by Martin Kusch

-------- Originalnachricht -------- BETREFF: Wittgen=steine: Two talks this term DATUM: 30.09.2024 08:37 VON: Martin Kusch <martin.kusch(a)univie.ac.at> AN: Hermes <hermes(a)lists.philo.at>, Forum <forum(a)lists.univie.ac.at> Dear All, The "Wittgen=steine" group organises a talk tomorrow: October 18th, 2024, 3:00pm to 4:30pm, HS 3B: Anne-Marie Søndergaard Christensen, "Wittgenstein and the difficulty of avoiding failures of decency" Abstract: Taking my lead from Wittgenstein, I will investigate the difficulties involved in acknowledging one's lack of decency and moral failures. After a short reflection on my use of the word 'decency', I will work to show that a vital reason why we have a tendency to avoid acknowledging our moral failures is that they bring into question our personal moral standing or moral position, and this will lead to an exploration of the idea of the personal dimension of ethics, touched upon by Wittgenstein in several remarks published in _Culture and Value_. The difficulties involved in acknowledging failure will also be illuminated through Hannah Arendt's interpretation of the Socratic slogan that it is worse to do what is unjust than to suffer it. Finally, I will look at different ways in which we may work to avoid acknowledgement of failure, through revision of our moral position or by using ordinary psychological measures of repression or forms of evasion such as aggressiveness, confabulation or deferral. I finally discuss how deferral is often a component in attempts to deflect our current failure to act appropriately in the light of climate change. Everybody welcome! Best wishes from the organizers, Esther Heinrich Anja Weiberg Martin Kusch

Philosophers across various traditions and areas of research have long debated the epistemic roles of imagination. While imagination is often associated with creative thinking and the discovery of possible or fantastical worlds, the question remains: does imagination enhance our understanding of the actual world and help us acquire knowledge? This workshop brings together experts across various fields--phenomenology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind--to examine the diverse epistemic roles of imagination. By exploring how imagination can be a source of learning, deepen understanding, and contribute to knowledge formation, we aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and uncover new insights into this essential cognitive process. Confirmed speakers: * Kristina Liefke (Ruhr University Bochum) * Joshua Myers (University of Barcelona) * Sofia Pedrini (Ruhr University Bochum) * Zuzanna Rucińska (University of Antwerp) * Alfredo Vernazzani (Ruhr University Bochum) * Markus Werning (Ruhr University Bochum) Organizers: Sofia Pedrini, Alfredo Vernazzani, Markus Werning (Ruhr University of Bochum).

Over the years, changing social values, modern technologies, but also scientific misconduct and demands for emancipation based on diversity have led to the fact that science has become a multidisciplinary but also increasingly interwoven institution since at least the second half of the 20th century. The present bias is particularly evident in the institutionalization of knowledge and content from the humanities and the natural sciences and technology, which are in part still strictly separated and not automatically related to each other. This lack of contextualization and intertwining of nature, culture, technology, society, and gender theory can be illustrated by a number of problematic examples: Crash test dummies that only represent men and make cars all the more unsafe for women; toxic cultures of masculinity in engineering courses that make it almost impossible for women to build careers and reveal a serious lack of female role models; racist or sexist algorithms that overwhelm the increasingly important AI and fuel resentment; or supposedly glorious inventions by men for women, such as the Pinky Gloves released in 2021, that reveal a sometimes disastrous picture of gender stereotyping. All these examples clearly show that there is an urgent need to link the cultural sciences and humanities, which have been strictly separated, with the natural, technical, information and engineering sciences. However, these experiences also show how strong the influences of social, political, economic and societal factors are, which also have an unconscious effect on the natural and technical sciences and their results. This modern change therefore confirms all the more the establishment of an interlocking perspective and instructions for action for the scientific enterprise. An appropriate culture/expansion of discourse makes it possible to show how research in the natural, technical, information, and engineering sciences can be seen and evaluated in a multiple and constantly changing world in the context of society, politics, the environment, technology, and gender. Science is no longer a homogeneous and awe-inspiring entity that can sustain itself. It is increasingly criticized and confronted with demands to open up and to represent all aspects of social life in an interconnected way. There is therefore a need for other interfaces and interconnections that drive this world of research, transform it, make it usable, and build it in a future-oriented way. This particular entanglement has always been explored in the EcoTechGender research project [1] (est. 2007 by Prof. Dr. Ruth E. Hagengruber [2]). In the context of a workshop, we would like to emphasize this importance once again, work it out together, and offer space for a philosophical-interdisciplinary workshop and discourse in which young scientists can present their visions and contributions to the entanglement field of EcoTechGender. In addition to invited speakers, lecture slots will be advertised in order to provide a platform for exchange for interested young scientists. The aim of the workshop is to present different perspectives on EcoTechGender from young scholars from different academic disciplines to show the interferences of humanities, social sciences, science and technology studies, medicine and computer science. The workshop will be introduced by our Keynoter _Kateryna Karpenko [3]_, Director of the Center for Gender Studies at Kharkiv National Medical University, Ukraine. Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to follow and listen to several different PhD students from STEM fields, STS-Studies, medicine, gender studies and philosophy, who will present their views and ideas on EcoTechGender. For more inspiration have a look at our preliminary program [4]. The Workshop will take place on November 15, 2024 at the _Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists_ as _online event._ For participation please register via our registration platform [5]. _The workshop is organized by __Ruth E. Hagengruber [2]__ & __Felix Grewe [6]__._ For further questions please contact: ecotechgender(a)historyofwomenphilosophers.org ****************************************** (4) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Online, 21.11.2024) Online-Workshop: Wissenschaftsgeleitetes Publizieren und Open Access in der Philosophie Die Veranstaltung umfasst folgende Themenschwerpunkte: - allgemeine Informationen zu Open Access - die (vermeintliche) Wirkung von Metriken auf das Renommee von Forschenden: Warum entscheiden sich Forschende, bei einem bestimmten Verlag zu publizieren? - Publikationsvorhaben im Diamond Open Access: Welche technischen Lösungen und editorischen Workflows, Herausforderungen bzw.

