Einladung zum Workshop „Erreichbarer Frieden“ – 13. Juni 2025

by Raphael Gustavo Aybar Valdivia

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [News] Einladung zum Workshop „Erreichbarer Frieden“ – 13. Juni 2025 Date: 05.05.2025 13:41 From: Carina Wurzinger <carina.wurzinger(a)univie.ac.at> To: news(a)lists.philo.at Erreichbarer Frieden – Eine interdisziplinäre Annäherung Friedenskonzeptionen unterscheiden sich in der Art und Weise, wie sie Frieden begreifen: Philosophische Ansätze diskutieren einerseits ideale Vorstellungen von Frieden, andererseits konkrete Handlungsnormen, wie etwa in der Tradition des gerechten Krieges. In der Soziologie wird erreichbarer Frieden als ein messbarer Zustand der Konfliktbewältigung verstanden. Politisch könnten wir ihn als Ausgestaltung von Machtverhältnissen oder die verhandlungsgeleitete, praktische Umsetzbarkeit eines Nicht-Kriegszustands verstehen. Der Workshop zielt darauf ab, diese Perspektiven miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen. Im Zeitalter der Wiederaufrüstung Europas stellen sich moralische, politische und institutionelle Fragen nach der Erreichbarkeit von Frieden: Was macht einen erreichbaren Frieden aus? Wie können wir ihn disziplinübergreifend begreifen? Macht ein erreichbarer Frieden den Diskurs über idealisierte Friedensvorstellungen obsolet? Wie lässt sich ein solcher Friedensbegriff in unser Denken darüber integrieren, was im Hier und Jetzt getan werden sollte? Datum: Freitag, 13. Juni 2025 Zeit: 9:00 – 17:00 Uhr (inkl. Mittagspause von 12:30 – 13:30 Uhr) Ort: Institut für Philosophie, Seminarraum 3A, Universitätsstraße 7, 3. Stock, 1010 Wien Vortragende: * Max Haller (Universität Graz) * Georg Kunovjanek (Theresianische Militärakademie) * Stephanie Fenkart (International Institute for Peace, IIP) * Angela Kallhoff (Universität Wien) * Lisa Tragbar (Universität Wien) * Andreas Oberprantacher (Universität Innsbruck) Der Workshop ist kostenlos, aber die Plätze vor Ort sind begrenzt. Ich bitte daher um eine formlose Anmeldung an lisa.tragbar(a)univie.ac.at. Eine Online-Teilnahme über Zoom ist möglich. Nach Anmeldung schicken wir Ihnen gern einen Link zu. _______________________________________________ News mailing list -- news(a)lists.philo.at To unsubscribe send an email to news-leave(a)lists.philo.at -- MSc.

Normative generics are generic sentences like their descriptive counterparts, but rather than merely describing a kind of generalization, their meanings are said to have a distinctively more normative flavor. How the meanings of normative and descriptive generics differ, and the source of the normative flavor, is a matter of intense debate, and further complicates the already challenging landscape of existing accounts of generics. The difference between descriptive and normative generics has been observed in important work going back to the 1970s (cf. especially Lawler or Burton-Roberts), with other significant work following some decades later (Carlson, Greenberg, Cohen, a.o.). Work by Leslie brought the topic to particular prominence in the last decade, especially in philosophy. This workshop addresses open questions in the analysis of normative generics--pertaining to their semantics, their pragmatics, their discourse functions, and the kinds of cognition that might underpin their use. We are particularly interested in how various kinds of social cognition provide explanatory tools for understanding aspects of their use (e.g., in recent work by Berio & Musholt, Hesni, a.o.)

