10/12 10am-11am: Reading Group: Democracy Despite Itself: Liberal Constitutionalism and Militant Democracy

Donna McIntyre — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 10:59:32 GMT

When: 10am - 11am, Wed, 10 Dec '25

Where: S2.61

In the Autumn Term we are reading Democracy Despite Itself: Liberal Constitutionalism and Militant Democracy. As before, we meet at 10am on Wednesdays in Lorenzo’s office.

If you haven’t come along before the book group is very informal and super fun. It is mostly staff, with (usually) a couple of PhD students. Staff come from across the department and we have members from every research centre, so it really is a broad church. Expertise in the subject is absolutely not a prerequisite for coming. It’s a way to do philosophy together and get to know each other better. All welcome!

The book is available online in the library:

24/06 5pm-6pm: Reading group: Kant meets “Sex, Love, & Gender”

Donna McIntyre — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 14:21:53 GMT

When: 5pm - 6pm, Tue, 24 Jun '25

Where: S2.85

Reading group: Kant meets “Sex, Love, & Gender”

We cordially invite you to a reading group centred on Helga Varden’s widely acclaimed book “Sex, Love, and Gender: A Kantian Theory” (2020). In it, Varden proposes an ambitious assessment of Kant’s moral, legal, and political philosophy, claiming it can provide a robust framework for intimate life as well as a progressive account of gender identity, bodily autonomy, and sexual rights. To do so, Varden insists, we must, of course, also “overcome Kant’s own mistakes” and “identify and overcome Kant’s own binary positions and, consequently, his cisism, sexism, and heterosexism”.

We’ll read selected chapters from Varden’s book alongside other relevant articles, starting with Mari Mikkola’s 2011 paper, “Kant on Moral Agency and Women’s Nature”. (If you have suggestions or requests, do share!) Just a quick note: we’re no experts on Kant’s practical philosophy – and you don’t need to be either. We’re simply hoping for some refreshing insights on this confrontation between Kant and “Sex, Love, and Gender” (without diving into the primary texts together).

Meetings will take place every other Tuesday at 5 pm, starting on 29 April. If you’re interested, please email map.philosophy@warwick.ac.uk or scan the QR code on the poster to join the WhatsApp group!

18/02 4pm-5pm: "Porn and Feminism" reading group by MAP

Donna McIntyre — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 16:15:25 GMT

When: 4pm - 5pm, Tue, 18 Feb '25

Where: S2.85

Porn websites rank among the most visited websites globally with billions of visits every month. According to a study from 2018, 91.5% of men and 60.2% of women (ages 18-73) in the US reported having consumed pornography in the past month (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30358432/). The impact that porn has on feminist issues has been discussed by feminist philosophers for decades. We want to explore the relation between ‘Porn and Feminism’ by reading a couple of introductory texts together! By ‘exploring’ we mean to not take certain evaluative assumptions towards pornography for granted beforehand but to get familiar with some of the things that have been said in feminist debates.

We will start by reading the chapter “Talking to My Students About Porn” by Amia Srinivasan (contained in her 2021 book “The Right to Sex” and attached). After that, we will determine the readings successively which is also an opportunity to bring in your own wishes and suggestions.

Where and when: every second Tuesday, 4-5 pm (weeks 2, 4, perhaps 6, 8, 10); room S2.85 (in the Economics department very close to the Philosophy department). We will, accordingly, start next Tuesday, 14. January!

Any questions, suggestions, or comments: map.philosophy@warwick.ac.uk.

Best,

Frido
