3 Postdoctoral Fellowships, reseach project 'Liberty, Equality, and
Utility: Assessing the trade-offs between individual liberty,
well-being, and material equality', Université de Fribourg, Switzerland
Applications are invited for three postdoctoral fellowships at the
Université de Fribourg (Switzerland) as part of the research project
"Liberty, Equality, and Utility: Assessing the trade-offs between
individual liberty, well-being, and material equality" funded by the
John Templeton Foundation and directed by Prof. Ralf Bader.
Project description: The research project will shed new light on the
conflicts between liberty and material equality, as well as between
individual well-being and material equality. It will do so by examining
the price of equality, assessing whether and in what ways it can be
traded off against liberty and well-being. By drawing on formal methods
and results from economics, especially from social choice theory and
decision theory, the project aims to identify the precise ways in which
individual freedom is incompatible with a commitment to material
equality and aims to develop dynamic models and calibration arguments
that examine the conflicts between material equality and well-being.
Salary:
Roughly CHF 70,000 per annum.
Duration of employment:
1st September 2025 -- 31st May 2028.
Applications received by 15th January 2025 will be given the fullest
consideration. Applications consisting of:
1. curriculum vitae,
2. an outline of the research to be carried out during the fellowship of
about 1-2 pages,

(5) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Tübingen, Deadline: 30.01.2025)
Professur (W3) "Ethik der wissenschaftlichen und technologischen
Innovation" am Internationalen Zentrum für Ethik in den Wissenschaften
(IZEW), Universität Tübingen (w/m/d)
Das Ethik-Zentrum (IZEW) der Universität Tübingen sucht eine/n
herausragende/n, hochmotivierte/n Wissenschaftler/in, die/der sich mit
der Ethik wissenschaftlich-technischer Innovation beschäftigt und eine
Brücke zwischen den verschiedenen relevanten Disziplinen schlägt. Die

_Das Ethik-Zentrum (IZEW):_
Ethische Fragen der technologischen Innovation in Forschung und
Entwicklung sind eines der Hauptthemen, die am IZEW untersucht werden,
immer in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den unterschiedlichen Wissenschaften.
Die Forschung am Ethik-Zentrum ist in der Regel inter- und
transdisziplinär (einschließlich Third-Mission-Aspekten) und nicht auf
anwendungsbezogene Fragestellungen in einem einzelnen Bereich
beschränkt. Daher verstehen wir Exzellenz in der ethischen Forschung als
ein kollaboratives Unterfangen, das Wissenschaftlerinnen und
Wissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen dazu anregt, über Konzepte und
Methoden verantwortungsvoller Forschung und Innovation nachzudenken. Das
Programm "Ethik in den Wissenschaften" bietet daher nicht nur eine
theoretische Grundlage für Interdisziplinarität, sondern auch für
praktische und kooperative Forschung und Lehre sowie für den Aufbau von
Kompetenzen.
_Die Professur: _
Der/die erfolgreiche Kandidat/in sollte über Expertise in
anwendungsorientierter Ethik mit Schwerpunkt auf wissenschaftlichen und
technologischen Innovationen verfügen. Dazu gehört die Analyse der
Frage, wie Kultur, im weitesten Sinne verstanden als gemeinsame
Praktiken und gemeinsames Wissen, durch Innovation beeinflusst wird,
während Wissenschaft und Technologie gleichzeitig durch ihre eigenen
Kulturen geprägt sind. Ein differenzierter Umgang mit Methoden der Ethik
in der Praxis sowie Einblicke in die Wissenschaftsphilosophie werden
erwartet. Darüber hinaus sind umfassende Erfahrungen in der inter- und
transdisziplinären Forschung, einschließlich der Zusammenarbeit mit den
Natur- und Lebenswissenschaften sowie mit der Zivilgesellschaft,
erforderlich.
Von der/dem bevorzugten Kandidatin/Kandidaten wird erwartet, dass sie/er
ethische Fragen im Zusammenhang mit innovativen Technologien erforscht,
z. B. in den Bereichen Bionik, Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion, künstliche
Intelligenz, Nachhaltigkeit, in Bezug auf Fragen der menschlichen
Autonomie, der sozialen Verantwortlichkeit sowie der persönlichen,
institutionellen und verteilten Verantwortung. Erwartet werden breite
Erfahrung bei der Einwerbung von Drittmitteln für Forschungsprojekte
sowie die Bereitschaft zur Mitarbeit in den Gremien und in dem
lebendigen Arbeitsumfeld des IZEW. Interdisziplinäre Lehre im Bereich
der Ethik in den Wissenschaften am Ethikzentrum sowie in Kooperation mit
verschiedenen Fachbereichen und Exzellenzclustern im Umfang von 9
Semesterwochenstunden wird vorausgesetzt.
Die Universität bewirbt sich derzeit um Exzellenzcluster, die im Rahmen
der Exzellenzstrategie des Bundes und der Länder ein breites
Themenspektrum abdecken. Von dem/der erfolgreichen Bewerber/in wird
erwartet, dass er/sie offen ist für die Vernetzung mit bestehenden
Clustern und neu beantragten Clusterinitiativen. Er/sie ist
Ansprechpartner/in für Fragen zu ethischen und kulturellen Aspekten
innovativer Technologien und deren Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft.
_Formale Voraussetzungen: _
Zu den geforderten formalen Qualifikationen
(Einstellungsvoraussetzungen) gehören ein Doktortitel oder ein
gleichwertiger Abschluss und die Habilitation oder eine gleichwertige
Qualifikation sowie nachgewiesene didaktische Eignung.
Die Universität Tübingen setzt sich für Chancengleichheit, Diversität
und Inklusion ein. Zur Erhöhung des Anteils von Frauen in Forschung und
Lehre bitten wir qualifizierte Wissenschaftlerinnen nachdrücklich um
ihre Bewerbung. Qualifizierte internationale Wissenschaftlerinnen und
Wissenschaftler sind ausdrücklich aufgefordert, sich zu bewerben.
Schwerbehinderte Menschen werden bei gleicher Eignung bevorzugt
berücksichtigt.

