However, alongside these promises come significant ethical, social, and technical challenges. While AI has been praised for its capacity to address complex issues and foster innovation, concerns about bias, transparency, accountability, and fairness are increasingly urgent. Critics warn that without careful oversight, AI could perpetuate existing inequalities and create new forms of discrimination. Despite these ongoing debates, much of the discourse remains speculative, highlighting the need for deeper empirical and theoretical inquiry into AI's impacts and the social, ethical and political responsibilities that should guide its development. Our symposium provides an opportunity to explore, from social sciences and humanities perspectives and through interdisciplinary conversations, what constitutes responsible AI development, application, and governance. It aims to offer a platform for international researchers to exchange insights, discuss new approaches, and foster interdisciplinary collaborations that will enhance and deepen our understanding of what it means to engage with AI responsibly. We welcome presentations from a wide range of methodological and theoretical perspectives, across the social sciences and humanities. We are particularly interested in work that builds or reflects on research conducted and interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers in the computer sciences. Submissions may include, but are not limited to: * Analyses of social, ethical and political dimensions of AI development and use practices across various fields of application (e.g., medicine, industry, labor market, finance, etc.) * Analyses of the social, political and economic ecosystems in which AI is currently developed, including big data infrastructures * Methodological challenges in studying AI in development and practice (e.g. in integrative, trans-/interdisciplinary, and participatory settings) * Complex relations of academic and industry-based research in AI * Theoretical and conceptual consideration for expanding conceptions of responsible AI * Sociotechnical innovations for embedding responsibility into AI systems * Analyses specifically focused on questions of social justice, inclusion and equity in AI development and practice This interdisciplinary event will take place from 8th to 10th April 2025 at the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation in Munich, Germany. Please submit your title, abstract (max. 300 words) and a short bio (max. 150 words) to kathrin.hertle(a)hfph.de until 15th December 2024. Alongside traditional academic articles, we also consider alternative ways of communicating research, such as videos, short stories, photo essays, posters, verse, among others. _Venue_ Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung [3] Südliches Schloßrondell 23 80638 Munich, Germany ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (Sonderband, Deadline: 30.10.2025) The Monist: Rediscovering Carl Stumpf _The Monist_ invites submissions for an upcoming thematic issue of the journal on the philosophy of Carl Stumpf. Advisory editors: Hamid Taieb (Humboldt University of Berlin) & Mark Textor (King's College London) Publication date: April 2027 Carl Stumpf (1848-1936) was a central figure of German-speaking philosophy and psychology at the turn of the twentieth century. He is a pioneer of Gestalt psychology and the philosophy and psychology of music. Stumpf was a pupil of Franz Brentano and Hermann Lotze, and he himself influenced his student Edmund Husserl, as well as psychologists such as Wolfgang Köhler and Max Wertheimer, who were Stumpf's students as well. Stumpf's work is original and contains groundbreaking contributions to a range of topics. He defended nativism about space by arguing that perception has multiple contents. This thought plays also an important role in his analysis of the perception of sound (especially the perception of chords) and it set Gestaltpsychology on its course. His theory of feelings contrasts fruitfully with that of James and Brentano. He worked out a defense of critical realism, a trope ontology, a non-psychologistic epistemology, a detailed analysis of sensory contents, an account of the objectivity of concepts and propositions without abstract objects, and he explored many other specific topics, such as the origins of music. In addition, he devoted much time to reflecting on the subject-matter of the different sciences and on how they should be classified. In parallel to his theoretical investigations, he also made experimentations in psychology and musicology. He corresponded with Gottlob Frege, William James, and Hermann Lotze, among others. Given the originality of Stumpf's work, it is surprising that it is neglected in the literature. There is very little engagement with Stumpf systematically and/or historically. This special issue of _The Monist_ aims to change this situation. Its goal is to unlock the potential of Stumpf's thought and to introduce his work to a broader philosophical audience. It welcomes submissions from experts on Stumpf's philosophy and from experts on philosophers that influenced or were influenced by Stumpf as well as from philosophers that engage with important themes in Stumpf from a contemporary perspective. _Submission Information_ All submissions should be prepared for anonymous review and sent to the advisory editors: hamid.taieb(a)hu-berlin.de and mark.textor(a)kcl.ac.uk Manuscripts received from the call will first go through a pre-selection by the advisory editors. The manuscripts passing it will be sent for full double-blind review process. Word limit: 7'000 words, including notes and references. Please follow the journal's Author Guidelines [4]. ****************************************** (4) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Darmstadt, 28-29.11.2024) Workshop: Gibt es eine Philosophie des Rechtsextremismus? Bei der Erforschung der Kommunikationsstrategien der „Neuen Rechten" stößt man unweigerlich auf eine verwirrende Erkenntnis: Die Neue Rechte beansprucht immer wieder die Philosophie für sich. Die (akademische) Philosophie hingegen schweigt in der Regel dazu. In diesem interdisziplinären Online-Workshop des BMBF-geförderten Projekts „Meme, Ideen, Strategien rechtsextremistischer Internetkommunikation" (MISRIK) am 28. und 29. November 2024 wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob es eine Philosophie des Rechtsextremismus - als Genitivus Subiectivus wie auch Obiectivus - überhaupt gibt und wenn ja, in welchem Sinne. Auf welche philosophischen Autor*innen, Themen, Probleme, Konzepte, Disziplinen oder Schulen bezieht sich die extreme (neue) Rechte? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, werden wir aktuelle Phänomene und Diskurse der Neuen Rechten im digitalen Raum sowie (historische) Anleihen bei Philosoph*innen von Carl Schmitt bis Alexander Dugin innerhalb dieser Szene untersuchen. Programm und Anmeldung: https://www.philosophie.tu-darmstadt.de/misrik/veranstaltungen/ws_philosoph… Bitte beachten Sie, dass eine Anmeldung erforderlich ist. Wir senden Ihnen dann rechtzeitig die Zugangsdaten zu Zoom zu.

