Budget 2025

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

Dear VDP Members, This is to inform you that information about funding for events, grants and scholarships for the year 2025 is not available on Moodle. The Rectorate has increased our budget for this year. The budget for doctoral schools is calculated on the basis of the performance of the school, i.e. the number of graduates, the timely passing of the FÖP, the submission of the dissertation agreement, and the annual reports. One of the factors for this increase is the overall good performance for which you are responsible. On behalf of our Directors and Steering Committee, I would like to thank you for this. My special thanks go to each of the doctoral candidates who put a lot of effort into organizing these events and to our new SSC student assistant, Isabel Seelmann, who has worked very diligently and contributed with fresh ideas and work to make the FÖP a more comfortable space. I would also take this opportunity to remind you to be on time with the compulsory milestones of your doctorate, if they are not on time, see: https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/phd-program/compulsory-activities/ Importantly, the budget increase will be reflected in the number of activities and calls the school government is planning for this year and in the calls you will receive in the next days/weeks, such as the Writing Retreat, which is listed in the document. I wish you a good end of the semester, and thank you very much for participating so actively in the FÖP, which has had record attendance this semester, and in the pragmatic academic events and writing evenings. Stay tuned, Raphael Aybar

A student conference and a workshop Tübingen, 15-17 April 2025 Organised by Silvia Caprioglio Panizza and Eva-Maria Düringer Funded by the DFG Research Grant Natural Badness: Suffering and Its Place in Contemporary Virtue Ethics We welcome abstract submissions for the student conference on 'Suffering and Attention' which will take place at the University of Tübingen on 15 April 2025. Students at all stages, from BA and MA to PhD, are very welcome to apply. Come and share your ideas in an inclusive, constructive, and non-adversarial environment! The conference will be followed by a workshop with invited speakers on 16 and 17 April 2025 (see below). Description: Suffering has always been topical. Where there is life, there is the capacity to suffer. The contemporary world is plagued by increasing wars, migration crises, and political extremism. Billions of animals suffer and die every day due to human consumption and climate change. Global mental health has been worsening for decades. But what precisely is suffering? It is more than pain, and it is more than things going badly. But what? And what, if anything, should we do about it? The nature of suffering has recently become a topic of lively debate in analytic philosophy. In Suffering and Virtue (2018), Michael Brady thinks of suffering as 'displeasures that we mind', while the volume The Philosophy of Suffering (2020), co-edited by Brady, David Bain and Jennifer Corns, collects a wide array of different views: suffering is conceived e.g. as negatively construing one's situation, as a severe mental disruption, or as an emotion directed at pain. Different as these views are, they all agree that suffering is essentially experiential. But not even this seems to be a given. Corns (2022) has recently argued that suffering is significantly disrupted agency, hence not essentially marked by any experience at all - a view shared by some virtue ethical stances on suffering who take suffering to consist in prevention of flourishing, experienced or not. The account of suffering we accept has a bearing on the way we will answer the ethical questions that suffering gives rise to: How do we engage with suffering, in ourselves and others? Do we have a duty always to alleviate or minimise it? Should we ever welcome it? Is it acceptable to look away, or do we have a responsibility to pay attention to it? And how do we attend to it without being crushed? The aim of this conference is to raise questions about the nature and ethics of suffering by putting in conversation contemporary analytic approaches with historical, continental, and non-Western traditions, and by broadening the scope to include reflections on the suffering of both human and non-human animals, environmental perspectives, and questions of suffering in the philosophy of medicine and mental health. * Students with an interest in the topic should feel encouraged to apply, even if their work does not fit neatly into any of the approaches outlined. Questions to be addressed include, but are not limited to: - What is the nature of suffering? - Is suffering ever to be welcomed? - Simone Weil, attention and affliction - Suffering and attention in Buddhist philosophy - What does it mean to attend to suffering? Is it possible, and ought we to do it? - What kinds of moral responsibility, if any, does suffering give rise to? - How does suffering in oneself compare to our perception and response to suffering in others? - What is the proper way to respond to suffering? - How do different philosophical traditions understand suffering, and what are their main contributions and weaknesses? Students are invited to submit a 200 word abstract (approximately), suitable for a 15-20 minute talk followed by a short Q&A, to silvia.caprioglio-panizza(a)uni-tuebingen.de by 10 February 2025. Decisions will be sent within two weeks of that date. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at the email address above. * Participants at the conference are welcome, but not required to, attend the workshop after the conference. The workshop speakers are: Elisa Aaltola (University of Turku), Michael Brady (University of Glasgow), Silvia Caprioglio Panizza (University of Tübingen), Dorothea Debus (University of Konstanz), Eva-Maria Düringer (University of Tübingen), Ian James Kidd (University of Nottingham), Kamila Pacovská (University of Pardubice), Christopher Thomas (Manchester Metropolitan University), Mariëtte Willemsen (Amsterdam University College) Please note that the conference/workshop and refreshments are free for everyone, but unfortunately we are unable to offer travel bursaries for accepted participants. ****************************************** (2) CALL FOR PAPERS (Berlin, Deadline: 03.03.2025) 2. Studi-Kongress für öffentliche Philosophie 25.-27.4 Wir sind eine Initiative von Studierenden der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin und veranstalten vom 25.-27. April 2025 unseren zweiten Studierenden-Kongress für öffentliche Philosophie. Angesichts einer zunehmend polarisierenden Diskurskultur und dem Erstarken von Post-Truth Phänomenen wie Fake News und Bullshitting, ist es unser Ziel, den Wert der differenzierten Argumentation wieder in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. In der Philosophie behandeln wir viele gesellschaftsrelevante Themen auf hohem Niveau - verbleiben damit aber häufig im akademischen Elfenbeinturm. Das wollen wir ändern. Zudem möchten wir Studierenden die Möglichkeit geben, ihre Forschung der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren und dadurch philosophische Selbstwirksamkeit zu erfahren. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie unseren Call for Paper an Studierende weiterleiten würden bzw. in Ihren Seminaren darauf aufmerksam machen. Die Einsende-Deadline ist der 3.3.2025. Den Call for Paper und alle weiteren Informationen und Kontaktmöglichkeiten finden Sie in unserem Linktree: https://linktr.ee/pragmatische.philosophie ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (Saarbrücken, Deadline: 10.04.2025) WoW 2025 - Workshop on Welfare and Ethics 2-3 July 2025 Saarland University, Germany _Keynote speakers_ Chris Heathwood (University of Colorado, Boulder) Hilary Greaves (Oxford University) _Information on the workshop_ Considerations about the nature of welfare, the value of welfare, its distribution, or welfare-based claims and complaints are central to moral philosophy. They are of particular concern for all philosophers who take welfare to be (at least) one source for normative reasons. Evaluative and deontic considerations about welfare provide an array of fascinating philosophical questions. It is (quite) uncontroversial that welfare has moral value and provides moral reasons; but it is highly contested how in particular. We ought not to harm people, but do we also ought to benefit them? Does this include future people - even if their existence depends on our actions? And can we aggregate people's welfare, or should we limit the trade-offs between their harms and benefits? Our account of welfare has implications for ethics; but do ethical considerations also provide reasons to adopt one or another theory of welfare? What is the interaction between theories of welfare and the ethics of welfare? Some lives are better and some are worse; but what constitutes their prudential value? Are well-being and ill-being analogous or do they differ in structure and relevance - and what do particular theories imply? What are the relevant underlying concepts of desire, pleasure, friendship, or other objective goods on which welfare may depend? This workshop provides a forum for the discussion of those and related questions. It aims at rallying scholars of philosophy to expand our understanding in these issues, and we hope to promote the philosophical engagement with ethics, welfare, and how they interact. _Call for Papers_ We are inviting submissions for talks, which should be between 20 and 30 minutes in length. We are particularly interested in current or future research projects, and especially welcome submissions from philosophers in underrepresented groups. To propose a talk, please send an abstract of approximately 500 words as a PDF attachment to workshoponwelfare(a)gmail.com. The abstract should be suitable for blind review, i.e. it should not contain any information that may identify you as the author. The deadline for submission is 10 April 2025. We aim to notify you about the acceptance of your paper by the end of April. Please make sure that the email to which the abstract is attached contains your name, institutional affiliation, and the title of the paper. The workshop is organised by Jonas Harney (TU Dortmund University), Thorsten Helfer (Saarland University), Maximilian Klein (Saarland University) and Hasko von Kriegstein (Toronto Metropolitan University) and generously supported by UdS Professorship for Practical Philosophy.

