From louise at lexacademic.com Tue Apr 6 04:59:47 2021 From: louise at lexacademic.com (Louise Chapman) Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2021 18:59:47 +0000 Subject: [SydPhil] Philosophy proofreading services Message-ID: Dear list-members, As many members of this list will know, I offer first-rate copy-editing, proofreading, and indexing services to philosophers and classicists. I have considerable experience editing history of philosophy in particular, and now spearhead a small team of PhD-educated editors, all of whom have advanced Latin and/or ancient Greek. My own University of Cambridge Ph.D. is on Plato and Kant?s moral psychology. I also hold a master?s degree from the University of Oxford in ancient Greek philosophy (supervised with Distinction by Professor Terence Irwin). My editorial support has helped hundreds of academics (along with postdoctoral researchers and PhD students) publish their work with the leading journals and publishing houses in our discipline, including Mind, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, European Journal of Philosophy, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, as well as many of the top ancient philosophy journals. I have recently edited manuscripts (including multi-authored edited volumes) for Oxford University Press, Brill, and Routledge. I have, in addition, created several bespoke indexes for Cambridge University Press and Palgrave Macmillan, amongst others. I have consistently received five-star reviews. It would be my pleasure to extend these services to new members of our community. I look forward to exceeding your expectations and providing exceptional value for money.

The meeting will take place on Friday, April 9 10-11:30am Sydney time (that?s Thursday, April 8 8-9:30pm in the eastern US). The abstract is posted at the end of this email. To receive a Zoom link, please sign up for Critical Antiquities Network announcements here. Please note, if you have already subscribed to the mailing list, you will receive the Zoom link and need not sign up again. Best wishes, Tristan Bradshaw and Ben Brown Abstract: Aristotle?s emphasis in Politics 7 on engineering the bodily as well as psychical character of citizens recommends comparison with contemporary theories of biopolitics, a comparison Mika Ojakangas has drawn with particular clarity (Ojakangas 2016). To be sure, Aristotle?s eugenics legislation is designed to hold the generation of life under the harness of the political partnership. But it is far from clear that bios is the sole, or even main, target here and, as Brooke Holmes has pointed out (Holmes, 2019), we should guard against assuming too quickly the synonymy of the Greek bios and the prefix ?bio-.? When, in the central books of the Politics, Aristotle considers the various forms that collectives of humans may take, he does so precisely in order to observe the differences both between and within kinds, and the work these differences do in forming communities with very particular characters. Aristotle?s emphasis on different kinds of human collectives connects his political theorizing with his zoological research, and with broader cultural tropes that treat vitality in close proximity to vividness. That is to say, while the specific legislation Aristotle designs invites comparison with biopolitical concerns, the end at which this legislation aims is determined within a conception of z?? whose political valence has not yet been fully charted. This paper develops a genealogical lens for viewing Aristotle?s thinking about the nature of the human multitude. The examples of political animals Aristotle offers in the History of Animals?bees, wasps, ants, and cranes (1.1.487b33)?figure prominently in the Iliad?s depictions of Achaean and Trojan forces, who are likened to swarms and flocks and herds of all kinds. When we examine the imagery Homer employs to depict the actions of the collective Achaean and Trojan forces, we encounter an iconography of shared life that profoundly shaped how Aristotle thinks about the work of the polis. My primary claim is that Aristotle?s sense of the sharing of the perception of justice as the common deed that comprises human political life is informed by an Iliadic model, the harnessing of aisth?sis and logos alike for the pursuit of a common task. And, as with Aristotle, the root of this model is found in the very conception of living as it is accomplished by a variety of animal kinds. In both cases, living emerges as a collectively pursued enterprise requiring fluid combinations of coalescences and diffusions of force and capacity, a variety of ?organizations? in a very particular sense. Prior to the reduction of people to things so powerfully observed by Simone Weil, armies have become packs and swarms, heroes have become walls and rivers, peoples have become sand and stars. I aim, then, to trace the model of political power?as the power to generate what Homer calls the ?boundless people [d?mos apeir?n]? (24.776)?that emerges from out of the animal imagery for human collective action employed throughout the Iliad, in order to illuminate the conception of z?? that undergirds Aristotle?s understanding of the formation of people and that complicates our assessment of the ?biopolitical? character of Aristotle?s thought.

The leading answer in ethics is that value might vary with context: A can have a higher value when compared to B than when compared to C. I argue that nontransitivity is possible even if values don?t vary, so long as they are complex, with multiple dimensions aggregated non-additively. I then explore a new hypothesis: that all alleged cases of nontransitive betterness, such as Parfit?s Repugnant Conclusion, can and should be modeled as the result of complexity, not context-relativity.----------------Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/82620418372Or iPhone one-tap :    US: +13126266799,,82620418372# or +13462487799,,82620418372# Or Telephone:    Dial(for higher quality, dial a number based on your current location)?        US: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 646 558 8656 or +1 669 900 6833 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 301 715 8592     Meeting ID: 826 2041 8372    International numbers available: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/u/kchTAjTi8UOr an H.323/SIP room system:    Dial: 82620418372 at zoom.aarnet.edu.au    or SIP:82620418372 at zmau.us    or 103.122.166.55    Meeting ID: 82620418372Or Skype for Business (Lync):    https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/skype/82620418372Need help using Zoom?