However, within the metanormative literature, scholars have come forward raising doubts about the conceivability of that distinction, and several attemps have been made to rebuttal these reasons supporting scepticism. In the course of this workshop, we aim to bring different voices and perspectives on the authoritative-formal divide and its application together. _Speakers:_ * Derek Baker (_Frankfurt_) * James Brown (_Sheffield_) * Eline Gerritsen (_Hamburg_) * Susanne Mantel (_Heidelberg_) * Elizabeth Ventham (_Salzburg_) * Michael Vollmer (_Heidelberg_) * Jonathan Way (_Southampton_) * Jack Woods (_Leeds_) _Location:_ Universitätsplatz 1, 69117 Heidelberg To register and for more information: _michael.vollmer(a)uni-heidelberg.de_ _Organizers:_ Susanne Mantel & Michael Vollmer Links: ------ [1] https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/ecotechgender/ [2] https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/ruth_e_hagengruber/ [3] https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/kateryna-karpenko/ [4] https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/journals/journal/call-for-interefere… [5] https://indico.uni-paderborn.de/event/86/registrations/107/ [6] https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/felix-grewe/

Fwd: [Hermes] Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency, November 15 Vienna

by Raphael Gustavo Aybar Valdivia

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Hermes] Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency, November 15 Vienna Date: 25.10.2024 12:39 From: Ali Emre Benli via Hermes <hermes(a)lists.philo.at> To: Hermes <hermes(a)lists.philo.at>, Iris <iris(a)lists.philo.at>, khoraplattform(a)lists.philo.at Reply-To: Ali Emre Benli <ali.emre.benli(a)univie.ac.at> Dear all, Please find below a Call for Registration for our workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency that will take place here at the University of Vienna on November 15. Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency Co-hosted by Department of Philosophy University of Vienna and Knowledge in Crisis FWF Cluster of Excellence. November 15, 2024 Room 3A, Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG) Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna A declaration of climate emergency calls for a radical break from business-as-usual in climate policy. Yet it raises crucial moral, political and institutional questions: Should the demands of urgency and the extent of potential harm alter procedures of decision-making or frameworks of justification? Which courses of action/institutions are permissible to avoid the harms of global warming? How should we understand responsibilities for remedying loss and damage as well as future generations in the context of climate emergency? This one-day workshop will bring together researchers working on the above and related issues surrounding climate emergency. Speakers: Kathrin von Allmen (Harvard University) Ali Emre Benli (University of Vienna) Angela Kallhoff (University of Vienna) Ross Mittiga (SOAS University of London) Tracey Skillington (University College Cork) The workshop is free, but places are limited. Online participation is possible. Please register via workshop registration [1]. Program is available at The Ethics of Climate Emergency -- University of Vienna [2] For further information, see https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/news-and-events Please send your enquiries to ali.emre.benli(a)univie.ac.at -- Ali Emre Benli Universitätsassistent (PostDoc) Chair of Ethics and Applied Ethics University of Vienna | Department of Philosophy Links: ------ [1] https://forms.gle/Pg5NcuvJAS1E3czf9 [2] https://ucrisportal.univie.ac.at/en/activities/the-ethics-of-climate-emerge… _______________________________________________ Hermes mailing list -- hermes(a)lists.philo.at To unsubscribe send an email to hermes-leave(a)lists.philo.at -- MSc.