APSE talk by Gurminder K. Bhambra on "Critical Theory and the Need for a Political Economy of Colonialism", Nov 14th, 3-5 PM, ONLINE

by Irene Salzmann

Dear all, We are happy to invite you to the first APSE (Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology) lecture of the semester, with a talk by Gurminder K. Bhambra (University of Sussex). Title: Critical Theory and the Need for a Political Economy of Colonialism When/Where: Thursday, 14th of November, 3-5 pm, ONLINE! You can join the event via the following Zoom link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69090163424?pwd=Y2JCxwmd7L88U1OPOLw7OCrGuuxZIe.1 Abstract: Frankfurt School critical theory is grounded in a theory of capitalist modernity which, in common with wider sociological approaches, elides histories of colonialism. This results in a misdiagnosis of current problems of inequality and inadequate solutions for their address. Many critical theorists, for example, focus primarily on issues of redistribution associated with a capital-labour relation organised nationally and now seen to be threatened by globalisation and migration. Such an understanding fails to account for how the decommodification of labour through the development of national welfare arrangements in the West – an explicit issue for critical theory from Habermas's "Legitimation Crisis" onward – has been bound to wider colonial histories and, specifically, colonial patrimonies. A proper address of these issues requires a more expansive approach to distributive justice conducted in a reparative frame that recognizes the ways in which the legacies of our shared, but asymmetrically experienced, colonial pasts continue to configure the present and its possibilities. It involves making colonial histories central to understandings of capitalist modernity and to the normative address of inequalities that otherwise risk being legitimated by the standard accounts of critical theory. In this talk, I take issue with the central conceptualisation of modern society as capitalist at its core, and the way in which capitalism is understood separately from colonialism. I further question the implicit nationalism of critical theory and argue that what is missing from it is a political economy of colonialism. Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone who might be interested. All details can also to be found here: https://apse.univie.ac.at/news-events/detailsansicht/news/critical-theory-a… Best wishes, Irene Salzmann (on behalf of the APSE unit)