UNESCO has proclaimed January 14th as World Logic Day, a global day
dedicated to supporting the development of logic through teaching,
research, and the public dissemination of the discipline. To this end,
we would like to invite all of you to organize events -- possibly small
ones -- around January 14, 2025, to celebrate this special day.
The coordination of World Logic Day 2025 is -- for the 5th time -- in
the hands of the Conseil International de Philosophie et des Sciences
Humaines (CIPSH) and its member organization, the Division for Logic,
Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology of the
International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology
(DLMPST/IUHPST):
https://en.unesco.org/commemorations/worldlogicdayhttp://wld.cipsh.international/
We have learned over the last years that online meetings are easier to
finance, better for the environment, and considerably more inclusive. So
consider both in person and online events.
Events will be listed on the CIPSH website.
To be added to that list, follow the instructions at
http://wld.cipsh.international/organise_event.html
or write a short email to wld (dot) assistantcoordinator (at) cipsh

Psychiatric Diagnosis - Empirical and Philosophical Perspectives
Venue: Online
There is no conference fee.
Abstract Submission Deadline: 17. 01. 2025
Notification Date: 31. 01. 2025
Workshop Date: 21. 2. 2025
Event website: https://vxw3sd.webwave.dev/
Psychiatric and psychological diagnosis is an increasingly frequent
component of social life and a subject of analysis in social sciences
and philosophy. The role of diagnosis in the scientific as well as
therapeutic discourse requires a consideration of its practices as well
as its theoretical foundations, combining empirical, analytical and
normative approaches. This workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary
scientific discussion in which the various facets of diagnosis form the
leading motif. We invite social scientists, especially anthropologists
and sociologists focusing on field research and critical discourse
analysis, and philosophers, examining the foundations of psychiatric
diagnosis with ethical and epistemological normative frameworks. A
particularly relevant philosophical framework presents itself in the
theory of hermeneutical injustice. This approach analyzes harm stemming
from deficient interpretive resources, a category arguably applicable to
psychiatric diagnosis. This closely relates to the fact that diagnosis
can also be a process in which new empirical and identity qualities are
conceptualized. The process is embedded in institutional, economic, and
social conditions, the influence of which has a direct impact on an
individual's experiences. Diagnosis is also a practice that actively
shapes expert and non-expert discourses, and also creates a field for
their mutual interaction. It provides an opportunity for new
interpretations of oneself in expert discourse through the non-expert
practice of self-diagnosis. In an era whendiagnosis and its language are
penetrating social interpretative resources, new fields of scientific
consideration are opening up for philosophy and the social sciences. We
invite submissions on questions as, but not limited to the following:
- When does a psychiatric diagnosis properly fulfill its interpretative
role and how can it be empirically examined?
- How do economic, political, and institutional factors shape the
diagnostic process?
- What types of diagnoses and diagnostic practices are particularly
concerning from an ethical perspective and for what reasons?
- How does the process of self-diagnosis formulate, work and lead to
identification with particular condition?
- How are diagnostic concepts received by the wider society and what are
the consequences for their interpretive power and the self-awareness of
individuals who identify with the concept?
- How does diagnosis affect the experience of the individual, their
ecology and everyday environment?
- How are psychiatric diagnoses linked to broader hermeneutical gaps and
social marginalisation?
Please send your abstract, no longer than 500 words and prepared for
blind review, to psydia.conference(a)gmail.com. Use the subject line
PSY-DIAG and include your name and affiliation in the email body.

Generative Episodic Memory: Interdisciplinary perspectives from
neuroscience, psychology and philosophy (GEM 2025)
June 2-4, 2025 (in person)
Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Germany
https://for2812.rub.de/gem2025
Deadline: March 15, 2025
_Description_
Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally
experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were based on
the storage model, according to which experiential content is preserved
in memory and later retrieved. However, overwhelming empirical evidence
suggests that the content of episodic memory is - at least to a certain
degree - constructed in the act of remembering. Even though very few
contemporary researchers would oppose this view of episodic memory as a
generative process, it has not become the standard paradigm of empirical
memory research. This is particularly true for studies of the neural
correlates of episodic memory. Further hindering progress are large
conceptual differences regarding episodic memory across different
fields, such as neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. This
interdisciplinary conference therefore aims to bring together
researchers from all relevant fields to advance the state of the art in
the research on generative episodic memory.

