        Rethinking Colonial Legacies in Philosophies of Migration [EN] 45m

        Philosophies of migration today face the challenge of decolonization. Despite the formal abolition of colonial rule, its historical legacy continues to shape contemporary trends in migration, border control regimes, as well as our conceptual frameworks thinking about them. This history and legacy, however, has gone largely unnoticed by dominant philosophies of migration. In this lecture I explore what it means to take seriously the decolonization challenge in philosophy and to rethink theories of migration, our conception of the migrant and the responsibilities of states, in its light.

        Short bio

        WS17 European institutions as an exhibit of cultural melange, the interaction between confronting heritages and the results of diversity on various levels (Student - EN) 45m

        Title: European institutions as an exhibit of cultural melange, the interaction between confronting heritages and the results of diversity on various levels

        Description: European institutions stand as nuanced exhibitions of cultural amalgamation, wherein diverse heritages intersect, influencing outcomes across multiple levels. This interplay shapes policies, societal interactions, and collective identities, portraying the intricate and evolving nature of European societies. Hence, questions like “What is considered morally correct?” and “How do people with different cultural values confront each other?” come up.
        Nowadays, diversity is preached like never before, but does this depend on individual perspectives? To what extent is society willing to embrace diversity, and what are the boundaries and limits? These questions will be examined by taking a closer look at consequential policies and conflicts and how those get individually perceived.

        WS01 Prof. Louis MILLER (EN) 45m

        Title: Rights and Religion

        Description: In this seminar, I’ll review some concrete debates and areas in which religious belief or practice or both have been felt to be in conflict with a shared modern understanding of human rights. Without pretending to offer a resolution to these debates, I will try to contextualise them by offering some reflections on the wider question of the relationship between Christianity and modernity.

        Speaker: Philosophy, History, and Ethics teacher, EEB4.
        After attending a Jesuit high school in Philadelphia, I studied philosophy and German literature as an undergraduate at Columbia before completing a PhD at Princeton in modern European intellectual history, writing a dissertation on Nietzsche. After 14 years of university teaching in the US at the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and the 'Great Books' school St John's College (Annapolis, Maryland), I moved to Brussels in 2007, where for the past 15 years I have enjoyed being a secondary school teacher. I've been at EEB4 since 2015.

        WS02 Prof. Martin STONE (EN) 45m

        Title: Moral Conflicts: Do they exist? And can they be resolved?

        Description:  This workshop with review the debate in English-speaking ethics about the nature and status of moral dilemmas. Tracking the discussion from the seminal contribution of Bernard Williams in 1965, it will consider whether moral conflicts are genuine and whether their existence poses significant theoretical problems for historically dominant paradigms of normative ethics such as Kantian deontology and Utilitarian consequentialism. The workshop will also consider several philosophical insights on significant occasions of moral choice advanced by ancient thinkers, specifically Aristotle and Cicero. The presentation will conclude by comparing and contrasting ‘modern’ characterizations of dilemmas with ‘ancient’ perspectives on moral conflicts. It will argue that the ancient characterization of the highly contingent nature of decision-making in cases of duress is much more faithful to the reality of our lived experience, than the more rigid conceptions of moral choice advanced by many modern moral philosophers.

        Speaker: Mr. Stone studied classics, biblical languages, and philosophy at the universities of Cambridge, Paris and London. He also holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of London. He has taught philosophy, ethics and classics at EEB1 since 2011.

        WS03 Prof. Marco MANTOVANI (EN) 45m

        Title: Machiavelli and conflict: the persistence of the origin

        Description: In Machiavelli's political reflection, conflict is not a pre-political residue to be eliminated through politics, but rather the permanent origin from which politics constantly re-emerges in view of an increasing conquest of freedom.

        Speaker: Marco Mantovani studied philosophy at the Catholic University of Milan (Italy) and obtained a PhD in Philosophy of Social Sciences at the University of Varese (Italy). Nietzsche's philosophy is his main area of research. Before being seconded to the Brussels European School II, he taught philosophy and history in his hometown at the high school where he had been a student.

        WS04 Prof. Luca DI PAOLA (EN) 45m

        Title: Conflict and Diversity in Britain Black Women’s political reflections on immigration and citizenship

        Description: The goal of the presentation is to tackle some of the most important political reflections of the Black Women’s Movement in Britain after WWII concerning immigration, work and citizenship. The migration flows from the Caribbean and the Southeast Asia, which were strongly influenced by the decolonization process, changed the social composition of the British society. London quickly became the center for radical activists coming from the British colonies. Their experiences and discrimination based on race, class and gender laid the ground for the development of critical reflections on their own identity and on the immigration and citizenship policies that were trying to define who was British and who was not. By analyzing the Black British Women’s critique of the nationality and immigration system, the aim of the presentation is to reflect on how the contemporary European immigration policies define who is part of that community and on the multicultural and diverse composition of our society.

