*Abstract*
The reflection on style in Nietzsche's philosophical work cannot be
circumscribed to a specific period. It is in fact one of the most important
leitmotifs of his œuvre, whose treatment, almost never systematic, is
entrusted to anecdotes, mottos and quick remarks. Starting with his first
study of the complex artificiality and conventionality of ancient
literatures, Nietzsche lays the foundations for his future reflections on
philosophical language and the great style. This "dispersed" form, however,
in no way diminishes the theoretical weight of the considerations on style
and modes of writing in Nietzsche's work. The aesthetic paradigm of the
Greek literary work, its rigid formalism and exaggerated normativity to
which the entire expressive potential of the artwork was entrusted,
increasingly takes the form of an ethical paradigm in Nietzsche's
reflection. The "unnatural naturalness" of the great style, the creative
freedom within the closed realm of convention, which Nietzsche borrows from
the experience of ancient rhetoric, drives him to conceive, through words
and writings, an ethics of self-determination, a character-shaping action
of stylistic choices. In contrast to the popular view according to which
Nietzsche is the philosopher of irrationality, he concentrates all his
efforts on the codification of a theory of education and self-control,
self-determination, which affects not only writing, but also thinking and
character, and thus aspires to achieve radical transformations in the human
form of life.

All are invited to join the upcoming meeting of the *Styles and Method in

*Abstract*

Since the early phases of the New Science, natural philosophers and
mathematicians embraced fantastical stories and imaginary scenarios in
order to undermine the traditional and well-entrenched Aritotelian and
Ptolemaic systems of the world. Whether in Kepler's Somnium, or Galileo
imaginary experiments, or Descartes' fictitious world-system, the
assumption was that, in Shakepeare's words, only by "transfiguring" the
audience's mind "so together" can a great constancy  grow. This utopian
notion that in traveling to another fantastical place one can learn the
truth about one's own world pervaded much of 17th century scientific
thought in its aspiration to fashion a new world-picture. Beginning with
the 1660's, however, the notion of a fantastic travel became leverage for
criticizing and exposing the vain presumptuousness of the "New Science".
Margaret Cavendish, in her Blazing World, blatantly attacked the Royal
Society, mocking its reliance on such instruments as the telescope and the
microscope. The Jesuit Gabriel Daniel, in his Voiage du Monde de Descartes,
used the trope of space traveling to ridicule the French philosophers'
system of the world. Thus, at the end of the 17th century, leading savants
such as Fontenelle or Huygens turned to speculate on planetary worlds,
marginalizing the role of fantasy and instead seeking to establish a new
astronomical and physical commonsense.

*Speaker*

*Du style en philosophie, à partir de Descartes* *- entretien avec* *Denis

Dans ce séminaire, nous nous intéressons aux analogies, décalages ou
rapprochements possibles entre la notion de style et celle de méthode.
Dans ce cadre, quelle est la place de Descartes en tant que « penseur de la
méthode » ? Peut-on soutenir que le style, en tant que « manière de penser
» trouve chez Descartes sa figure fondatrice : celui-ci, plus qu’aucun
autre philosophe moderne avant lui, ayant explicitement lié et plié la
pensée et le style à l'exigence de clarté ?  Y-a-t-il un rapport entre
l’architecture syntaxique de la langue cartésienne et sa pensée ?  Dans
quelle mesure le « style Descartes » a été repris/reproduit ou est-il
l’expression d’un style philosophique qui va bien au-delà de son créateur?


Dans cette séance nous avons l’honneur de discuter ces questions avec M.
Denis Kambouchner, spécialiste de Descartes et de la philosophie moderne.
Professeur émérite à l’Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, il a dirigé,
chez Gallimard, l’édition des *Œuvres complètes* de Descartes, et il est
l’auteur de très nombreux ouvrages en histoire de la philosophie (nous
rappelons *Descartes et la philosophie morale*, Hermann, 2001 et *Descartes
n’a pas dit*, Les Belles-Lettres, 2015). M. Kambouchner est aussi l’auteur
de *Le style de Descartes *(Manucius, 2013), livre qui constitue le point
de départ de notre entretien d’aujourd’hui, et qui permettra de dégager
quelques pistes de réflexion autour de Descartes et de la notion de style,
pour ensuite aborder plus largement la pensée moderne et la philosophie de
manière plus globale.