An Emerging Debate in Philosophy _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture: _Can Biology Help Us Defend Free Will? An Emerging Debate in Philosophy, 10 June 2025, 17:00 (CEST) _Venue:_ Austrian Academy of Sciences, Johannessaal, Dr. Ignaz Seipel Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Austria, and online _Organiser:_ Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna & Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences) _Description:_ Humans - members of the biological species _homo sapiens_ - are products of evolution. Therefore, if we have free will, it is plausible to assume that our free will is also a product of evolution. But do we actually have free will? Is it - at least sometimes - up to us what we decide to do? Strikingly, philosophers have long ignored biology when it comes to answering these questions. Instead, they have quibbled about whether and how free will might fit into a supposedly deterministic universe as studied by (classical) physics. Only recently has the debate about free will begun to open up to biological considerations - so far, however, mostly with sceptical results. We are told that it is not we but our brains that decide what we want and how we act, or that our genes determine our decisions, or other biological factors beyond our control. In this _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture_, Alfred R. Mele, Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University, and Anne Sophie Meincke, member of the Young Academy and philosopher at the University of Vienna, will take an overdue fresh look at the relationship between free will and biology: Can biology help us understand and perhaps even defend free will? If so, how? If not, why not? To make progress here, it is necessary to critically analyse the arguments put forward against free will in the name of biology. Do these sceptical arguments really show what they claim to show? If not, then there is room to explore what constructive role biology could play in an attempt to defend free will against scepticism. Perhaps the common conception of a biological organism as some kind of deterministic machine is not accurate after all? How should we understand organisms instead? What biological function could free will serve? Taking evolution seriously also suggests considering the possibility that free will may not be a privilege of human organisms. _First Lecture:_ Alfred R. Mele: "Free Will and Neurobiology" _Second Lecture:_ Anne Sophie Meincke: "Free Will Is Real and Biology Helps Us Understand Why" The _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series_ brings cutting-edge scientific topics to the public, presented by distinguished experts and members of the Young Academy. The present two lectures kick off the interdisciplinary conference "Free Will: New Perspectives from Philosophy, Biology and Neuroscience" [6], organised by Anne Sophie Meincke and taking place at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on 11 and 12 June 2025. More information (including the programme with abstracts of the lectures) is to be found here [7]. To attend in person, please register free of charge here [8].

However, free will in this strong, 'libertarian' sense - involving a choice between alternatives - is increasingly being questioned by philosophers and scientists. While traditional concerns were predicated on the deterministic laws of classical physics, today sceptics also cite biology and neuroscience. We are told that our genes or our brains, not we, decide what we want and how we act. This conference gathers leading experts in philosophy, biology and neuroscience who argue the opposite. Cutting-edge research into the biological and neural basis of human and animal agency challenges deterministic assumptions, adding to doubts from quantum physics and pointing to non-reductionist views of agency and action causation. At the same time, recent advances in the philosophy of biology and metaphysics offer new conceptual resources for understanding agency and free will under indeterminism. The conference explores the resulting prospects for a scientifically grounded, ontologically robust concept of 'libertarian' free will, breaking new ground in interdisciplinary research on free will. _Invited Speakers:_ Björn Brembs (University of Regensburg), John Dupré (University of Exeter), Geert Keil (Humboldt University of Berlin), Christian List (LMU Munich), Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna), Alfred R. Mele (Florida State University), Kevin Mitchell (with Henry Potter; both Trinity College Dublin), Stephen Mumford (Durham University), Helen Steward (University of Leeds), Peter U. Tse (Dartmouth College). _Concluding Reflections:_ Johannes Jaeger (University of Vienna), Josef Quitterer (University of Innsbruck) More details (including the conference programme) are to be found here [11] (in English) and here [6] (in German). To attend in person, please register free of charge by 2nd June 2025 here [12]. Or follow the event via live stream [9]. This conference is associated with the Elise Richter-research project "Bio-Agency and Natural Freedom", led by Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke and funded by the Austrian Science Fund (grant DOI 10.55776/V714). It will be preceded by a _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture_ by Alfred R. Mele (Florida State University) and Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna & Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences) on the question "Can Biology Help Us Defend Free Will?"

Antoine Soulas, "An interpretation-independent formulation of the measurement problem" - Physics meets Philosophy

by Sebastian Horvat

Dear all, You are hereby invited to the next "Physics meets Philosophy" talk by Antoine Soulas (University of Vienna) Title: An interpretation-independent formulation of the measurement problem (see abstract below) Date: May 7th (Wednesday) Time: 11:00-12:30 Location: IQOQI Seminar room (Boltzmanngasse 3, 2nd floor) Zoom link (for those that cannot join in person): https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66902590859?pwd=HaoStYqIbHUcDcq8fMl9MYm6OibV2E.1 Abstract: In this presentation, I do not try to solve the measurement problem, but rather to properly formulate it. One of the reasons why it still lacks a precise, agreed definition is that the problem may take very different forms depending on the interpretation of QM embraced. I propose to identify the common root of the puzzle in an interpretation-independent way (i.e. as a property of the probabilities only) and derive its philosophical consequences. The key point is that the violation of the total probability formula in QM does not allow to construct an objective ontology, independent from epistemology. This enables to: (i) better compare the different interpretations of QM; (ii) propose a reason why QM and GR are so fundamentally incompatible, not relying on purely mathematical or technical arguments.