The position will be affiliated with the Chair of Theoretical Political Science (Prof. Dr. Johannes Marx) at the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg or the Chair of Philosophy I (Prof. Dr. Olivier Roy) at the University of Bayreuth as part of the research project "Simulating Collective Agency "(SColA), funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Description: The SColA project studies mechanisms underlying the emergence and stability of collective agency. It first investigates the role of shared beliefs and intentions for the emergence and stability of collective agents, and second, it studies how these shared attitudes contribute to the stability, growth, or decline of autonomy in such groups. The project will do so through a computational and game-theoretical study of so-called' team reasoning' (Bacharach, 2006), an extension of classical non-cooperative game theory in which the players can reason either individually or as a team member. Candidate profile: * Initiative and aptitude for teamwork. * Background in Philosophy or Political Science, interested in theoretical questions and computational approaches. * Familiarity with decision, game theory, and practical philosophy in the analytic tradition. * Basic experience with programming. The position is relatively flexible and can be adapted to the successful candidate's timeline and experience, e.g. by turning it to a 1.0 FTE for a shorter period. Its main purpose is to conduct scientific research related to the SColA project. It could, however, also be used to prepare a funding application for a follow-up position. The SColA project finishes on November 30th, 2025, and the position cannot be extended beyond that date. Remote work is possible. More information on the respective Chairs: https://www.uni-bamberg.de/poltheorie/team-politische-theorie/marx/ and https://www.philosophie1.uni-bayreuth.de [1] Application: Applicants should send a cover letter, CV including a publication list, and one recommendation letter as one PDF document to Johannes Marx (johannes.marx(a)uni-bamberg.de) and Olivier Roy (olivier.roy(a)uni-bayreuth.de).

The workshop is mainly designed as an in person event but it will be possible to listen online (and ask questions in the Q&A). There will be NO recordings of the talks. Organized by: Christian Herzog (Universität zu Lübeck) & Deniz Sarikaya (Vrije Universiteit Brussels & Universität zu Lübeck) == Topic: In 1960, physicist and Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner wrote an article entitled "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences." Wigner was surprised that the mathematical structure of a physical theory not only accurately describes the physical world but also leads to new predictions and further advances. This phenomenon puzzled him, leading to the term "unreasonable effectiveness": Why is mathematics so effective in describing the natural world? More recently, a Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for work that many might consider to belong to computer science. The first image of a black hole, for example, relied heavily on sophisticated code. Formal tools are now integral to many complex measurements, cutting across various scientific practices. We are organizing a two-day exploratory workshop. The main theme will broadly explore the applicability of mathematics both within and outside its traditional boundaries. Day 1 will focus on the use of mathematical tools in the sciences, particularly in the life sciences. The life sciences are increasingly becoming more mathematical, and there are ongoing fruitful discussions-both scientific and philosophical-on how mathematics should be coordinated with biological and medical phenomena. Day 2 will shift to internal mathematical considerations, such as how formal tools, like theorem-proving software, can be applied to these interdisciplinary efforts. Moreover, "applicability" has become a major theme in mathematical research, as some analytical resources prove to be more suitable for different contexts within pure mathematics. This is a topic that has recently garnered the attention of philosophers of mathematics, especially those interested in the "practice turn" in philosophy. Finally, a common thread throughout both days of the workshop is the ethical dimension. The way we mathematize and quantify the real world, and how automation influences various fields, has wide-reaching implications for society and numerous professional practices. == Speakers: * Thorsten Altenkirch (University of Nottingham) * Ozan Altan Altinok (CELLS, Leibniz Universität Hannover) * Bernhard Fisseni (Universität Duisburg-Essen) * Christian Herzog (Universität zu Lübeck) * Deborah Kant (Universität Hamburg) * Benedikt Löwe (Universität Hamburg & Cambridge University) [Online] * José Antonio Perez-Escobar (UNED, Madrid) * Bernhard Schröder (Universität Duisburg-Essen) * Cristina Villegas (Universidade de Lisboa) * Diedrich Wolter (Universität zu Lübeck) * More TBA == Supported by: Die Akademie der Wissenschaften in Hamburg, Ethical Innovation Hub of the Universität zu Lübeck, and Institut für Medizingeschichte und Wissenschaftsforschung der Universität zu Lübeck. The Event is also endorsed by the CIPSH Chair: Diversity of Mathematical Research Cultures and Practices. ****************************************** (7) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Wien, 28.11.2024) 32.

