WORKSHOPS
2020-21

Workshop: PHILOSOPHIES OF LANGUAGE. THEORIES AND HISTORY
faculty sponsor: Marina De Palo
students coordinator: Edoardo Moré, Luca Di Vincenzo
title: The relationship between subjectivity and language in the 20th century

This seminar rests on the cooperation between the doctoral school in philosophy and the LabSIL (https://web.uniroma1.it/storiaideelinguistiche/) of La Sapienza. There is a long and important tradition of studies about theories of language and their history, represented by scholars such as Antonino Pagliaro, founder of the Roman school of linguistics, his pupils Walter Belardi, and Tullio De Mauro and as Lia Formigari, who have carried a large part of their research at the university La Sapienza. Labsil is now a meeting place for younger and older scholars concerned by this issue. The specific branch of philosophy of language carried out by the LabSIL intertwines theoretical and philosophical reflections on language with the history of linguistic theories and with philological attention to texts (philologeîn and philosopheîn). This intertwinement shows the epistemological value of a philosophy of linguistics built on the history of theories. According to this tradition, the aim of the seminar is to bring together different disciplines and skills, first and foremost those of philosophers, historians, philosophers of science and linguists.

Workshop: AESTHETICS
faculty sponsor: Stefano Velotti
students coordinator: Francesca Natale

The permanent doctoral seminar of Aesthetics is offered in cooperation with CiEG – “Cattedra Internazionale Emilio Garroni” (www.cieg.info). The cooperation is due to the fact that Emilio Garroni’s (1926-2015) work has deeply marked the ‘Rome school of aesthetics’, which construes aesthetics as a philosophical reflection tout court – aimed at reflecting on the sense of experience in general – and not primarily as a philosophy of art. For the last years, the seminar has focused on some issues already tackled by Garroni in his works (such as the problem of the Kantian “common sense” or Gemeinsinn, the nature of perception and imagination, the spatial and temporal dimension of aesthetic experience, and so on). This year, the main focus of the seminar is the notion of attention, which is not only at the center of the philosophical and psychological debate, and of great importance for aesthetics, but has become a much valued “good” in the age of the Web and the social media. The seminar will tackle the issue of attention in some of its theoretical, aesthetic, social, and political aspects.

Workshop: ETHICS
faculty sponsor: Piergiorgio Donatelli
students coordinator: Morgana Bizzego, Filippo Sanna

The Ethics Workshop seeks to explore philosophical reflection on ethics from the perspective of the pluralism of normative agendas and theoretical languages, across a variety of issues: foundational themes, questions of human nature seen in the dimensions of the everyday and common life, philosophical psychology, social ethics, bioethics and issues concerning the non human world and the environment, as well as the study of the history of ethics as the source of new genealogies of contemporary problems. The Workshop privileges the analytical style in philosophy, with the aim to foster a dialogue among independent critical approaches (such as the ethical liberalism of J.S. Mill and John Rawls, Martha Nussbaum’s capability approach, Amartya Sen’s anti-transcendentalism, care ethics, feminist theory and gender studies, Stanley Cavell’s moral perfectionism, Cora Diamond’s Wittgensteinian conceptual approach, Michel Foucault’s perspective on the technologies of the self, recent forms of ethical naturalism) with different disciplines such as the natural sciences, law, political theory, cognitive science, and the social sciences.

Workshop: PHILOSOPHY, GENDER STUDIES AND PRACTICES OF DIFFERENCES
faculty sponsor: Caterina Botti, Luisa Valente
students coordinator: Giulia Dettori
title: Women, philosophies and feminisms: Between thinking and being thought of

The aim of the permanent workshop on Philosophy, gender studies and practices of differences is twofold. First, it aims at exploring and testifying to the ways in which gender differences, differences in sexuality, social and ethnical differences, illness and mental illness and other axes of differentiation have been built and read within the history of Western philosophy. Second, it aims at exploring the different lines of thought and practices which have been developed in reaction to the discriminations which found their basis in these categories and concepts: feminist philosophies, queer theories, postcolonial and anti-racist thinking and so forth. The activity of the permanent workshop will include, therefore, cycles of conferences and seminars devoted both to the history and historiography of philosophy and to more recent reflections and theorizations, together with a special attention to contemporary practical issues.

Workshop: EVOLUTION, ETHICS AND ECOLOGY
faculty sponsor: Simone Pollo
students coordinator: Margherita Bianchi, Leonardo Ursillo, Andrea Olmo Viola
title: Evoluzione, etica e scienze cognitive. Tre discussioni di libri

The permanent seminar of Evolution, ethics and ecology collects the legacy of two permanent seminars already active in the past years: the permanent Seminar of Ecoevolution and Cognition (founded and coordinated by Prof. Elena Gagliasso) and the permanent Seminar of Animal Studies(founded and coordinated by prof. Simone Pollo). Aim of the Seminar is to discuss the epistemological and ethical issues connected to the biological sciences, starting from the naturalistic framework of explanation and study of the living world offered by Darwinian theory and its most recent developments. The topics covered by the seminar activities are: the debate on the nature and methods of the theory of evolution; ecology, environmental philosophy and environmental ethics; animal ethics and the wider field of animal studies; the most recent developments of ethology and cognitive sciences; the relationship between science and society; environmental and animal rights movements.
