 re known to possess nuclear weapons\; it is also among the 32 countries (pl
 us Taiwan) that operate nuclear power plants. Many of the country’s leaders
  and scientists have been interested in nuclear technology since the late 1
 930s. In this talk\, I will discuss media coverage of\, and views expressed
  by political and scientific leaders in India about\, nuclear technology in
  the first decade and a half after the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima an
 d Nagasaki. The time frame is chosen as a way to capture the development of
  different strands of thought\, but also ensuring that these views are not 
 affected by the next major nuclear crisis\, the Cuban missile crisis of 196
 2. Time permitting\, I will talk about the coverage in one prominent Indian
  newspaper\, the Tribune.</p><hr /><h3>[CANCELLED] Mahatma Gandhi\, Richard

 /p><p>Guest Speaker: <a href="https://philosophy.ubc.ca/profile/catherine-p
 rueitt/">Dr. Catherine Prueitt</a>\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Ph
 ilosophy\, University of British Columbia</p><p>Professor Prueitt argues th
 at the sophisticated theory of play that is central to Abhinavagupta’s (10t
 h-11th century Kashmir) understanding of creation\, both artistic and cosmi
 c\, provides a robust framework for supporting and extending C. Thi Nguyen’
 s account of aesthetic striving play in Games: Agency as Art (2020). Abhina
 vagupta’s framework supports Nguyen’s by providing technical details of how
  layered and fluid modes of agency are constructed and maintained\, and ext
 ends it by explaining the inherent link between depersonalized agency and a
 esthetic experiences.</p><p>Bringing in Abhinavagupta’s understanding of th
 e controversial Quiescent Rasa shows that the experience of aesthetic striv
 ing play is at the heart of aesthetic experience because it mirrors the lib
 erated experience of depersonalized agency\, which expresses itself in acts
  of imagination that constitute subject/object structured worlds simply for
  the joy of experiencing differentiated forms.</p><hr /><h3>What is Colonia
