IVC Talk: Georg Schiemer "On two types of instrumental devices", November 14, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Georg Schiemer, who will give a talk on November 14, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Georg Schiemer On two types of instrumental devices Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 14/11/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: Instrumental devices are linguistic expressions that are formal or non-representational but nevertheless indispensable or at least instrumentally useful for certain theoretical purposes. We give a systematic study of such expressions and their roles in theorizing, thus offering a unified treatment of instrumental devices across different philosophical areas. Specifically, we present an explication of two general types of such devices, namely merely expressive devices and merely inferential devices and discuss their respective theoretical roles based on a number of philosophical examples. Joint work with Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich).

Call for Applications - Summer School on History and Epistemology of Econometrics - Vienna July 2025

by Zarah Weiss

Summer School Call for Applications (Deadline: February 15, 2025) 23rd univie: summer school Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC) The History and Epistemology of Econometrics Vienna, July 7-11, 2025 https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/ Course Description Models and their econometric estimation play an increasingly important role in modern economic and political life. From macroeconomic policy and financial regulation to public health and climate policy, models contribute to shaping policies. The generation of ever more data is likely to support the proliferation of models and econometrics. Research resources in academia focus on the theoretical foundations of the underlying model and on the statistical methods of econometrics; much less attention is devoted to the epistemological challenges of the underlying concepts, the normative challenges of the everyday work with econometrics, and the application of its results in policy decisions and evaluation. The objective of this program is to increase attention amongst philosophers of science, academic economists, and empirical economists in policy institutions (eg, central banks) to these issues. The course is also structured around a particular point of view namely, that economics is a science of models and that most of the main features of econometrics relate generally to the role of models in science. Topics will be selected reflecting participants interests and may include: * History of econometrics to frame the philosophical issues to be discussed in the course * The Vienna Circle and econometrics * Values and Ethical Pitfalls in econometric research * Key philosophical issues of how models relate to the world and how they relate to each other * Data: observation, classification, and measurement of economic variables from a modeling point of view * Conceptual issues related to modeling randomness * The identification problem: how possibly, if at all possible, to map descriptive relations onto theoretical variables? * Issues related to optional stopping, search methodologies, and the proper interpretation of results obtained through search * Different approaches to the nature of causation and different strategies of causal inference * The conceptual basis of graphical causal modeling and controlled, natural, and field experiments * The conceptual issues surrounding the problem of model uncertainty, as well as some of the strategies economists use to address it Main Lecturers: Kevin D. Hoover (Duke University) Kevin D. Hoover is Professor of Economics and Philosophy and Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. He is the editor of the journal History of Political Economy and a past editor of the Journal of Economic Methodology. His current research addresses causality, causal inference in economics, the history of macroeconomics, philosophical issues related to the microfoundations of macroeconomics, and the engagement with economics of the American pragmatist philosopher Charles. S. Peirce. He is the author of The New Classical Macroeconomics, the Methodology of Empirical Macroeconomics, Causality in Macroeconomics, Applied Intermediate Macroeconomics, as well as many articles in monetary and macroeconomics, the history of economics, the philosophy of economics, and applied econometrics. Jennifer Jhun (Duke University) Jennifer Jhun is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Duke University, as well as a Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of Political Economy. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh. Her main research interests are in the philosophy of science, especially philosophy of economics, but also in issues in other areas, such as psychology and physics. She is currently engaged on a project that investigates antitrust from a historical and philosophy-of-science perspective: Whats the Point of ceteris Paribus? or, How to Understand Supply and Demand Curves. Philosophy of Science 85, no. 2 (2018): 271-292; Economics, Equilibrium Methods, and Multi-scale Modeling. Erkenntnis 86, no. 2 (2021): 457-472; Multi-Model Reasoning in Economics: The Case of COMPASS. Philosophy of Science 90, no. 4 (2023): 836-854; Implied Market Shares and Antitrust Markets as Fuzzy Sets. Forthcoming at The Antitrust Bulletin. (Joint with Matthew Panhans, Federal Trade Commission) Guest Lecturer: Marcel Boumans (University of Utrecht) Marcel Boumans is historian and philosopher of science at Utrecht University. His main research focus is on understanding empirical research practices in science outside the lab from a philosophy of science-in-practice perspective. He is particularly interested in the practices of measurement and modelling and the role of mathematics in social science. The first step in these practices is to make sense of the available data. Visualisations play an important role in this. His current research project Vision and Visualisation is nearing completion with a book manuscript Shaping the Phenomena. The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior researchers in philosophy of science and economics as well as empirical economists at policy institutions (eg, central banks) but the organizers also encourage applications from people in all stages of their career and from fields other than economics that apply advanced econometrics. Application form and further information: <https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/> https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/ USS-SWC operates under the academic supervision of an International Program Committee of distinguished philosophers, historians, and scientists.

