URL: From philosophy at westernsydney.edu.au Wed Feb 15 10:06:59 2017 From: philosophy at westernsydney.edu.au (PhilosophyatWesternSydney) Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 23:06:59 +0000 Subject: [SydPhil] Remo Bodei, "Memory vs Forgetting" - respondent Douglas Moggach (March 15, State Library of NSW) Message-ID: The Italian Cultural Institute in Sydney, in collaboration with the Philosophy Research Initiative at Western Sydney University, presents Memory vs Forgetting: A conflicting complicity? A public lecture by Italian philosopher Remo Bodei. Memory and forgetting define the field in which a collective identity is created and legitimized. That field - the struggle of what is to be remembered, what forgotten - is sometimes fought on the battlefields of wars when we see that victors in history impose a forgetting of old beliefs. However, the defense of memory also has an ethical dimension, that is, the preserving of a more conscious - and therefore, more free - identity. Yet, despite their conflict, forgetting is just as indispensable to memory as memory is to forgetting. How can we chart their complicated relationship? Remo Bodei is professor of history of philosophy at the UCLA, and also teaches at the University of Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. He is the author of numerous books, such as The Logics of Delusion and The Life of Things, the Love of Things. The respondent will be Douglas Moggach, professor of political science and philosophy at the University of Ottawa and the author of The Philosophy and Politics of Bruno Bauer.

[The University of Sydney] Sydney Ideas Professor Stuart Kauffman [https://wordvine.sydney.edu.au/files/59/15180/images/custom/71884_Kauffman_wordvine.jpg] The Emergence and Evolution of Life Beyond Physics Professor Stuart Kauffman, theoretical biologist and complex systems researcher, emeritus professor of biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania Co-presented with the Centre for Complex Systems and the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science the University of Sydney The emergence and evolution of life is based on physics but is not reducible to physics. Prebiotic chemistry saw the evolution of many organic molecules in complex reaction networks, and the formation of structures such as membranes. Theory and experiments suggest that from this, self-reproducing molecular systems could arise and evolve. How and where these proto-organisms emerge cannot be stated in advance, and their emergence will create novel niches enabling further types of proto-organisms to evolve in ways that also cannot be stated in advance. Thus, the evolving biosphere literally constructs itself and is the most complex system we know in the universe. Full abstract ABOUT THE SPEAKER Professor Stuart Kauffman is one of the most distinguished scholars of complexity and the author of several acclaimed books, including The Origins of Order: Self Organization and Selection in Evolution (1993), At Home in the Universe: The Search for Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity (1995), and Humanity in a Creative Universe (2016).

All are welcome to join us. Phenomenological and narrative approaches to health and illness focus on the subjective experience of well-being, and the ways in which illnesses and their treatments can impact on self-experience. Such accounts raise a variety of philosophical questions. To what extent can features of phenomenology and narrative be used to characterise different disorders? What problems do we face in relying on such first-person accounts, and what insights can we gain? Can such characterisations be integrated with naturalistic accounts of health and illness? How should we understand the role of phenomenology and narrative in treatment, as in Narrative Therapy? This workshop will examine the role of phenomenological and narrative approaches across a range of cases. The goal is to develop a clearer account of the distinctive character of such approaches, the philosophical challenges they face, and the increased understanding they might provide. All talks will be held in building 25, room 150 on the University of Wollongong's main campus.