Synthese: Topical Collection - Probabilistic Reasoning in the Sciences
Title: Probabilistic Reasoning in the Sciences
Journal: Synthese
Guest editors:
- Michał Sikorski (Marche Polytechnic University)
- Alexander Gebharter (Marche Polytechnic University)
- Barbara Osimani (Marche Polytechnic University)
Deadline: January 31, 2025.
Information page: https://link.springer.com/collections/eaaaejgebj
Submissions are to be made via

When submitting, select "T.C. : Probabilistic Reasoning in the Sciences"
in the drop-down TC list.
Submission guidelines:
https://link.springer.com/journal/11229/submission-guidelines
Description:
This topical collection focuses on probabilistic reasoning in science
broadly construed. It is based on a conference on the same topic held at
the end of August at the Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy
(https://cpsp.univpm.it/news-events/conference/). Scientists have used
probabilistic tools for a variety of tasks, for instance, to model
studied phenomena, while philosophers have applied them to reconstruct
scientific practice or develop new normative proposals. Approaches such
as probabilistic semantics, inductive logic, and various versions of
Bayesian approaches have proven fruitful. Furthermore, as demonstrated
during the conference, probabilistic tools in scientific contexts remain
relevant and actively studied. We are confident that the continued
development and application of probabilistic tools will yield valuable
insights. Consequently, we believe that the proposed topical collection
will make a meaningful contribution to the literature. Additionally, we
believe that including a wide spectrum of papers using similar tools to
address different problems will enhance the collection. It will not only
shed light on the potential structural similarities between these
problems, but also facilitate further development of more general
theories.
Overall, this topical collection brings together new perspectives on
probabilistic reasoning, in particular its current developments. Its
goal is to put together and catalyze the ongoing research on these
research topics by exploring research questions such as:
- How can probability be used to model and understand learning?
- How can probabilistic reasoning address problematic scientific
phenomena, such as biases?
- Can scientifically relevant linguistic structures, such as conditional
causal claims, regularities, or functions, be represented in
probabilistic terms?
- Are there limits to Bayesianism in the philosophy of science, and if
so, what are they?
- What are the consequences of different interpretations of probability
for its usage?
and many others. Investigations from the philosophy of science and all
scientific fields are welcome. We particularly encourage members of
underrepresented groups to submit. Submitted papers will be subject to
the usual review process of Synthese.
For further information, please contact the guest editor(s) by sending
an email to:
michalpsikorski(a)gmail.com or alexander.gebharter(a)gmail.com
The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2025.

Abstract:
Im Jahr 2023 verstarb Pierre Legendre, einer der bedeutendsten Denker
unserer Zeit. Seine Forschungsarbeit zeichnet sich insbesondere durch
einen trans- und interdisziplinären Ansatz aus, der unterschiedliche
Wissensgebiete miteinander in Verbindung bringt. Dazu zählen die
Psychoanalyse, die Rechtsgeschichte und die Theologie bzw.
Religionsgeschichte. Die Berücksichtigung dieser Spannungsfelder, in
denen Legendre zufolge das Wissen über die Reproduktion der sprechenden
Gattung Mensch aufbewahrt wird, führte ihn zu einer erneuerten
Fokussierung der politisch- und sozialphilosophisch bedeutsamen Frage
nach dem Verhältnis von menschlicher Existenz und Institution: Ist das
Institutionelle für die menschliche Existenz etwas Äußerliches oder ist
es ihr ein wesentlich zugehöriges Phänomen, ohne das sie selbst nicht
sein könnte? Welcher Bedeutung kommt in dieser Hinsicht Legendres
Begriff der „dogmatische Anthropologie“ zu? Diese Frage gewinnt in der
heutigen Zeit zunehmend an Bedeutung, in der, wie Roberto Esposito
treffend formuliert, konservative Institutionen und anti-institutionelle
Praktiken jede politische Dialektik der Erneuerung zu verhindern
scheinen.
Obwohl die Relevanz seines Denkens für unsere Gegenwart mittlerweile als
unbestritten gilt, befindet sich die Rezeption von Legends Werk im
deutschsprachigen Raum noch im Anfangsstadium. Um die Erforschung des
Werkes von Legendre weiter voranzutreiben und auch Kolleginnen und
Kollegen auf sein Denken aufmerksam zu machen, orientiert sich das
Symposium an folgenden leitenden Fragen: Was sind die theoretischen und
ideengeschichtlichen Hintergründe seines Denkens? Wie und was ist unter
dem Begriff der „dogmatischen Anthropologie“ zu verstehen und inwiefern
kommt ihm eine herausragende Bedeutung zu, über das Verhältnis von
Indivduum und Institution Auskunft zu geben? Anhand dieser Leitfragen
zielt das Symposium darauf ab, die Relevanz und Aktualität von Legends
Werk aus den Perspektiven von Recht, Religion und Psychoanalyse zu
diskutieren. Damit soll nicht zuletzt sein Denken einer breiteren
Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden.

