In section 1\, I illustrate the paradoxicality of radical evil and the novelty of Kant’s “empowering” conception focused on human agency. In section 2\, I argue that radical evil entails a normative variety of unintelligibility\, signaling lack of self-knowledge and self-alienation. In section 3\, I show that the (moral) opacity of maxims does not undermine one’s awareness of the moral law\, does not prevent self and co-legislation\, and therefore does not preclude the exercise of moral agency. In section 4\, I account for the distinctive functions of hope and faith\, denying that they are complementary. In sections 5 and 6\, I argue that the reliance on hope or faith points to different modes of contrasting evil by organizing human agency in institutional forms. In section 7\, I conclude that the most powerful response to radical evil is the organization of shared agency – a communal\, ethical\, political\, and institutional enterprise. \nLocation: Online but streamed from Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-carla-bagnoli-university-of-modena-and-reggio-emilia/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250505T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250505T110000 DTSTAMP:20260612T074350 CREATED:20250114T182431Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250505T070812Z UID:10002273-1746437400-1746442800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Medieval Logic Seminar: John Buridan\, ‘Summulae de Suppositionibus’ from his Summulae de Dialectica DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/medieval-logic-seminar-58/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Medieval Logic Research Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250505T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250505T140000 DTSTAMP:20260612T074350 CREATED:20250114T182431Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250505T070812Z UID:10002274-1746446400-1746453600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/unity-seminar-5/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Unity Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250505T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250505T170000 DTSTAMP:20260612T074350 CREATED:20250114T182431Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250505T070812Z UID:10002275-1746457200-1746464400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:WIKI Seminar: DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/wiki-seminar-3/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:WIKI Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250506 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250508 DTSTAMP:20260612T074350 CREATED:20250212T195338Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250506T235321Z UID:10002417-1746489600-1746662399@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Philosophy of Climate Science Workshop DESCRIPTION:Please register by 25 April at the latest by filling out this form.

In this lecture\, I will draw upon longitudinal ethnographic research with young women in Delhi\, India to explore situated vocabularies of work as a window into changing understandings of work amidst a push towards increasing women’s workforce participation. The distinction between different forms of work shows change in and reproduction of gender\, class\, and caste relations\, and is important for refusal of certain kinds of work.

She interrogates the definition\, classification\, and value of work. Her research includes under and un-paid forms of work\, such as domestic work\, care work\, as well as the work of preparing for work. She adopts an intersectional approach to gender and have particularly been attentive to the intersections between gender\, class\, and caste in her research. \n  URL:/philevents/event/staigs-annual-lecture-13-may-2025-dr-asiya-islam-working-women-gender-work-and-the-politics-of-refusal-2/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/philevents/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot-2025-04-30-at-14.38.23-e1746020343101-nF9AP9.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250513T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250513T140000 DTSTAMP:20260612T074350 CREATED:20250114T182502Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T073823Z UID:10002284-1747137600-1747144800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/language-and-mind-seminar-78/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Language and Mind Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250513T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250513T140000 DTSTAMP:20260612T074350 CREATED:20250509T073812Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250513T080851Z UID:10002458-1747137600-1747144800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Ryan Nefdt (University of Cape Town) DESCRIPTION:Title: The Boundaries of Learning in Humans and AI \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I discuss a recent controversy in the philosophies of AI and cognitive science. The issue of ‘impossible grammars’ has some pedigree in theoretical linguistics as an offshoot of both the Universal Grammar postulate and the Principles and Parameters framework of the early 1980’s. Recently\, the idea that human language is constrained by particular kinds of rules has been used to challenge the emerging optimism concerning the role of language models in cognitive science.\nI offer some caution to both sides of an emerging debate\, arguing the language models are neither irrelevant due to their alleged unconstrained learning nor necessarily aligned when they show some human-like learning biases.

Two of the protagonists in north Italy\, Giorgia and Eleonora are resigned to a life in a nation-state engulfed in right-wing nationalism. They explore the 2022 election of Giorgia Meloni within the framework of a continuing Cold War. The lurking Cold War lives on in literature\, education systems\, and family politics. They introduce intersections between personal beliefs\, the structures of Italian family and society\, and feminist literary and philosophical inspirations.