At the same time, a promising hypothesis in the theory of normativity is that normative phenomena (including moral phenomena) can be explained in terms of reasons, i.e., in terms of the factors that count in favour of actions or attitudes. The aim of this workshop is to investigate and discuss the relation between moral rights and normative reasons. The workshop will focus on (but is not limited to) questions such as the following: What are the connections between moral rights, moral duties, and moral reasons? Can rights be analysed in terms of reasons or should rights be regarded as reason-providing? What (if anything) do reasons-based analyses of rights imply for the justification of moral rights and for first-order moral theory? What can our best accounts of moral rights contribute to our understanding of normative reasons? Participation is free, but registration is required and places are limited. Registration deadline: 8 January 2025.

IVC Talk: Georg Schiemer "On two types of instrumental devices", November 14, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Georg Schiemer, who will give a talk on November 14, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Georg Schiemer On two types of instrumental devices Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 14/11/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: Instrumental devices are linguistic expressions that are formal or non-representational but nevertheless indispensable or at least instrumentally useful for certain theoretical purposes. We give a systematic study of such expressions and their roles in theorizing, thus offering a unified treatment of instrumental devices across different philosophical areas. Specifically, we present an explication of two general types of such devices, namely merely expressive devices and merely inferential devices and discuss their respective theoretical roles based on a number of philosophical examples. Joint work with Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich).

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.

A travel lover stops flying to distant places in the face of climate change. A politician begins to seek power instead of justice. Sometimes changing preferences seems to be a good thing; at other times, it appears regrettable. How we evaluate such changes is an important question. At the same time, we must understand how preference change comes about in the first place. Why do one person's preferences change in response to a given situation when the preferences of another person - in a similar situation - do not? When is it rational to change one's preferences? Despite its strengths, standard decision theory cannot answer these questions. That is, it cannot describe fundamental preference changes. This calls for a paradigm shift in the relevant academic disciplines. However, it is only recently that decision theorists have started to develop new approaches to examining the question of preference change. Furthermore, crucial normative issues have been neglected. For example, once we better understand preference change, some might suggest that we should try to change people's preferences, building on recent influential research concerning changing the behavior and choices of individuals via "nudges" or by modifying the "choice-architecture." This project will adopt a conceptual, model-building, rational and normative approach to motivational change and develop and empirically test an original model of preference change. Its main objectives are: (1) To understand motivational change better, both descriptively and conceptually (What is motivational change? How should motivational change be modeled?) (2) To develop an original model of motivational change - the "commitment-based theory" - and test whether it is normatively and descriptively adequate (Does the theory stand up to normative testing? Does the theory make correct predictions?) (3) To explore and evaluate the normative dimensions of preference change (When is a preference change rational? Are there other normative constraints on motivational change? Are adaptive preferences rational? Why are adaptive preferences so relevant in the context of current feminist philosophy? Should we change people's preferences?) _PhD Project_ In tackling some of these problems, the applicant can work within the following areas: - Nudging - Adaptive Preferences - Ethics - Rationality - Value Theory - Decision Theory - Other topic related to the project on Motivational Change _Scientific Requirements_ The candidate should: - Have a Master's degree in philosophy at the moment of starting the PhD position - Have a strong analytical background - Be an independent thinker, enthusiastic and physically present - Be socially competent and motivated to work with people in the Department _Salary _ The PhD position is fully funded for 4 years. _How to Apply_ Applications must be sent by e-mail to Michael Messerli (mich_messerli(a)yahoo.de) by 20 January 2025.

This new perspective, going back to Ludwig Wittgenstein's late work, takes its moves from the key assumption that our belief systems are ultimately supported by sets of unquestioned pre-theoretical presuppositions, which function as the hinges of our systems of thought. Hinge Epistemology, as the area of research sprouting from this basic model has come to be known, has taken a more applied and interdisciplinary turn in recent years. Drawing on cognitive scientific theories, hinges have been compared to procedural knowledge, drawing on feminist theory and social science, they have been compared with prejudices. Additionally, hinge epistemologists have engaged with the Moorean concept of common knowledge. _Appropriate Topics for Submission include, among others: _ * How do hinges relate to non-standard, non-JTB, kinds of knowledge? * What role do hinges play for political disagreement? * How can hinges be applied in cognitive scientific models? * What role do hinges play in pedagogical contexts? * What is the ethics of hinge epistemology? For further information, please contact the guest editor(s): j.ohlhorst2(a)vu.nl; The deadline for submissions is 01.04.2025. Submissions to the Topical Collection will be subject to the normal Synthese review process.