Januar.2025, 17.00 Uhr, Hörsaal I (Karl-Rahner-Platz 3):_ _The Ontology of Individual Particulars_ _Abstract_ Peter Strawson claimed that each object of our everyday experience is one qua individual particular. However, why would something be one (= single), if it is individual and also particular? I argue that individuality and particularity introduce two different ways of being one; individuality is descriptive, while particularity is indexical. And yet, each object is one! How can this be? I argue that Aristotle, too, had thought that an object is an individual particular (_tode ti - hekaston/ti_), but he argued that, additionally, the oneness of an individual particular requires metaphysical justification. Aristotle's solution is that an 'individual particular' is one because what's particular qualifies what's individual in the object (particularising it). I further suggest the alternative possibility of developing the converse of Aristotle's solution for oneness, namely, that an 'individual particular' is one because what's individual qualifies what's particular in the object (individualising it). I do so by leaning on the (anti-Aristotelian, anti-descriptivist) 'indexical metaphysics' of Michael Ayers. _Masterclass With Anna Marmodoro: 29. Januar.2025, 10.00 Uhr, Dekanatssitzungssaal (Karl-Rahner-Platz 3):_ _Augustine's De Ordine_ Augustine approaches the problem of evil in _De Ordine_, trying to show that God is not causally responsible for _all_ human actions -specifically, he is not responsible for evil ones. In her unpublished paper, Marmodoro argues that Augustine's intuition, as developed through his dialectical engagement with Licentius, is that _all _human actions are governed by determinism, but _not all_are governed by teleology. More abstractly, Augustine's idea is that efficient causation may be decoupled from teleological causation; this is the case when evil happens. In this masterclass, we explore Marmodoro's main ideas on _De Ordine_ and discuss her interpretation of the metaphysical commitments underlying Augustine's thought.

Please register by sending an e-mail to pluralism.workshop(a)uni-wuppertal.de by _07.02.2025_. _About the Workshop_ The idea that science should converge on a single, ultimate truth has become contested as the dominant view in the academic world; scientific pluralism has gained wide acceptance. However, these discussions have become so rich and entangled that now we can speak of a confusing "plurality of [scientific] pluralisms" (Wylie 2015). The overall goal of this workshop is to examine and clarify different ideas of scientific pluralism. While proponents of scientific pluralism argue that pluralism offers a range of epistemic benefits which are conducive to scientific progress (Chang, 2012, 2022), pluralism not only comes with benefits but also with costs (e.g., Lari and Mäki 2024). This raises the question of the conditions under which pluralism contributes to scientific progress and those under which it may impede it. In addition to its role in promoting progress, the relationship between pluralism and the social and institutional organisation of science is also a subject of growing debate. Given that science is significantly shaped by social values (Longino 1990), scientific pluralism is increasingly discussed in the context of social and epistemic diversity as a crucial element for objective and inclusive knowledge production. One of the primary subjects to be addressed is that of how diverse research groups can fruitfully collaborate in order to foster scientific progress, and what part institutions play in this process. The workshop investigates the complex relationship between scientific pluralism, epistemic diversity and scientific progress, both theoretically and through the examination of case studies. The overall goal is to discuss whether pluralism hinders or contributes to progress, and to explore the roles of institutional and social structures in this dynamic. A particular focus is put on the social sciences, with an emphasis on the fields of psychology and economics, but case studies from any other field of science are very welcome. _Workshop Themes and Questions:_ _1. Pluralism and Scientific Progress:_ * Under what specific conditions does pluralism contribute to scientific progress, and in what contexts might it impede progress? * How do different forms of pluralism (such as methodological, theoretical, and epistemic) affect the course of scientific progress across various disciplines? * What kind of progress are we talking about in relation to scientific pluralism? _2. Epistemic Diversity:_ * What is the link between epistemic and social diversity and (value) pluralism? * How does epistemic diversity within research teams and scientific communities influence the generation of knowledge? * What are the benefits and challenges of fostering epistemic diversity in scientific research, particularly in the social sciences? _3. __Social Organization and Institutional Structures:_ * What roles do social organization and institutional structures play in fostering or hindering pluralism and epistemic diversity in scientific research? * What institutional measures can be implemented to overcome barriers and promote a more inclusive and cooperative scientific environment? _4. Case Studies:_ * Which scientific fields, e.g. in the social sciences, are particularly interesting for investigating the relationship between pluralism, epistemic diversity, and progress? What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples of pluralistic approaches in the various scientific fields? * What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples where plurality seems to be lacking? _Organizing Committee:_ * Jeremias Düring, University of Wuppertal * Anastasiia Lazutkina, University of Wuppertal * Charlotte Constanze Poller, University of Wuppertal _Keynote Speakers:_ * Paul Hoyningen-Huene * Inkeri Koskinen * David Ludwig For more information, please visit our workshop website https://grk2696.de/scientific-pluralism-workshop/ or contact us at pluralism.workshop(a)uni-wuppertal.de.

