(1) CALL FOR PAPERS (Salzburg, Deadline: 28.02.2025)
Dignity in the Digital Age
June 17 to 18, 2024 (lunch to lunch)
University of Salzburg
Organizers: Gottfried Schweiger (Salzburg) and Michael Zichy (Bonn)
Invited speakers: Marcel Becker and Adrienne de Ruiter
In an era where digitalization permeates every aspect of our lives, the
concept of dignity is being redefined and challenged in unprecedented
ways. This conference and book volume seek to explore the multifaceted
relationship between digitalization and dignity, addressing the
challenges that technological advancements pose, for example, to our
fundamental rights, privacy, and sense of self-worth. We invite scholars
from various philosophical backgrounds and disciplines to contribute to
this critical discourse.Issues of control, safety, respect, and justice
in online spaces demand urgent attention, calling for a reevaluation of
existing ethical frameworks and political philosophies. The opacity of
complex algorithms, often referred to as the "black box" problem, poses
significant challenges to explainability and transparency, making it
difficult for users to understand how decisions affecting them are made.
This also calls to address the need for robust regulation and policies
to mitigate the adverse effects of digitalization on society.
Discussions on digital literacy are also encouraged, as empowering
individuals with the knowledge to navigate digital spaces is essential
for protecting their dignity and rights. Contributions that offer
insights into the ethical considerations and propose solutions for
enhancing fairness and reducing discrimination - for example with
respect to vulnerable and marginalized groups - in digital systems are
highly valued.
This call for papers seeks to foster a philosophical dialogue that not
only critiques the current state of digital technologies but also
envisions a future where dignity is upheld in the face of rapid
technological advancement. Papers will be featured in a book volume
dedicated to this theme.
We invite abstracts of 500 words (in Word format) and a brief CV. Travel
and accommodation expenses up to 500EUR can be covered. Please send your
abstract before February 28 to the organizers @ this email address:
gottfried.schweiger(a)plus.ac.at

including graduate students. Topics may include, but are not limited to,
the following:
- features and functions of therapeutic speech and conversations
- linguistic models and explanations of the various functions and
effects of therapeutic speech
- application of tools or models developed in other areas of research to
therapeutic speech
- similarities between therapeutic speech and other socially relevant
kinds of speech (e.g., hate speech and political speech)
The submitted abstracts should be 500 words and indicate the intended
kind of presentation:
(i) Regular: 20 min presentation, 10 min discussion
(ii) Exploratory: 5 min presentation, 10 min discussion
Please send your abstract as a .pdf file to stefan.rinner(a)uni-due.de.

(4) CALL FOR PAPERS (Special Issue, Deadline: 01.11.2025)
Inquiry: Insights through Metaphors
Journal: _Inquiry: An interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy_
Guest Editors:
Jochen Briesen (Heidelberg University)
Jacob Hesse (Ruhr-University Bochum)
Description:
This special issue is based on a conference that was held in June 2024
at the University of Konstanz. Traditionally, discussions of metaphor
tend to emphasize either its aesthetic aspect, often at the expense of
its epistemic value, or vice versa. Our hypothesis, however, is that the
aesthetic dimension of metaphors can actively contribute to and enhance
their epistemic significance. We think that this investigation naturally
leads to questions about the relationship between metaphors and images.
For instance, to what extent do metaphors possess pictorial qualities?
Some scholars have even suggested the existence of genuine visual
metaphors. In this context, it is worth exploring the distinct
properties metaphors acquire when realized visually. Further questions
are: Can the epistemic value of metaphors be clarified by drawing upon
the epistemic value of images? How do the aesthetic and epistemic
aspects of images and metaphors relate to each other? What epistemic
value can art and aesthetic objects in general hold? Is there a unique
epistemic value inherent in metaphors themselves? Which value can
metaphors and analogies have for science and (scientific) understanding
in general?
We invite contributions that explore these and other related questions
from the perspectives of philosophy of language, linguistics,
epistemology, philosophy of science, aesthetics, art history, or
cultural studies.
The deadline for submissions is November 1st, 2025.
Submissions should be made through the journal's online system. When
submitting, please be sure to select our special issue from the dropdown
menu provided. If this step is missed, the manuscript will be processed
as a regular submission.

(6) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Tutzing, 01-02.03.2025)
Veranstaltung "Und was bringt ein Argument, das die Leute nicht bewegt?"
_"Und was bringt ein Argument, das die Leute nicht bewegt?"_
_Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Argumentierens in Politik und
Gesellschaft_
In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Netzwerk "Argumentieren in der Schule" und
der Universität Mainz
Leitung: Laura Martena / Dominik Balg
Die Debattenkultur steckt in einer tiefen Krise. Das ist jedenfalls
seit Jahren überall zu hören und zu lesen. Haben wir das Argumentieren
verlernt? Oder waren wir nie besonders gut darin? Wozu sollten wir
überhaupt in den argumentativen Austausch mit anderen treten, und
warum fällt uns das so schwer? Bei der Tagung suchen wir Antworten.
Dazu betrachten wir im ersten Teil aktuelle Diagnosen des Stands der
Debattenkultur. Dabei werden wir unter anderem auf wachsende Sachferne
und Wahrheitsvergessenheit, Emotionalisierung und Verrohung stoßen. In
einem solchen Klima scheinen sachliche Argumente einen besonders
schlechten Stand zu haben. Sollten wir daher unter anderem bei
ethischen und politischen Kontroversen besser auf das Argumentieren
verzichten und stattdessen versuchen, unsere Positionen mit anderen
Mitteln durchzusetzen? Eine alternative Reaktion könnte darin bestehen,
sich stärker um die Ausbildung und Förderung argumentativer Fähigkeiten
und Haltungen zu bemühen. Da wir diese nicht immer schon besitzen,
sondern erst erwerben müssen, bedürfte es dazu neuer Bildungsformate. Im
zweiten Teil der Tagung stellen wir unter anderem Praxis-Projekte vor,
die eben dies leisten sollen. Zum Abschluss loten wir aus, inwieweit
sich die Debattenkultur durch solche Initiativen verbessern lässt. Die
Tagung richtet sich an Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren im
schulischen und außerschulischen Bildungsbereich und darüber hinaus an
alle Interessierten.
