SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “For a Process Philosophy of Mind” by Prof. Rein Raud\, Tallinn University\, Estonia
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/92096145103 \nPassword: 319356 \n  \nAbstract \nThe majority of both traditional and contemporary object-oriented ontologies rely on the presumption that reality has a selfsame structure that exists independently of the human mind\, but nonetheless corresponds more or less exactly to the way in which human beings experience reality. In the present world\, however\, this view is being challenged from two sides: on the one hand\, the calls for a “posthuman” or “post-anthropocentric” approach question the validity of privileging the human perspective against other living species\, together with whom we are facing an ecological catastrophe\, while on the other hand\, the ever more intelligent forms of technology — and modes of surveillance and control that they make possible — infringe on the limits of human social agency in new and unpredictable ways. The talk will propose a systematic view on how to overcome the privilege of the human viewpoint by a reshuffling of our ontological and epistemological discourses through a dialogue of Western philosophical minority traditions and Asian thought\, aiming at a radical process philosophy. \n  \nBio \nProfessor Rein Raud (born 1961) is the Distinguished Professor of Asian Studies and Cultural Theory at Tallinn University. He is the author of “Being in Flux: A Post-Anthropocentric Ontology of the Self” (Polity 2021)\, on which his lecture strongly relies\, as well as “Asian Worldviews: Religions\, Philosophies\, Political Theories” (Wiley 2021)\, “Meaning in Action: Outline of an Integral Theory of Culture” (Polity 2016) and a large number of articles on comparative philosophy\, notably on the thought of Dōgen.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Pluralistic Theism and Religious Syncretism in Southeast Asia” by Prof. Jeremiah Joven Joaquin\, De La Salle University\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/98342254152 \nPassword: 930724 \n  \nAbstract \nPluralistic Theism is the view that there are different and equally correct conceptions of the divine\, and conjoining these varying conceptions need not imply a (logical) contradiction. I show how this view explains the contradictions implied by religious syncretism in Southeast Asia. I then compare and contrast the theoretical merits of this view with those of Ninian Smart’s Philosophy of Worldviews and John Hick’s Religious Pluralism. I conclude that the former view explains the target phenomenon better than the two latter views. \n  \nBio \nJeremiah Joven Joaquin is a Professor of Philosophy at De La Salle University\, Manila\, Philippines\, where he is also a Founding Fellow of the Southeast Asia Research Center and Hub. He works on philosophical logic\, especially its applications to moral philosophy and the philosophy of religion. His latest work explores the application of gappy to glutty logics to issues in philosophical theology.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Sexual Creepiness” by Prof. Dan Demetriou\, University of Minnesota\, U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95168727885 \nPassword: 763390 \n  \nAbstract \nAccusations of “sexual creepiness” appear to be on the rise. Why is this so\, and are such accusations morally problematic? In this essay I will follow legal scholar Heidi Matthews in arguing that sexual creepiness is in tension with liberal and progressive moral commitments. Liberals and progressives may\, as Matthews does\, maintain a principled stance and reject creepiness as a category\, just as they do sluttiness. But the costs of abandoning sexual creepiness may be high\, and these costs should be tallied before creepiness norms are expunged. Empirical findings about what gets accused of being creepy suggest that creepiness norms may have been recruited to establish important social equilibria. It is plausible that recent technology\, intersecting with the collapse of traditional courtship norms and higher percentages of unattached men\, has resulted in a deluge of sexual proposition aimed at young women and fewer desirable mates for unattached older women. I advance the hypothesis that creepiness norms have been largely repurposed to control male sexual advances: first\, by discouraging substandard male suitors from approaching young women who are unlikely to be interested in them (“prefiltration”)\, and second\, by deflecting eligible older men away from young women and towards older women (“redirection”). The ethical question liberals and progressives must wrestle with is whether these benefits justify the moral costs. \n  \nBio \nDan Demetriou is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota\, Morris. An ethicist and social-political philosopher\, he is the co-editor of Honor in the Modern World (Lexington/Rowman and Littlefield\, 2016) and has recent and forthcoming work in the areas of sex ethics\, monument ethics\, gun rights\, and migration ethics.