IVC Talk: Georg Brun (IVC Fellow) on "Explication Based Pluralism", January 23, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Georg Brun (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on January 23, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Georg Brun (IVC Fellow) EXPLICATION BASED PLURALISM Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 23/01/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: Carnap emphasized that for a given explicandum, there is no such thing as the correct explicatum, but only one or more adequate explicata. This talk addresses two questions: In what ways can an explication problem have more than one solution? In what sense do multiple solutions to explication problems give rise to pluralism? Based on an analysis of the general structure of explications, I will first develop a systematic overview of the surprisingly many factors that can be responsible for multiple outcomes of an explication project. I will then suggest some conditions under which it is plausible to interpret multiple outcomes as giving rise to explication-based pluralism.

Reminder: Fri. 17.01. Teaching in Philosophy & External Teaching Applications - Pragmatic Academic Series

by VD Philosophy

Dear all, You are cordially invited to our last pragmatic academic event of the WS24 on Teaching in Philosophy & External Teaching Applications Date: 17.01.25 - 11:30-13:00 - Room 3A Speakers: Michael Staudigl and Donata Romizi Moderator: Mira Magdalena Sickinger If you're planning to apply for external teaching positions, or if you'd like to brush up on your teaching skills in philosophy, this workshop is for you! Led by Donata Romizi and Michael Staudigl, it will first focus on the structure of applications for external teaching positions, the expectations of decision-making committees, and clues for writing a good application. The second part will focus on teaching preparation. Speakers will share their views on how to teach philosophy in a way that promotes reading, writing and critical thinking skills to undergraduate students, managing their expectations, presenting philosophical ideas, motivating class discussions, assigning homework, and giving feedback. This event is aimed primarily at PhD candidates in philosophy. I ask you to spread the word to those who may be interested. https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/events/details/news/pragmatic-academic-s… Best regards, Raphael -- MSc. Mag.

Call For Abstracts - PSA Around the world 2025

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

https://www.philsci.org/psa_around_the_world_2025.php In 2023, the Philosophy of Science Association launched a new initiative called PSA Around the World. The aim of the initiative is to reach out to the global community of philosophers of science and spotlight the rich diversity of practices and traditions in the field of philosophy of science via fully online conferences with a dedicated regional focus, running in the years when the Biennial Meeting of the PSA does not take place. The second PSA Around the World conference spotlights Eastern and Central Europe and is organized by the East European Network for Philosophy of Science (https://eenps.weebly.com/). The conference is open to all PSA members worldwide. Contributed papers may be on any topic in philosophy of science. Scholars working in Eastern and Central Europe are particularly encouraged to submit papers, and papers exploring the philosophy of science in Eastern and Central European contexts are most welcome. The PSA Around the World 2025 Committee is committed to assembling a program with high-quality papers on a variety of topics and diverse presenters that reflect the full range of current work in the philosophy of science. Given the time zones constraints, and with an eye to increasing diversity of topics, there is no call for symposia for this conference. The conference will run fully online for three days and different time slots to accommodate a global audience in various time zones: Thursday, November 6; Friday, November 14; Saturday, November 22 (precise timing for each day TBA). The conference fee is $50 and is able to be waived. Submissions should consist of a 1000-word abstract and be prepared for anonymous review with no information identifying the author in the body of the abstract. For co-authored papers, the presenting author should submit the abstract. Abstracts should be submitted using the SciencesConf link: http://psaatw25.sciencesconf.org. Users will need to register for a SciencesConf account before submitting an abstract. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2025, 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time. All presenters should be members of the Philosophy of Science Association, but if this represents an unreasonable burden, please reach out to director(a)philsci.org. The Program Committee expects to announce its decision on papers accepted for presentation by June 2025. Authors of accepted abstracts are encouraged to post full-length papers as PSA Around the World 2025 Conference Papers at philsci-archive.pitt.edu (a publicly accessible digital archive) prior to the meeting. Paper presentation at the conference should take no more than 15 minutes to allow 15 minutes for questions (in a 30-minute time slot per paper). In accordance with the current PSA policy no one is permitted to present more than once at each PSA meeting. A scholar may appear as co-author on more than one paper but may present only once at PSA Around the World 2025. General questions about contributed papers should be directed to the Co-Chair of the PSA AtW 2025 Program Committee, Tomáš Marvan, at marvan(a)flu.cas.cz. To maintain anonymity in the review process, questions about specific submissions should be sent to office(a)philsci.org, as this address will be monitored by someone not involved in the review process.

