Journal of the History of Philosophy Summer Seminar: Kantian Epistemologies
Dates: July 11 – July 15, 2022
Location: Princeton University
Contact: Mariska Leunissen (mleunissen@unc.edu)
Deadline: February 15
Description: Most discussions of Kant’s epistemology focus on his famous arguments regarding knowledge of space and time, the categories and principles of pure understanding, and the limits of speculative knowledge. In this seminar, we will look at the theory of assent, justification, knowledge, and faith found in the Canon of Pure Reason chapter at the end of the first Critique as well as in the logic lectures. The goal is to understand these underdiscussed aspects of Kant’s theory of mind, knowledge, and faith, and to grasp how they fit into the overall critical project. We will also consider a few key contemporary efforts in broadly Kantian epistemology. Instructor: Andrew Chignell (Princeton University)

Integrating Phenomenology and Qualitative Research Methodologies
Dates: May 31st to June 3rd, 2022
Location: University of Southern Denmark, Odense, DK
Contact: Susanne Ravn (SRavn@health.sdu.dk)
Deadline: Rolling admission until full
Description: This course is intended for PhD students, post-docs, and other academics and researchers who work with phenomenology or intend to incorporate phenomenology into their qualitative research projects, including in the fields of philosophy, nursing, health care, sport, dance or the arts, among other fields. The course will be taught by faculty trained in philosophy and/or qualitative research who are experts on the integration of phenomenology and qualitative methods. We introduce phenomenology in an accessible manner and in a way that provides clear and productive avenues for concrete application. We sketch central criteria for good qualitative research and explain how one can apply phenomenology in qualitative research as well as how one can apply qualitative research in phenomenological analyses. The course focuses on methodological questions, practical exercises and possible solutions on how to combine qualitative methodologies with phenomenology.

Summer School on Truthmaker Semantics
Dates: June 13 – June 17, 2022
Location: USI, Lugano, Switzerland. Currently planned as an in-person event.
Contact: tmsemantics.summerschool@usi.ch
Deadline: January 15, 2022
Description: The course will provide the students with an overview of truthmaker semantics with special attention to some particular applications. It will begin with a comparison of three forms of truth-conditional semantics: possible worlds semantics, situation semantics and truthmaker semantics. It will then lay down the basic framework of the truthmaking approach. Here, the notions of a state space, of conjunctive and disjunctive part and of exact, inexact and loose verification will be introduced. The remainder of the course will be devoted to applications of the framework to such topics as counterfactuals, deontic logic and scalar implicature.
Instructors: Kit Fine (NYU) and Martin Glazier (Geneva)

The Metaphysics of Relations in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy
Dates: June 6 – June 10, 2022
Location: USI, Lugano, Switzerland. Currently planned as an in-person event.
Contact: relations.summerschool@usi.ch
Deadline: January 31, 2022
Description: In this summer school, we tackle a challenging topic: how ancient and medieval philosophers conceived of the metaphysics of relations. Our main aims are to map out the differences between ourselves and ancient thinkers over the ontology of the truth-makers of relational statements, and to consider whether one should accept the standard view, according to which medieval thinkers before the fourteenth century almost invariably considered relations to be so-called ‘monadic’ properties and to be real.
Instructors: John Marenbon (University of Cambridge) and
Anna Marmodoro (University of Durham and Oxford)
