FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “On Having and Lacking Certainty” by Prof. Matthew Ratcliffe, University of York, UK
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “On Having and Lacking Certainty” by Prof. Matthew Ratcliffe, University of York, UK
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/99459515373 Password: 978914 Abstract This paper develops a phenomenological account of what it is to have and to lose an underlying sense of “certainty”. By drawing on themes in Wittgenstein’s later writings and also the phenomenological tradition, I conceive of having certainty in terms of the anticipatory structure of experience. It consists in a practical, non-localized, unwavering sense that things will work out, that one will be able to go on. This also involves the pre-reflective acceptance of a form of uncertainty. I conclude by suggesting that, by conceiving of certainty in this way and acknowledging its fragility, we can better understand various different disturbances to which human experience is susceptible. Bio Matthew Ratcliffe is Professor of Philosophy […]

Cesário Verde’s Vision of Lisbon
Cesário Verde’s Vision of Lisbon
Registration link (for those who would like to collect Smart Points for the seminar): https://forms.gle/7rgPNr8UJm1JH5wm7 Abstract: Posthumously regarded as a peculiar pioneer of modern Portuguese poetry, Cesário Verde (1855-1886) started sketching Lisbonian scenery in the latter half of the 19th century. Those urban poems intersected with Verde's inner landscape got him an ironic name as a Portuguese Baudelaire. This talk will guide the audience to revisit the Lisbonian sites in poems like “Num Bairro Moderno” and “O Sentimento dum Occidental.” Conjoining historical background of the urbanization and sanitation of Lisbon, we will see Verde’s transformation of memory and reality, the modernity of his poetic language that is both objective and visionary, and the underlying associations between the memories of the […]

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Evil and the Problem of Impermanence in Japanese Philosophy” by Prof. Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Evil and the Problem of Impermanence in Japanese Philosophy” by Prof. Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/97086925839 Password: 322991 Abstract The problem of evil is widely considered a problem only for traditional Western monotheists who believe that there is an omnipotent and morally perfect God. I argue, however, that the problem of evil, more specifically a variant of the problem of evil which I call the ‘problem of impermanence’, arises even for those adhering to the philosophical and religious traditions of the East. I analyse and assess various responses to the problem of impermanence found in medieval Japanese literature. I argue that the only response that is potentially satisfactory requires supernaturalism. I conclude, therefore, that the problem of impermanence is a unique problem posing a greater challenge to naturalists than to supernaturalists. Bio Yujin […]

FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ‘Unlocking the Power of “Big” Interpreting Data: Insights from CEPIC and CETILC’
FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ‘Unlocking the Power of “Big” Interpreting Data: Insights from CEPIC and CETILC’
Abstract: With the rapid advancement of technology and increased accessibility for interpreting data, the field of corpus-based interpreting studies (CIS) has seen great leaps and bounds in multiple aspects from the stage of data collection, processing, to analysis and visualisation, as well as data sharing. These advancements have significantly expanded and improved our knowledge of this complex human activity crucial to modern communication. What then, will be the main challenges and prospects for this field to move forward? Why should we start to “mine” interpreting data? How can we do it? What are the potential obstacles and pitfalls that we should prevent from happening? In this talk, the speaker will share her experience of developing a couple of (open-access) mega-size […]

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Class Traitors? The Assault on the Intellectuals’ Power in the Book of Lord Shang and Han Feizi” by Prof. Yuri Pines, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Class Traitors? The Assault on the Intellectuals’ Power in the Book of Lord Shang and Han Feizi” by Prof. Yuri Pines, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/91556908494 Password: 502953 Abstract One of the most notable features of the Warring States-period (Zhanguo 戰國, 453-221 BCE) political discourse is the extraordinary self-confidence of the intellectually active members of the shi 士 (men-of-service) stratum. Having positioned themselves as collective possessors of the Way 道, these shi intellectuals claimed recognition as society’s and the rulers’ moral guides. One of the major ways of asserting their superiority vis-à-vis the rulers was through proliferation of historical (and quasi-historical) narratives that uniformly placed the rulers at the position of recipients of their advisers’ wisdom. In my study I want to explore the counter-discourse aimed at undermining the intellectuals’ authority. Two texts are most notable in their systematic assault on fellow intellectuals. […]
