Tagung für Praktische Philosophie am 25.-26. September 2025 in Passau) _Organisatorinnen:_ Katharina Naumann (Magdeburg/Berlin) & Larissa Wallner (Frankfurt/Berlin) Vor dem Hintergrund der politischen Entwicklungen der vergangenen Jahre lässt sich einerseits eine sich wandelnde Ästhetisierung der Politik beobachten und andererseits eine immer offensichtlicher werdende Politisierung der Ästhetik. Ausgehend von dieser Beobachtung soll das Panel Gelegenheit bieten, über die vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen ästhetischer Erfahrungen einerseits und vorherrschender politischer Strukturen, Moralvorstellungen und Wissensordnungen andererseits nachzudenken. Dabei stellen sich zunächst grundsätzliche Fragen etwa nach der Legitimität einer politischen und moralischen Beurteilung von Kunst; danach, ob das Ästhetische eine bloß vermittelnde Funktion hat oder selbst ein genuiner Teil des Politischen ist; oder auch nach ihrem gesellschaftlichen Transformationspotential - im Guten wie im Schlechten. Fragen dieser Art sollen im Panel vor allem hinsichtlich der politisch-epistemischen Erschließungsfunktion ('disclosure') ästhetischer Darstellungen und Wahrnehmungen diskutiert werden. Je nach metaphysischem Tenor lassen sich ästhetische Praktiken und Erfahrungen als Entdeckung dessen, was immer schon da war oder als metaphysische Konstruktion von Wirklichkeit deuten. Als transformativ lassen sie sich aber in jedem Fall beurteilen, da ästhetische Gegenstände nicht zuletzt durch ihre affektive Dimension eine wirklichkeitsgestaltende Kraft entfalten können, indem sie Perspektiven eröffnen, Bedeutungsverschiebungen initiieren und Sprachspiele in Unordnung bringen. Wie insbesondere zahlreiche Arbeiten aus der feministischen Philosophie, der Queer Theory, der Critical Philosophy of Race und der postkolonialen Theorie deutlich gemacht haben, besitzen (Un)Sichtbarkeit, (Un)Wissen und (Un)Sagbarkeit sowohl eine moralphilosophische Relevanz als auch eine politische Dimension, insofern sie stets durch Interessen und Machtstrukturen mitgeprägt sind. Man denke hier beispielsweise an Debatten um 'white ignorance', epistemische Gewalt und Ungerechtigkeit, Cancel Culture, (standpunkttheoretische) Überlegungen zu epistemischen Privilegien und daraus resultierenden Problematiken wie epistemische Ausbeutung oder 'elite capture'. Erkenntnisse aus diesen Debatten sollen im Panel mit Blick auf die funktionale Wesensbestimmung und Auseinandersetzung mit dem Politischen der Ästhetik diskutiert werden. Wir freuen uns über Einreichungen, die sich u.a. mit folgenden Fragenkomplexen befassen: * Wie können neue Sichtweisen auf die Welt durch ästhetische Praktiken erschlossen werden (Ferrara, Camp) oder erhellt werden (Lorde)? Inwiefern hängt dies davon ab, welche Art von und wessen Kunst rezipiert wird, und wie wirkt sich dies darauf aus, wie wir unser (Zusammen)Leben gestalten? * Inwiefern werden bestimmte Perspektiven und Bedeutungen durch ästhetische Praktiken verschlossen (Lakoff & Johnson)? Und inwiefern schränken andersherum ethisch-politische Perspektiven die ästhetische Wahrnehmung ein ('imaginative resistance')? * Entfalten (nicht-diskursive) Darstellungen, wie Fotografien, Filme, Romane, per se behauptende, affirmative Kraft? Wie trägt das Ästhetische zur epistemischen Verengung und zur Normalisierung von Herrschaftsverhältnissen durch Darstellungen bei (MacKinnon)? * Welche Rolle spielt das Ästhetische bei der Artikulation einer Stimme (Spivak, Cavell), der Konstruktion von Perspektive ('female gaze') oder Menschlichkeit (Butler), der Entwicklung von Identität (Fournier, Hartmann) oder auch authentischen Begehrens (Cixous, Emcke, Preciado)? * Inwiefern haben Kunstproduktion und Kunstkonsum eine befreiende Wirkung (Menke /Rebentisch)? Gibt es bestimmte ästhetische Phänomene, die eine Bedingung von Befreiung darstellen, wie etwa Faszination (Menke) oder der Gebrauch der Erotik (Lorde, Bataille)? * Welche Gefahren gehen einerseits mit dem populistischen Einsatz von Ästhetik einher? Welche Bedeutung haben ästhetische Praktiken andererseits als Formen des Widerstands, etwa in antikapitalistischen und antifaschistischen Kämpfen? * Welche Bedeutung kommt dem Ästhetischen für die Repräsentation und Anerkennung pluraler Lebensformen und Wertesysteme zu? Welche politischen Funktionen übernimmt Kunst in der Zivilgesellschaft (Triki)? Anonymisierte Abstracts (max. 500 Wörter) für einen Vortrag von 20 Minuten werden bis zum _7. April 2025_ erbeten an: larissa.wallner(a)gmx.de und katharina.naumann(a)ovgu.de. Über eine Annahme des Vorschlags in das Panel werden wir zeitnah informieren. Das Panel wird dann als Ganzes bei der Tagung für Praktische Philosophie eingereicht. ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (Dortmund, Deadline: 31.05.2025) 2nd Dortmund Conference on Philosophy and Society with Kate Vredenburgh (LSE) _October 1-2, 2025_ The Department of Philosophy and Political Science at TU Dortmund University and the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are delighted to announce the 2nd Dortmund Conference on Philosophy and Society, taking place on October 1-2, 2025, in Dortmund, Germany. The event will feature Kate Vredenburgh [2] from the London School of Economics, who works in the philosophy of social science, political philosophy, and the philosophy of technology, and who was recently awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship for a project on the future of work. The first day of the conference will be reserved for up to six presentations from speakers selected via this call for papers. Kate Vredenburgh will be present to respond to the papers. She will also give a public evening lecture. On the second day, we will hold a student workshop on Vredenburgh's work. _Conference Themes_ The conference will engage with themes from Vredenburgh's work, in particular philosophical perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI) and on the future of work. Concerning AI, Vredenburgh investigates the moral implications of the use of opaque AI systems in the institutions of our society, arguing for a right to explanation. She has developed an ethically informed picture of algorithmic bias, and proposed an account of how we should respond to such bias from the perspective of justice and fairness. She is also an advocate of a right to explanation in the context of AI, based on explanation's relevance in protecting the possibility of informed self-advocacy. Regarding the future of work, Vredenburgh's research focuses on the impact of AI on the workplace. She draws on egalitarian theories of justice and argues that AI should be deployed so as to enable more equality at work, and she maintains that opaque AI contributes to working conditions which undermine workers' autonomy while alienating them from their work. _Call for Contributions_ We invite scholars to submit papers for the first day of the conference. We welcome contributions on the topics sketched above, including, but not limited to: * Explainable AI - perspectives from ethics, political philosophy, epistemology, and philosophy of science * The right to explanation * Algorithmic bias and algorithmic fairness * The impact of AI on institutions * The impact of AI on the future work Contributions engaging with Vredenburgh's are especially welcome, but we will also consider work on these topics more broadly. _Submission Guidelines_ * Abstracts should be no more than 500 words, prepared for blind review. * Submissions should be sent as PDF attachments to Paul Klur [paul.klur(a)tu-dortmund.de]. Please use the subject line "CfP Vredenburgh". * The _deadline_ for submissions is _May 31, 2025_. * Limited funding may be available to cover travel and accommodation expenses for speakers who cannot otherwise finance these costs. _Registration and Additional Information_ For registration details, conference program, and additional information, please visit our website [3]. _Organizing Committee_ Florian Boge Sara Mann Chris Neuhäuser Eva Schmidt ****************************************** (4) CALL FOR PAPERS (Special Issue, Deadline: 31.07.2025) Topoi: Linguistic Derogation and Its Prevention Paper submissions are invited for the special issue/collection of Topoi entitled: The Darkside of Language: Linguistic Derogation and Its Prevention. The special issue aims to bring together researchers on different areas of derogatory and manipulative language who also discuss the practical implications of their research when it comes to preventing both linguistic derogation/manipulation and its negative effects. Special issue article publications often bring higher citations and visibility than regular papers and attract more relevant readership due to its scope. Topoi is indexed in the Web of Science under AHCI, currently in Quartile 1 and placed in the top-10 ranked Philosophy-Category journals, with a 2023 IF of 1,3 and CiteScore of 3,1. Guest Editor(s): * Stefan Rinner, University of Duisburg-Essen, Email: stefan.rinner(a)uni-due.de DESCRIPTION Language can be used in highly destructive ways. One such way is the usage of pejorative language. These are individual expressions, such as slurs, or larger linguistic constructions, such as hate speech, that are used to derogate an individual or group because of a certain group identity (e.g. based on race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or the like) or because of personal characteristics, such as appearance. As a consequence, derogatory