[Educasup] [TOMORROW] Lecture by Emilie Passignat (Ca' Foscari) | 12 May 2022 | Styles and Method in the Early-Modern and the Modern Period Seminar

2022-05-11 Thread Matteo Vagelli
All are invited to join the upcoming meeting of the *Styles and Method in

*'Manner: Connoisseurship and Taxonomy, Individual and Collective Identity'*

*Abstract*
The word "Mannerism" is relatively recent in the vocabulary of art history:
it appears in Italy during the first half of the nineteenth century. Though
it can be useful to elaborate the periodization of arts, Robert Rosenblum
has rightly referred to period markers as “semantic straitjackets”,
considering these tools hard to tolerate as well as quite impossible to
reject. “Mannerism” has a meaning deeply stigmatized and often pejorative
inherited from previous centuries, due to the evolution of the use of the
term Maniera in the art theory and criticism. The purpose of this paper is
thus to focus on some significant aspects of the history of “Maniera”, by
giving some new considerations on this key term of the artistic vocabulary.
This will aim to present some reflections on the adoption of the term
“Maniera” in the artistic literature of the 16 th Century, to highlight
some underlying theoretical problems that have so far been much too
neglected. Above all, “Maniera” was intrinsically linked to the notion of
imitation and has been particularly involved in the gradual emergence of
the concept of school, since its apparent polysemy follows from the
declination at different scales of what is specific to the individual and
collective artistic identity, in space, in time and in the choice of models.

[Educasup] Lecture by Gianna Pomata (Johns Hopkins) | 23 May 2022 | Styles and Method in the Early-Modern and the Modern Period Seminar

2022-05-21 Thread Matteo Vagelli
All are invited to join the upcoming meeting of the *Styles and Method in
the Early-Modern and the Modern Period Seminar*

*Gianna Pomata *(Johns Hopkins)
*'The unbearable lightness of thinking: theory as "capriccio" in
17th-century medicine'*

Date: *Monday 23 May 2022*
Time: *17.30-19.30 (CEST/Rome Time)*
Place: *Online* (Zoom)

*No registration needed. Please click *here
<http://unive.zoom.us/j/6569494316>* to attend the meeting*

*Abstract*
My contribution will focus on a surprising and hitherto unnoticed aspect of
early modern epistemology: the fact that the term “capriccio” was used in
17th-century natural philosophy and medicine to indicate conjecture,
hypothesis, or theory - in other words, as an antonym for observation. The
term conveyed, in this context, a negative view of theory as mere opinion
or “fancy”. Indeed, it carried some of the flavor of arbitrariness and
unruliness that the word “caprice” was acquiring, in the same years, in the
language of political theorists, particularly with the critics of the
absolutist state. Right at the same time, in striking contrast, “capriccio”
was acquiring a strongly positive currency in the arts. Starting with music
in the 16th century, the term “capriccio” was extended to the visual arts
and then to literature, to indicate a fashionable multimedia genre
associated with liberty of form - “a genre that combined order and chaos”.
It appears then that a “capricious” style became fashionable in the arts
right when it was being frowned upon in the sciences. What was the meaning
of these parallel and contrasting trends? I will argue that the negative
meaning of “capriccio” in the sciences indicated:

1) the changing relationship of theory and observation in the 17th century,
which strongly privileged observation over theory;
2) the beginning of a divergence between acceptable styles of thinking in
scientific and artistic cultures, which would more fully develop in later
periods.

[Educasup] Lecture by Isabelle Kalinowski (ENS) | 17 October 2022 | Styles in the Arts and in the Sciences Seminar

2022-10-17 Thread Matteo Vagelli
All are invited to join the upcoming meeting of the *Styles in the Arts and

*Abstract*
In the 1830s, German architect Gottfried Semper (1803–1879) took part in
the historical movement of rediscovery of ancient architectural polychromy.
His main interest, however, was not limited to demonstrating the historical
existence of polychromy: he wanted to explain the function of color and to
find an interpretation of the décor’s necessity. He argued that polychromy
has essentially to do with memory: the colored décor is a reminiscence of
an origin which is more structural than strictly historical. The elements
of décor are always linked to something which is remembered: not only to an
event in the people’s history, or to a symbolic value, but to the memory of
architecture itself. It refers to another material. From the end of the
1840s onward, Semper identifies this architectural memory as a reminiscence
of “textile.” In his major work, Style (1860–1863), he refines his
conception of genealogy: according to him, the process of material
metamorphosis accounts for the agency of architecture. In this lecture, I
will explore Semper’s theory of style as material memory as well as the
function of Stoffwechsel (metabolism) or migration from one material
technique to another in its discontinuity and nomadic history.

