December 3rd: Punsch, Glühwein and Planning!

by Initiative to Support Women in Academic Philosophy

Dear all, we want to invite you to come have a Punsch or Glühwein (mulled wine) together at the Christmas Market at Altes AKH! The goal is to update each other on what we have been up to, and to make some new plans for providing support to underrepresented groups in philosophy. Bring your best ideas, your warmest socks and maybe an extra pair of tights - it's supposed to be fairly cold that day! UPSalon are a group of BA, MA, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers; the initiative aims at creating a space and community in Vienna where underrepresented philosophers – such as women, trans*, inter and non-binary persons, BIPoC, socioeconomically disadvantaged people, queer people, and people with disabilities – can connect on a regular basis. For more information, check out our website: upsalon.univie.ac.at People from all stages in their philosophical studies are welcome, and we are especially excited to meet new people! We will meet on Tuesday, 3rd of December, at 18:30 in front of NIG and then walk to the Christmas Market together. We are very much looking forward to meeting all of you, and to reconnect with those who already joined for the last regular's table :) Do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have. Best regards, UPsalon Mail: upsalon.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at Web: https://upsalon.univie.ac.at

This workshop aims at "collectivizing" these experiences and to provide knowledge & tools for those who aim at diversifying their syllabi for the SS25. When: 11.12.2024 10:00-13:00 Where: HS3A The workshop will build on sharing experiences, ressources and "how to"s but also sets aside enough time for participants to work on their syllabi: 10:00 - 11:00 Introduction, Sharing Sources, Strategies and Experiences 11:00 - 12:30 Workshopping - Time to work on individual Syllabi for SS25 12:30 - 13:00 Closing Reflections, Feedback, Input If you are interested in attending, please sign up via email: sophie.juliane.veigl(a)univie.ac.at Everyone is welcome!

IVC Talk: Matteo Collodel (IVC Fellow) "Criticism, Misrepresentation, and Decline: Feyerabend and Logical Empiricism", November 21, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Matteo Collodel (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on November 21, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Matteo Collodel (IVC Fellow) CRITICISM, MISREPRESENTATION, AND DECLINE: FEYERABEND AND LOGICAL EMPIRICISM Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 21/11/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G ABSTRACT: Feyerabend became familiar with the Vienna Circle tradition and Logical Empiricism in his formative years in post-war Vienna. However, since his early intellectual trajectory, he made LE one of his favorite critical targets, articulating his criticism in personal dialogue with some of its most distinguished representatives. This paper focuses on the second stage of Feyerabend's sustained assault against LE, examining both Feyerabend's reception of LE and Hempel's response to Feyerabend's challenge. In a series of papers published between 1962 and 1966, Feyerabend relentlessly questioned the descriptive adequacy and the normative desirability of the 'orthodox', logical empiricist, accounts of reduction and explanation advanced by Hempel and Nagel. Feyerabend's persistent criticism shook North American philosophy of science and prompted Hempel's reaction, which appeared in print in the second half of the 1960s. Initially, Hempel retorted that Feyerabend's methodological analysis was 'completely mistaken' and Feyerabend could offer 'no support' for his allegations. This raises interesting historiographical questions about the later reception of LE as it seems that Feyerabend, driven by his anti-authoritarian stance, substantially misinterpreted the logical empiricist research programme, his vantage point notwithstanding. On the other hand, Hempel also recognised that the descriptive issues on which Feyerabend insisted, despite having been long acknowledged by LE, could have more far-reaching consequences than previously envisaged. In fact, by the end of the 1960s, Hempel came to make quite radical concessions, admitting that the standard logical empiricist model for explicating the structure of scientific theories was essentially 'misleading', that the logical empiricist account of reduction was 'an untenable oversimplification', and that the logical empiricist approach as to the meaning of scientific terms was actually 'misconceived'. In this respect, there are good reasons to consider the decline of the logical empiricist research programme in the 1970s at least partly as the result of Feyerabend's stimulating, however misrepresenting, insights.
