Planned Activities
This INDAM Intensive Period will be divided into three sessions on different topics, the timetable is available here
1) "Vertex algebras, W-algebras, and applications" from December 9th to December 23th 2014 and from January 12th to January 18th 2015 (seminars and mini-courses);
2) "Lie Theory and Representation Theory'' from January 19th to February 6th 2015 (seminars and mini-courses);
3) "Algebraic topology, geometric and combinatorial group theory'' from February 8th 2015 to February 28th 2015 (seminars and mini-courses).
The idea of the Intensive Period is to have some interesting mini courses for PhD students and researchers and regular talks, but also time for discussions and collaboration in the beautiful setting of the city of Pisa. A preliminary calendar of the mini-courses is available here.
There will be other special activities organized during the intensive period: A Cluster Algebras Day on 2th February 2015 A Super Quantum Lie Day on 4th February 2015. The workshop Combinatorics and Algebraic Topology of Configurations from 17th February to 20th February 2015. Two satellite workshop will be part of this INDAM Intensive Period: INdAM Meeting "Configuration spaces: Geometry, Topology and Representation Theory", in Cortona from August 31st to September 6th, 2014 (http://www.dm.unipi.it/~gaiffi/configurationscortona/); INdAM Workshop "Aspects of Lie Theory", in Rome from January 7th to January 10th, 2015 (http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/bravi/indam2015.html).
Second session: Lie Theory and Representation Theory
The study of geometry and representations of affine Lie groups and algebras achieved an increasing importance in the last 30 years starting with the connection with modular representation theory (Lusztig conjecture) and to the study of vector bundles on curves (solution of the KP equation and proof of Verlinde's formula).
In certain cases the theory for affine algebras, even if presenting many more technical subtleties, follows closely the finite case. Indeed, it is possible to generalize some of the constructions and results which hold for semisimple Lie algebras: the theory of highest weight representations, topological properties of the singular locus of Schubert varieties in connection with Hecke algebras, the standard monomial theory applied to the description of the algebraic geometric aspects of the affine Grassmannian and Schubert varieties. Further aspects, while well-understood in the finite-dimensional case, turn out to give rise to new interesting phenomena, as for the Springer fibers. Finally, for this class of algebras completely new questions arise, such as the theory of critical level representations.
The theory of affine Lie algebras and affine Lie groups find applications to many subjects in Lie theory and algebraic geometry. We have already mentioned the relations with modular representation theory and the moduli space of vector bundles on curves, but they are also the central object in the geometric Langlands program, and they are intimately connected with the local models of Shimura varieties.
The intent of finding an algebraic proof for the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture on characters of irriducible modules for semisimple and affine Lie algebras, motivated Soergel conjecture. This consists in a purely algebraic statement, in terms of ranks of certain bimodules, which Soergel proved to imply the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture. Soergel's conjecture has been recently proven by Elias and Williamson, by adapting to this setting ideas from the work of de Cataldo and Migliorini and making use of categorification techniques.

Geordie Williamson, Lecture I - 19 January 2015 47:50 Geordie Williamson (Max-Planck-Institute, Bonn) - Lecture I http://www.crm.sns.it/course/4033/
This mini-course will be an introduction to perverse sheaves, with emphasis on examples from representation theory. It will be a course full of pictures and examples, with the aim of trying to get some feeling for the fundamentals of perverse sheaves: t-structures and gluing, intersection cohomology complexes, the decomposition theorem, vanishing and nearby cycles. As a grand finale I hope to cover de Cataldo and Migliorini's proof of the decomposition theorem. Although the most important concepts will be recalled, I will assume a basic knowledge of sheaves and derived categories. (If you have never worked with sheaves, cohomology or derived categories before the learning curve will be steep.)

Nietzsche and the Will to Power

# You can also click the upper-left icon to select videos from the playlist.

source: Academy of Ideas     2012年11月6日
In this 3 part mini-series, we look at Nietzsche's will to power doctrine from three different angles. In the first lecture, we discuss his disdain for traditional metaphysics. In the second, we look at how the will to power fits in with Nietzsche's ethical ideas. And finally, in the final lecture we critique materialism and explain how Nietzsche's will to power doctrine overcomes some of materialism's limitations.

Nietzsche and Metaphysics  14:43 In this lecture we investigate Nietzsche's critique of traditional metaphysics, and introduce his own interpretation of the universe.
Nietzsche and Self Overcoming 12:09 In this lecture we investigate the connection between Nietzsche's understanding of evolution, his conception of the world as will to power, and his advice to devote one's self to a life of self overcoming.
Nietzsche and the Will to Power 11:57 In this lecture we investigate Nietzsche's doctrine of the will to power by contrasting it with materialism, a metaphysical account of the universe which has dominated scientific thought for the last 3 centuries. We also introduce the ideas of Alfred North Whitehead, and point out the similarity between his ideas and Nietzsche's.

