Wittgen=steine tomorrow: Anne-Marie Søndergaard Christensen, "Wittgenstein and the difficulty of avoiding failures of decency"

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

REMINDER: 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. The annual summer school is organised by the Institute Vienna Circle of the University of Vienna. <https://wienerkreis.univie.ac.at/> https://wienerkreis.univie.ac.at/ Find information about our exchange programme with Duke University (North Carolina) here: <https://international.univie.ac.at/en/international-cooperation/university- wide-partnership-agreements/north-america/> https://international.univie.ac.at/en/international-cooperation/university-w ide-partnership-agreements/north-america/ Inquiries: Administrator: Zarah Weiss Institute Vienna Circle Alser Straße 23/32 1080 Wien <mailto:summerschool.ivc@univie.ac.at> summerschool.ivc(a)univie.ac.at Scientific director: Georg Schiemer Institute Vienna Circle Alser Straße 23/32 1080 Wien <mailto:georg.schiemer@univie.ac.at> georg.schiemer(a)univie.ac.at

Fellowship opportunities at the Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) in Vienna

by Kasper Nowak

Dear VDP Mailing List, I would like to share with you the following information about fellowship opportunities at the Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) in Vienna: ----------------------------------- The Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) is an intellectually and politically independent institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences. ***** ***** ***** ***** Jan Patočka Fellowship The Jan Patočka Fellowship Program aims to foster research inspired by Jan Patočka's legacy and his intellectual endeavor to rethink Europe under post-European paradigms. It welcomes scholars working on the manifold philosophical, societal, economic, geopolitical, or historical dimensions of this challenging topic. As a name-giver for this program, Patočka's critical investigations into the history of philosophy, the meaning of modernity, (post)colonialism, war, technology, and the dialectics of enlightenment offer exemplary--though by no means exclusive--fields of research. The call invites project applications that offer inspiring perspectives on the idea of (post-)Europe and its critical reflection in contemporary debates. The fellowship is open to all academic disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Jan Patočka Junior Visiting Fellows will be invited to spend five months between September 2025 and June 2026 at the IWM to pursue their research projects.

Fellowship opportunities at the Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) in Vienna

by Kasper Nowak

Dear VDP Mailing List, I would like to share with you the following information about fellowship opportunities at the Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) in Vienna: ----------------------------------- The Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) is an intellectually and politically independent institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences. ***** ***** ***** ***** *Jan Patočka Fellowship* The Jan Patočka Fellowship Program aims to foster research inspired by Jan Patočka’s legacy and his intellectual endeavor to rethink Europe under post-European paradigms. It welcomes scholars working on the manifold philosophical, societal, economic, geopolitical, or historical dimensions of this challenging topic. As a name-giver for this program, Patočka’s critical investigations into the history of philosophy, the meaning of modernity, (post)colonialism, war, technology, and the dialectics of enlightenment offer exemplary––though by no means exclusive––fields of research. The call invites project applications that offer inspiring perspectives on the idea of (post-)Europe and its critical reflection in contemporary debates. The fellowship is open to all academic disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Jan Patočka Junior Visiting Fellows will be invited to spend five months between September 2025 and June 2026 at the IWM to pursue their research projects. *Deadline for applications: 16 February 2025* *More details here: *https://www.iwm.at/program/jan-patocka-fellowship ***** ***** ***** ***** *Digital Humanism Junior Visiting Fellowship* The fellowship aims to bring eminent scholars from a wide range of academic fields to the Institute and allow them to pursue cutting-edge research on all aspects of the networked society.

GAP Infomail 01-2025

by Martin Kusch

Wir sind um die Verbreitung der unten stehenden Informationen gebeten worden. Wenn Sie selbst einen Beitrag zur GAP-Infomail haben, senden Sie uns diesen bitte als einfachen Text im Emailkorpus unter info(a)gap-im-netz.de zu. Beiträge, die uns bis Freitag 10 Uhr erreichen, werden per GAP-Infomail am darauf folgenden Montag verschickt - Beiträge, die uns danach erreichen, entsprechend eine Woche später. ****************************************** (1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (München, Deadline: 17.02.2025) PhD-scholarships in Neurophilosophy (LMU-GSN) ****************************************** (1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (München, Deadline: 17.02.2025) PhD-scholarships in Neurophilosophy (LMU-GSN) The Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) at LMU Munich invites applications for several PhD scholarships in Neurophilosophy. The GSN is the teaching entity for the Munich Center of Neurosciences - Brain & Mind (MCN). Through creating an interdisciplinary network of research the GSN provides a stimulating environment for students and faculty to produce novel formulations of current concepts and theories. Successful applicants will be affiliated with the Research Center for Neurophilosophy and Ethics of Neurosciences (https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…) at the GSN. Projects in the research center fall in the following areas: * philosophy of cognitive neuroscience (explanation, reduction) * philosophy and cognitive science of agency (mental causation, free will, moral psychology, abilities) * philosophy and cognitive science of reasoning (e.g. deductive and non-deductive reasoning, logic and neural networks, decision making) * ethics of neuroscience (research ethics, enhancement) * philosophy of perception * philosophy and social cognition In the new application round we encourage applications in smaller focus areas in order to build research groups. In the 2024/25 round the focus areas are: * human agency (esp. mental causation, complex action, multi-tasking, attention, reductive and non-reductive explanation of agency) * metacognition (esp. Metacognition in perception, self-evaluation and sense of self) * group cognition (group epistemology, collective decisions and group responsibility) However, single exceptional and independent projects in one of the other areas are also encouraged. Applicants should have advanced training in philosophy (typically a Master's degree in philosophy) and a genuine interest in the neurosciences. This includes the willingness to acquire substantial knowledge of empirical work relevant to their philosophical project. Cooperative projects with empirical scientists in the network of the MCN are strongly encouraged. The application period opened on December 1st 2024 and will close on February 17th 2025, (12:00 noon CET). Please check our website (https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…) and the GSN website (https://www.gsn.uni-muenchen.de/apply/how_to_apply_active/index.html) for details concerning the application procedure. The application includes an outline of your proposed research project, a CV, an official transcript of your academic work (list of attended courses; grades), diplomas and two separate academic reference letters. Please also name two potential supervisors (possibly including one non-philosopher) from the core or affiliated neurophilosophy faculty of the GSN. --
