Masterkolloqium EST mit unorthodoxen Anmeldebedingungen

by Anna Echterhölter

Liebe EST'ler:innen! Beste Grüße zum Semesterauftakt. Nächste Woche beginnt ein EST Masterkolloqium, zu dem man sich nicht anmelden konnte. Ist das unsere neue Politik? Nur Auserwählte werden zugelassen? Ganz im Gegenteil: Es handelt sich um eine technische Panne. In diesem Semester wird das Seminar ausnahmsweise nicht von der Philosophie angeboten, sondern von der Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Zu der technischen Panne kam es, da ich als Mitinitiatorin des Studiengangs EST an einer anderen Fakultät angestellt bin, wo ich am IfG die Professur für Wissenschaftsgeschichte seit 2018 inne habe und wo wir mit den drei neuen TT Professuren Güttler, Felten und Nemec inzwischen ein sehr gutes Spektrum anbieten können. Natürlich könnten wir das Masterkollquium unter diesen unorthodoxen Umständen einfach ausfallen lassen. Vielleicht aber gibt es doch Personen unter Ihnen, die den Kurs dringend benötigen und/oder unverbindlich gerne einmal ein Masterthema ausprobieren möchten? Falls sich mindestens 5 Personen finden, die sich bis nächsten Montag, 10.3. bei mir schriftlich melden, dann können wir sehr gerne stattfinden. Die SPL 18 trägt Sie dann händisch in den Kurs ein und Sie können sich auch wie gehabt bis Ende März selbst wieder abmelden. Das Modell des Kurses (pre-circulated papers) beruht nicht auf der Vorstellung von Exposés und großen Plänen in Vorträgen. Wir versuchen das Seminar direkt mit Ihrer eigentlichen Masterarbeit zu verknüpfen. Der Ablauf sieht zwei Möglichkeiten der Teilnahme vor: 1) Sie lassen ein Kapitel Ihrer entstehenden Masterarbeit vorab unter den Teilnehmenden zirkulieren und wir lesen und kommentieren Ihre Arbeit gemeinsam 2) diejenigen, die noch am Anfang stehen, zirkulieren eine zentrale Quelle/oder einen entscheidenden Theorietext und werten diese/diesen in ca. 5 Seiten aus, wir lesen und kommentieren alle gemeinsam Der Kurs kann unabhängig von zukünftigen Betreuer:innen belegt werden, wir laden auch gerne bereits bestehende Betreuer:innen, Expert:innen oder Komiliton:innen zu "Ihrer" Sitzung dazu, falls Sie das möchten. Texte können auf Deutsch oder Englisch vorgestellt werden. Gibt es denn Bedarf? Bitte teilen Sie mir auch mit, falls Sie die ECTS dringend in diesem Semester benötigen. Ein erstes Treffen wäre: Di 11.03. 18:30-20:00Hörsaal 2G, NIG Universitätsstraße 7/Stg. II/2.Stock, 1010 Wien <https://uspace.univie.ac.at/web/gast/rauminfo/raumdetails/-/raumdetails/115…> https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/course.html?lv=180173&semester=2025S Mit bestem Gruß Anna Echterhölter https://fsp-wissenschaftsgeschichte.univie.ac.at/ P.S. Falls Sie Fragen zum Modul 4 haben, wo wir in letzter Zeit hervorragende Studienprojekte bekommen haben: Derzeit bin ich Modulbeauftragte und berate Sie gerne.

IVC Talk: Sebastian G. Speitel (IVC Fellow) on "Mathematical Determinacy", March 6, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Sebastian G. Speitel (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on March 6, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Sebastian G. Speitel (IVC Fellow) Mathematical Determinacy Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 06/03/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3A Abstract: The existence of non-standard models of important mathematical theories, such as first-order Peano-Arithmetic, threatens to undermine the claim of the moderate mathematical realist that non-mysterious access to mathematical structures is possible on the basis of our best mathematical theories. The move to frameworks stronger than FOL to articulate ‘better’ versions of these theories is denied to the moderate realist on the grounds that it merely shifts the indeterminacy ‘one level up’ into the meta-theory by — illegitimately, — assuming determinacy of the notions needed to formulate such logics. In this talk I want to outline the beginnings of a response to the determinacy challenge facing the moderate mathematical realist. I argue that the unique determinability of notions that enable categorical characterizations of important mathematical structures provides grounds for claiming naturalistically acceptable access to these structures, sufficient to resolve the determinacy challenge. I will illustrate the idea by showing how the mathematical realist may achieve arithmetical determinacy, and discuss ways to extend this approach to richer mathematical theories.

Invitation: Trans*formations talk by Emelia Stanley, 11.3.2025

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, I am delighted to invite you all to the fourth installment of the Trans*formations talk series at the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna. The talk series provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. The next talk, "On the Cass Review: A Philosophy of Science Perspective" will be given by Emelia Stanley, University of Vienna, on March 11, 2025, at 16:30 in HS 2 (NIG). Abstract: The Cass Review was a report commissioned by NHS England in 2020 to recommend new practice guidelines in transgender healthcare for children and adolescents, as well as to document problems with the existing gender identity services. Following its release last year, it was cited by both major political parties to justify the wholesale closure of the services, a halt and then ban on the prescription of puberty blockers to under 18s, and the suspension of a pending law to outlaw conversion-therapy. A valuable case study as a piece of scientific research and communication, this presentation examines the scientific Cass Review from a philosophy of science perspective, evaluating its conclusions and methodology with respect to notions of evidential norms, standpoint epistemology, prejudicial attitudes, and the current paradigm for trans* healthcare. Bio: Emelia Stanley is a Philosophy PhD candidate at the University of Vienna. She is pursuing a thesis in the philosophy of logic and mathematics, but writes independently about trans* issues in the UK and abroad from a personal and philosophical perspective. There will be drinks and snacks kindly provided by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (VDP)! When: March 11, 2025 - 16:30 to 18:15 Where: Lecture Hall 2H, NIG (2nd floor, Neues Institutsgebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien) AND ONLINE: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69476786960?pwd=vNGjtMMTQUZWo6bUGJumapbQRssHH8.1 On The Cass Review (Trans*Formations Series) Mar 11, 2025 04:30 PM Vienna Meeting ID 694 7678 6960 SecuritycheckedPasscode 98279 Attached, you find a poster for the event. Happy if this invitation is forwarded to all who could be interested, and the poster disseminated widely! Looking forward to seeing many of you at the talk! Best, Flora Löffelmann -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!
