DEUTSCHE GESELLSCHAFT FÜR PHILOSOPHIE E.V. INFORMATIONEN DER DGPHIL 06. KALENDERWOCHE 2025 Liebe Mitglieder, viele von uns sind als Autorin oder als Herausgeber an Büchern beteiligt, die in der WBG Darmstadt (Wissenschaftlichen Buchgesellschaft) erschienen sind, die bedauerlicherweise Insolvenz anmelden musste. Im Rahmen des Insolvenzverfahrens der Wissenschaftlichen Buchgesellschaft hat die Insolvenzverwalterin die Rechte an den meisten in diesem Verlag erschienenen Werken an die Urheber:innen zurückgegeben. Der Fachinformationsdienst Philosophie (FID Philosophie), dessen Aufbau an der Universität Köln von der DFG gefördert wird, bietet nun allen ehemaligen WBG-Autor:innen und Herausgeber:innen an, Ihren Büchern auf www.philportal.de [1] kostenlos ein dauerhaft gesichertes neues Zuhause zu geben, das allen daran Interessierten den kostenfreien Zugang (open access) zu allen ehemals von der WBG veröffentlichten Werken in Form von pdf-Dateien ermöglichen wird, deren Urheber:innen dies wünschen. Da Sie dem FID Philosophie dafür nur ein darauf bezogenes nichtausschließliches Nutzungsrecht einräumen müssen, verbleiben alle anderen Rechte bei Ihnen. Ich halte diese Initiative für einen sehr begrüßenswerten Service des FID Philosophie für unser Fach und möchte alle diejenigen, deren WBG-Bücher nun keine Verlagsheimat mehr haben, dazu einladen, sich daran zu beteiligen. Ihr Interesse können Sie direkt Herrn Eggert vom FID Philosophie bekunden (eric.eggert(a)uni-koeln.de).

REMINDER: Deadline February 15: Call for Applications - Summer School on History and Epistemology of Econometrics - Vienna July 2025

by Zarah Weiss

Summer School Call for Applications (Deadline: February 15, 2025) 23rd univie: summer school Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC) The History and Epistemology of Econometrics Vienna, July 7-11, 2025 https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/ Course Description Models and their econometric estimation play an increasingly important role in modern economic and political life. From macroeconomic policy and financial regulation to public health and climate policy, models contribute to shaping policies. The generation of ever more data is likely to support the proliferation of models and econometrics. Research resources in academia focus on the theoretical foundations of the underlying model and on the statistical methods of econometrics; much less attention is devoted to the epistemological challenges of the underlying concepts, the normative challenges of the everyday work with econometrics, and the application of its results in policy decisions and evaluation. The objective of this program is to increase attention amongst philosophers of science, academic economists, and empirical economists in policy institutions (eg, central banks) to these issues. The course is also structured around a particular point of view namely, that economics is a science of models and that most of the main features of econometrics relate generally to the role of models in science. Topics will be selected reflecting participants interests and may include: * History of econometrics to frame the philosophical issues to be discussed in the course * The Vienna Circle and econometrics * Values and Ethical Pitfalls in econometric research * Key philosophical issues of how models relate to the world and how they relate to each other * Data: observation, classification, and measurement of economic variables from a modeling point of view * Conceptual issues related to modeling randomness * The identification problem: how possibly, if at all possible, to map descriptive relations onto theoretical variables? * Issues related to optional stopping, search methodologies, and the proper interpretation of results obtained through search * Different approaches to the nature of causation and different strategies of causal inference * The conceptual basis of graphical causal modeling and controlled, natural, and field experiments * The conceptual issues surrounding the problem of model uncertainty, as well as some of the strategies economists use to address it Main Lecturers: Kevin D. Hoover (Duke University) Kevin D. Hoover is Professor of Economics and Philosophy and Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. He is the editor of the journal History of Political Economy and a past editor of the Journal of Economic Methodology. His current research addresses causality, causal inference in economics, the history of macroeconomics, philosophical issues related to the microfoundations of macroeconomics, and the engagement with economics of the American pragmatist philosopher Charles. S. Peirce. He is the author of The New Classical Macroeconomics, the Methodology of Empirical Macroeconomics, Causality in Macroeconomics, Applied Intermediate Macroeconomics, as well as many articles in monetary and macroeconomics, the history of economics, the philosophy of economics, and applied econometrics. Jennifer Jhun (Duke University) Jennifer Jhun is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Duke University, as well as a Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of Political Economy. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh. Her main research interests are in the philosophy of science, especially philosophy of economics, but also in issues in other areas, such as psychology and physics. She is currently engaged on a project that investigates antitrust from a historical and philosophy-of-science perspective: Whats the Point of ceteris Paribus? or, How to Understand Supply and Demand Curves. Philosophy of Science 85, no. 2 (2018): 271-292; Economics, Equilibrium Methods, and Multi-scale Modeling. Erkenntnis 86, no. 2 (2021): 457-472; Multi-Model Reasoning in Economics: The Case of COMPASS. Philosophy of Science 90, no. 4 (2023): 836-854; Implied Market Shares and Antitrust Markets as Fuzzy Sets. Forthcoming at The Antitrust Bulletin. (Joint with Matthew Panhans, Federal Trade Commission) Guest Lecturer: Marcel Boumans (University of Utrecht) Marcel Boumans is historian and philosopher of science at Utrecht University. His main research focus is on understanding empirical research practices in science outside the lab from a philosophy of science-in-practice perspective. He is particularly interested in the practices of measurement and modelling and the role of mathematics in social science. The first step in these practices is to make sense of the available data. Visualisations play an important role in this. His current research project Vision and Visualisation is nearing completion with a book manuscript Shaping the Phenomena. The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior researchers in philosophy of science and economics as well as empirical economists at policy institutions (eg, central banks) but the organizers also encourage applications from people in all stages of their career and from fields other than economics that apply advanced econometrics. Application form and further information: <https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/> https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/ USS-SWC operates under the academic supervision of an International Program Committee of distinguished philosophers, historians, and scientists. Its members represent the scientific fields in the scope of USS-SWC, make contact to their home universities and will also support acknowledgement of courses taken by the students.