*Abstract*
Swiss-German art historian Heinrich Wölfflin (1864-1945) is usually
considered, along with Alois Riegl, Aby Warburg and Erwin Panofsky, to be
one of the founding fathers of scientific art history (Kunstwissenschaft)
in the early 20th century. His Principles of Art History, published in
1915, has been one of the most influential books in the history of the
discipline. Yet, despite the recent celebration of the centenary of its
publication, and its retranslation into English by the Getty Research
Institute, this work still triggers strong opposition within the
art-historical community: for a century, Wölfflin’s book has regularly been
criticized for his so-called “formalist” approach to artistic styles—an
approach that is generally deemed to be blind to the social, political and
ideological context of the creation of the works of art. Against such
interpretations, I aim to show that Wölfflin’s formalism is merely
“tactical”. In the Principles of Art History, he turns away from the
analysis of the content of the works to better grasp the inherent meaning
of their form. His definition of style as Sehform (“form of seeing”), which
owes much to the legacy of Goethe’s morphology, does not separate form and
meaning, but apprehends form as the manifestation of meaning itself.

*Abstract*
The German-speaking “Kunstwissenschaft” around the turn of the century
(Riegl, Wölfflin and others) put forward a theory of style which suggested,
although in an ambiguous way, a connection between styles of visual
representation and styles of perception. Such “aisthesiological” approach
found in Walter Benjamin and Erwin Panofsky two opposite interpretations:
while the latter strongly opposed that connection, the former welcomed it
and further articulated it in the direction of the notion of the historical
character of perception. My paper will address this controversial
constellation, following its successive developments in contemporary
aesthetics (both on the analytic and the continental sides).

*Abstract*
La connaissance est profondément ancrée dans l'existence des sujets, elle
est, comme dit l'existentialisme, "située". De cette situation, et de ce
qu'en fait le sujet de la connaissance, découle un style particulier, une
façon toujours originale de produire des idées. Prendre ainsi les choses
suppose de brouiller les lignes, traditionnellement distinguées en France,
du sujet et du concept, et de s'essayer à une extension de
l'existentialisme pour qu'il s'intéresse à des questions de connaissance,
en l'amenant à se demander comment on forme des idées en se formant comme
sujet. Symétriquement, on procéderait dans le même temps à une torsion de
l'épistémologie pour qu'elle fasse une place aux conditions existentielles
de production des connaissances: le sujet de la connaissance est un sujet
au sens fort du terme, dont la subjectivité et les conditions concrètes
d'existence doivent être prises en compte épistémologiquement.

[Educasup] [AAC/CFP] 5èmes Journées d'études sur l'Epistémo logie Historique (Paris, 16-18 mai 2019)

2018-12-19 Thread Matteo Vagelli
t des Sciences Juridique et Philosophique de la Sorbonne (UMR 8103,
Paris 1)







For a few decades, the questions raised by biology and medicine have taken
a central place in the philosophical reflection at the international scale.
The bio-medical sciences have become (once again) a privileged object of
study within different research traditions such as historical epistemology
and analytic philosophy. If the interest for living beings and for life
itself has always been part and parcel of historical epistemology, as is
testified by the works of Auguste Comte or Georges Canguilhem, this
interest is on the contrary a more recent interest for
analytically-oriented philosophy. Against this background, the emergence,
since the 1980s, of philosophy of biology is even more remarkable.


A particularly relevant aspect of these new researches on biology and
medicine is their ambition to intervene as directly as possible in the
latest scientific debates. It is as if the development of science – and in
particular that of molecular biology and of the theory of evolution –
renewed the need to question traditional categories, such as that of
“organism”, “individual” and “species”, or of more recent ones, more
prominently those of “gene” and “cell”.