(2) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Berlin, Deadline: 06.01.2025)
Communications & Publications Manager at IGVI
The Institute of Global Value Inquiry (IGVI) is a non-profit foundation
based in Berlin that promotes interdisciplinary research into the
formation and contestation of values and norms, from a global
perspective.
Your challenge:
You will be responsible, in close coordination with IGVI's board of
directors, for facilitating communication inside the organization and
for communicating the fulfillment of the organization's mission to the
public. In particular, this will include the following three tasks. Your
first and main task will be the management of the Institute's main
publication outlet, the _Journal of Global Value Inquiry_, which will
appear bi-annually from 2026 onwards. Managing the journal will include
acquisition and submission processing, editorial and reviewer
management, and copyediting for online publication. Second, you will
assist with the organization of IGVI discussion and conference formats
(both virtual and in-person), Third, you will be responsible for content
management for IGVI's homepage, for the administration of newsletters,
and for editorial assistance with other, more irregular publication
formats.
Your profile:
You have excellent native English language skills and are a
self-motivated, reliable personality with a communicative character and
a team-orientated and meticulous working style. Your pragmatic and
independent attitude is paired with strong editorial and copyediting
skills and correlated experience, and an interest in and willingness to
gain familiarity with interdisciplinary research into the global
formation and contestation of values and norms. You have completed at
least an undergraduate degree in philosophy or a neighboring subject in
the humanities or social or political sciences. Technical knowledge in
the administration of a homepage will need to be acquired, but is not
necessary when starting the job. Command of the German language is not
essential when starting the job.
Your opportunity:
You will have the opportunity to develop and expand the communications
and publications department of a recently founded, internationally
active research institute with excellent prospects in an important
position. The position with a regular weekly working time of 20 hours
and a flexible working schedule, taking into account the tasks involved,
is initially limited to two years, but will be made permanent if
successful. Office space in the center of Berlin can be provided, if
needed. However, the position can largely be carried out remotely from
any location in Germany. Remuneration will be based on performance and
experience. IGVI strives to achieve equal representation of women in the
organization, which is why they will be given preferential consideration
if equally qualified.
Please send your exclusively digital application (including a CV with
references, proof of editorial and copyediting experience and details of
your salary expectations) by the 6th of January 2025 to the acting
director of IGVI, Dr. Valentin Beck: valentin.beck(a)igvi.org.

(5) CALL FOR PAPERS (Fribourg, Deadline: 15.01.2025)
Aristotle's Methods of Philosophical Inquiry
_Conference Title:_ Aristotle's Methods of Philosophical Inquiry
_Organizers:_ Nevim Borçin and Béatrice Lienemann
_Conference Dates: _23-24 May 2025
_Location: _University of Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland
_Call for Abstracts_
In recent decades, there has been renewed interest in Aristotle's
philosophical methodology, particularly in ethics. Scholars are
increasingly examining Aristotle's logical works--especially the
_Posterior Analytics_--to reassess his methodological tools and
strategies. This trend has led to a reevaluation of foundational
concepts related to Aristotle's so-called method of _endoxa_, his
dialectical approach, and his handling of facts, opinions, and
appearances across both his practical and theoretical texts.
Researchers are revisiting Aristotle's works in ethics, politics,
psychology, metaphysics, physics, and biology to explore his
methodological approaches from new perspectives. This conference aims to
bring together scholars interested in Aristotle's methods of inquiry,
dialectic, logic, rhetoric, and their intersections within his
philosophical methodologies.
_Possible research themes include, but are not limited to:_
_* Endoxa_ and the role _endoxa_ play in Aristotle's arguments
* Aristotle's conception and use of dialectic in his practical and
theoretical texts
* The role of dialectic in his defense of the principle of
non-contradiction
* Definitions within Aristotle's philosophical methodology
* Plato's method of division and Aristotle's adaptation and
reinterpretation of this method
* The role of rhetoric in Aristotle's philosophical arguments
* Aristotle's treatment of the method of hypothesis
* Aristotle's so-called epistemic optimism
We invite contributions exploring these and related themes.
_Confirmed Speakers (In alphabetical order)_
* Lucas _Angioni_ (University of Campinas)
* Joseph _Bjelde_ (Humboldt University)
* Giulia _Bonasio_ (Durham University)
* Paolo _Crivelli_ (University of Notre Dame)

(7) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Erlangen, 24-26.03.2025)
Fifth International Conference of the German Society for Philosophy of
Science (GWP.2025)
The registration for the Fifth International Conference of the German
Society for Philosophy of Science (GWP.2025) in Erlangen is open from
now until January 31st, 2025. Please register at:
https://gwp2025.sciencesconf.org/
The German Society for Philosophy of Science (Gesellschaft für
Wissenschaftsphilosophie - GWP) was founded in September 2011 with the
aim to better integrate the community of philosophers of science and
academics interested in philosophy of science in Germany and thereby to
promote the field at a local and international level. The GWP organizes
an international conference every three years.
Our fifth conference will be hosted by the FAU Kompetenzzentrum für
interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftsreflexion (ZIWIS) at FAU
Erlangen-Nürnberg and co-hosted by its Institut für Philosophie from
24th until 26th of March 2025. The ZIWIS (www.ziwis.fau.de [3]) pursues
the goal of understanding philosophy of science in an
application-oriented way and linking it with other areas of science
studies, which is characterized by the concept of
"Wissenschaftsreflexion" ("reflection on science").
The GWP.2025 will comprise around 130 submitted talks in numerous
sections ranging from General Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of
Medicine, AI, Physics and Biology to Science and Society, Science and
Values and History of Science and many more.