Project description The identity crisis of philosophy is a large-scale phenomenon beginning in the 19th century and extending throughout the entire 20th century, following us even today: many of the questions that were raised in the 19th century are still relevant today: is there a place for philosophy in the development of science? What is the relationship between philosophy and science? To assess such a large-scale phenomenon and its effects on contemporary thought, we need to investigate first its main turning points. This project aims to provide a unified account of the identity crisis of philosophy in the 1930s by examining it through the lens of four philosophical traditions: Neo-Kantianism (Cassirer), logical empiricism (Carnap), phenomenology (Husserl) and hermeneutics (Heidegger).

IVC Talk: Caterina del Sordo (IVC Fellow) on "Quasi-analysis Vs. Explication. The Early Carnap on Conceptual Engineering", January 16, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Caterina del Sorda (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on January 16, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Caterina del Sordo (IVC Fellow) QUASI-ANALYSIS VS. EXPLICATION. THE EARLY CARNAP ON CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date:16/01/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: This paper calls into question the thesis that early Carnap's rational reconstruction arises as a proto-version of his later and more mature idea of explication. The aim of the paper is to show that (1) according to the criteria of similarity, exactness, and fruitfulness, rational reconstruction qualifies as an explication, and that (2) according to their explanatory preconditions, rational reconstruction and explication emerge as processes of conceptual generalization and specification, respectively. To support (1), I consider rational reconstruction, in terms of early Carnap's quasi-analysis, as a representational theory of mathematical structures; to support (2), I rely on formal concept analysis as a common framework for comparing conceptual constructions.

This conference and book volume seek to explore the multifaceted relationship between digitalization and dignity, addressing the challenges that technological advancements pose, for example, to our fundamental rights, privacy, and sense of self-worth. We invite scholars from various philosophical backgrounds and disciplines to contribute to this critical discourse.Issues of control, safety, respect, and justice in online spaces demand urgent attention, calling for a reevaluation of existing ethical frameworks and political philosophies. The opacity of complex algorithms, often referred to as the "black box" problem, poses significant challenges to explainability and transparency, making it difficult for users to understand how decisions affecting them are made. This also calls to address the need for robust regulation and policies to mitigate the adverse effects of digitalization on society. Discussions on digital literacy are also encouraged, as empowering individuals with the knowledge to navigate digital spaces is essential for protecting their dignity and rights. Contributions that offer insights into the ethical considerations and propose solutions for enhancing fairness and reducing discrimination - for example with respect to vulnerable and marginalized groups - in digital systems are highly valued. This call for papers seeks to foster a philosophical dialogue that not only critiques the current state of digital technologies but also envisions a future where dignity is upheld in the face of rapid technological advancement. Papers will be featured in a book volume dedicated to this theme. We invite abstracts of 500 words (in Word format) and a brief CV. Travel and accommodation expenses up to 500EUR can be covered. Please send your abstract before February 28 to the organizers @ this email address: gottfried.schweiger(a)plus.ac.at ****************************************** (2) CALL FOR PAPERS (Duisburg/Essen, Deadline: 28.02.2025) Online Conference "The Language of Psychotherapy: An Interdisciplinary Perspective" The research project "The Therapeutic Game" (PI Stefan Rinner) funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and based at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Duisburg-Essen is organising an interdisciplinary two-day online conference on questions regarding language and its use in psychotherapeutic settings, to be held via Zoom on May 15 and 16.

Traditionally, discussions of metaphor tend to emphasize either its aesthetic aspect, often at the expense of its epistemic value, or vice versa. Our hypothesis, however, is that the aesthetic dimension of metaphors can actively contribute to and enhance their epistemic significance. We think that this investigation naturally leads to questions about the relationship between metaphors and images. For instance, to what extent do metaphors possess pictorial qualities? Some scholars have even suggested the existence of genuine visual metaphors. In this context, it is worth exploring the distinct properties metaphors acquire when realized visually. Further questions are: Can the epistemic value of metaphors be clarified by drawing upon the epistemic value of images? How do the aesthetic and epistemic aspects of images and metaphors relate to each other? What epistemic value can art and aesthetic objects in general hold? Is there a unique epistemic value inherent in metaphors themselves? Which value can metaphors and analogies have for science and (scientific) understanding in general? We invite contributions that explore these and other related questions from the perspectives of philosophy of language, linguistics, epistemology, philosophy of science, aesthetics, art history, or cultural studies. The deadline for submissions is November 1st, 2025. Submissions should be made through the journal's online system. When submitting, please be sure to select our special issue from the dropdown menu provided. If this step is missed, the manuscript will be processed as a regular submission.

Das ist jedenfalls seit Jahren überall zu hören und zu lesen. Haben wir das Argumentieren verlernt? Oder waren wir nie besonders gut darin? Wozu sollten wir überhaupt in den argumentativen Austausch mit anderen treten, und warum fällt uns das so schwer? Bei der Tagung suchen wir Antworten. Dazu betrachten wir im ersten Teil aktuelle Diagnosen des Stands der Debattenkultur. Dabei werden wir unter anderem auf wachsende Sachferne und Wahrheitsvergessenheit, Emotionalisierung und Verrohung stoßen. In einem solchen Klima scheinen sachliche Argumente einen besonders schlechten Stand zu haben. Sollten wir daher unter anderem bei ethischen und politischen Kontroversen besser auf das Argumentieren verzichten und stattdessen versuchen, unsere Positionen mit anderen Mitteln durchzusetzen? Eine alternative Reaktion könnte darin bestehen, sich stärker um die Ausbildung und Förderung argumentativer Fähigkeiten und Haltungen zu bemühen. Da wir diese nicht immer schon besitzen, sondern erst erwerben müssen, bedürfte es dazu neuer Bildungsformate. Im zweiten Teil der Tagung stellen wir unter anderem Praxis-Projekte vor, die eben dies leisten sollen. Zum Abschluss loten wir aus, inwieweit sich die Debattenkultur durch solche Initiativen verbessern lässt. Die Tagung richtet sich an Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren im schulischen und außerschulischen Bildungsbereich und darüber hinaus an alle Interessierten.

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.

(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.

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).