This particular position of biology is the reason why it is at the
crossroad of many areas of research concerning normativity and the status
of norms (including meta-ethics), including debates over the respective
roles of nature and social forces in defining these norms. It is thereby no
surprise that the developments of biology continue to represent new ethical
and political challenges for societies. The impressive development of
medical and bio-medical technologies


Finally, the identity of the bio-medical sciences is confronted directly
with the problem of the possibility of an authentic science of the living.
This question has crossed a good part of the history of philosophy, from
Kant to Rheinberger and Müller, through Bergson and Canguilhem. The old
alternative between mechanism and vitalism demands today to be reworked,
especially under the light of the organic perspectives directly connected,
according to some, to the emergence of systematic or integrative biology.


These are the themes that will be at the center of the 5th Workshop on
historical epistemology. Like in the previous years, we would like the
theme to be an occasion of encounter between philosophers and historians of
science with different methodological approaches. In other terms, we would
like to receive propositions adopting, in different proportions, historical
and/or analytical approaches to the critical clarification of some of the
most central concepts of the bio-medical sciences. Once again, particular
attention will be given to those interventions proposing a discussion of
the distinction as well as of the possible exchanges between historical
epistemology and the analytical tradition, that is, in the case at stake,
between a “philosophical biology” and a “philosophy of biology”.



Proposals (500 words plus a short presentation of the candidate) must be

[Educasup] Revue de Philosophie Économique/Review of Economic Philosophy

2020-02-05 Thread Matteo Vagelli
Chères collègues, chers collègues,

nous vous prions de bien vouloir trouver ci-dessus les details de l'appel à
contributions que nous avons lancé sur cette liste il y a quelque jour (la
pièce jointe n'était pas passée).

En vous priant de bien vouloir accepter nos excuses pour ce double envoi,

*Étudier la pensée économique par le prisme de l’épistémologie historique *



Numéro spécial de la revue de philosophie économique



Coordinateurs :

Sina Badiei (Collège International de Philosophie /Université de Paris)

Matteo Vagelli (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)


L’hypothèse de départ de ce numéro est la suivante : pour rouvrir le
dialogue entre la pensée économique et ses critiques, ne pourrait-on pas
faire droit, de manière plus nette, à l’ancrage historique et
épistémologique de la pensée économique ? Cette hypothèse procède d’un
constat simple : beaucoup de questions qui font actuellement débat dans la
pensée économique sont en réalité assez anciennes. Pour n’en donner qu’un
exemple, la question du rapport entre la psychologie et l’économie a non
seulement été une question centrale au moment de l’émergence du
marginalisme, mais elle a également constitué l’un des moments centraux de
l’œuvre séminale d’Adam Smith sur les sentiments moraux. Mobiliser
l’histoire de la pensée économique pour mettre en relief certains de ses
problèmes actuels pourrait, dans ce cadre, jouer un rôle majeur.

Cet ancrage historique ne peut toutefois suffire à rouvrir le dialogue
entre les économistes et leurs détracteurs actuels. En effet, il ne suffit
pas de connaître l’histoire de la pensée économique pour répondre aux
critiques adressées à l’économie. Il faut également s’armer contre toute
forme d’anachronisme, par la constitution de repères épistémologiques
solides. Or il nous semble que l’approche ici requise, qui doit être à la
fois historique et épistémologique, pourrait tirer profit de l’étude et de
la discussion de l’épistémologie dite historique, associée en France aux
noms de Gaston Bachelard et de Georges Canguilhem. Selon ces deux
philosophes, l’étude des sciences du point de vue de l’épistémologie
historique implique de s’intéresser aux obstacles épistémologiques et aux
problèmes que ces sciences ont dû surmonter pour atteindre leur état
actuel. Il nous semble que cette attitude pourrait être féconde pour la
pensée économique. Ainsi, le fil conducteur de ce numéro spécial
consisterait à réfléchir aux enjeux et au sens d’une étude de l’histoire de
la pensée économique du point de vue des obstacles épistémologiques et des
problèmes qu’elle a croisés au cours de son histoire.