AN:
Dear Phil colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to join a final reading group associated
with the ARC-Discovery Project Keeping Kinship in
Mind<https://keepingkinshipinmind.weebly.com/>, based at the University
of Western Australia (UWA). The group will focus on the penultimate
manuscript of Relational Beings: Kin Matters in the Fragile Sciences, a
forthcoming monograph by project lead Professor Rob Wilson that Oxford
University Press will publish late in 2025. Our discussions will inform
final, post-review changes to the manuscript.
The reading group will run weekly in a hybrid format, commencing on
Thursday, December 12th with a break of three weeks for Christmas. All
readings, room details for in-person meetings at UWA, and Teams links
for virtual attendance will be sent to your email (after registration).
Meetings will be 1:30 hours long, starting at 2 pm Perth time. To
convert to your time zone, you can use this
link<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html>.
Relational Beings: Kin Matters in the Fragile Sciences addresses general
issues about reductionism, ethnocentrism, the relationships between the
cognitive, biological, and social sciences?within the philosophy of
anthropology, especially in the study of kinship. The book integrates
insights from various disciplines often siloed in discussions of kinship
and sociality. The central thread running through the three parts of
the book--on relations, on incest and its avoidance, and on kinship--is
that we best understand ourselves as relational beings by recognising
biological and cognitive dimensions to kinship and our sociality. This
runs counter to much recent work within cultural anthropology on kin and
kinship.
Meeting Schedule:
* December 12th:
* Chapter 1 Relatively Speaking
* Chapter 2 Mindful Relations
* December 19th:
* Chapter 3 Thinking About Relations Through Locke
* Chapter 4 Relations and Anthropological Knowledge
* January 9th:
* Chapter 5 Incest and its Avoidance in the Fragile Sciences
* Chapter 6 Escaping Disciplinary Grooves
* January 16th:
* Chapter 7 Kinship Past, Kinship Present, & Schneider?s Critique
* Chapter 8 Promulgating Progenerativism
* January 23rd:
* Chapter 9 The Ethnographic Argument
* Chapter 10 Why Kinship is Progeneratively Constrained
If you plan to attend, please let us know by sending an email to
lucia.neco(a)uwa.edu.au<mailto:lucia.neco@uwa.edu.au>. Feel free to join
all or selected meetings based on your availability and interest. We
will send the December chapters by the end of November; contact Rob
Wilson (rwilson.robert(a)gmail.com<mailto:rwilson.robert@gmail.com>) if
you want a copy of the whole manuscript in advance.
Best,

Dear All,
*We are organizing a reading circle based on the topic “Philosophy of
Sex and Sexuality”!*
To start a conversation about /sex/, we need to be clear what is the
scope of the phenomenon we are talking about. For that we need to start
with /sexual desire/, which is closely linked to /sexual motivation,
arousal, and activity/.
That is already closely connected to issues within /politics of sex,
sexual orientation, and sexual identity/. When we engage in sexual acts,
we are living out our /sexual orientation/. Beyond our orientation,
understanding our /sexual identity/ is equally important as part of our
personal identity. On top of that, the cultural theory of queer sexual
identity plays a crucial role in shaping how we understand and express
ourselves in various contexts.
An interesting aspect to discuss is /normativity and permissibility of
sexual acts/ under the consideration of sexual orientation and
non-heteronomous identities. When discussing /good or bad sex/, we
usually assume that consent was given to start the encounter. Without
consent, the focus shifts to the permissibility of the act itself, with
the prevailing view being that consent is morally transformative from
impermissible to permissible. Is having the right mental state enough,
or can it be implied through certaincommunications? Additionally, to
which acts are we consenting?
Within the scope of the named phenomenon /objectification/ is a concept,
which can be viewed from different angles. The concept of /mutual
objectification/ refers to the notion when both partners may objectify
each other, which may be seen as problematic because it reduces a
person’s humanity to their body. On the other hand, objectification can
also be viewed from a /social perspective/, as feminist philosophers
argue. For instance, they claim that pornography negatively portrays
women’s sexuality, reinforcing harmful stereotypes. In contrast to that,
Thomas Nagel offers a different view on objectification as a complex,
multi-leveled awareness between two people, where both are mutually
aware of each other's desire.
*If that sounds interesting to you, don’t hesitate to send me an email –
I’d love to hear from you! We plan to start the reading circle next week.*
Best,
Kristina
Dear all,
I am co-organizing (with Sebastian Watzl and Katharine Browne) a
workshop entitled “Salience in Society: The Nature and Ethics of
Collective Attention” on 3–4 December here at the University of Vienna:
https://sites.google.com/view/salienceinsociety/
Of the 25 seats at NIG room 3A, 18 are already filled by the speakers
and the additional participants from Oslo. If you’re interested in
participating, please send me an email by 28th November with a brief
explanation of your interest in the topic. If there are more interested
people than places, we must leave some out, sadly.
This event is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), project no.

