. This special issue of Verifiche, “Heidegger and/in/on Translation,” aims to build upon this philosophical and editorial project, this time addressing the specificity of the relationship between Heidegger’s philosophy and practical and theoretical questions r…

"Tiling with Three Polygons is Undecidable"
Erik D. Demaine; Stefan Langerman 17 Sep 2024
Abstract
We prove that the following problem is co-RE-complete and thus undecidable: given three simple polygons, is there a tiling of the plane where every tile is an isometry of one of the three polygons (either allowing or forbidding reflections)? This result improves on the best previous construction which requires five polygons.
...
It remains open whether tiling …

Article on media treatment of people with disabilities after the ADA was enacted in 1990.
A quote from the article:
"In the mind of the public and the media, there are 'legitimate' and 'worthy' disabilities, usually those visible to the naked eye, such as mobility impairments and blindness. At the other end of the spectrum, there are the 'undeserving disabled,' people who are thought to be to blame for their conditions."

La questione del bambino in Merleau-Ponty: letture e sviluppi
Anche se ricche di possibili approfondimenti e aperture, le riflessioni in ambito psicologico e pedagogico che ruotano intorno agli studi sul bambino nell’opera di Maurice Merleau-Ponty trovano in letteratura poco riconoscimento e valorizzazione. Raccolti principalmente nei corsi tenuti al Collège de France tra il 1949 e il 1952, queste indagini impegnano il filosofo e fenomenologo francese in un dialogo con il contesto scientifico dell’epoca. In linea con le riflessioni svolte, tra gli al…

The question of the child in Merleau-Ponty: readings and developments
The psychological and pedagogical reflections on childhood in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have received little recognition and appreciation in the literature, although they offer a variety of possible insights and openings. These studies are mainly collected from courses held at the Collège de France between 1949 and 1952; they place the French philosopher in dialogue with the scientific context of the time. Following the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jacque…

This series invites proposals in classical phenomenology, French phenomenology, pre- and post-phenomenologies, and in methodologies that bridge phenomenology and analytic philosophy. The relation between phenomenology and religious experience can be considered in a variety of modes: epistemic (phenomenology as a "rigorous science" of religious experience in Husserl's sense); ontic (phenomenology as a way to access the core motive, or regulative ideal, of religion); analogical (phenomenological …