============================================
In this video we examine the psychology of obedience, paying particular attention to why people obey those in power even if it means committing actions that in any other situation they would view as immoral. We will also examine disobedience and how it acts as a crucial counter-force to the rise of an oppressive government.

1. Morality: Self Interest or Divine Command 1:22:49 In this video, Professor Thorsby begins a series on Ethics by taking a look at Thomas Hobbes' theory of contracualism and Plato's dialogue 'Euthyphro'
A Defense of Abortion 54:16 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses Judith Jarvis Thomson's essay "A Defense of Abortion". The argument proceeds on the supposition that a fetus has a right to life and is a person; yet despite that it still follows that abortion is morally permissible.
Utilitarianism & Its Critics: JS Mill, Bernard Williams, & John Rawls 59:25 In this video, Professor Thorsby gives an introduction to the basics of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism. After reviewing some of the central elements, Professor Thorsby discusses the critics of Bernard WIlliams and John Rawls.
Singer Famine, Affluence, Morality 54:52 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses the influential essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" by Peter Singer.
16. The Duty to Act: Kant's Deontology 56:54 In this video, Professor Thorsby gives an introduction to ethe deontological moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant.
Cultural Relativism 1:05:54 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses James Rachels argument that the "Cultural Differences Argument" is invalid, further arguing that cultural relativism represents a serious challenge to moral thought, though there are reasons to suppose that some moral values represent necessary conditions for society and are, as such, universal. Next, the lecture discusses the question of Moral observation and how our experience of moral 'facts' cannot confirm our views in the same manner that other scientific investigation can.
Subjectivism 32:22 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses JL Mackie's article "The Subjectivity of Values."
Hare on Slavery 45:44 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses RM Hare's essay on why slavery is morally wrong.
21. Happiness as Eudaimonia: Aristotle's Virtue Ethics 1:11:16 In this video, Professor Thorsby gives a survey of some of the central elements in Aristotle's virtue ethics.
Moral Luck 48:07  In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses the essay "Moral Luck" by Thomas Nagel.

History of Modern Philosophy by Mark Thorsby

# You can also click the upper-left icon to select videos from the playlist.

source: Mark Thorsby      2017年2月5日

1. Descartes' Mediatations on First Philosophy 1:27:10 In this video, Professor Thorsby gives an Introduction to Descartes for the"History of Modern Philosophy" series. This video explores 'Meditations on First Philosophy" by René Descartes.
2. Thomas Hobbes 1:49:45 In this video, Professor Thorsby gives a lecture on the Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, from his empirical views on sensation and thought, to his notion of the state of nature and the force of social agreement in the "Leviathan".
Pascal & Spinoza on Infinity & God 1:34:16 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses the modern philosophers Blaise Pascal and Baruch Spinoza. In the first instance, Professor Thorsby explores Pascal's wager that even though teh existence of God cannot be proven, it is still a reasonable proposition. Next, we turn to the first part of Spinoza's "Ethics" in which he argues that God is the inifite substance and that all singular things are merely modes, affects, or attributes or that infinite substance.
Leibniz: Discourse on Metaphysics 2:06:55 In this video, Professor Thorsby introduces the "Discourse on Metaphysics" by Gottfried Leibniz.
John Locke and his Epistemology 1:48:17 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses John Locke and some of the core elements of his epistemology as found in "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding."
The Idealism of George Berkeley 1:31:22 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses the major arguments of George Berkeley. We see that Berkeley begins by denying the possibility of abstract ideas, at least in terms of their significance defined by John Locke. He contends that Locke makes a mistake by confusing the notion of abstract ideas with the limits of language. Our perception of an object is not generated through an accumulation of simple ideas, amalgamated in a abstract whole (all with valid representational content), but through the direct complete ideas themselves. Berkeley goes on to show that existence requires perception such that all things that exist must be perceived. The lecture traces some of the consequences that follow.
David Hume's Mitigated Skepticism 1:26:44 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses David Hume and a selection from his "Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding." Topics discussed include the distinction between impressions and ideas, matters of fact and relations of ideas, and the critique of causality.
15. Kant's Copernican Turn 42:39 In this video, Professor Thorsby gives a summary of Kant's Epsietmology: Transcendenatl Idealism. Please watch Henry Markram's TED Talk prior to watching this video.
Kant's Prolegomena to a Future Metaphysics In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses several key points in Kant's metaphysics in a reading of Kant's "Prolegomena to a Future Metaphysics". Key topics include transcendental idealism, noumenon, phenomena, synthetic judements, and causality.
Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit 36:40 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses GWF Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" and the master/slave dialectic.
Søren Kierkegaard on Truth and Subjectivity 1:06:44 In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses a select passage on truth and subjectivity from the "Concluding Unscientific Postscript" by Søren Kierkegaard.