CRITICISM, MISREPRESENTATION, AND DECLINE: FEYERABEND AND LOGICAL
EMPIRICISM
Philosophy of Science Colloquium
The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium
with talks by our present fellows.
Date: 21/11/2024
Time: 16h45
Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS

ABSTRACT:
Feyerabend became familiar with the Vienna Circle tradition and Logical
Empiricism in his formative years in post-war Vienna. However, since his
early intellectual trajectory, he made LE one of his favorite critical
targets, articulating his criticism in personal dialogue with some of
its most distinguished representatives. This paper focuses on the second
stage of Feyerabend's sustained assault against LE, examining both
Feyerabend's reception of LE and Hempel's response to Feyerabend's
challenge.
In a series of papers published between 1962 and 1966, Feyerabend
relentlessly questioned the descriptive adequacy and the normative
desirability of the 'orthodox', logical empiricist, accounts of
reduction and explanation advanced by Hempel and Nagel. Feyerabend's
persistent criticism shook North American philosophy of science and
prompted Hempel's reaction, which appeared in print in the second half
of the 1960s. Initially, Hempel retorted that Feyerabend's
methodological analysis was 'completely mistaken' and Feyerabend could
offer 'no support' for his allegations. This raises interesting
historiographical questions about the later reception of LE as it seems
that Feyerabend, driven by his anti-authoritarian stance, substantially
misinterpreted the logical empiricist research programme, his vantage
point notwithstanding. On the other hand, Hempel also recognised that
the descriptive issues on which Feyerabend insisted, despite having been
long acknowledged by LE, could have more far-reaching consequences than
previously envisaged. In fact, by the end of the 1960s, Hempel came to
make quite radical concessions, admitting that the standard logical
empiricist model for explicating the structure of scientific theories
was essentially 'misleading', that the logical empiricist account of
reduction was 'an untenable oversimplification', and that the logical
empiricist approach as to the meaning of scientific terms was actually
'misconceived'. In this respect, there are good reasons to consider the
decline of the logical empiricist research programme in the 1970s at
least partly as the result of Feyerabend's stimulating, however
misrepresenting, insights.

(2) CALL FOR PAPERS (München, Deadline: 15.12.2024)
Workshop: Responsible AI: Promises, Pitfalls, and Practices
Dear colleagues,
We are very pleased to invite you to submit papers to our international
symposium: _Responsible AI: Promises, Pitfalls, and Practices _
April 8-10, 2025, Munich
_Organization: Center for Responsible AI Technologies (CReAITech),
Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities_
In recent years, AI technologies have rapidly gained prominence across
sectors like healthcare, finance, and labor market, offering the
potential to transform industries, enhance decision-making, and improve
services. 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.

(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.

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.

(1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Bamberg und Bayreuth, Deadline: 15.11.2024)
Short-Term Position (up to one year, 0.65 FTE, 13 TV-L) in Theoretical
Political Science and Philosophy
*Short-term position* (up to one year, 0.65 FTE, 13 TV-L) in Theoretical
Political Science and Philosophy at the University of Bamberg and the
University of Bayreuth.
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.

(4) CALL FOR PAPERS (Bochum, Deadline: 24.11.2024)
RTG 'Situated Cognition' Spring School (SCSS) 2025: Situated Cognition
in Human Minds, Animal Minds and AI Systems
_Abstract_
This spring school of situated cognition brings together a diverse range
of researchers working on mind and cognition, and how they relate to the
body and environment. We strive to provide an extensive overview of
state-of-the-art theorizing, experimenting, observing, and surveying of
all kinds of situated phenomena in humans, non-human animals, and AI
systems. The relevance and impact of these advancements is then also
reflected upon for the scientific domain and beyond. We are therefore
delighted to have a lineup of excellent keynotes coming from diverse
backgrounds and with different interests ranging from, but are not
limited to, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, animal research,
sociology, and artificial systems. Doctoral students and early postdocs
from Europe or abroad are cordially invited to apply for a talk or
poster presentation. We aim to provide an open and collaborative
environment to foster intensive discussion, networking, and exchange
with leading experts as well as fellow students of this continuously
growing area of research.
_Call for Talks and Posters_
We invite applications from PhD students and early post-doctoral
researchers (PhD in 2020 or later) for presentation slots in our program
or poster presentations. All PhD participants will have the opportunity
for a discussion of their individual PhD projects with a group of
selected PIs.
Accepted presenters who do not have their own institutional funding will
receive support of up to 250 Euros for those based in Europe and 350
Euro for non-EU applicants (within a post-event reimbursement procedure
based on submitted expenses; we can only recover costs for travelling
and accommodation).
_Submission Extended Deadline_
Applicants are asked to submit an abstract of their work (maximum 500

Applications which are not accepted as talks will also be evaluated for
possible poster presentations. Also note that the author information
will be requested via the application platform to contact you after the
anonymous review process. Therefore, the abstract and any file uploaded
should be anonymized with all identifying information removed to allow
for a blind review. You can also submit work that is the result of
collaborations. However, we will only accept one submission for one
person. The funding can also only be given to one speaker per talk.

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)

(8) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Bielefeld, 16-17.01.2025)
Workshop: Rights and Reasons
16-17 January 2025, Bielefeld University

Dmitry Ananiev (Bielefeld)
Singa Behrens (Bielefeld)
Joseph Bowen (Leeds)
Rowan Cruft (Stirling)

Moral rights occupy a central place in contemporary moral theorizing. 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.
Registration: rightsandreasons(at)uni-bielefeld(dot)de

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).

(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.

