Space Time Matter Energy, premiere 10 June, St Mary-le-Strand

Hello!

I wonder if you would be kind enough to publicise this forthcoming concert among your staff and students, please? It sets words by eminent scientists and philosophers to music for percussion, voices and piano – a new take on the traditional oratorio. As the performance will be so close to you, we should be delighted to welcome anyone from LSE!

If you would like posters or A5 flyers, I should be happy to supply them.

Many thanks in anticipation,
Rosie

He aims to understand the formal character that arguably defines distinctively human activity: it contains and is pursued through an understanding of itself. As this understanding — self-understanding in an emphatic sense — pervades human life, his work ranges widely, and includes writings in the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, action theory, moral philosophy, philosophy of law. He also has written interpretively on Aristotle, Kant and Hegel, and he is the author of Categories of the Temporal (HUP: 2011) and Self-Consciousness (HUP: 2007).

CALL FOR PAPERS for the III Braga Colloquium in the History of Moral and Political Philosophy

Call for Papers

for the

III Colloquium in the History of Moral and Political Philosophy

University of Minho

Braga, Portugal

1-2 February 2018

Theme: Radicalism and Compromise

Our keynote speaker this year will be: Prof. Avishai Margalit (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)

The Political Theory Group of the University of Minho is pleased to announce the III Braga Colloquium in the History of Moral and Political Philosophy, an international annual conference to be held every year in January at the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal. The purpose of this conference series is to promote the study of the tradition of political and moral philosophy and its legacy in shaping our institutions, culture and beliefs. But it will focus on how this tradition can contribute to tackling the challenges our societies are facing today. Every year the conference will have a specific theme, which will be chosen by taking into consideration the current global political situation.

In line with the spirit behind this new series of conferences, the third edition of the Braga Colloquium in the History of Moral and Political Philosophy will be dedicated to explore the ideas of “radicalism” and “compromise”.

Politics has frequently been defined as the art of the possible or the art of compromise. More dramatically, it has been depicted as the realm of Faustian deals and tragic choices. Max Webber famously wrote that the political call demands endurance in the face of disappointment. It is the realm of frustration and sacrifices, of fragile equilibriums between fiat justitia and raison d’état.

Sometimes the existence of political structures of accountability relaxes the dependence on character, reputation, and honor among conflicting parties. Reasonable civic duties suffice to deflate social conflicts and to compensate offended actors. Lacking these institutions, integrity becomes non-negotiable for social trust.

On occasion, however, a social order of tolerance would not emerge without sacrificing the moral integrity of former heroes that we now consider dogmatic integrists. Conversely, this institutional order of tolerance also allows the political space for the reconstruction of identity claims for recognition that derive their radical strength from their intrinsic aversion to political settlement.

From a historical point of view, our political languages and attitudes towards compromise, negotiation, bargaining, and agreement have changed in a myriad of contexts and traditions. As so did our conceptions of what seemed once worth sacrificing or defending.

The aim of this Colloquium is to bring to the fore philosophical treatments from various philosophical traditions of these aspects of political activity, and to do so from an historical perspective that might help us shed light on the shape of things as they are now.

The Colloquium welcomes original explorations of political conflicts that illuminate these dimensions of conceptual change in radicalism and compromise from different traditions and perspectives.