CfA - Identity and Right-Wing Ideology (Berlin, 14 February 2025)

by Raphael Gustavo Aybar Valdivia

Call for Abstracts Graduate Conference Identity and Right-Wing Ideology Freie Universität Berlin Institute for Philosophy 14 February 2025 Confirmed keynote speakers: Nikita Dhawan (TU Dresden) and Torsten Menge (Northwestern University in Qatar) Right-wing movements have increased exponentially over the last decade. They pose a threat to democratic political systems by promoting nationalism, xenophobia, racism, and politically motivated violence. They tend to be structured around exclusive identities involving political myths about the existence of supra-personal entities or groups. These identities are portrayed as something under threat that is nonetheless worth preserving. An example is the Great Replacement Theory, which claims that white, Christian Europeans are being demographically and culturally replaced, usually by Muslim populations. This theory is, of course, not supported by quantitative evidence. However, proponents of this theory include prominent mainstream politicians (e.g., Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, or Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary) and people in extraordinary positions of power (e.g., businessman Elon Musk). Equally, a great proportion of the incidents involving considerable political violence (i.e., terror attacks such as the Christchurch Mosque shootings, or Anders Breivik’s attacks) occurring in recent years have been motivated by fears fuelled by this theory. This form of identity – conceived as a set of characteristics of a social group – involves a different, relational understanding implied by the desire for the former to 'remain the same'. In metaphysics, identity is conceived in two ways: qualitative (as a relation between two entities that have the same properties) and numerical (as a relation that an entity can only have with itself, usually conceived and examined as it is extended temporally). These issues come up in the context of the metaphysics of the self, as the question of personal identity over time. This asks what a necessary and sufficient condition is for a person at one point in time to be (numerically) identical with a person at another point in time – or what constitutes this identity. We invite abstracts from graduate students in philosophy and the social sciences that explore the ways in which right-wing ideology involves matters of identity. While interdisciplinary approaches are welcome, the aim will be to focus on the metaphysical commitments about identity these tend to involve. Conversely, can insights from metaphysics, especially but not limited to the question of personal identity (e.g., reductionism), be used to critique right-wing concerns, such as those involved by the great replacement theory? And on what grounds can we distinguish legitimate concerns that involve comparable identity relations (e.g., those informing anti-colonial struggles)? Participants will be offered up to 20 minutes to present their papers, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Presentations will be in English. Bursaries will be awarded to help with travel costs (paid as an honorarium). Priority will be given to those who cannot rely on institutional support to cover these costs. Submission guidelines: Please submit an abstract of up to 400 words by 12 January 2025. The abstract should be sent to mihnea.chiujdea(a)fu-berlin.de, attached to an e-mail with the subject “Abstract”, along with your name, affiliation, a brief biographical note and information regarding travel fund needs. Successful applicants will be notified by 17 January.

Jänner 2025, 18.30 Uhr FAKTory | Literatur, Wissen und Beratung für Studierende Universitätsstraße 9, 1010 Wien Mitte der 1920er Jahre entwickelte ein Team rund um den Ökonomen und Wissenschaftsphilosophen Otto Neu rath die Wiener Methode der Bildstatistik. Vor allem für Arbeiter*innen und an Schulen sollten soziale und ökonomische Zusammenhänge bildhaft vermittelt werden. Austrofaschismus und Nationalsozialismus zwangen die Gruppe zur Flucht, ihre Bildsprache aber wurde international. Ab Mitte der 1930er Jahre hieß sie ISOTYPE International System Of TYpographic Picture Education.

Webinar Invitation: Policy bias in economic research and the epistemological problems of econometrics: Lessons for designing economic policy processes | Jan 14, 3pm

by Zarah Weiss

Invitation Policy bias in economic research and the epistemological problems of econometrics: Lessons for designing economic policy processes SUERF BAFFI Bocconi webinar Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Online, Webex, 3-4.30 pm A recent paper finds considerable policy bias in economic research. Jelveh, Kogut and Naidu (2024) show that partisanship is detectable across fields and within fields, even across those estimating the same theoretical parameter. This poses serious challenges to economic policy development. 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. Yet, 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 models and econometrics as well as the inevitable role of expert judgement. Yet, understanding these challenges would be crucial to design policy processes that effectively address potential policy biases on economic policy development and ensure the integrity of that process. This SUERF panel discussion discusses how serious the policy bias in economic research is and how it affects policy development. Furthermore, panellists will explain how that policy bias is possible even when rigorous mathematical /statistical methods are employed. Finally, the panel suggests design features of economic policy development processes that improve its integrity in the face of the policy bias in economic research.

Project description: Some of the core fields of philosophy - including moral philosophy, value theory, and epistemology - are, at their heart, concerned with normative questions: questions about what is good or bad, right or wrong, justified or unjustified. These questions concern the content of judgements that human beings are constantly making and that structure our way of thinking, feeling, and acting. But while there is wide agreement in contemporary philosophy that normative judgements form a unified and important category of human thought, philosophers still struggle to understand what normativity actually is. One highly attractive hypothesis is that normativity can be analysed in terms of reasons - i.e. in terms of the factors that count in favour of or against actions or attitudes. The aim of REASONS F1RST is to systematically explore this Reasons-First Approach on a large scale and across various philosophical subdisciplines. Fostering multidisciplinary conversations between moral philosophy, epistemology, value theory, aesthetics, the philosophy of emotions, and related areas, the project will develop novel analyses of normative phenomena. It also seeks to address recent challenges to the Reasons-First Approach and to compare it to competing approaches. REASONS F1RST thus pursues a twofold objective: (i) to assess the merits and demerits of the Reasons-First Approach compared to alternative proposals, and (ii) to work out in detail how different normative phenomena - including values, obligations and rights, the justification of beliefs, as well as appropriateness norms for emotions - can be explained in terms of reasons. The work programme of REASONS F1RST will be carried out in four sub-projects: (1) Reasons and Value; (2) Reasons and Ought; (3) Reasons and Knowledge; and (4) Reasons and Fittingness. According to our present plans, one of the advertised positions is associated with sub-project (3), while the other is associated with sub-project (4). However, we will also seriously consider applications from candidates whose research interests concern other aspects of the project. Further information on the project is available at the project website: https://thestructureofnormativity.net/project.

