SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Diverse Fates in Homer" by Prof. Hao Chunpeng\, Shanghai Normal University\, China
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/soiigfgx \n  \nAbstract \nHow does fate play out in Homer’s epics? Were Hektor’s and Achiles’s ends predestined? Do ordinary humans have any control over their lives\, or do gods direct their plans? And does Zeus always have the final say? Fate is usually understood as the unknowable will of a supernatural power controlling all events in human life. In Homer\, fate is a highly diverse notion\, reflecting the hierarchical structure that defines the relationships between Zeus\, other gods\, heroes\, and ordinary people. In what follows we look at how this structure plays out in the unfolding of events in the exciting Homeric universe. \n\nBio \nChunpeng Hao is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Shanghai Normal University. He obtained his B.A. in Administration from Hebei University of Economics and Business in 2005\, Ph.M. in Western Philosophy from Hainan University in 2009\, and Ph.D. in Western Philosophy from Fudan University in 2014 with a dissertation on “Raymond Aron and the Philosophy of History”. He was a visiting scholar at Boston College (2017.12-2018.12) and Université de Paris-Ouest-Nanterre-La Defense (2012.12-2013.4). \nHis research focuses on Philosophy of History\, Political Philosophy\, and French Philosophy. He has published books such as “A Companion to Utopia” (2022) and “Understanding and Construction: Raymond Aron’s Philosophy of History” (2021)\, and articles in refereed journals like “Diverse Fates in Homer” in Philosophy and Literature (2024).

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Spiritual-Based Values at the Cultural Crossroads" by Prof. Dan Chițoiu\, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași\, Romania
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/3w6maslx \n  \nAbstract \nIn an increasingly interconnected world\, the intersection of diverse cultures has become a rich ground for exchanging ideas\, traditions\, and values. At the heart of this cultural crossroads lies the potential for spiritual-based values to go beyond geographical\, linguistic\, and ideological boundaries. These values emerge from religious traditions\, philosophical inquiry\, or personal spiritual practices and experiences. Spiritual-based values are those principles and codes that arise from an awareness of the interconnectedness of all aspects of life\, a multimillennial wisdom. Such values\, rooted in the deeper dimensions of human existence\, offer a framework for harmony in a world marked by division and conflict. Yet\, while the potential of spiritual-based values is great\, their integration into the cultural crossroads is not without challenges. \n  \nBio \nDan Chițoiu is Professor of Philosophy at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași\, Romania. Founder of the Institute for the Study of Values and Spirituality with John Farina. Director of the Iași Center of the Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (Washington DC). Editor of the Journal for Research in Values and Spirituality. Former Research Coordinator at the Romanian Academy-Iași Branch. Founding and organizing with Dr. Constantinos Athanasopoulos (FHEA\, UK/Greece) the St Gregory Palamas Seminar: International Research into the Philosophical and Theological Work of St Gregory Palamas. His research interests are in Eastern European Spirituality and Philosophy\, Intercultural Philosophy and Comparative Philosophy. He has attended conferences\, lectured\, and/or has been published in many countries\, including the United States\, Greece\, Italy\, Slovakia\, Portugal\, Turkey\, Lebanon\, Russia\, China\, Thailand\, India\, Pakistan\, Egypt\, Kenya\, South Africa\, Argentina\, and Australia. His most recent publications include Philosophizing in the Christian East; Founding Ideas of the Eastern-European Cultural Horizon; Person\, World\, Ultimate Reality and Faces and Sur-faces: A Phenomenology of Intercultural Encounters.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Reason With Multiple Exemplars" by Prof. Xinkan Zhao\, Peking University\, China
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/8aa0b7f1 \n  \nAbstract \nSuppose some form of idealization- and desire-based thesis of internalism about reasons is true\, that an agent has reason to φ if and only if the ideal counterpart of the agent has a desire appropriately related to φ-ing. Questions then arise concerning how best to flesh out the thesis and what follows from it when properly understood. In this talk\, I take up these questions. More specifically\, I first engage with the well-known debate between two ways of understanding the thesis\, namely\, to treat the counterpart as an exemplar or an advisor\, and make a case for a revised version of the exemplar model. Then I critically examine Eric Sampson’s recent challenge that internalism faces foundational difficulties because an agent may have multiple fully rational counterparts. I argue that we should follow Sampson in thinking that internalism should take the form of having multiple exemplars\, but that the difficulties he raises rest on mistaken assumptions and therefore do not post a real threat. I go on to work out some of the theoretical consequences of internalism so understood\, but remain neutral on whether they count in favor of or against the theory. \n  \nBio \nProfessor Xinkan Zhao is an assistant professor in philosophy at Peking University\, working primarily on normativity and metaethics. He is particularly interested in questions like whether normative facts can be identified with naturalistic facts\, whether they are relativized (and if so\, how)\, how various normative systems are related\, the extent to which moral rationalism is true\, among others. His most recent research focus revolves around theories that can be broadly categorized as constructivism about reasons\, which he takes to be the best if not only hope of escaping the grip of error theory. Apart from normativity and metaethics\, he takes an interest in metaphysics\, including mainstream topics in the analytic tradition\, and in comparative philosophy\, with the hope that the native Chinese philosophical tradition receives the attention that it deserves in academia. His piecemeal thoughts have appeared in journals such as Australasian Journal of Philosophy\, Synthese\, and Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy.
