APSE Talk - Stephanie Ifill - 12.10.23 - Knowledge as a turn towards the possibility of existence

by Sophie Juliane Veigl

Dear all, we cordially invite you to the upcoming talk of the APSE - lecture series, delivered by Stephanie Ifill (University of Westminster) Title: Knowledge as a turn towards the possibility of existence When/Where: 12.10., 15-17pm, HS 3A If you are interested in joining us for dinner/drinks afterwards, write an email to Manu Sharma (manu.sharma(a)univie.ac.at)! everyone welcome! Abstract: "I came to realise that to produce knowledge, I must enter into a framework where I am non-existent....I refused...There must be another possibility, another way of knowing." This talk brings forward the question: what is the possibility of epistemic non-existence? One of the possibilities I raise is that of the turn. The turn is not a seek of inclusion in; it's a turn, a break from. I turn in relation to Sylvia Wynter (to rupture) and Henri Bergson (to indetermination) to help articulate what I mean by epistemic turn. Upon awareness, there is the possibility to turn from, indeed with a cost, but a possibility none the less. This talk represents the culmination of deep thought brought out through relational conversations and a direct lived confrontation with epistemic non-existence; it's part of an ongoing experiment in the possibility of appearing in Europe as a *Black woman (outside of the cage). Kind regards, Sophie Veigl on behalf of the APSE-Unit -- Dr. Sophie Juliane Veigl, BSc., BA., MSc., MA.

APSE / IVC talk: Anjan Chakravartty: Thursday, July 6th, 3-5pm, 2G

by Martin Kusch

Dear All, The Institute Vienna Circle and the APSE group are jointly organizing a talk by ... Prof. Anjan Chakravartty (University of Miami) on "Humanism and the Aim of Science: Past, Present, Future" Time and Location: Thursday, July 6th, 3-5pm, NIG HS 2G Abstract: Humanism, conceived as a worldview, and science, conceived as a form (or family of forms) of inquiry into the world, have been entangled with one another across a long sweep of intellectual history. I consider their co-evolution as a prelude to the present, briefly reviewing formative aspects of Renaissance humanism and deepening associations of values central to the Enlightenment with precursors to modern science, en route to an arguably peculiar situation today. Where past conceptions of the aim of science (natural philosophy, etc.) seem intimately connected to the idea of fashioning a better world, contemporary philosophy seems largely devoid of normative discussions of what science itself is for, exactly. I conclude with some reflections on a possible return to a humanist conception of the role and promise of science. Everyone welcome! Best, Martin Kusch

The course will be held July 17th to July 28th, 2023 in Budapest, Hungary. The faculty includes Mark Balaguer (Cal State LA), Talia Bettcher (Cal State LA), Åsa Burman (Stockholm), Esa Díaz-León (Barcelona), Alex Grzankowski (Birkbeck), Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU), Michaela McSweeney (Boston), and Asya Passinsky (CEU). Course description: Philosophers are becoming increasingly interested in real-world problems and in how their discipline is relevant to these problems. The recent explosion of interest in social ontology is part of a movement in philosophy to come down out of the ivory tower and engage with issues that actually matter—issues concerning, e.g., race, gender, and social justice. This course will introduce students to ontology, and to social ontology in particular, by delving deeply into numerous important issues in the field.  Specific topics to be covered in the course include the following: social justice, social construction, groups, social structures, ideal vs. non-ideal social ontology, social power, essentialism as it relates to social groups and genders, metaphysical grounding in the social realm, issues pertaining to mental health and moral responsibility, social theories of art, rationality, and mental content, and issues in meta social ontology. We invite applications from graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in philosophy. A few places for advanced undergraduate students will also be available. The application deadline is February 14th, 2023. For more information and details on how to apply, please visit the course website [1].

It involves new, funded fellowships; new programming; a podcast; and conferences. TEFE, funded by Open Society Foundations, will host four fellows per term: one fellowship is forgraduate students <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…>, three forfaculty or non-academics. <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> /*Please also read on for exciting updates to our already established Visiting Fellows Program.*/ *Technology, the Environment, and the Future of Europe* Doctoral Fellows <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> will receive a fellowship stipend of $4750 per month, an office at the Remarque Institute, visiting scholar status to use NYU’s libraries, databases, facilities, and relevant university privileges. Doctoral students must be currently enrolled in a degree-granting program. Visiting Fellows <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> will receive a fellowship stipend of $4500 per month, a studio apartment at no cost (or a housing stipend), an office at the Remarque Institute, visiting scholar status to use NYU’s libraries, databases, facilities, and relevant university privileges. Applications from non-academics for the Visiting Fellowships are encouraged. The Remarque Institute is a vibrant intellectual space and the TEFE initiative aims to allow each semester’s cohort of scholars to work both alone and together, building on their distinctive disciplines and shared interests. Fellows are expected to be in residence throughout the semester; to participate in all relevant Remarque events; and to take part in and contribute to the community the Institute seeks to foster. We seek scholars of the highest caliber who embody the diversity of the United States as well as the global society in which we live. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the profession, across color, creed, race, ethnic and national origin, physical ability, gender, and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis. NYU affirms the value of differing perspectives on the world as we strive to build the strongest possible university with the widest reach. To learn more about our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, please read here: https://www.nyu.edu/faculty/faculty-diversity-and-inclusion.html <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> EOE/Affirmative Action/Minorities/Females/Vet/Disabled/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity More Information <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> *Remarque Visiting Fellowship Program* We also welcome applicants to our *Remarque Visiting Fellowship Program.* Remarque Visiting Fellowships <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…>, as always, come with apartments and travel and for the first time also come with a stipend for those who demonstrate need. These Fellowships are intended for scholars on sabbatical leave at their home institutions or with extramural funding or other outside support, though for the 2024-25 academic year, the Institute is able to provide a monthly stipend of $2,000 for junior scholars visiting without sabbatical or extramural funding of their own. All Fellows receive cost-free housing in an NYU studio apartment and round-trip travel to and from New York, and are provided with a private office and modest administrative support during their residency at the Institute. At NYU, Remarque visiting fellows have access to NYU library and other university resources and privileges. We are particularly interested in applications from individuals whose work will be significantly enabled by a period of residency at the Institute. Normally, fellowship applicants must have a PhD in hand at the time of the start date of their fellowship at the Remarque Institute. While our housing is intended for visiting scholars, we do offer a limited number of fellowships per semester to those currently residing in New York, which include office space, NYU affiliation, and some administrative support.