Une telle approche permettrait de comprendre dans quelle mesure certains
problèmes actuels auxquels est confrontée la pensée économique sont
commensurables avec certains problèmes rencontrés dans le passé. Dans un
tel cas de figure, il semble possible d’évaluer de façon critique, à l’aune
de l’histoire des problèmes, les réponses actuellement apportées par la
science économique à ces mêmes problèmes. Une telle critique aurait
l’avantage d’être immanente, c’est-à-dire qu’elle serait formulée à partir
des problèmes qui ont surgi au cours de l’histoire de la pensée économique
elle-même, et non pas de façon extérieure et surplombante. Elle permettrait
également de confronter les réponses actuellement apportées par la pensée
économique à certains problèmes avec d’autres réponses développées dans le
cours de son histoire. Autrement dit, la pensée économique abordée par le
prisme de l’épistémologie historique permettrait d’examiner la pensée
économique de façon normative et critique, bien que de son propre point de
vue, à savoir du point de vue des problèmes et des difficultés dont on peut
constater qu’ils se sont déjà posés dans l’histoire de la pensée
économique.


Eu égard au caractère véritablement fructueux des travaux qui ont mobilisé,
dans leur étude de la pensée économique, l’épistémologie historique telle
que nous la concevons, nous estimerions très précieux de pouvoir dédier un
numéro spécial de la revue de philosophie économique à cette approche, afin
de lui donner davantage de poids et de convaincre de jeunes chercheurs qui
travaillent sur la pensée économique de l’intérêt que présente cette
manière plutôt sous-représentée de travailler sur la philosophie de
l’économie. Enfin et surtout, ce numéro pourrait constituer une tentative
sérieuse pour renouveler l’épistémologie historique, en tant qu’elle est
une approche philosophique et épistémologique au sens large du terme.



Le numéro tel que nous l’envisageons ne prendra pas la forme d’une série
d’articles qui discuteront de façon abstraite le rapport entre la pensée
économique et l’épistémologie historique française. Il s’agirait au
contraire de publier une série d’articles incarnant de façon concrète cette

In recent years, normativity and the status of norms have been at the
center of several key debates in both the Continental and analytical
traditions.. The question of normativity encompasses contentious issues
touching various areas, including philosophy of biology, philosophy of mind
and cognition, as well as metaethics. The development of disciplines tied
to evolution (such as evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, etc.)
as well as to the organisation of living beings (such as system biology)
has driven a new interest and led to the introduction of crucial new
perspectives into the philosophical conversation on norms.

Within this framework, the relation between norms and the phenomenon of life
has become central: various thinkers coming from different philosophical
traditions have analysed the problem of normativity from the premise that
norms originate within life or the living organism and are tied to
functions, or located norms in an evolutionary framework. Arguments from
the life sciences have powerfully entered the debate not only in philosophy
of medicine but also in metaethics..

We intend this special issue to open space for dialogue between
philosophers and historians of science with different methodological
approaches to normativity and its relation to the life sciences. By putting
Continental, historical, and analytical approaches to vital normativity in
conversation, the special issue aims to provide a synoptic view that sheds
new light on individual topics, such as the origins and status of
normativity in life or the strategies for naturalising norms offered by the
theoretical framework of the life sciences. This dialogue will mobilize the
work of Canguilhem, and, through him, the approach fostered by historical
epistemology. It will engage analogous questions emerging from a classical
German context. Literature on classical German philosophy and the problem
of living normativity is abundant and scholarship on Canguilhem biology and
vitalism is growing steadily, but no relevant connection between them has
yet been drawn. This special issue will bring these two strands together
and connect them with contemporary Anglo-American debates on the
naturalisation of norms.

