Final Call for Papers: 'Rape and its Meaning/s'
Final Call for Papers: 'Rape and its Meaning/s'
Special edition of *Philosophical Papers*
Guest editor: Louise du Toit (University of Johannesburg)
Expected contributors include: Susan Brison, Ann Cahill, and Seriol Morgan.
The topic of rape has not received the kind of deep and sustained attention
from philosophers that it warrants. However, during the past three decades
the trickle of papers, book collections, and monographs has steadily
increased. Notable among these works are those written by women who were
victims of rape, including Susan Brison's "Aftermath: Violence and the
Remaking of a Self" (2002), which explores rape from the perspective of
someone who is both a victim and a professional philosopher. These latter
contributions-as well as others-are important in that they focus on the
meaning or meanings of rape.
The aim of this special issue of Philosophical Papers is to consider the
possible meanings of rape, and to better illuminate the damage of rape in
the light of such meanings. Discussions can approach the topic from any of a
range of angles, including the personal, political, legal, socio-symbolic,
literary, or religious. We are interested in any approach that clarifies the
significance of the phenomenon of rape.
Possible questions for discussion include:
--Should we seek for rape's meaning in the intentions of the rapist or in the
experiences of the victim, or in both?
--What types of damage does rape cause?
--To what extent does rape have political significance?
--Does rape have different meanings in different contexts or socio-political
dispensations? Does rape in war have different meanings from rape in peace
time?
--To what extent does the law determine rape's social meaning?
--What role does culture and religion play in the meaning of rape?
--Does the meaning of rape change when the victim is a child? When the victim
is male?
--What is the relationship between the meaning of rape and the meaning of sex?
--How does the absence of consent in rape relate to its meaning?
The deadline for receipt of submissions is 30 June 2009. This issue of
Philosophical Papers, comprising both invited and submitted articles, will
appear in November 2009.
Authors should submit manuscripts electronically, as a pdf- or word-document
attachment, to <Philosophical.Papers@ru.ac.zaPhilosophical.Papers@ru.ac.za>>. Authors must include their
full name, affiliation, and address for e-mail correspondence with their
submission.

Call for Papers: Session on History of Cognitive Science
Call for Papers: Session on History of Cognitive Science
The XXIII International Congress of History of Science and Technology
will be held in Budapest between 28 July - 2 August, 2009. The
congress will have forty sessions and about one hundred symposia.
A special session of the congress will focus on the problems of history
of cognitive science and related topics. We invite original
contributions to the research on the broad field of cognitive science in the
context of history of interdisciplinarity.
The history of cognitive science has not yet attracted enough the
attention of professional historians of science. The two most accepted
texts on the subject (H. Gardner.s .The Mind.s New Science. (1985) and M.
Boden.s .Mind as Machine. (2006)) are done by insiders whose
stories, although providing invaluable first-hand information, are
inevitably framed by their authors. personal attitudes and academic
preferences.
The aim of the session is to bring together cognitive scientists,
historians, philosophers and sociologists of science who are
interested in re-thinking and filling out the insiders. stories by
discussing the key issues in the half-century history of cognitive
science in a broader historical, philosophical and social context.
Informative and/or critical papers related to any aspect of the history
or pre-history of cognitive science are welcome but priority
will be given to texts which focus on the roots, the unfolding and the
results (especially the added value, if any) of the cognitive
interdisciplinary project, viewed as a part of the larger context of
history of interdisciplinarity.
If you are interested in the participation please visit the web site of
the congress (note that the real deadline for abstract
submission will be 6 March) and contact one of the session organizers.
The web site:

15th International Philosophy Colloquium Evian Conditions of Freedom
Call for papers
15th International Philosophy Colloquium Evian
Conditions of Freedom
Evian (Lake Geneva), France
July 12-18, 2009
Contact:
Prof. Dr. Georg W. Bertram
Freie Universitaet Berlin, Institut für Philosophie, Habelschwerdter Allee
30, D-14195 Berlin, Germany
Call for Papers:
We invite proposals for presentations (maximum length: one page), along with
a short CV (maximum length: two pages), by April 1st, 2009. Please send
these documents via e-mail to the following address:
evian@philosophie.fu-berlin.de
A detailed exposition of the topic and all relevant information concerning
the character and history of the colloquium as well as matters of
accomodation and costs can be found on our website:
http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/eviancolloquium/
The idea of freedom stands at the center of practical philosophy, embedded
in a thick web of relations with concepts such as subjectivity, rationality,
morality, and existence. It draws its force from the tension between two
roles: on the one hand as a fundamental metaphysical or anthropological
determination of human beings; on the other as designating a political ideal
that can more or less be realized or fail to be realized in concrete forms
of life. Rousseau's opening flourish in The Social Contract, "Man is born
free, yet everywhere he is in chains," underlines this tension. In this
sense the idea of freedom stands not only practically but also conceptually
under complex conditions, which need to be understood in order to grasp what
we really mean by "freedom."
The Fifteenth International Philosophy Colloquium Evian invites philosophers
to Lake Geneva to discuss issues concerning the conditions of freedom. It
aims especially to encourage its participants to transcend the narrow
confines of different traditions in philosophy. It is conceived particularly
as a place where the divide between continental and analytic philosophy is
overcome, or at least where their differences can be rendered
philosophically productive. The passive mastery of French, German, and
English (the three languages of discussion of the colloquium) is an
indispensable prerequisite for its participants.
Organisation: Georg W. Bertram (Berlin), Robin Celikates (Bremen), David
Lauer (Berlin); in cooperation with: Karin de Boer (Groningen), Karen
Feldman (Berkeley), Jo-Jo Koo (Pittsburgh), Christophe Laudou (Madrid),
Jérôme Lèbre (Paris), Diane Perpich (Clemson), Hans Bernhard Schmid (Basel),

The Top 50 Philosophy Blogs
The Top 50 Philosophy Blogs
Philosophy is the examination of eternal problems, therefore you might not expect some of the best philosophy literature to be popping up on what, relatively speaking, is a relatively new medium, blogs. However, the freedom of form and the ability to get one’s thoughts out quickly to a ready audience has attracted some excellent philosophers to produce blogs of their own. To help you navigate the plethora of philosophy blogs we’ve selected what we consider to be the top 50 philosophy blogs on the web today and listed them below.
The top 50 philosophy blog list we’ve compiled includes blogs written by professional philosophers, graduate students, and undergraduate philosophy majors. It also includes joint blogs written by members of a particular philosophy department, organization, or a group of philosophers who focus their blog entries in a particular area of philosophy. We have categorized them by the eight major branches: Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Political Philosophy, Aesthetics, Philosophy of Language, and Philosophy of Mind.
Metaphysics
This is the investigation of the nature of being and the world. Traditional branches are cosmology and ontology.
1. Metaphysical Blog A blog community focused on metaphysics. Learn about everything from the theory of ascension to crystal balls.
2. The Reference Frame Covers the most important events in our universe. This blog is written from a conservative physicists’’ standpoint.
3. Creative Advance Devoted to discussing the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. Whitehead believed that creativity is the supreme metaphysical principle enticing the universe into novelty.

7. Nonduality in Thought and Practice Intended to be a collection of thoughts on various issues that either have been presented by readers, or that are of particular concern. The focus is on a non-dual understanding of reality as the pure presence of Awareness, and all philosophical or metaphysical considerations involved in reaching such an understanding.
Epistemology
Centers on the nature and scope of knowledge, and whether knowledge is possible. Its central concerns have been the challenges brought on by skepticism and the relationships between truth, belief, and justification.
8. A brood comb Offers philosophical notes on a number of topics. Posts are about making sense of things, understanding them, and trying to make oneself at home in the world.
9. All Embracing But Underwhelming… This blogs focus is about the philosophy around, above, and about conspiracy theories. This PhD Student has written several papers on this subject.

Michael Oakeshott Association Conference
Michael Oakeshott Association Conference
November 12-14, 2009
Baylor University
Waco, Texas
2009 marks the fifth meeting of the Michael Oakeshott Association, a group founded in 2001
to encourage the study of one of the 20th century’s most important political philosophers.
Previous conferences have taken place at the London School of Economics, Colorado College,
and the University of Jena in Germany.
This year, Baylor University will host the conference, broadening its scope to include the
thought of Leo Strauss and Eric Voegelin. Because Oakeshott, Strauss and Voegelin
overlapped so extensively in their interests and yet differed sharply on certain points of
method and teaching, comparisons among them often prove fruitful and enlightening. This
is why readers of one thinker often become serious readers of the others. And yet we rarely
if ever have an occasion to come together as a group and to benefit directly from each
other’s insights.
We thus especially invite papers on topics that all three thinkers address, such as the
function and place of liberal education, the fruitful tensions between reason and revelation,
the relationship of religion and politics, the meaning of political philosophy, the crisis of
modernity, and the role that studying the ancients may play in better understanding our
modern situation. This list is not exhaustive, but we strongly encourage potential presenters
to engage such comparative topics.
Abstracts, no more than 500 words, should be sent by April 30, 2009 to
Elizabeth_Corey@baylor.edu. Abstracts should also include: title of paper, full name(s),
affiliation, current position, and an email address.
The conference will take place at the Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University in
Waco, Texas.
