The current Western cultural conte xt, which is marked by numerous challenges (war, f ake news, A.I., populism) and critiques (post-colo nialism, feminism, etc.), requires a reevalutation of the classic notion of rationality. They show t he limits of the classical notion, grounded on con cepts like objectivity, universality, argumentatio n, and causal relationships. But accepting every n ew conception without criteria seems to give way t o relativism, thus leading to a dilemma. The sympo sium "Engaging Rationality Today" aims at tackling this dilemma by creating a space of dialogue betw een various conceptions of rationality. To do so, it is not only a question of examing what rational ity is, but also, and above all, a question of stu dying the limits, blindspots, and problematic uses of the proposed definitions of rationality. The a im of the present project is to provide a comprehe nsive view of how rationality is currently underst ood, from various perspectives (philosophy, psycho logy, linguistics, etc.). We hope that by examinin g rationality’s multifaceted aspects, including wh at falls outside of the proposed definitions, cont ributors will be encouraged to reevalute their own defninitions through dialogue with others. True to our multidisciplinary goals, we invite a broad variety of approaches and methods and welcome rese archers from any background. If you would like to present, please submit an anomymous abstract (max. of 800 words) in a pdf format. In your application , please mention in which session (or sessions) yo ur contribution would be most appropriate. To hel p make each conception of rationality clearer and to facilitate the comparison between conceptions, we ask that each contribution spell out what the a uthor takes rationality to be, to not be, and what remains under-determined. In addition, contributi ons can (but do not have to) address one of the fo llowing pairs of guiding questions. They can also challenge the implied validity of these opposition s: What does rationality involve? What does it rul e out? How do we recognize it? What could rational ity also be? What are its applications and uses? W hat are its misapplications and misuses? Does it a ffect us? Can we resist it? What does it allow us to do? What does it keep us from doing? Does it ha ve diverse articulations? Or, for it to be rationa lity, must it always be exactly the same? X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

The inter national symposium "Engaging Rationality Toda y" will bring together specialists from multi ple disciplines (philosophy, logic, psychology, an thropology, linguistics, etc.) to reflect collecti vely on contemporary meanings and uses of rational ity. The current Western cultural context, which i s marked by numerous challenges (war, fake news, A .I., populism) and critiques (post-colonialism, fe minism, etc.), requires a reevalutation of the cla ssic notion of rationality. They show the limits o f the classical notion, grounded on concepts like objectivity, universality, argumentation, and caus al relationships. But accepting every new concepti on without criteria seems to give way to relativis m, thus leading to a dilemma. The symposium " Engaging Rationality Today" aims at tackling this dilemma by creating a space of dialogue betwe en various conceptions of rationality. To do so, i t is not only a question of examing what rationali ty is, but also, and above all, a question of stud ying the limits, blindspots, and problematic uses of the proposed definitions of rationality. The ai m of the present project is to provide a comprehen sive view of how rationality is currently understo od, from various perspectives (philosophy, psychol ogy, linguistics, etc.). We hope that by examining rationality’s multifaceted aspects, including wha t falls outside of the proposed definitions, contr ibutors will be encouraged to reevalute their own defninitions through dialogue with others.