This event will explore the relationship between formal methods and philosophical inquiry, focusing on the challenges, debates, and implications of formalising philosophical concepts. The conference will feature four keynote talks and eight contributed presentations mainly across three main topics: _1. The Feasibility and Challenges of Formalising Philosophy:_ This theme examines the adequacy of formal methods in capturing the nuances of philosophical ideas, identifying common challenges such as potential oversimplification and loss of depth, and exploring the relationships between terms and concepts within formal systems. _2. Pros and Cons of Using Formalisations in Philosophy:_ This topic addresses the ongoing discussion regarding the value of formal methods in philosophy, highlighting their benefits, including enhanced precision and clarity, alongside the limitations imposed by formal systems, such as the risk of diminishing the richness of philosophical discourse. _3. Conceptual Pluralism and Choosing the Right Formalisation:_ This theme recognises the diversity of formal methods and evaluates the criteria for selecting the most appropriate approaches for philosophical inquiry, considering the intended applications and goals of formalisation. We welcome contributions that provide original insights into these and related topics. Historical approaches or comparative studies across different philosophical schools are also encouraged. _Keynote Speakers_ - Catarina Dutilh Novaes (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) - Georg Brun (University of Bern) - Sven Ove Hansson (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) - Anna Brożek (University of Warsaw) _Submission Guidelines_ We invite abstracts of up to 500 words, excluding references, which should clearly present the main argument and its relevance to the conference topics.

Bartolo Alegre Doctoral Students at LMU Munich, Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) ****************************************** (4) CALL FOR PAPERS (Dortmund, Deadline: 10.01.2025) Dortmund Disputes on Economic Justice Date: June 12 and 13, 2025. Place: Dortmund, Germany Keynotes: Miranda Fleischer (San Diego), Nicholas Vrousalis (Rotterdam) Organizers: Peter Königs, Christian Neuhäuser, Lea Prix, Dick Timmer (TU Dortmund University) Most fundamental questions of economic justice remain unresolved. There is little agreement on the place of markets, the nature of property, the justifiability of taxes, the importance of workplace democracy, the injustice of economic inequality, and, generally, the merits of capitalism and socialism. While debates on economic justice often take place within specific political camps, where many assumptions are shared, the Dortmund Disputes take a different approach. The idea of the Dortmund Disputes is to foster debate across political boundaries. It seeks to bring together open-minded scholars with diverse political outlooks--whether liberal egalitarian, libertarian, socialist, conservative, or otherwise--who are committed to our shared goal of advancing our understanding of economic justice. The keynote speakers for the first installment of the Dortmund Disputes are Miranda Fleischer and Nicholas Vrousalis. Miranda Fleischer is Richard and Kaye Woltman Professor in Finance at University of San Diego's School of Law. Her work focuses on ethical and legal issues surrounding taxation, wealth and wealth transfer, and charitable giving. She's the co-author of a recent book on Universal Basic Income. Nicholas Vrousalis is Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam [2]. His work revolves around distributive ethics, democratic theory, and the history of political philosophy, with emphasis on Kant, Hegel, and Marx. He is the author of a recent book on capitalism and exploitation. We invite scholars to apply with an abstract of around 500 words. Abstracts will be selected based on their quality, fit with the spirit of the conference, and broad alignment with the research interests of the keynote speakers. They should be sent as PDF attachments to Swaantje Siebke [swaantje.siebke(a)tu-dortmund.de], prepared for blind review. The deadline for submission is January 10, 2025. Limited funding is available to cover travel and accommodation expenses for speakers who cannot otherwise finance these costs. ****************************************** (5) CALL FOR PAPERS (Jena, Deadline: 14.02.2025) SSHAP 2025 _July 23-26, University of Jena._ The thirteenth annual conference of the Society for the Study of the History of Analytical Philosophy (SSHAP) will be held at the University of Jena, July 23-26, 2025. The annual meeting is locally organized by Tabea Rohr. The main conference venue will be _Rosensäle_, Fürstengraben 27, in the center of Jena. July 26, 2025 is the exact centenary of Frege's death, and one principal aim of this annual conference is to commemorate that event. _Invited Speakers:_ * Gottfried Gabriel (Jena) * Richard Kimberly Heck (Brown) * Maria van der Schaar (Leiden) * James Tappenden (Michigan) _Submission Deadline:_ The submission deadline is February 14, 2025. In the past, some of the papers presented at the annual conference were published in the _Journal for the History of Analytical Philosophy_. The meeting is to be held in-person, and preference will be given to submitted talks that are able to be presented in-person.

