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

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!

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.
