by Martin Kusch

Dear All, The Philosophy Department of the Central European University, the Institute Vienna Circle and the Unit for Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology (of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Vienna) are jointly organizing a series of talks this term: https://wienerkreis.univie.ac.at/news-events/apse-ceu-ivc-talks-wintersemes… The next talk will be Thursday, October 20th, 12:30-2pm CEST. The talk will be online only. The speakers will be Rachel Ankeny and Audrey Henry (University of Adelaide). The title of the talk is: 'Evolving Models for Co-Production of Marine Science Knowledge in South Australia' (Abstract below) Online access (without registration): univienna.zoom.us/j/61475205762 You can also log into our meetings through the Zoom application (rather than by clicking the link above), by using the following credentials: Meeting-ID: 614 7520 5762 Password: 264065 No RSVP or registered accounts are required for online attention, it's enough to click on the link and enter your name. Chrome or Firefox browsers work best. Abstract: Australia presents a complex example of a locale where there is increasing awareness about the moral and legal requirements associated with benefit sharing and acknowledgment of traditional knowledge, particularly Indigenous knowledge sources. After a brief overview on the history and current status of Indigenous communities in Australia, we present a series of vignettes associated with marine research in South Australia where different types of engagement or collaborations have occurred between academic and governmental researchers and local Indigenous communities. We use these vignettes to problematise typical Western scientific methods of giving credit and including local and traditional knowledges as part of knowledge production methods in scientific research, and explore a broader range of options such as diverse forms of benefit sharing that in turn can support a more robust vision of what is epistemically and morally relevant in these domains. Everyone welcome! On behalf of the organizers, Martin Kusch --------------------------------------- Prof. Martin Kusch (he/they) Univ. of Vienna, Dpt. of Philosophy https://martinkusch.wixsite.com/website

Vortragseinladung_Krisenhafte Gegenwart

by Brigitta Keintzel

Liebe Kolleg:innen, die Forschungsplattform GAIN - Gender: Ambivalent In_Visibilities veranstaltet am 28. November eine GAIN Gender & Agency Lecture mit Gundula Ludwig. In diesem Rahmen findet auch die Verleihung der GAIN Gender & Agency Forschungspreise 2022 statt. Montag, 28.November 2022, ab 18:00 Uhr Dachgeschoss Juridicum Schottenbastei 10-16, 1010 Wien Verleihung der GAIN Gender & Agency Forschungspreise 2022 Die Preise ergehen für ihre Masterarbeiten an Caroline Gansdorfer, Malika Guellil und Charlotte Schinnerl, sowie für ihre Dissertationen an Hannah Reiter und Leda Sutlović. Mit Laudationes von Nikolaus Benke, Marlen Bidwell-Steiner, Elisabeth Holzleithner und Birgit Sauer. GAIN Gender & Agency Lecture mit Gundula Ludwig Krisenhafte Gegenwart und die In_Visibilität von Gewalt. Zeitdiagnosen aus der Perspektive feministischer Gesellschaftstheorie Bereits vor der COVID-19-Pandemie, der Gefahr eines atomaren Krieges und des ebenso realen Szenarios, dass einige Kipppunkte im Klimawandel überschritten werden, war die Gegenwart durch eine „multiple Krise“ gekennzeichnet. Zugleich verdichten sich aktuell in großer Geschwindigkeit die Krisen. Der Vortrag analysiert vier zentrale Krisendimensionen unserer Gegenwart aus der Perspektive feministischer Gesellschaftstheorie und interpretiert diese als Ausdruck einer in_visiblen Grundstruktur moderner Gesellschaften: der gewaltförmigen Strukturierung des Sozialen. Zugleich geht der Vortrag vergeschlechtlichten und rassifizierten Techniken der Invisibilisierung nach, die zur Verleugnung der grundlegenden Gewalt beitragen. Auf dieser Gegenwartsdiagnose aufbauend wird schließlich für eine Geschlechterforschung plädiert, die zur Überwindung der in_visibilisierten Gewaltstrukturen beitragen möchte. Gundula Ludwig ist Professorin für Sozialwissenschaftliche Theorien der Geschlechterverhältnisse an der Universität Innsbruck und Leiterin der Forschungsplattform Center Interdisziplinäre Geschlechterforschung Innsbruck. Zudem ist sie Mitherausgeberin der Femina Politica. Zeitschrift für feministische Politikwissenschaft. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind queer-feministische Staats-, Macht- und Demokratietheorien. Moderation: Birgit Sauer Die Veranstaltung auf Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/events/518607926803584> Bitte informieren Sie sich rechtzeitig vor Beginn der Veranstaltung über die aktuell gültigen Covid-19-Bestimmungen an der Universität Wien. Mit Ihrer Teilnahme stimmen Sie der Veröffentlichung und Speicherung von Fotos, die im Rahmen dieser Veranstaltung entstehen, zu.