Symposium Organizers: Leonie N. Bossert, Bernice Bovenkerk, Mark Ryan Symposium Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to dramatically impact the lives of domesticated, urban, and wild non-human animals (hereafter: animals), for good or bad (Singer and Fai Tse, 2023). AI-powered drones can take companion dogs for a walk, and animal robots can replace living companion animals or zoo animals (Bossert and Coeckelbergh, 2024). AI can provide alternatives to animal testing, for example, by predicting the toxicity of chemical compounds (Singer and Fai Tse, 2023). On the other hand, experiments with brain-computer interfaces can increase animal use (Coghlan and Parker, 2023). AI is used in self-driving cars, which may or may not be programmed to avoid animals on the road. Monitoring animals via AI-enabled trackers and drones can aid wildlife conservation but can also be abused by poachers (ibid.). AI-powered cameras for the scientific study and protection of wild animals can lead to animals changing their habits (ibid.). Finally, AI promises to make interspecies understanding and communication possible, e.g., with Alaskan humpback whales (McCowan et al., 2023). However, AI also raises ethical challenges. For example, speciesist bias in algorithms can either reinforce the popular image of animals as commodities and edible products, or it can paint an overly rosy picture of the way 'production animals' are housed (Hagendorff et al, 2023). Datafication in animal farming may lead to the further objectification of animals (Bos et al. 2018). It may lead us to conceive of animals as a 'batch of data'. Precision livestock farming (PLF) may also lead to alienation between farmers and animals and erode farmers' experiential knowledge. Farming systems that are run by AI harbour many health and welfare risks in case of malfunction. The use of AI in the case of urban or wild animals may have unintended consequences for animal behaviour and welfare. Trying to communicate with whales or other animals with AI can have detrimental effects on these animals' social structures and culture (Ryan and Bossert, 2024). During this symposium, we will discuss the ethical aspects of a wide range of AI applications in the context of animals. We invite talks that focus on specific applications of AI to animals and their ethical consequences and talks that deal with more theoretical issues around using AI for animals. Besides ethicists and philosophers, we invite scientists and engineers in AI design to join the symposium. The symposium relates to several topics central to the conference, but with animals as a central focus, as opposed to humans. For example: - AI in precision livestock farming - AI in animal testing - AI in veterinary medicine and companion animals - AI to interpret or communicate with animals - AI to understand animal cognition, emotions, or behaviours - AI for animal protection and conservation - AI, climate change, and biodiversity Call for Abstracts: We warmly invite presentations for this 2-day-symposium. If you want to present your research, please take note of the following information: - E-mail your abstract (no more than 300 words), with name and contact information of all co-authors, to mark.ryan(a)wur.nl by February 14th, 2025. - Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by February 28th. - The Symposium agenda will be sent to accepted presenters by March 28th. - The event takes place over two days during the conference (July 1st - July 3rd) - Following the event, we will invite presenters to develop their presentation into a full-length paper for a special issue. * Note: The presenters must register for the whole conference and all conference costs and fees are at their own discretion. ****************************************** (6) CALL FOR PAPERS (Passau, Deadline: 15.04.2025) XII.

If you would like to contribute an event as well, please see http://wld.cipsh.international/organise_event.html for further information. == Topic: After three years on the topic, we have realized that this context is too narrow to understand formalization and thus we have we added a yearly theme (although not all talks are necessarily aligned with it). This year we focus on ethical perspectives. Are there ethical aspects of the practices of formal sciences (including math), which role play formal arguments in politcal contexts, what about aspects of ethical AI ... This series of events began with the theme of foundations in the context of automated theorem proving: What are the chances and problems of the act of formalization in the context of mathematics? It is often said, that all of mathematics can be reduced to first-order logic and set theory. The derivation indicator view says that all proofs stand in some relation to a derivation, i.e. a mechanically checkable syntactical objects following fixed rules, that would not have any gaps. For a long time this was a mere hope. There may have been proofs of concepts from early logicists but derivation never played a big role in mathematical practice. The modern computer might change this. Interactive and automated theorem provers promise to make the construction of a justification without any gaps feasible for complex mathematics. Is this promise justified? Will the future of mathematical practice shift to more formal mathematics? Should it? We hope to illuminate such questions and focus especially on what these developments mean for the future of the curriculum of university students. == Contact: Web: https://sites.google.com/view/wldzurich2025 Mail: jperez(at)fsof.uned.es / or deniz.sarikaya(at)vub.be == Organizers: José Antonio Pérez Escobar (UNED) & Deniz Sarikaya (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, University of Lübeck) -- Links: ------ [1] http://www.human-abilities.de/ [2] https://www.pair.fau.eu/ [3] https://www.fau.eu/ [4] http://sophia.de/index.htm [5] https://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/tv-l/allg/ [6] https://caimed.de/en/ [7] https://www.uni-hannover.de/en/universitaet/stellenangebote-arbeit-an-der-u… [8] https://www.chancenvielfalt.uni-hannover.de/en/ [9] https://www.uni-hannover.de/en/dsgvo/datenschutzhinweis-bewerbungen [10] http://www.tagung-praktische-philosophie.org/