Topics for submitted papers might include, but are not limited to:


   -

   Normativity and explanation in the life sciences
   -

   Forms and accounts of biological normativity
   -

   The notion of “function”: philosophical and historical perspectives
   -

   Norms and evolution
   -

   Historical reflection on normativity, life and cognition (in areas such
   as French Epistemology, Classical German Philosophy, etc.)
   -

   Vital normativity and the epistemology of the life sciences
   -

   Teleology and its normative import: philosophical and historical aspects
   -

   The relation between social and vital norms

[Educasup] New Focus section "Ian Hacking and the Historical Reason of the Sciences" (Philinq IX, 1-2021)

2021-03-01 Thread Matteo Vagelli
Dear all,

We are very glad to announce the release of a new issue of *Philosophical
Inquiries *(IX, 1-2021). The issue features a Focus section discussing Ian
Hacking's philosophy,  his arguments on the combination between history and
philosophy of science, on experimental realism, on scientific stability and
on the disunity of the sciences. The Focus section is edited by Matteo
Vagelli and Marica Setaro. The issue also presents Gaston Bachelard's
introduction to his *Le rationalisme appliqué *translated into English for
the first time.

[Educasup] JGPS 52/1 special section on pluralism

2021-05-10 Thread Matteo Vagelli
Dear all,

We are very glad to announce the release of a new special section of
the *Journal
for General Philosophy of Science *(52/1, March 2021).

The special section aims to emphasize the pivotal role of the history of
science for pluralism. Instead of reverting to abstract speculation about
an idealized conception of science and of scientific knowledge, the papers
presented here draw decisive insights from the ways in which science was
actually conducted. These insights open up new ways not only of seeing the
past of these sciences but also, and more fundamentally, of shaping present
and future science.

The special section is edited by Matteo Vagelli, Laurent Loison and Ivan
Moya-Diez.

[Educasup] CFP - 7th International Workshop on Historical Epistemology: Arts and Sciences, Historicizing Boundaries (Venice, 9-10 June 2022)

2022-02-01 Thread Matteo Vagelli
istorical epistemology *Can the arts/science dyad be an object of
   inquiry for historical epistemology? What are the larger epistemological
   and sociological goals that the dyad underpins or tries to respond to? Can
   we still talk of there being “two cultures”? Are there more than two? Or is
   there only one undifferentiated culture? To what extent is the term
   “culture” even appropriate? We welcome contributions tracing the
   trajectories of debates that have drawn the two poles of this dyad together
   or pushed them apart.
   2. *Philosophy/methodology* What can an historicized approach to
   epistemology teach us about the boundary lines or relationship between the
   arts and the sciences? What do the concepts of "style" and "method" have in
   common and what distinguishes them from each other? Contributions should
   propose ways of rethinking topics at the intersection of the two
   activities, such as representation, progress, perception, theory change,
   analogies, the role of “method”, the affordances of techniques and
   technologies, and differences between scientific invention/discovery and
   artistic creation.
   3. *History of historical epistemology* Bachelard, Canguilhem, Foucault
   or Granger are only examples: how have historical epistemologists writ
   large taken up this issue? Contributions might address thinkers coming from
   the French tradition or who employ the later historical epistemological
   approach that emerged from research groups at the Max Planck Institute for
   the History of Science or from other strands of epistemology that reflected
   on the divide between the arts and the sciences.

Proposals (500 words plus a short presentation of the candidate) must be
sent *by March 15, 2022* (notification of acceptance or refusal by March

*Abstract*
The reflection on style in Nietzsche's philosophical work cannot be
circumscribed to a specific period. It is in fact one of the most important
leitmotifs of his œuvre, whose treatment, almost never systematic, is
entrusted to anecdotes, mottos and quick remarks. Starting with his first
study of the complex artificiality and conventionality of ancient
literatures, Nietzsche lays the foundations for his future reflections on
philosophical language and the great style. This "dispersed" form, however,
in no way diminishes the theoretical weight of the considerations on style
and modes of writing in Nietzsche's work. The aesthetic paradigm of the
Greek literary work, its rigid formalism and exaggerated normativity to
which the entire expressive potential of the artwork was entrusted,
increasingly takes the form of an ethical paradigm in Nietzsche's
reflection. The "unnatural naturalness" of the great style, the creative
freedom within the closed realm of convention, which Nietzsche borrows from
the experience of ancient rhetoric, drives him to conceive, through words
and writings, an ethics of self-determination, a character-shaping action
of stylistic choices. In contrast to the popular view according to which
Nietzsche is the philosopher of irrationality, he concentrates all his
efforts on the codification of a theory of education and self-control,
self-determination, which affects not only writing, but also thinking and
character, and thus aspires to achieve radical transformations in the human
form of life.
