Acad. Mircea Dumitru va participa în calitate de keynote speaker cu prelegerea „Frames of Utopias. From Nozick to Us and Beyond” la The 34th Annual Conference of Academia Europaea (AE) and 12th of the Young Academy of Europe, 9-11 October 2023
Building upon some of Nozick’s views on the role of utopias in setting up a political theory and philosophy, the paper explores the concept of the frames of utopias. I assess the methodological virtues of this concept pointing out inapparent but fertile analogies between the work of the concept of frames in the philosophy of utopias and the corresponding work of the very same concept in the contemporary metaphysics of modality and especially in the metalogic of modal logic. The talk is philosophical and keeps the more technical discussion about the concept of frames in modal logic at an acceptable semi-formal level. The upshot is to show how concepts and methods from metaphysics of modality and modal logic can do some important work in political philosophy, especially in the utopian studies.