IVC Talk: Zofia Hałęza (University of Łódź) on "How Women Contributed to the Emergence of Polish Analytic Philosophy. Outstanding Female Philosophers from the Lvov-Warsaw School", December 12, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Zofia Hałęza (University of Łódź), who will give a talk on December 12, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Zofia Hałęza (University of Łódź) How Women Contributed to the Emergence of Polish Analytic Philosophy. Outstanding Female Philosophers from the Lvov-Warsaw School Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 12/12/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: From today's perspective, one of the most significant 20th-century discoveries in Polish philosophy's history was the Lvov-Warsaw School's rediscovery. The turbulent history of Poland and the political events after the Second World War led this group's members, who were still living, to the conviction that science would forget them. However, thanks to the woman philosopher Izydora Dąmbska and her influence on her pupils, the memory of the Lvov-Warsaw School has survived. I would even say - that the Lvov-Warsaw School has been rediscovered. Although the Lvov-Warsaw School was founded at the end of the 19th century by Kazimierz Twardowski, to a large extent his female students have contributed to the survival of the memory of his legacy, not only in the immaterial sphere, but also in the form of artefacts, archives and documents. In addition to their merits in the struggle for the survival of memory, women at the Lvov-Warsaw School practised philosophy equally with men. At the turn of the 20th century, this was a phenomenon unprecedented in any school of philosophy. A critical analysis of the history of philosophy is a vital phenomenon. After all, people write histories, and several different factors influence them. Thus, it is the history of Polish philosophy which I have been studying for several years. In the case of the Lvov-Warsaw School, we are dealing with a phenomenon that has yet to be sufficiently described-namely, the number of active women in this formation. In this seminar, I am eager to present the potential impact of my research, conducted as part of my PhD at the University of Lodz in the Doctoral School of Humanities. I will also share the inspiration that led me to this topic. How has the issue of women in the Lvov-Warsaw School been addressed in the past, and what promising avenues are there for further exploration? My research is primarily a critical analysis of the history of philosophy and a comparative analysis of the state of Polish philosophy at that time. In telling the story of women associated with the Lvov-Warsaw School, I will also present my research methodology and the unique historical and social conditions that enabled women in Poland to climb the scientific Olympus. I will emphasize the need for philosophical reflection in women's history, as it is not just a reenactment and reminder of forgotten figures and their achievements, but a crucial aspect that adds depth and significance to our understanding of the past. In the current situation, in addition to multiplying research on women's history, we should also ask ourselves - how do we do it? To what end do we conduct such research, and what does it result in?

The duration of the position is one year, and an extension is scheduled for another two years based on a positive evaluation after the first year. This interdisciplinary PhD project is jointly supervised by Marcel Weil (technology assessment) and Rafaela Hillerbrand (philosophy of engineering and technology) and is part of the KLIREC graduate school (https://www.hs-pforzheim.de/forschung/institute/inec/studium_promotion/klir…). Batteries, as a versatile storage option for electricity, are seen as an enabling technology of the energy transition towards renewables, both for the mobility sector and for ensuring the electric grid's stability. At present, lithium-ion batteries are widely used, especially in the mobility and stationary application sectors. Lithium-ion batteries contain critical raw materials like e.g., cobalt, nickel, copper, and graphite, besides lithium. However, the extraction of these metals may have adverse social and environmental impacts. While the latter are addressed to some extent in sustainability assessments, there is not much work yet on the ethical aspects of extraction and usage, particularly regarding circular economy frameworks. This PhD project is meant to fill this research gap and connect quantitative environmental sustainability research with qualitative ethical research. A particular focus shall be placed on international justice aspects within energy ethics. We offer a 1-year contract with the possibility of an extension of another 2 years within KLIREC and affiliation with ITAS (Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis), KIT. You will participate in the graduate school training program and join a research group at ITAS. ITAS offers a lively inter- and transdisciplinary research environment for technology assessment with a strong focus, amongst others, on sustainability analysis of emerging energy technologies, life cycle analysis, and philosophy of engineering and technology. What we are looking for: You should have a strong background and hold a master's degree in applied ethics, preferably ethics of engineering and technology, or in technology assessment, preferably life cycle analysis (LCA)/material flow analysis (MFA) and have a very strong interest in the respective other field. You are fluent in English and highly motivated to work in an interdisciplinary environment and be able to do independent research. Experience in interdisciplinary collaborations is helpful. Please send your application _by 15.1.2025_ with the usual documents (CV, including three contact persons for a letter of reference, and a writing sample) in a single document to rafaela.hillerbrand(a)gmail.com in an email with the header "KLIREC 2024".

Einladung Workshop: Wissenschaftliche Philosophie | ÖAW | 12.-13. Dezember

by Zarah Weiss

Workshop: Wissenschaftliche Philosophie. Transformationen und Kontinuitäten im langen 19. Jahrhundert Die Kommission für Geschichte und Philosophie der Wissenschaften der ÖAW lädt ein, bei einem Workshop die Transformationen und Kontinuitäten der Wissenschaftlichen Philosophie als Fachdisziplin im langen 19. Jahrhundert zu diskutieren. Termin: 12. bis 13. Dezember 2024 Ort: Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Collegium Erdgeschoß, Seminarraum 1 Bäckerstraße 13 1010 Wien Kontakt: kgpw(at)oeaw.ac.at [1] T: +43 1 51581-3650 Kommission für Geschichte und Philosophie der Wissenschaften der ÖAW [2] Wissenschaftliche Philosophie ist der Versuch, Philosophie ausgehend von den Kriterien der Einzelwissenschaften als eigenständige Wissenschaft zu etablieren. Die Frage nach ihrer Entwicklungsgeschichte wirft folglich das Problem des komplexen und historisch kontingenten Verhältnisses von Philosophie und Wissenschaft auf. Die Kommission für Geschichte und Philosophie der Wissenschaften der ÖAW lädt zum Workshop "Wissenschaftliche Philosophie" ein, um die Transformationsgeschichte vom 18. ins 19. Jahrhundert genauer zu beleuchten. Dabei sollen sowohl die logische Analyse und ihre empirische Basis thematisiert werden: Erstere liegt in einer Problematisierung der Natur der Mathematik, der Frage nach dem Gegenstand der Logik bzw. nach dem Status von regulativen Prinzipien und ihrer Apriorizität; zweitere im Empfindungsbegriff, dem Konzept raumzeitlicher Gegenstände und dem Elementbegriff. Anmeldung erbeten bis 9. Dezember 2024 an kgpw(at)oeaw.ac.at [1] Mehr Infos und Programm unter: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/detail/veranstaltung/wissenschaftliche-philosophie Links: ------ [1] https://www.oeaw.ac.at//# [2] http://www.oeaw.ac.at/kgpw/

This Friday: Symposium "Science and Politics" (and a reminder for Thursday)