This project re-examines Kant's Transcendental Dialectic, challenging the traditional view that Kant held a purely negative attitude towards rationalist metaphysics. lnstead, the project aims to uncover Kant's nuanced and, at times, positive take on the ideas of reason - the soul, the world, and God. In doing so, it offers fresh insights into Kant scholarship that also open new avenues for contemporary debates in (meta-)metaphysics. The project is based at the Humboldt-University of Berlin and is led by Prof. Dr. Tobias Rosefeldt, who will also be the PhD supervisor. The project benefits from a strong network of national and international collaborations. lt is embedded in the Classical German Philosophy platform, which connects Kant scholars in the Berlin region. In addition, the project is supported by the following international partners: Andrew Chignell (Princeton University), Eric Watkins (UCSD), Nicholas Stang (University of Toronto) and Maya Krishnan (University of Chicago). The research fellow will be expected to contribute original research on the themes of the project. Active participation in Kant reading groups, the weekly colloquium and other scholarly activities is expected. The research fellow should contribute to a vibrant intellectual community. This will be matched by substantial institutional support. There will be funding for (international) travel and financial support to organise workshops on topics of choice. There will also be opportunities to engage with the scholars and partners affiliated with the project. There will be teaching opportunities, but teaching is not required. _Job description:_ * scientific services in research in the DFG-funded project ´Reasonable Ideals: Metaphysics and Meta-metaphysics in Kant's Transcendental Dialectic´ * active participation in Kant reading groups, the weekly colloquium and other scholarly activities within the DFG-funded project * tasks for personal scientific qualification (doctoral degree) _Requirements:_ * completed scientific university education in philosophy (Master`s degree or equivalent) * relevant PhD project * strong background in Kant's theoretical philosophy * additional knowledge in one or more of the following areas desired: Metaphysics, Epistemology, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language * fluency in English or German * reading proficiency in German preferred _Bewerbung an:_ Please send your application (including cover letter, academic CV, research statement incl. description of PhD project, writing sample (ideally on Kant), 2 letters of recommendation and copies of relevant certificates and documents) referencing the _job id_ to Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Department of Philosophy, Prof. Dr. Tobias Rosefeldt, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin or preferably in electronic form as a single PDF file to _sekkldph(a)hu-berlin.de_.

