IVC Talk: Andreas Frenzel on "Conceptual Pluralism and Formal Philosophy", October 17, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Andreas Frenzel, who will give a talk on October 17, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Andreas Frenzel Conceptual Pluralism and Formal Philosophy Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 17/10/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: In this talk, I will explain the significance of conceptual pluralism for formal philosophy, arguing that this position can serve as a desirable paradigm. I will first show that conceptual pluralism is a reasonable position to take, given that it is often underdetermined which formalization best captures an ordinary concept. Afterwards, I will argue that it is important for formal philosophy to block out the intuitions associated with ordinary concepts. One of the hallmarks of formal philosophy is the formalization of philosophical concepts. Conceptual pluralism is the view that there are often multiple equally admissible formalizations of a concept. If this is the case, one needs to use further criteria, perhaps based on practical considerations, to determine which formalization to choose. What counts as the "best" formalization has to be spelled out in terms of normative requirements that a formalization has to meet. These depend on the particular goals that are pursued and the purpose for which the concept in question is intended. Formalizations thus have to be assessed based on their properties which make them more or less useful. Some ordinary concepts exhibit vagueness or open texture, which adds to the difficulty of giving a clear and precise definition for them. Formalizations often possess a degree of precision that is simply not present in ordinary concepts, which is why none of the formalizations are uniquely correct. They each differ from the ordinary concept in some way, capturing different aspects of it. For this reason, there are often multiple admissible formalizations. Issues like open texture arise from the mismatch between our intuitive expectation of how a formalization will capture an ordinary concept and the way that a formalization actually captures it. If the intuitive expectation is "blocked out", so to speak, it can be seen that the formal concept in itself is unproblematic and useful, even if it does not exactly capture the ordinary concept. For this reason, I will argue that it is preferable for formal philosophy to use stipulative rather than descriptive definitions. A stipulative definition does not aim to capture some preexisting concept accurately. Instead, the conditions of application that it contains are themselves definitive for how the concept ought to be understood and used.

We will cover structural revisions (paragraphs, connecting paragraphs, argumentation structure), reading flow, style (personal/impersonal, vague/precise), positioning (critique of sources, confident position), and succinctness (concise phrasing to reduce word count). The workshop is tailored to PhD-Students, but master’s students are also welcome to join. To register, please send a short email to lisa.tragbar(a)univie.ac.at, indicating whether you would like to join online or in person. The zoom link will be sent out about an hour in advance.

Phänomenologische Forschungen – 24.10.2024 – Jakub Capek: Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung und Perspektivenwechsel (mit Merleau-Ponty)

by Gerhard Unterthurner

Liebe Kolleg_innen, wir möchten Sie herzlich zur nächsten Veranstaltung der Vortragsreihe „Phänomenologische Forschungen“ einladen: VORTRAG 24.10.2024, 18.30–20.00 Uhr, Hörsaal 3D, Institut für Philosophie, Universitätsstraße 7, A-1010 Wien Jakub Capek (Prag): „Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung und Perspektivenwechsel (mit Merleau-Ponty)“ _Abstract: _ „Es ist eine Frage der Perspektive.“ Dieser Satz kann in einer Vielzahl von Situationen vorkommen. In der Lebensberatung kann er eine Ermutigung sein, die Sichtweise auf das eigene Leben zu ändern. In einer politischen Auseinandersetzung ist er eine Mahnung an den Gegner, dass seine Annahmen nicht selbstverständlich sind und sicher nicht von allen geteilt werden. Bei der Begegnung mit einer anderen Kultur ist es eine Erinnerung an die Relativität unserer eigenen Urteile. Wenn man in der Philosophie versucht, diese Erfahrungen der Perspektivität zu verallgemeinern und den Perspektivismus zu verteidigen, stößt man auf verschiedene Arten von Einwänden. Spätestens seit Nietzsche wird dem Perspektivismus ein erkenntnistheoretischer Skeptizismus und ein ethischer Relativismus vorgeworfen. Außerdem stellt sich die Frage, ob der Perspektivist seine Position verteidigen kann (und ob er nicht einen Widerspruch ähnlich dem Paradox des Lügners begeht). In meiner Überlegung zur „Frage der Perspektive“ werde ich von einer Analyse der Wahrnehmung ausgehen und dabei auf Merleau-Ponty zurückgreifen. Wir nehmen Dinge und Ereignisse immer aus einem bestimmten Blickwinkel und vor einem bestimmten Hintergrund wahr, die jedoch verändert werden können. Die Perspektive ist – im Laufe unserer Erfahrung – nicht ihr Thema. Aber sie kann zu einem werden, etwa in den oben genannten Situationen. Die Frage ist also, wie man sich der eigenen Perspektive bewusst wird und welche Konsequenzen dies hat. Der Gegenstand meiner Überlegungen ist also der Unterschied zwischen der Perspektivität der Erfahrung und der Erfahrung der Perspektivität. Das letztere weist auf die Möglichkeit eines Perspektivenwechsels. Mit besten Grüßen, Michael Staudigl, Gerhard Unterthurner https://phaenomenologie.univie.ac.at/forschung/vorlesungsreihe-phaenomenolo…

Conference "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles"

by Ralf Gisinger

Dear Colleagues, We'd like to cordially invite you to our upcoming conference at the Department of Philosophy: Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles University of Vienna 18-19 October 2024 The international symposium "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles" aims to explore the tense relationship between Foucault and Marx and, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Foucault's death in 2024, to put it into perspective with regard to Foucault's intellectual legacy. Foucault is generally perceived as a harsh critic of Marxism, both in terms of its analytical possibilities and political dangers. This contrasts strongly not only with Foucault's repeated emphasis on the centrality of Marx, but also with clear theoretical parallels. The subject of the symposium is therefore the question of how this ambivalence is to be understood, what it means for possible continuations of the Foucauldian project and to what extent the Foucault-Marx connection can be made fruitful for current and future questions. No pre-registration, no fees.