The theme of the Winter School is Climate Change and the Long-Term Future. It will consist of 6 lecture tutorials where topics related to the theme will be discussed from different disciplinary viewpoints: Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). To facilitate attendance by people from outside the Netherlands and Europe, the winter school will be held online. _Theme_ Climate change is among the biggest challenges humanity faces today. How should individuals, societies, and humanity at large respond to climate change and other long-term challenges? Far from being a question for the natural sciences alone, a good answer also requires a 'PPE perspective', that is, a perspective that combines philosophy, politics, and economics. In this winter school, different researchers will take a PPE perspective in exploring climate change and our ethical and political obligations towards future people. The winter school starts with fundamental normative questions, such as: What are our moral obligations to future people? Do they extend to all future people and, if so, does this imply that our longtermist moral duties trump any short-term concerns? Climate change mitigation is typically seen as a collective action problem and calls for an institutional solution that facilitates widespread cooperation among individuals and countries. But what exactly makes for successful and sustainable institutions? And a social-psychological perspective will ask: what explains people's attitudes and actions towards the environment and future generations and how can those be improved? How can democracies respond to wide disagreement around climate impacts and appropriate mitigation measures? And, finally, what are effective solutions to securing a sustainable energy supply? For example, should such a mix include nuclear energy? And are European carbon pricing initiatives on the right track? _Programme _ Prof Lisa Herzog [6], 'Climate Science and Democracy - Considerations from Political Epistemology' Prof Frank Hindriks [7], 'Sustainable institutions' Prof Marijke Leliveld [8], 'Sustainability and other moral behavior: a psychological perspective' Prof Edwin Woerdman [9], 'Carbon pricing policies in the EU: a law and economics perspective' Prof Simon Friederich [10], 'Climate change as a collective action problem and the importance of very cheap energy' Prof Andreas T. Schmidt [11], 'Longtermism and our duty towards far-future people' The winter school is aimed at advanced undergraduate students and early-stage graduate students. It also offers students interested in studying the PPE Master [12] in Groningen an insight into the kinds of teaching and research done at the PPE Centre. _Registration_ To register, send us an email, letting us know your name, affiliation, and what you study (which subject and whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student) toa.t.schmidt(a)rug.nl with 'Registration for winter school' as subject, no later than _December 29, 2024_. Depending on registration numbers, we will give preference to advanced undergraduate students. _General Information_ * Dates: January 9 - 10, 2025 * Registration deadline: December 29, 2024 * Location: online Further inquiries can be directed to a.t.schmidt(a)rug.n Links: ------ [1] https://stellenausschreibungen.uni-wuppertal.de/ [2] https://praefaktisch.de/about/ [3] http://www.vakante-professuren.uni-frankfurt.de/ [4] https://www.rug.nl/education/summer-winter-schools/winter_schools/winter-sc… [5] https://www.rug.nl/filosofie/?lang=en [6] https://www.rug.nl/staff/l.m.herzog/ [7] https://www.rug.nl/staff/f.a.hindriks/ [8] https://www.rug.nl/staff/m.c.leliveld/ [9] https://www.rug.nl/staff/e.woerdman/ [10] https://www.rug.nl/staff/s.m.friederich/ [11] https://www.andreastschmidt.com/ [12] https://www.rug.nl/masters/philosophy-politics-and-economics/#!afterstudies

IVC Talk: Lorenzo Sartori on "Scientific Pictures, Models, and their Justification", November 7, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Lorenzo Sartori (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on November 7, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Lorenzo Sartori SCIENTIFIC PICTURES, MODELS, AND THEIR JUSTIFICATION Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 07/11/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G ABSTRACT: In this paper, I first show that similarity accounts of scientific pictures fail with more realistic cases of scientific pictures. My primary case study is the picture of a black hole, from which I develop an interpretation-based account of picture representation analogous to how models represent: a picture represents a designated target system iff, once interpreted, it exemplifies properties that are then imputed to the target via a de-idealising function. Then, I show that justification of the inferences from pictures crucially depends on their causal mechanisms of production, in contrast with the standard justificatory strategies we employ for model inferences.