language primarily has two functions. First, it can be used to offend or psychologically harm. Second, it can be used to create or reinforce negative attitudes towards the derogated individual or group. For example, most uses of derogatory language for Jewish people in Nazi propaganda had mainly the purpose to create and reinforce anti-Semitic attitudes that would lead to increasing discrimination and violence against Jewish people, to their expulsion or incarceration in concentration camps, and, ultimately, to genocide. In the philosophy of language, the question then arises how linguistic derogation is accomplished. A satisfactory answer to this question should explain both the offensiveness of derogatory language and the fact that it can be used to create and reinforce negative attitudes. Since a comprehensive understanding of language requires an understanding of how language is used to derogate, providing such an explanation is generally seen as a touchstone for the quality and correctness of theories from the philosophy of language. Moreover, a better understanding of how linguistic derogation is accomplished is not only of theoretical interest, but also of practical and ethical relevance. If we can understand how linguistic derogation works, then we can also understand how to prevent or at least contain the negative consequences of its use, and whether such attempts at containment are compatible with, for example, the right to free speech. The discussion of linguistic derogation is often scattered throughout different areas of inquiry, such as slurs, hate speech, or misgendering. Furthermore, the question of how a better understanding of linguistic derogation can help us to prevent or at least contain the negative consequences of its use is often neglected. The ambition of this collection is to close both gaps by bringing together researchers on different areas of derogatory language who also discuss the practical implications of their research. In addition, the issue will discuss phenomena in the vicinity of linguistic derogation, such as linguistic manipulation (e.g., the use of dogwhistles). Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * The semantics and pragmatics of derogatory language (including misgendering) * Derogatory language and free speech * Counterspeech and other ways of blocking the negative effects of derogatory language * Linguistic manipulation and its prevention (e.g. dogwhistles, coded language, fake news) INVITED CONTRIBUTORS: Jennifer Saul and Ray Drainville (University of Waterloo) Quill R.

Abstract: According to a Fregean view recently revived in higher-order metaphysics, predicates do not denote objects, construed as any kind of thing a name could denote, but must denote things of a fundamentally different logical type. A common route to that conclusion is via Russell's Paradox, but this doesn't do much to illuminate what it is about names and predicates that prevents them from both denoting kinds of objects. This paper critically examines more linguistically oriented arguments that attempt to establish the negative Fregean conclusion by reflection on the nature of predication, or how names and predicates combine to form truth-apt sentences in the first place. I begin with two such arguments but conclude that, properly situated in a general syntactic and semantic framework, they remain unconvincing. I then reconstruct a third argument, inspired by Wittgenstein's picture theory of meaning, showing that something in a sentence must indeed have a semantic function other than that of denoting an object. However, the Fregean victory remains constrained, in that we have little reason to think English predicates must be what play that non-denoting role, especially if predicate position is to be open to quantification. * Best wishes, Esther Heinrich-Ramharter Georg Schiemer Links: ------ [1] https://philosophie.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/i_philosophie/Orient… [2] https://mrieppel.net/index.html [3] https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=110233 [4] https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=109131 [5] https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=28828 [6] https://www.uni-konstanz.de/adilt/das-adilt-team/jun-prof-dr-carolin-antos-… [7] https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=1014435 [8] https://sites.google.com/view/constantin-brincus/home [9] https://philosophy.ucdavis.edu/people/robert-may [10] https://uw.academia.edu/MichalGodziszewski [11] https://logik-cafe.univie.ac.at/ ______________________________________________ -- MSc.

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.

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.