IVC Talk: Lorenzo Sartori on "Scientific Pictures, Models, and their Justification", November 7, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Lorenzo Sartori (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on November 7, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Lorenzo Sartori SCIENTIFIC PICTURES, MODELS, AND THEIR JUSTIFICATION Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 07/11/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G ABSTRACT: In this paper, I first show that similarity accounts of scientific pictures fail with more realistic cases of scientific pictures. My primary case study is the picture of a black hole, from which I develop an interpretation-based account of picture representation analogous to how models represent: a picture represents a designated target system iff, once interpreted, it exemplifies properties that are then imputed to the target via a de-idealising function. Then, I show that justification of the inferences from pictures crucially depends on their causal mechanisms of production, in contrast with the standard justificatory strategies we employ for model inferences.

Vienna STS Talks - FutureSpace Talk by Eleanor S Armstrong & Réka P Gál

by Katrin Hackl

We are happy to invite you to our 5th talk of the Vienna STS Talk Series in 2024W [cid:image001.jpg@01DB2BA9.053CF530] FutureSpace Talk by Eleanor Armstrong & Réka Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leicester & STS, TU Munich November 14, 2024 04:00 PM-05:00 The Playboy Bunny and the Astronaut Wife: Constructing Femininities and the United States Space Program. You can register for the talk here<https://futurespace-project.eu/futurespace-talk-registration/> Abstract Inspired by Ahmed (2010), we follow the figures of the 'playboy bunny' and the 'astronaut wife' through the cultural legacies of (north american) space flight. Following from our work on what feminist interventions can offer to social studies of outer space (2023), in this talk we work through how femininities of the Other of the hegemonic masculinities of outer space are constructed. Our work asks how these figures reverberate in popular cultures to shape present and futures conceptions of femininity in outer space, and offer pathways that intervene in normative gendered futurities. In following these figures, we think about what illuminating them might do also for directing pathways of feminist scholarship on outer space in the future. We consider the Playboy Bunny: a construct of the pornotopic 1950s, and the discursive counterpoint to the womanizing young man. Appearing off-handedly in archival interviews about life at Johnson Space Center during the early space programmes of the 1950s and 60s, making her way secretly into lunar checklists worn by astronauts on the Moon, and continuing to draw media attention into the 2000s, we draw on Preciado's biopolitical theorising (2019) to think through the sexual relations and gender politics of the space programme. Contrastingly on the mother-whore axis, stands the media construct of the "astronaut wife." Using perspectives from Feminist Communication Studies, we explore how the assigned duties of the astronaut wife upheld the figure of the hypermasculine astronaut. We argue that the caretaking duties assigned to the figure of the "astronaut wife" extended beyond the confines of her homeboundness and homemaking into outer space: she was rendered part of the communication technologies available to take care of the hypermasculine astronaut's mental health. We conclude by considering how these examples help us pluralise and (re)make future femininities in relation to outer space. Biography Eleanor S Armstrong is a Space Research Fellow at the University of Leicester, UK, where she leads the Constellations Lab (on Outer Space & Feminism). She was awarded her PhD at University College London, UK, in 2020; and since then has held positions at the University of Delaware and Stockholm University, and visiting positions at, among others, the University of Cambridge, Ingenium Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation, New York University, and University of Vienna. Réka P Gál is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Science, Technology and Society at Technische Universität München. She completed her doctorate at University of Toronto's Faculty of Information.