From state neutrality in international relations to value neutrality in social sciences, from emotional neutrality to neutral monism in metaphysics, this fundamental concept raises crucial questions across disciplines. * Political Philosophy: State neutrality in international relations and domestic policy * Philosophy of Science: Value neutrality, scientific objectivity * Ethics: Neutrality of meta-ethics, agent-neutral reasons, population ethics * Epistemology: Suspension of judgment between belief and disbelief * (Meta)metaphysics: Neutrality of metaphysical frameworks, descriptive vs critical metaphysics * Philosophy of Mind: Neutral monism, psychological descriptions * Logic and Mathematics: Ontological neutrality, zero values * Social Philosophy: Institutional neutrality in universities, media, and public spaces * ... Key Questions Papers may explore any aspect of neutrality across philosophical domains. Potential questions include, but are not limited to: * Is there a common core concept of neutrality that cuts across ethics, logic, philosophy of mind, politics, economics, science, etc., or are there only fragmented, loosely related uses of a single term? * Should neutrality be understood as an absence or rather as a balance between opposing forces, ideas, or actions? * If neutrality is an absence, what is it an absence of? * If neutrality is a balance, what is it a balance between, and how is the opposition to be understood? * What kinds of entities can be said to be neutral? * Is neutrality a good thing (perhaps on a par with impartiality) or a bad thing (perhaps on a par with compromise, in the negative sense)? * Is neutrality achievable? * Is a form of neutrality (e.g., political neutrality) desirable in some contexts (e.g., schools) and not in others (e.g., the political arena)? * What is the opposite of neutral: biased, subjective, unbalanced, one-sided, opinionated, prejudiced, committed, engaged, value-laden, passionate? * What is the relationship between neutrality and cognate ideas such as impartiality, compromise, pluralism, agnosticism, balance or moderation? * ...

CFA - VDP Summer School 2025 The Philosophy of Iris Murdoch - Vienna July 2025

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

Dear all, We invite applications for the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy Summer School 2025, 'The Philosophy of Iris Murdoch'. The details can be found below and on the summer school webpage: https://pace.phl.univie.ac.at/the-philosophy-of-iris-murdoch/. Instructors: Justin Broackes (Brown), Cathy Mason (CEU), Silvia Panizza (UCD/UPSE), Rachael Wiseman (Liverpool) Dates: July 14th-18th, 2025 Deadline for application: March 30th, 2025 Location: Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätstrasse 7, 1010 Wien Overview of the Topic Although Iris Murdoch is still best known for her novels, her philosophical work is finally beginning to receive the recognition that it deserves. An Oxford philosopher, educated during the Second World War and later employed there as a lecturer, Murdoch’s philosophy marks a significant departure from the dominant analytic tradition of her place and time: a return to a philosophy deeply attuned to the human condition and to metaphysical thinking. Murdoch’s ideas began to develop with a critique of the prevailing approaches to language and thought, later evolving into a novel conception of ethics. Engaged with both analytic and continental traditions, she proposed vision as the basic category of evaluation and freedom as the ability to see the world rightly, rather than as detachment from it. As opposed to the amoral view of metaphysics, she sought to reanimate the concept of a world that finds meaning through “the Good”. She writes in dialogue with a diverse range of philosophers, including Plato, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, French existentialists, and Derrida, among others, and she has had a strong influence on some of today’s best-known philosophers, including Cora Diamond, John McDowell, Martha Nussbaum, and Charles Taylor. The summer school aims to bring together promising young philosophers with some of the leading experts on Murdoch’s philosophical work. Participants will have the chance to engage with her major themes, uncover less-explored aspects of her work, and contribute to the ongoing discussion of her ideas with their own research. Application & Fees We welcome applications from PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and advanced MA students in philosophy and related disciplines. To apply for participation, please send the following documents to Matt Dougherty (doughertym(a)ceu.edu): 1. Curriculum Vitae (max. 2 pages) 2. Statement of Purpose (no longer than 1 page), explaining the relevance of the summer school to your study, research, teaching and/or other professional work Statement of Financial Aid (optional). We can offer partial financial support (including the coverage of the school fees) to the participants whose home institutions cannot cover their expenses. We therefore ask the applicants who wish to be considered for funding to briefly describe their situation in the statement. 3. Abstract (optional; max. 250 words). If you would like to present your work at the summer school, please send us a short abstract of your presentation. Since the number of slots for student presentations is limited, this will help us decide on how to allocate them. The summer school fee is 75 Euros. The fee includes the student union fee of 25 Euros, which is required by Austrian law to register at the University of Vienna and to receive a certificate of completion of the summer school. Please, submit your application by March 30, 23.59 CET. Contact Email: doughertym(a)ceu.edu We will notify you of the decision by April 7, 23.59 CET. Diversity Statement: We strongly encourage applications from members of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups. Organizing Committee Paulina Sliwa Matt Dougherty Sebastian Aster Maria Fedorova Bojin Zhu The VDP Summer School 2025 is funded by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (University of Vienna).