        Speaker: Luca Di Paola obtained his PhD in International Studies at the University of Naples “L’Orientale” with a thesis in contemporary history titled Black Women in Britain Speak Out: il Movimento delle donne di discendenza africana e asiatica tra migrazioni, anti-imperialismo, lavoro e cittadinanza nell’Inghilterra del secondo dopoguerra (1945-1985). During his PhD, research was done on the oral and written sources at the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton, where he focused on the political activism of afro Caribbean and Asian women in Britain, and the collections at the National Archives, at the Lambeth Archives, at the Institute of Race Relations and at the George Padmore Institute. He was a visiting scholar at the University of Reading and he participated in several international conferences, such as the Summer School “Black Europe”, held in Amsterdam, and the conference “Gender and Public Space” at the University of Rouen.

        His research interests focus on migrations, racism, postcolonialism and black feminism. In 2020 he wrote an essay, titled “Claudia Jones : tra comunismo, femminismo e anti-imperialismo”, which was published in the book “Marx nei margini. Dal marxismo nero al femminismo postcoloniale”, edited by an italian editor, Alegre.

        WS05 Mrs Connie HELDER (EN) 45m

        Title: A good kind of rhetoric: Recovering the lost art of dialogue

        Description: Is meaningful dialogue possible in a world governed by competing worldviews and personal truths? The rhetoric of the sophist seeks to convince without truth, while Platonic rhetoric sees the search for truth as an act of love. Can this ancient debate speak to the way we approach conflict and diversity in the 21st century?

        Speaker: Connie Helder is a teacher of Philosophy and English at the European School Bergen

        WS06 Mr Jonathan SOSKIN (FR) 45m

        Title: L'indiscutable

        Description: Je voudrais déplier un paradoxe : c’est dans les sociétés où l’on peut en droit discuter de tout que semblent se multiplier aujourd’hui les points où « on ne peut plus discuter ». Faut-il conclure avec stupeur, comme dans l’histoire du gruyère et des trous, que plus il y a de discussion, moins il y a de discussion ?...

        Il est en tout cas tentant de voir dans ces impasses de nos dialogues des résidus ou des remontées locales d’obscurantisme ou de totalitarisme dont la raison communicationnelle aurait à venir à bout pour soigner le vivre-ensemble. Mon hypothèse est doublement opposée : ce n’est ni possible ni souhaitable. Les points de nos conversations où l’échange d’arguments semble vain signalent parfois des limites de droit et non seulement de fait à la discussion. Mais justement parce que ces points-limites dessinent des figures de l’indiscutable intérieures et non extérieures à l’activité de discuter, ils ne constituent pas des obstacles à éradiquer dans l’épanouissement de la rationalité en démocratie mais au contraire ses points vitaux.
        J’en tirerai deux pistes d’orientation inverses mais complémentaires quant aux manières d’articuler le conflit et la diversité.

        Speaker: Jonathan Soskin vit à Bruxelles. Dans le cadre du travail qu’il mène depuis quatre ans à l’ASBL PhiloCité, il donne des ateliers de philosophie principalement avec des enfants, des jeunes et des primo-arrivants, ainsi que des formations dans les secteurs de l’éducation, de l’intégration et de la culture.

        Description: This presentation will look into the nature of femicide, as well as identify and reflect on so-called red flags in intimate relationships. The aim is to challenge common ideas of love and good relationships.

        Speaker: Mrs Anastasia Balasi is ethics, human sciences and geography teacher at EEB2.
        She earned her BA in Philosophy from the University of Patras in Greece. During this time, she spent a semester at Charles University in Prague, and completed an internship at the Greek Gymnasium in Bielefeld, Germany. In 2017, she earned her MA in Philosophy at the KU Leuven. Two years after, she received her MA in Bioethics degree at the same institution. She has been teaching at EEB2 since 2018 and has contributed to the organization of Philo Day.

        Title:  Cultural diversity within one person. Double names in Hellenistic Mesopotamia

        Description:  

        Speaker: Tom Boiy started to study Ancient History out of love for the Romans; during these studies he got more and more interested in the empires of the successors of Alexander the Great and switched Assyriology to be able to use the cuneiform sources. When starting at the EEB4 11 years ago he found his first love again with Latin and Roman history and with this talk he is returning a bit to Mesopotamia and the Near East in general.

        Title: Activisme écologique - Mouvement non violent ou éco-terrorisme ?”

        Description: D'Extinction Rebellion à Sea Sheppard en passant par les Soulèvements de la Terre, de plus en plus de citoyens, partout dans le monde se mettent hors la loi pour interpeller les gouvernements afin qu'ils mènent une politique plus efficace pour lutter contre la crise climatique actuelle. Cette forme de militantisme se veut non violente. Mais certaines personnes n'hésitent pas à qualifier ce militantisme d'éco-terrorisme. Alors comment en est-on arrivé là ? La lutte contre la crise climatique peut-elle tout justifier ?

        Speaker: Prof. Man HUA studied Chemistry and launched the project Green School a couple of years ago at Laeken. With a Committee of pupils he succesfully introduced sustainable development objectives and initiatives, driving EEB4 to a Green school Label (2022).