24th Nov, The Tractatus Centenary Celebration, CEU Vienna

by Sigrid Preissl

Dear all This Thursday, November 24th, at 17:40, the CEU Department of Philosophy is hosting The Tractatus Centenary Celebration, organized by Hanoch Ben-Yami with talks by Peter Hacker, Martin Pilch, and Ilse Somavilla. The event will be held in room D-002 Tiered at our Vienna campus. Everybody is welcome! 24 November 17:40 The Tractatus Centenary Celebration<https://events.ceu.edu/2022-11-24/tractatus-centenary-celebration> In November 1922, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was first published in German with a parallel English translation, by Ramsey and Ogden. The book quickly became one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, reshaping thought on logic, language, and metaphysics, as well as affecting approaches in the philosophy of science, ethics, and even mysticism. Its impact spread to disciplines like Psychology and Linguistics, and, being also a remarkable literary achievement, the book has attracted the interest of artists and literary critics as well. To note the centenary of this Tractatus publication, the CEU Philosophy Department hosts an event which will include both a survey of the background and achievements of the Tractatus by the eminent Wittgenstein scholar, Peter Hacker; a talk on the logic of the Tractatus by Martin Pilch; and a talk on the book's ethics by Ilse Somavilla. Programme Hanoch Ben-Yami: Introduction Peter Hacker: Problem-Setting Background and Critical Achievements of the Tractatus Martin Pilch: Tractarian Logic and the Combinatorics of Elementary Propositions Ilse Somavilla: The Ethical Dimension of the Tractatus This will be a hybrid event.

Intercultural Philosophizing: Theory and Practice,Working Group of the Vienna Society for Intercultural Philosophy,Winter semester 2022/2023

by Institut für Philosophie

Intercultural Philosophizing: Theory and Practice Working Group of the Vienna Society for Intercultural Philosophy Winter semester 2022/2023 Encountering Madness. Intercultural and Decolonial Approaches to the Phenomenon of Mental Illness A cooperation between WIGIP, IWK and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vienna INVITATION ►30.11., 18.30 (6:30 pm CET), Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst (Berggasse 17, 1090 Vienna) · Lecture in English · please register under: office(a)wigip.org (the registration is not mandatory, but helpful for the organization) Dr. Susannah Deane (University of Bristol, UK): Mind, Body, Spirits: Tibetan Notions of the ‘Subtle Body’ and its Implications for the Causation and Treatment of Mental Illness Integral to Tibetan understandings of mind and body, and humans’ relation to the wider world, are two key concepts. Firstly, the notion of loong – ‘wind’ energy which circulates through the body as a key component of the ‘subtle body’ system – is fundamental to Tibetan understandings on mind-body structure and functioning, particularly in relation to the mind and consciousness. Secondly, the relationship between humans and the wide variety of spirits and deities seen to populate the landscape is important in understanding Tibetan notions of health and good fortune. Both are predicated on an understanding of a rather ‘porous’ boundary between the self and the outer world, and within this, Buddhism provides not only a way to manage these local spirits and deities, but also designs practices which utilise this subtle body system to manipulate the mind and body towards enlightenment. All of these factors become key when we explore Tibetan notions of mental health and illness. Where spirits and deities may be implicated in the causation of madness and other illnesses and misfortunes, they can also be controlled by skilled Buddhist practitioners, who may even utilise them in their Tantric practices in their pursuit of enlightenment. Equally, while the manipulation of bodily wind currents forms an integral part of Tantric practitioners’ Buddhist practices, unintended disruptions in their flow – including as a result of conducting such practices incorrectly – is seen to have implications for an individual’s mental health. This paper explores the diverse understandings of causation and treatment of ‘madness’ and other mental health difficulties which result from these Tibetan notions of mind, body, and spirits.