WissGesch: Comenius / Reproduktion / Ausschreibungen

by Anna Echterhölter

Liebe EST-ler:innen, Wir haben einige Hinweise aus dem Bereich Wissenschaftsgeschichte: Heute sind Sie zu einem Vortrag über eine preisgekrönte Dissertation über die Welt der Bilder in der Pädagogik eingeladen (HS 30); Anfang November beginnt eine geblockte Vorlesung zur "Geschichte der Reproduktion", die wir sehr empfehlen. Diese Vorlesung ist ein einmaliges Angebot, denn die Gastprofessorin Martina Schlünder ist nur dieses Semester bei uns in Wien. Zudem gibt es einige Hinweise auf Stipendien und Stellenausschreibungen für diejenigen, die bereits über die Zeit nach dem Master nachdenken.** Mit bestem Gruß Anna Echterhölter <https://ifg.univie.ac.at/ueber-uns/mitarbeiterinnen/wissenschaftliche-mitar…>P.S. Wenn Sie Rückfragen zum Projektmodul M4 haben: Derzeit bin ich Modulbeauftragte. _______________________________ Anna Echterhölter Professor of History of Science University of Vienna Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies Department of History Universitätsring 1 1010 Vienna| Austria T + 43-1-4277-40 865 Editor of Science in Context Member of new DFG Network: Global Cultures of Enquête: Towards a Praxeology of Surveying (17th–21st Century) ************************************************* *30. Oktober 2024, 18.30 – 20.00 Uhr* Institut für Geschichte, Universität Wien, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien, Hörsaal 30 *Simon Huber *(Wien):* Buchstäbliche Aufklärung. Die Emergenz der Anschaulichkeit in Comenius’ /Orbis pictus /(1658)* /Moderation: Anna Echterhölter/ HYBRID – VOR ORT UND ONLINE UNTER: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/64820480515?pwd=OxWSTMlGHGYHaVykekomQOSUK1wUDk.1 Einer gängigen Einschätzung zu Folge erhob Johan Amos Comenius (1592–1670) „Anschaulichkeit“ zu einer zentralen Maßgabe der Unterrichtsgestaltung, ohne noch diesen Begriff zu prägen. Doch machte er in der Bildenzyklopädie /Orbis sensualium pictus /(‚Der sichtbare Erdkreis im Bild‘) die zugedachte Funktionsweise schulmeisterlich vor: Die 150 „vornehmlichsten Dinge“ dieser Welt werden repräsentiert, auf jeweils einer Doppelseite, mittels Holzschnitts, lateinischem Beschreibungstext und deutscher Übersetzung – auch unbedarfte Kinder sollten sich durch das Blättern in diesem Werk die darin repräsentierte Welt aneignen können. Aus diesem Paradigma speisen sich bis heute Hoffnungen auf eine medientechnisch entsprechend raffinierte Vermittlung, die es in naher Zukunft erlaubt, körperliche Präsenz aus der didaktischen Gleichung streichen zu können. Das Medium des Buches wird zum universalen Träger beliebigen Wissens, das nicht mehr der gleichzeitigen Anwesenheit von Lehrenden und Lernenden erfordert, sondern sich selbst mitteilt. Das medienarchäologische Studium dieses Buchs aus dem 17. Jahrhundert legt die Entstehung eines Codes in der Darstellung von Wissen frei. Dieser Anspruch, Wissen zur selbsttätigen Aneignung aufzubereiten, migriert in außerpädagogische Bereiche, durch Verdinglichung der Anschaulichkeit in Form eines Buchs. Sie ist als zentrales Kriterium des graphischen Interface-Designs in unserer Alltagskommunikation vorzufinden. *Zum Vortragenden:* Simon Huber lehrt und forscht zur visuellen Kultur spielerischer Wissensvermittlung. Er studierte Geschichte und Bildungswissenschaft (Universität Wien) und wurde an der Universität für angewandte Kunst promoviert. Seine Dissertation erhielt 2022 den Staatspreis „Award of Excellence“ des BMBWF. *********************************************** *6. November 2024: Auftakt der Vorlesung: Geschichte der Reproduktion* *Dozentin: Martina Schlünder* Hormone und die "Pille", In-Vitro-Fertilisation und "Reagenzglaskinder", Leihmutterschaft und Eizellspenden sind nur einige Ergebnisse der technologischen Wende in den Reproduktionswissenschaften des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie beschäftigten Enquête- und Ethikkommission, änderten Geschlechterbeziehungen, Familienstrukturen und Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse. Bevölkerungspolitik auf eugenischer und ökonomischer Basis, der Kampf um das weibliche Selbstbestimmungsrecht über den Körper und die Regulierung globaler Märkte für reproduktive Substanzen (Eizellen, Samen) prägen auch im 21. Jahrhundert geschlechter- und gesellschaftspolitische Auseinandersetzungen. Dabei tauchte der Reproduktionsbegriff erst im 18. Jahrhundert als Konzept in der europäischen Naturgeschichte auf. Reproduktion ersetzte den Zeugungsbegriff mit seiner Betonung des einmaligen, göttlichen Schöpfungsakts. Stattdessen diente das Reproduktionskonzept der Naturalisierung generativer Fähigkeiten und trug zur Konstitution des Lebensbegriffs und der Entstehung der Lebenswissenschaften im 19. Jahrhundert bei. https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/course.html?lv=070314&semester=2024W **************************************************** *3.

Final Call for Abstracts

by Alexander Linsbichler

*Final Call for Abstracts:* *Workshop I: Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian EconomicsThe FWF ESPRIT research project “Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian Economics”, the Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method (JKU Linz), the Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna), and the Vienna Circle Society host two workshops in 2025. The organizers seek submissions for contributed talks for the first workshop now.* Acknowledging the existence of disagreements between logical empiricism and the Austrian School, recent scholarship has challenged the received view of antithetical opposition by reconstructing hitherto neglected compatibilities and similarities between the two movements. This workshop aims to advance historical as well as systematic discussions on the relationship between logical empiricism and Austrian economics. Contributions that fruitfully inform contemporary debates in philosophy, methodology, politics, or the sciences are particularly welcome. *Deadline for Submissions: 31.10.2024* Notification: 30.11.2024 *Workshop I in Vienna: 12.02.-14.02.2025* Save the date for workshop II in Linz: 23.09.-25.09.2025 *You find more information and the abstract submission form here: * https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5Mg7ThW9ufbzUkJcEk7ZodNnraJ7PuiZ… *Scientific Committee: *Alexander Linsbichler, Julian Reiss, Georg Schiemer, Friedrich Stadler *Queries:* Alexander Linsbichler (alexander.linsbichler(a)jku.at) *Alexander Linsbichler* Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method (Johannes Kepler University Linz) alexander.linsbichler(a)jku.at Department of Philosophy ( <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=47545>University of Vienna) <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=47545> alexander.linsbichler(a)univie.ac.at *neu erschienen: Viel mehr <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…>als nur <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…>Ökonomie <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…> (Böhlau, 2022)*