(5) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Zürich, Deadline: 20.01.2025)
PhD Position in Philosophy at the University of Zurich
The Institute of Philosophy at the University of Zurich offers a 4-year
funded PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael Messerli.
_Brief Description of the Project_
Human motivations sometimes change. 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. They should include the
following documents (in one single pdf file):
- CV
- A short description of which research question the candidate would be
interested to work with (approx. 2 pages)
- A writing sample (e.g. a Chapter of MA-thesis, approx. 15-20 pages)
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed in February 2025 (in Zurich
or via Zoom).
_Start of Employment_
Employment start April 1, 2025, not later than May 1, 2025.

(7) CALL FOR PAPERS (Special Issue, Deadline: 01.04.2025)
Synthese: New Waves in Hinge Epistemology (Topical Collection)
_Guest Editor(s):_ Jakob Ohlhorst - VU Amsterdam, Andrew Sherrod -
University of Glasgow, Martin Miragoli - University of Glasgow, Nikolaj
Pedersen - Yonsei University
_Topical Collection Description: _In recent years, a new idea has taken
root in contemporary epistemological theorising that proposes a shift of
attention from singular beliefs of individual agents to maintenance
practices of entire belief systems. 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.

(10) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Groningen & Online, 09-10.01.2025,
Registration Deadline: 29.12.2024)
Climate Change and the Long-Term Future - a PPE Winter School (online)
Date: January 9 - January 10, 2025
Location: online; hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy and Centre for PPE
at the University of Groningen
More information: link [4]
After several successful installments, the Faculty of Philosophy of the
University of Groningen [5] will host its yearly Winter School, aimed
primarily at advanced undergraduate students and early-stage graduate
students. 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_

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.

(1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Bremen, Deadline: 29.11.2024)
13 PhD Positions in Contradiction Studies at the University of Bremen
The Research Training Group "Contradiction Studies--Constellations,
Heuristics and Concepts of the Contradictory" at the University of
Bremen is welcoming applications for 13 3-year positions as Doctoral
Candidates.
This interdisciplinary group examines the ways in which individuals,
groups, institutions, and states navigate the concept of contradiction,
particularly in relation to the prevalent demand for consistency
(freedom from contradiction). It aims to develop novel forms and
procedures for addressing the inherent contradictions of living
together. (Philosophers should note that it not only studies logical
contradictions, but also a broad range of other types of
contradictions.)
Members of the group are expected to complete their dissertation over
the course of the term. They are expected to participate in the
modularized doctoral program and in the group's research colloquium. The
working language of the program is generally English. The positions
carry no teaching obligation and are 75% positions paid on a TV-L 13
basis (which translates to a net pay of at least 26.500EUR/year).
Deadline for application is Nov 29, the positions are expected to begin
on June 1, 2025.

The Role of Imagination in Learning, Understanding, and Knowledge
Dear all,
We cordially invite you to the hybrid Workshop "The Role of Imagination
in Learning, Understanding, and Knowledge", which will be held at the
Ruhr-Universität Bochum (GA 04/187) on the 8th of November 2024, from
9:30 to 17:15 CET.
Philosophers across various traditions and areas of research have long
debated the epistemic roles of imagination. While imagination is often
associated with creative thinking and the discovery of possible or
fantastical worlds, the question remains: does imagination enhance our
understanding of the actual world and help us acquire knowledge?
This workshop brings together experts across various
fields--phenomenology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of
mind--to examine the diverse epistemic roles of imagination. By
exploring how imagination can be a source of learning, deepen
understanding, and contribute to knowledge formation, we aim to foster
interdisciplinary dialogue and uncover new insights into this essential
cognitive process.
Confirmed speakers:
* Kristina Liefke (Ruhr University Bochum)
* Joshua Myers (University of Barcelona)
* Sofia Pedrini (Ruhr University Bochum)
* Zuzanna Rucińska (University of Antwerp)

