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

Kurs: Geschlechtervielfalt in der Lehre Wie kann ich ihr den ihr gebührenden Raum geben?

by Flora Löffelmann

Guten Tag! Das Center for Teaching and Learning veranstaltet am Do., 28.09.2023, 10:00-13:00h folgenden Kurs: Geschlechtervielfalt in der Lehre Wie kann ich ihr den ihr gebührenden Raum geben? Trans, inter*, nichtbinär, divers, cis, Pronomenrunde, all gender toilet ... Nicht nur der Staat erkennt Geschlecht mittlerweile als vielfältig an, auch an Universitäten kommt das Thema immer öfter auf. Aber was ist Geschlecht bzw. Geschlechtervielfalt eigentlich? Was bedeuten Begriffe wie trans, cis, nichtbinär etc.? In welchen Geschlechternormen bewege ich mich selber? Wie kann ich trans_inter*nichtbinären Personen in meiner Lehre respektvoll begegnen? Wie kann ich einen möglichst offenen, geschlechtervielfältigen Raum gestalten? In diesem Workshop haben wir 3 Stunden Zeit, uns mit dem Thema Geschlechtervielfalt in der Lehre aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu beschäftigen: Neben einer Einführung in zentrale Begriffe und Konzepte stehen die Selbstreflexion der eigenen Geschlechterbilder und vor allem konkrete Fragen aus Ihrem Arbeitsalltag im Mittelpunkt. Bringen Sie Ihre Fragen und Anliegen mit, damit wir sie gemeinsam diskutieren können! Alle Lehrende sind herzlich dazu eingeladen!

THE GEORG HENRIK VON WRIGHT,LECTURE 2023

by Institut für Philosophie

Prof. Friedrich Stadler (University of Vienna): “Georg Henrik von Wright and Austrian Philosophy – Personal and Intellectual Encounters with Family Resemblances” Kirkkokatu 6, 00170 Helsinki, October 20th 2023, 15.15-17.00 (3.15-5 pm). Live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLqQQsCi68E Georg Henrik von Wright acknowledged Eino Kaila and Ludwig Wittgenstein as pivotal to his philosophical growth, reflecting his deep engagement with Austrian philosophy from Mach to the Vienna Circle. His connection with Wittgenstein, both as successor and literary heir, strongly shaped his intellectual path. However, this should not overshadow his individual accomplishments in fields like induction, deontic logic, and ethics. His interactions with Austrian thinkers fit within the framework of “Austrian Philosophy,” which potentially would have led him to study under Viktor Kraft in Vienna instead of Cambridge if not for WWII. In this lecture von Wright’s intellectual journey from pre-war Vienna to the end of the 20th century will be illustrated, involving encounters with the Vienna Circle and the Wittgenstein community in Austria. At the end the question is raised whether Georg Henrik von Wright was a typical analytic philosopher. Professor Friedrich Stadler Friedrich Stadler is retired Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Vienna and is currently Permanent Fellow at the Institute Vienna Circle, which he founded and headed until 2018. He also acts as director of the Vienna Circle Society and as member of the Commission for History and Philosophy of Science at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He is the author of books on Ernst Mach and the Vienna Circle, editor and co-editor of a book series covering Logical Empiricism, history and philosophy of science, analytic philosophy, modern intellectual history and more. He has served as President of the European Philosophy of Science Association and of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society.