It welcomes scholars interested in the many ways in which this development was influenced by thinkers such as Bolzano, Brentano and his school, Husserl, Frege, Russell, the Vienna Circle, Wittgenstein, Tarski, Quine, and the Polish school, for instance, but also seeks to promote work engaging with lesser-known figures and trends, and its reception in countries right across the world. Submissions to the SSHAP annual conference in all areas of the history of analytic philosophy are welcome. _Conference Homepage: https://sshap2025.uni-jena.de/_ ****************************************** (6) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Innsbruck, 30-31.10.2024) Book Symposium on Thomas Grundmann's forthcoming book "Expert Authority and the Limits of Critical Thinking" (OUP) Department of Christian Philosophy University of Innsbruck Dekanatssitzungssaal Karl-Rahner-Platz 1 _Abstract of the book_: Public confidence in scientific experts is high, particularly in times of crisis. But experts are not beyond doubt. In his forthcoming book, Thomas Grundmann argues that a different attitude towards experts is needed. Laypeople should stop thinking for themselves and typically defer to experts. In short, laypeople should treat experts as epistemic authorities. Grundmann presents a novel argument for this bold view and engages with its main challenges. For example, doesn't the view make experts too powerful and completely immune to criticism? The book replies to these and many more concerns about the authority of experts. On its way issues such as the history of epistemic authority, expert identification, the role of expert authority in resisting conspiracy theories, epistemic autonomy, and the role of experts in politics are addressed. _Speakers_ Sofia Bokros [3], _Uppsala University_ Katherine Dormandy [4], _University of Innsbruck_ Thomas Grundmann [5], _University of Cologne_ Rico Hauswald [6], _Technische Universität Dresden_ Christoph Jäger [7], _University of Innsbruck_ Hatice Kaya [8], _University of Cologne_ Federica Isabella Malfatti [9], _University of Innsbruck_ Pedro Schmechtig [10], _Technische Universität Dresden_ Johanna Stüger [11], _Cambridge University_ _Sponsors_ DK Philosophy of Religion [12] TWF - Tiroler Wissenschaftsförderung [13] Erika Cremer Habilitationsprogramm [14] _To register, contact:_ federica.malfatti(a)uibk.ac.at ****************************************** (7) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Frankfurt, 04-06.11.2024) Christine M. Korsgaard: Value and Freedom in Kant's Moral Philosophy Christine M. Korsgaard, die an der Harvard University lehrt, ist eine der wichtigsten Philosophinnen unserer Zeit. Ihr Werk widmet sich unter anderem einer Rechtfertigung menschlicher Würde, einer Grundlegung unseres richtigen Handelns und der Begründung des moralischen Status von Tieren. In den Dagmar-Westberg-Vorlesungen geht sie in drei Vorträgen zentralen Fragen der Praktischen Philosophie Kants nach, die sie auf innovative Weise deutet. Der erste Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit dem unvergleichlichen Wert des Individuums und ergründet, was es eigentlich heißt, „Zweck an sich selbst" zu sein. Der zweite Vortrag ist dem Zusammenhang von richtigem und gutem Handeln gewidmet und weist als wesentliches Kennzeichen deren Autonomie aus. Im dritten Vortrag wird schließlich Moralität als Bedingung unserer Freiheit thematisch. _4. November_ The Incomparable Value of the Individual _5.