(3) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Online, 15.11.2024)
Call for Interferences - Act up/Building up: EcoTechGender Action Group
Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, Paderborn
University
The era of strictly demarcated sciences is over, at least since the
COVID-19 pandemic. Over the years, changing social values, modern
technologies, but also scientific misconduct and demands for
emancipation based on diversity have led to the fact that science has
become a multidisciplinary but also increasingly interwoven institution
since at least the second half of the 20th century. The present bias is
particularly evident in the institutionalization of knowledge and
content from the humanities and the natural sciences and technology,
which are in part still strictly separated and not automatically related
to each other. This lack of contextualization and intertwining of
nature, culture, technology, society, and gender theory can be
illustrated by a number of problematic examples: Crash test dummies that
only represent men and make cars all the more unsafe for women; toxic
cultures of masculinity in engineering courses that make it almost
impossible for women to build careers and reveal a serious lack of
female role models; racist or sexist algorithms that overwhelm the
increasingly important AI and fuel resentment; or supposedly glorious
inventions by men for women, such as the Pinky Gloves released in 2021,
that reveal a sometimes disastrous picture of gender stereotyping. All
these examples clearly show that there is an urgent need to link the
cultural sciences and humanities, which have been strictly separated,
with the natural, technical, information and engineering sciences.
However, these experiences also show how strong the influences of
social, political, economic and societal factors are, which also have an
unconscious effect on the natural and technical sciences and their
results. This modern change therefore confirms all the more the
establishment of an interlocking perspective and instructions for action
for the scientific enterprise. An appropriate culture/expansion of
discourse makes it possible to show how research in the natural,
technical, information, and engineering sciences can be seen and
evaluated in a multiple and constantly changing world in the context of
society, politics, the environment, technology, and gender. Science is
no longer a homogeneous and awe-inspiring entity that can sustain
itself. It is increasingly criticized and confronted with demands to
open up and to represent all aspects of social life in an interconnected
way. There is therefore a need for other interfaces and interconnections
that drive this world of research, transform it, make it usable, and
build it in a future-oriented way. This particular entanglement has
always been explored in the EcoTechGender research project [1] (est.
2007 by Prof. Dr. Ruth E. Hagengruber [2]).
In the context of a workshop, we would like to emphasize this importance
once again, work it out together, and offer space for a
philosophical-interdisciplinary workshop and discourse in which young
scientists can present their visions and contributions to the
entanglement field of EcoTechGender. In addition to invited speakers,
lecture slots will be advertised in order to provide a platform for
exchange for interested young scientists. The aim of the workshop is to
present different perspectives on EcoTechGender from young scholars from
different academic disciplines to show the interferences of humanities,
social sciences, science and technology studies, medicine and computer
science.
The workshop will be introduced by our Keynoter _Kateryna Karpenko [3]_,
Director of the Center for Gender Studies at Kharkiv National Medical
University, Ukraine. Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to follow
and listen to several different PhD students from STEM fields,
STS-Studies, medicine, gender studies and philosophy, who will present
their views and ideas on EcoTechGender. For more inspiration have a look
at our preliminary program [4].
The Workshop will take place on November 15, 2024 at the _Center for the
History of Women Philosophers and Scientists_ as _online event._ For
participation please register via our registration platform [5].
_The workshop is organized by __Ruth E. Hagengruber [2]__ & __Felix

The rapid advancement of biotechnologies presents unprecedented
opportunities and challenges across various domains of human life.
Innovations like synthetic cells, living materials, soft robotics, brain
organoids, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and germline editing
promise breakthroughs in science and medicine. They also raise profound
ethical and anthropological questions about the nature of life, human
identity, and the social impacts of altering biological processes.
_The workshop _seeks to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue between
life sciences researchers and scholars engaged in ethical,
philosophical, and social reflection on these advancements. It _is a
joint venture between the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering
and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM), the Max Planck Institute for Medical
Research (MPImR), and the Marsilius-Kolleg. _
_The event will open with a public panel discussion at the Neue Aula of
Heidelberg University on Thursday (November 28th) on the topic of brain
organoids,_ followed by two days of talks and in-depth discussions.
The majority of speakers will be drawn from Heidelberg University and
its renowned local research institutions, including the German Cancer

(7) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Heidelberg, 23-24.01.2025)
Workshop: Recent Work on Authoritative and Formal Normativity
Over the past decades, a range of different fields in philosophy has
made use of the distinction between a _formal _and an _authoritative
_variety of normativity. However, within the metanormative literature,
scholars have come forward raising doubts about the conceivability of
that distinction, and several attemps have been made to rebuttal these
reasons supporting scepticism. In the course of this workshop, we aim to
bring different voices and perspectives on the authoritative-formal
divide and its application together.
_Speakers:_
* Derek Baker (_Frankfurt_)
* James Brown (_Sheffield_)
* Eline Gerritsen (_Hamburg_)
* Susanne Mantel (_Heidelberg_)
* Elizabeth Ventham (_Salzburg_)
* Michael Vollmer (_Heidelberg_)
* Jonathan Way (_Southampton_)
* Jack Woods (_Leeds_)
_Location:_ Universitätsplatz 1, 69117 Heidelberg

De Bres will read from her book How to Be Multiple: The Philosophy of Twins and discuss its themes with Paulina Sliwa (University of Vienna). The audience will be encouraged to join the conversation, with plenty of time for questions and comments. The discussion will be followed by a wine reception.

Dear all,
Please find below a Call for Registration for our workshop on the Ethics
of Climate Emergency that will take place here at the University of
Vienna on November 15.
Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency
Co-hosted by Department of Philosophy University of Vienna and Knowledge
in Crisis FWF Cluster of Excellence.
November 15, 2024
Room 3A, Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG)
Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna
A declaration of climate emergency calls for a radical break from
business-as-usual in climate policy. Yet it raises crucial moral,
political and institutional questions: Should the demands of urgency and
the extent of potential harm alter procedures of decision-making or
frameworks of justification? Which courses of action/institutions are
permissible to avoid the harms of global warming? How should we
understand responsibilities for remedying loss and damage as well as
future generations in the context of climate emergency? This one-day
workshop will bring together researchers working on the above and
related issues surrounding climate emergency.
Speakers:
Kathrin von Allmen (Harvard University)
Ali Emre Benli (University of Vienna)
Angela Kallhoff (University of Vienna)
Ross Mittiga (SOAS University of London)
Tracey Skillington (University College Cork)
The workshop is free, but places are limited. Online participation is
possible. Please register via workshop registration [1].
Program is available at The Ethics of Climate Emergency -- University of
Vienna [2]
