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

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

by Irene Salzmann

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

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

Organized by: Christian Herzog (Universität zu Lübeck) & Deniz Sarikaya (Vrije Universiteit Brussels & Universität zu Lübeck) == Topic: In 1960, physicist and Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner wrote an article entitled "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences." Wigner was surprised that the mathematical structure of a physical theory not only accurately describes the physical world but also leads to new predictions and further advances. This phenomenon puzzled him, leading to the term "unreasonable effectiveness": Why is mathematics so effective in describing the natural world? More recently, a Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for work that many might consider to belong to computer science. The first image of a black hole, for example, relied heavily on sophisticated code. Formal tools are now integral to many complex measurements, cutting across various scientific practices. We are organizing a two-day exploratory workshop. The main theme will broadly explore the applicability of mathematics both within and outside its traditional boundaries. Day 1 will focus on the use of mathematical tools in the sciences, particularly in the life sciences. The life sciences are increasingly becoming more mathematical, and there are ongoing fruitful discussions-both scientific and philosophical-on how mathematics should be coordinated with biological and medical phenomena. Day 2 will shift to internal mathematical considerations, such as how formal tools, like theorem-proving software, can be applied to these interdisciplinary efforts. Moreover, "applicability" has become a major theme in mathematical research, as some analytical resources prove to be more suitable for different contexts within pure mathematics. This is a topic that has recently garnered the attention of philosophers of mathematics, especially those interested in the "practice turn" in philosophy. Finally, a common thread throughout both days of the workshop is the ethical dimension. The way we mathematize and quantify the real world, and how automation influences various fields, has wide-reaching implications for society and numerous professional practices. == Speakers: * Thorsten Altenkirch (University of Nottingham) * Ozan Altan Altinok (CELLS, Leibniz Universität Hannover) * Bernhard Fisseni (Universität Duisburg-Essen) * Christian Herzog (Universität zu Lübeck) * Deborah Kant (Universität Hamburg) * Benedikt Löwe (Universität Hamburg & Cambridge University) [Online] * José Antonio Perez-Escobar (UNED, Madrid) * Bernhard Schröder (Universität Duisburg-Essen) * Cristina Villegas (Universidade de Lisboa) * Diedrich Wolter (Universität zu Lübeck) * More TBA == Supported by: Die Akademie der Wissenschaften in Hamburg, Ethical Innovation Hub of the Universität zu Lübeck, and Institut für Medizingeschichte und Wissenschaftsforschung der Universität zu Lübeck.

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.
