Initial discussions with the Editor-in-Chiefs have taken place, and final confirmation will follow the commencement of the mentoring scheme, including comments by Prof. Sorin Bangu (Bergen). = Special Issue Focus The SI will focus on Ludwig Wittgenstein's influential yet underexplored work in logic and the philosophy of mathematics. While we invite submissions on classical themes, we are particularly interested in exploring intersections between Wittgenstein's ideas and fields such as the philosophy of mathematical practice, ethnomathematics, and artificial intelligence. Ludwig Wittgenstein remains one of the most impactful philosophers of the 20th century. His contributions to logic and mathematics, however, are often overshadowed by his other works. This Special Issue aims to highlight Wittgenstein's perspectives on language, logic, and mathematics, emphasizing their relevance to modern philosophical questions concerning the formal sciences. Submissions may address topics from Wittgenstein's early works, such as the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, his later writings like the Philosophical Investigations, or his contributions to the philosophy of mathematics. Our goal is to enrich discussions of Wittgenstein's insights and explore their contemporary applications. = Mentoring and Submission Guidelines ==Target Audience: === Junior Researchers (pre-PhD): Mentorship and coaching will be provided by Jordi, José, and Deniz to assist participants in developing their submissions. === Early-Career Researchers (PhD awarded, max. 3 years post-defense): Direct submissions to the Special Issue without mentorship by José, Jordi or Deniz are allowed, but you need to apply to be part of the cohort (so that we manage space accordingly). You can get feedback from us if you prefer. === Others are invited to submit but Junior and early-Career Researchers get prioritized. == Feedback Process: === All junior participants will get feedback by José, Jordi and Deniz or by an expert they choose. === All early-career participants can get this feedback === All articles will undergo a double-blind peer-review process as per Kriterion's standards. For articles that are not selected, we will strive to help authors find suitable publication outlets. === All accepted articles will receive expert commentary/reply from Prof. Dr. Sorin Bangu, who will publish a final commenting article in the special issue. == Publication Goals: === We aim to publish five articles in the Special Issue. = Open Access and Fees KRITERION has open access fees for accepted articles. We are actively seeking funding solutions and waivers to support participants. If you have a budget to cover open access fees, please let us know. There will be a solution, so very very likely no article will be declined because of fees! This also worked in the last Special Issue some of us edited there. = Application Process To apply for the mentoring scheme, please submit the following by email to us three (jperez(a)fsof.uned.es; Deniz.Sarikaya(a)vub.be; jordi.fairhurst(a)uib.es) with the subject "Application: Special Issue on Wittgensteinian Philosophy and the Formal Sciences": ~500-word description of your proposed paper ~300-word motivation statement Applicants from traditionally marginalized groups are especially encouraged to apply. If you identify as part of such a group, you may indicate this in your motivation statement or through a separate email. = Timeline - Application Deadline for Mentoring Scheme: By April 15, 2025 - We aim to communicate the results by the end of April. - First Draft Submission: End of 2025 - Review Rounds and Revisions: Completed by Q4 2026 = Supporting Community This Special Issue is supported by the Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy, a global community of students, scholars, and young philosophers dedicated to Wittgensteinian studies. For more on the network see here: https://sites.google.com/view/young-network-wp/home . We host an annual in person workshop and a monthly colloquium. We look forward to your participation and contributions to this exciting project.

Place: TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany Keynotes: Miranda Fleischer (San Diego), Nicholas Vrousalis (Rotterdam) Organizers: Peter Königs, Christian Neuhäuser, Lea Prix, Dick Timmer (TU Dortmund University) Most fundamental questions of economic justice remain unresolved. There is little agreement on the place of markets, the nature of property, the justifiability of taxes, the importance of workplace democracy, the injustice of economic inequality, and, generally, the merits of capitalism and socialism. While debates on economic justice often take place within specific political camps, where many assumptions are shared, the Dortmund Disputes take a different approach. The idea of the Dortmund Disputes is to foster debate across political boundaries. It seeks to bring together open-minded scholars with diverse political outlooks--whether liberal egalitarian, libertarian, socialist, conservative, or otherwise--who are committed to our shared goal of advancing our understanding of economic justice. The keynote speakers for the first installment of the Dortmund Disputes are Miranda Fleischer and Nicholas Vrousalis. Miranda Fleischer is Richard and Kaye Woltman Professor in Finance at University of San Diego's School of Law. Her work focuses on ethical and legal issues surrounding taxation, wealth and wealth transfer, and charitable giving. She's the co-author of a recent book on Universal Basic Income. Nicholas Vrousalis is Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam [9]. His work revolves around distributive ethics, democratic theory, and the history of political philosophy, with emphasis on Kant, Hegel, and Marx. He is the author of a recent book on capitalism and exploitation. _Conference Program_ _June 12, 2025 (Thursday)_ _* Daniel Halliday (Melbourne): _Does contemporary political philosophy have a concept of capitalism? _* __Kate Petroff (Chicago): _Was Marx a Republican?

This year's topic will be *The Logic of Reasons*. The event will take place July 21-25 at the University of Hamburg. Description: In this course we will deal with the logic of reasons, that is, general structural constraints on the reason-for relationship, where the emphasis will be on the logic of epistemic reasons, that is, reasons for belief. We will review some of the existing literature on this topic (Horty, Spohn, Nair, ...) and then turn to a new approach to the logic of epistemic reasons in which reasons correspond to vectors that act on a subject's subjective probabilities. For more information, visit https://hamburgersommerkurs.wordpress.com [10] Registration is required and open until April 30th.

Hot desks for VDP students without contracts

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

Dear VDP Members, Our Director Benjamin Schnieder, our Student Representative Lisa Tragbar, and I have been working over the past few months to address one of the most critical issues facing our doctoral school, namely the provision of office space for students without contracts at the University of Vienna. The purpose of this message is to inform you of the results of our work and negotiations with the department's stakeholders. We will start A pilot project this summer semester (see attachment), opening two hot desks. We expect to expand the number of hot desks to seven, depending on the results of the pilot. Since this is a pilot project, we need to ask you to sign up for it. In the enclosed documents you will find an explanation of how to do it. I must also ask you to strictly follow the rules. This is extremely important because the results of the pilot will ultimately depend on how you, as a community of students, are able to work together. I am confident that the results will be optimal. I would also like to thank Chiara Dankl, Flora Löffelmann, and Jackson Sawatzky, who have generously agreed to share their office for this inititative. I wish you a nice weekend, Raphael
