Speaker: Prof. Jean-Philippe Deranty (Philosophy, Macquarie) Abstract: In recent discussions of ?post-work society,? the features of work that are at issue are the relations of employment and the work ethic. But is work itself, as a specific type of activity, something humans could move ?beyond?? Can a human society exist without work? I consider a variety of arguments from anthropology, history and social theory to answer these questions in the negative. I consider the political implications of this perspective. If work is an intrinsic part of how humans live together, then I argue the problem is not how to move beyond it, but how to organize it.

Its principal purpose is the advancement of knowledge through teaching and research, which in turn brings enormous public benefit. The Macquarie University Research Centre for Agency, Values, and Ethics (CAVE) Annual Public Lecture by Professor Adrienne Stone, ?Academic Freedom and Democracy? will take a close look at a second rationale for academic freedom that lies in the connections between academic freedom and democracy. It will be argued that universities play an important role in support for democracy as independent sources of information and knowledge. In doing so, they are a valuable democratic resource for all citizens ? and not just for the members of a university community. In turn, however, universities themselves require a commitment to democratic government in a full sense. That is, universities thrive in societies that are truly committed to free academic inquiry, that are prepared to wear the discomfort that challenging independent thinkers can bring. As a result, academic freedom has a constitutional dimension and scholars should conceive of themselves and their universities as part of the infrastructure of democracy.

URL: From samuel.mcauliffe at monash.edu Thu Feb 24 13:43:53 2022 From: samuel.mcauliffe at monash.edu (Samuel McAuliffe) Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2022 13:43:53 +1100 Subject: [SydPhil] Reminder - Call for chapters: Gadamer, Music, and Philosophical Hermeneutics Message-ID: Dear Colleagues and scholars working on hermeneutics and/or music, A friendly reminder about the following call for chapters: I am currently seeking chapter proposals for a volume with the working title Gadamer, Music, and Philosophical Hermeneutics for submission to Springer as part of the Contributions to Hermeneutics series edited by Jeff Malpas and Claude Romano. I am in contact with the editors and they have expressed interest in publishing the volume, subject to positive review, of course. A brief, preliminary project overview is as follows: Philosophical hermeneutics is one of the most far-reaching philosophical disciplines of contemporary European thought, and yet, aside from a handful of a texts (Benson, 2003, 2006, 2019; Kramer, 2010; McAuliffe (forthcoming); Nielsen, 2015, 2016; Savage, 2009) it has received little attention from scholars concerned with music. The goal of this volume is to demonstrate how, principal founder of philosophical hermeneutics, Hans-Georg Gadamer?s thought can address and provide insight into contemporary issues and challenges in music. Further, given the way in which Gadamer himself develops his hermeneutics from a consideration of aesthetics, and the way in which recent commentary has noted the dialogical relationship between music and hermeneutics, this volume is also interested in uncovering ways in which a consideration of music can provide insight into the hermeneutical. While all proposals pitching an original Gadamerian perspective on music are welcome, priority will be given to proposals that take up ideas from both music and Gadamer?s philosophy to address fundamental ontological questions of relevance to contemporary issues facing both music and philosophical scholarship. Status of proposal: I am in discussion with the editors of the Contributions to Hermeneutics series, and I will send the book proposal to them for review after reviewing proposals and shaping the structure of the book. Email your proposal to sam.mcauliffe at monash.edu by 13 March 2022. Proposals should be approximately 1 page, including chapter title, abstract (1-2 paragraphs), proposed word count (typically 5,000-8,000 words), and short bio. Full draft chapters due: late September 2022, actual date & timeline TBC. *Please feel free to distribute this among your interested colleagues and networks - I am seeking chapters by philosophers, musicians, music educators, musicologists, and other researchers who draw on Gadamer?s thought.
