Heidegger Reading GroupOnline onlyHeidegger turns Gadamer in this term: You are warmly invited to join the Heidegger Reading Group where we in this term read Hans-Georg Gadamer’s “Truth and Method” (1960). Every Monday, 7.15-8.45 pm, online only. For meeting details and the reading schedule, email fridolin.neumann@warwick.ac.uk. Guided by Haley’s expertise, we will work through the entire book in this term. Gadamer is one of Heidegger's most influential students, not just in philosophy but in the humanities more generally (social thought, medical humanities, law, aesthetics, etc.). By way of outline, Gadamer's text is concerned with defending humanistic truth, and he achieves this by looking at three places this truth shows up in human life: aesthetics, history, and conversation. “Truth and Method” is, then, relevant to those of us concerned with epistemology, aesthetics, history as a philosophical topic (beginning with Kant and Hegel), philosophy of language, and ontology. |

Summer Seminar 2024: Troy Jollimore, Love’s VisionR3.25Thursday May 16, 2–4pm: Chapter 4: Beyond Comparison Seminars will take place in R3.25. All colleagues, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, are very welcome. “Love often seems uncontrollable and irrational, but we just as frequently appear to have reasons for loving the people we do. In Love’s Vision, Troy Jollimore offers a new way of understanding love that accommodates both of these facts, arguing that love is guided by reason even as it resists and sometimes eludes rationality. At the same time, he reconsiders love’s moral status, acknowledging its moral dangers while arguing that it is, at heart, a moral phenomenon—an emotion that demands empathy and calls us away from excessive self-concern. Love is revealed as neither wholly moral nor deeply immoral, neither purely rational nor profoundly irrational. Rather, as Diotima says in Plato’s Symposium, love is “something in between.”” |

WMA Reading Group: Origins of Naturalised IntentionalityS2.84We are pleased to welcome you to the WMA reading group, Origins of Naturalised Intentionality. In this reading group, we will go through five highly influential authors who seek to provide the grounds for a scientific account of mental content (the stuff we think about). The reading is chosen to provide an accessible introduction to the naturalistic approach to mental content. We hope to have a relatively relaxed discussion of the (sometimes controversial) ideas on offer! We will meet in S2.84 on Mondays of even weeks (starting 29/04/24) at 14:00-15:30. The sessions will be led by Johan Heemskerk. Feel free to reach out to Oscar North-Concar or Johan Heemskerk for any further information. The group is open to absolutely everyone, so do come along if you are interested!
