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)
* Alfredo Vernazzani (Ruhr University Bochum)
* Markus Werning (Ruhr University Bochum)
Organizers: Sofia Pedrini, Alfredo Vernazzani, Markus Werning (Ruhr
University of Bochum).

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
Grewe [6]__._

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
Research Center (DKFZ), the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT),
and Heidelberg University Hospital as well as the IMSEAM and the MPImR
themselves. _The workshop will also feature S. Matthew Liao, Arthur
Zitrin Professor of Bioethics at the School of Global Public Health at
New York University (NYU), as the keynote speaker_, adding an
internationally recognized voice to the ethical debates surrounding
emerging biotechnologies.

(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_)

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]

>> We invite abstracts (300 words) for 15-minute presentations addressing
>> wild(erness) narratives and/or the ethics of rewilding, biodiversity,

_Conference Overview_
We are pleased to invite submissions for the conference _The Syntax and
Semantics of Formalisations in Philosophy_, to be held at LMU Munich on
27-28 June 2025. This event will explore the relationship between formal
methods and philosophical inquiry, focusing on the challenges, debates,
and implications of formalising philosophical concepts.
The conference will feature four keynote talks and eight contributed
presentations mainly across three main topics:
_1. The Feasibility and Challenges of Formalising Philosophy:_ This
theme examines the adequacy of formal methods in capturing the nuances
of philosophical ideas, identifying common challenges such as potential
oversimplification and loss of depth, and exploring the relationships
between terms and concepts within formal systems.
_2. Pros and Cons of Using Formalisations in Philosophy:_ This topic
addresses the ongoing discussion regarding the value of formal methods
in philosophy, highlighting their benefits, including enhanced precision
and clarity, alongside the limitations imposed by formal systems, such
as the risk of diminishing the richness of philosophical discourse.
_3. Conceptual Pluralism and Choosing the Right Formalisation:_ This
theme recognises the diversity of formal methods and evaluates the
criteria for selecting the most appropriate approaches for philosophical
inquiry, considering the intended applications and goals of
formalisation.
We welcome contributions that provide original insights into these and
related topics. Historical approaches or comparative studies across
different philosophical schools are also encouraged.

(4) CALL FOR PAPERS (Dortmund, Deadline: 10.01.2025)
Dortmund Disputes on Economic Justice
Date: June 12 and 13, 2025.
Place: 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 [2]. 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.
We invite scholars to apply with an abstract of around 500 words.
Abstracts will be selected based on their quality, fit with the spirit
of the conference, and broad alignment with the research interests of
the keynote speakers. They should be sent as PDF attachments to Swaantje
Siebke [swaantje.siebke(a)tu-dortmund.de], prepared for blind review. The
deadline for submission is January 10, 2025.
Limited funding is available to cover travel and accommodation expenses
for speakers who cannot otherwise finance these costs.

_About SSHAP: _
SSHAP is an international organization aimed at promoting discussion in
all areas of scholarship concerning the development of analytic
philosophy. It welcomes scholars interested in the many ways in which
this development was influenced by thinkers such as Bolzano, Brentano
and his school, Husserl, Frege, Russell, the Vienna Circle,
Wittgenstein, Tarski, Quine, and the Polish school, for instance, but
also seeks to promote work engaging with lesser-known figures and
trends, and its reception in countries right across the world.
Submissions to the SSHAP annual conference in all areas of the history
of analytic philosophy are welcome.

(6) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Innsbruck, 30-31.10.2024)
Book Symposium on Thomas Grundmann's forthcoming book "Expert Authority
and the Limits of Critical Thinking" (OUP)
Department of Christian Philosophy
University of Innsbruck
Dekanatssitzungssaal
Karl-Rahner-Platz 1
_Abstract of the book_: Public confidence in scientific experts is high,
particularly in times of crisis. But experts are not beyond doubt. In
his forthcoming book, Thomas Grundmann argues that a different attitude
towards experts is needed. Laypeople should stop thinking for themselves
and typically defer to experts. In short, laypeople should treat experts
as epistemic authorities. Grundmann presents a novel argument for this
bold view and engages with its main challenges. For example, doesn't the
view make experts too powerful and completely immune to criticism? The
book replies to these and many more concerns about the authority of
experts. On its way issues such as the history of epistemic authority,
expert identification, the role of expert authority in resisting
conspiracy theories, epistemic autonomy, and the role of experts in
politics are addressed.

Christine M. Korsgaard: Value and Freedom in Kant's Moral Philosophy
Christine M. Korsgaard, die an der Harvard University lehrt, ist eine
der wichtigsten Philosophinnen unserer Zeit. Ihr Werk widmet sich unter
anderem einer Rechtfertigung menschlicher Würde, einer Grundlegung
unseres richtigen Handelns und der Begründung des moralischen Status von
Tieren. In den Dagmar-Westberg-Vorlesungen geht sie in drei Vorträgen
zentralen Fragen der Praktischen Philosophie Kants nach, die sie auf
innovative Weise deutet. Der erste Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit dem
unvergleichlichen Wert des Individuums und ergründet, was es eigentlich
heißt, „Zweck an sich selbst" zu sein. Der zweite Vortrag ist dem
Zusammenhang von richtigem und gutem Handeln gewidmet und weist als
wesentliches Kennzeichen deren Autonomie aus. Im dritten Vortrag wird
schließlich Moralität als Bedingung unserer Freiheit thematisch.