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

Dear all, this Friday we have our symposium "Science and Politics" as part of the Dissertant*innenseminar. We start again at 2pm at the Verein (Campus, Hof 1, Eingang 1.2). Unfortunately, there will be only two talks, because Silke Körber had to withdraw for health reasons (best wishes to Silke: get well soon!). This will be the schedule now: 2-3pm: Bianca Crewe (UBC Vancouver): The Symbolic View of Science and its Application in Politics 3-4pm: Christian Damböck (IVC): Fascism as Illogical Reasoning. Rudolf Carnap's Forgotten Approach I add abstracts to this email and attach the paper for the second talk. To those of you interested in Neue Sachlichkeit, here also a reminder to the book presentation for Hans-Joachim Dahms (ed.), /Franz Roh 1890-1965. Eine Kollektivbiografie/, which takes place tomorrow, Thursday, 5pm, at the IWK (in German): https://www.iwk.ac.at/events/franz-roh-1890-1965-kunstkritiker-vorkaempfer-… best wishes and see you soon Christian *Symposium "Science and Politics", Vienna Circle Society (Campus, Hof 1, Eingang 1.2), Friday, December 6, 2pm:* 2pm: Bianca Crewe (UBC Vancouver): The Symbolic View of Science and its Application in Politics It is now common knowledge that a sea-change occurred in the philosophy of science towards the end of the nineteenth century. Many philosophers of this era characterize the preceding paradigm as mechanisticor materialist, in reference to the philosophical outlook, derived by science and presupposed by science, that suggests a specific view of the methods, aims, and standards of intelligibility in science and epistemology. Here, I will describe how this paradigm operates in the work of three representatives of philosophy in the twentieth century: Ernst Cassirer, Alfred North Whitehead, and Philipp Frank. These figures position themselves as overcoming mechanistic philosophy through an understanding of science as symbolic. I focus on how their broadly functionalist, semiotic views develop out of reflections on the methods of the physical sciences in the second half of the nineteenth century (particularly electromagnetic theory), and how this is taken up in their later work in considerations of the role of symbols in politics and culture more generally. All three, I argue, have a critical project in common, aimed at freedom from historically conditioned symbols. The primary tool they use in this project is narratives of the history of philosophy of science. In the case of Whitehead, my focus is primarily on two lecture series’, published respectively as Science and the Modern World in 1925, and Symbolism: its Meaning and Effect in 1927. My focus in Cassirer will be his application of symbolic forms to nationalism, and in the case of Frank, I will offer a reading of his symbolic view of science in service of a humanistic project “synthesizing” the sciences with other parts of human culture, without just latching onto evocative general terminology in the sciences (like matter, energy, etc.) to do so. This project moves to recognize the centrality of the concept of the symbol in twentieth century philosophy; its genesis, and its common place in the work of seemingly diverse philosophers, towards a different thematic emphasis in the history of analytic philosophy and the history of philosophy of science. 3pm: Christian Damböck (IVC): Fascism as Illogical Reasoning. Rudolf Carnap's Forgotten Approach In his now completely forgotten contribution to the Harvard Tercentenary Celebration in 1936, Rudolf Carnap outlines a theory of illogical reasoning that can be interpreted as a theory of fascist politics. While theories of fascism often see the loss of humanistic values as the primary problem, Carnap sees the values of humanism as natural components of the scientific world conception, so that anti-humanism and fascism can only arise as a consequence of the loss of the latter. According to Carnap, illogical thinking occurs in three forms: (a) political attitudes are disguised as facts or destiny, (b) inconsistent or logically misconstrued value systems are accepted, (c) insufficiently confirmed or empirically false premises are taken as a basis. Fascism arises from propaganda that spreads illogical thinking in society. I contextualize Carnap's 1936 approach to explain why it was not pursued further and why value-based theories of fascism continue to prevail today. On this basis, I also outline some consequences of a Carnapian understanding of fascism for contemporary politics.

Buchpräsentation: Franz Roh 1890-1965 | IWK, 5. Dezember 17 Uhr

by Vienna Circle Society

Wir laden herzlich zur Buchpräsentation Franz Roh 1890-1965. Kunstkritiker, Vorkämpfer der Kultur-Moderne: Eine Kollektivbiographie Datum/Zeit Do 05/12/2024 17:00–19:00 Ort Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst Berggasse 17/1 1090 Wien <https://doi.org/10.48666/1031108> Hans-Joachim Dahms (ed.), Franz Roh 1890-1965. Kunstkritiker, Vorkämpfer der Kulturmoderne. Eine Kollektivbiografie, Vienna: Virtual Archive of Logical Empiricism, 2024 Mit Beiträgen von Hans-Joachim Dahms und Christian Damböck. Das Buch „Franz Roh 1890-1965“ setzt sich zum Ziel, den Vordenker und Vorkämpfer der Kulturmoderne auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage nach intensivem Quellenstudium und Archivrecherchen vorzustellen. Keine Ausstellung, die sich mit der mitteleuropäischen Moderne der 1920 Jahre befasst, kommt heutzutage an Franz Roh als ihrem Begleiter und Vordenker vorbei. Bisher existiert aber keine zusammenhängende wissenschaftliche Erforschung seines Lebens und Werkes. Diese Lücke will dieser Band schließen. Die Beiträge sind von ausgewiesenen SpezialistInnen der zahlreichen Facetten seines Werks verfasst und ergeben , zusammen genommen, eine Kollektivbiographie Rohs, die von seinen Jugendjahren und seinem Fachwechsel von der Germanistik und Philosophie zur Kunstgeschichte noch vor dem ersten Weltkrieg bis hin zu den letzten Treffen mit lebenslangen Freunden in der Mitte der 1965er Jahre reicht. Programm Joachim Dahms: “Franz Roh und die Neue Sachlichkeit” Christian Damböck: “Roh und der Wiener Kreis” Diskussion Ausklang Mehr Infos https://www.iwk.ac.at/events/franz-roh-1890-1965-kunstkritiker-vorkaempfer-…
