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 program committee particularly encourages submissions on philosophical themes that cross time periods. The conference language is English. The conference will take place directly after "Paul Feyerabend and Austrian Philosophy: His Formative Years in Postwar Vienna," an international conference also to be held at the University of Vienna, July 5-6, 2024. Guidelines for Submissions: HOPOS 2024 accepts two types of submissions: contributed papers and symposia, which are topical collections of 3-4 papers intended to be presented in a single session. To submit a proposal, contributors will need to create and account on the HOPOS 2024 website. Proposals for contributed papers and symposia should be prepared for anonymous review.
