Buchpräsentation "Das Auto und die ökologische Katastrophe" 20.03.2025 18h FB Philosophie und Psychologie

by Sonja Fiala

Liebe Institutsangehörige! Herzliche Einladung zur Buchpräsentation "Das Auto und die ökologische Katastrophe" am 20.03.2025 um 18h in der Fachbereichsbibliothek Philosophie und Psychologie. https://bibliothek.univie.ac.at/events/008224.html Zum Buch: Kaum etwas prägt die moderne Konsumgesellschaft so sehr wie das Automobil - Grund genug, unsere toxische Liebesbeziehung zu ihm zu analysieren und Auswege aus der planetaren Autodestruktion aufzuzeigen. Jenseits von Klimabilanzen und moralischen Vorwürfen unternimmt Kilian Jörg eine letzte Spritztour durch einbetonierte Vorstellungen von »Freiheit«, »Normalität«, »Vernunft« und »Natur«, die den Ökozid als alternativlos erscheinen lassen. Mithilfe von Beyoncé, Lynch und Le Guin begibt er*sie sich auf eine Achterbahnfahrt durch Popkultur, faschistische Männlichkeit, Erdöl, Nationalparks, aktivistische Landbesetzungen und die Tugenden der Autofetischist*innen, um zu einer Utopie autofreier Welten aufzurufen. Liebe Grüße Sonja Fiala Die Buchpräsentation wird von ausgewählten Bildern der Fotoausstellung "Diverting the Public Space" begleitet. Details zur Ausstellung: Kilian Jörg - Diverting the Public Space<https://www.kilianj.org/diverting-the-public-space> [cid:image003.png@01DB72F9.62DEBFB0] Alle Informationen zu den bisherigen Veranstaltungen inkl.

Reminder - Submissions Open for VDP Summer School 2025 The Philosophy of Iris Murdoch - Deadline 30.03.2025

by Mariia Fedorova

Dear colleagues, We would like to remind you that submissions for the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy Summer School 2025, The Philosophy of Iris Murdoch, are still open. The details can be found below and on the summer school webpage: https://pace.phl.univie.ac.at/the-philosophy-of-iris-murdoch/. Instructors: Justin Broackes (Brown), Cathy Mason (CEU), Silvia Caprioglio Panizza (UPCE/Tübingen), Rachael Wiseman (Liverpool) Dates: July 14th-18th, 2025 Deadline for application: March 30th, 2025 Location: Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätstrasse 7, 1010 Wien Overview of the Topic Although Iris Murdoch is still best known for her novels, her philosophical work is finally beginning to receive the recognition that it deserves. An Oxford philosopher, educated during the Second World War and later employed there as a lecturer, Murdoch’s philosophy marks a significant departure from the dominant analytic tradition of her place and time: a return to a philosophy deeply attuned to the human condition and to metaphysical thinking. Murdoch’s ideas began to develop with a critique of the prevailing approaches to language and thought, later evolving into a novel conception of ethics. Engaged with both analytic and continental traditions, she proposed vision as the basic category of evaluation and freedom as the ability to see the world rightly, rather than as detachment from it. As opposed to the amoral view of metaphysics, she sought to reanimate the concept of a world that finds meaning through “the Good”. She writes in dialogue with a diverse range of philosophers, including Plato, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, French existentialists, and Derrida, among others, and she has had a strong influence on some of today’s best-known philosophers, including Cora Diamond, John McDowell, Martha Nussbaum, and Charles Taylor. The summer school aims to bring together promising young philosophers with some of the leading experts on Murdoch’s philosophical work. Participants will have the chance to engage with her major themes, uncover less-explored aspects of her work, and contribute to the ongoing discussion of her ideas with their own research. Application & Fees We welcome applications from PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and advanced MA students in philosophy and related disciplines. To apply for participation, please send the following documents to Matt Dougherty (doughertym(a)ceu.edu): 1. Curriculum Vitae (max. 2 pages) 2. Statement of Purpose (no longer than 1 page), explaining the relevance of the summer school to your study, research, teaching and/or other professional work 3. Statement of Financial Aid (optional). We can offer partial financial support (including the coverage of the school fees) to the participants whose home institutions cannot cover their expenses. We therefore ask the applicants who wish to be considered for funding to briefly describe their situation in the statement. 4. Abstract (optional; max. 250 words). If you would like to present your work at the summer school, please send us a short abstract of your presentation. Since the number of slots for student presentations is limited, this will help us decide on how to allocate them. The summer school fee is 75 Euros. The fee includes the student union fee of 25 Euros, which is required by Austrian law to register at the University of Vienna and to receive a certificate of completion of the summer school. Please, submit your application by March 30, 23.59 CET. Contact Email: doughertym(a)ceu.edu We will notify you of the decision by April 7, 23.59 CET. Diversity Statement: We strongly encourage applications from members of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups. Organizing Committee Paulina Sliwa Matt Dougherty Sebastian Aster Maria Fedorova Bojin Zhu The VDP Summer School 2025 is funded by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (University of Vienna).

Reminder: Invitation to Trans*formations talk by Emelia Stanley, 11.3.2025

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, I am delighted to invite you all to the fourth installment of the Trans*formations talk series at the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna. The talk series provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. The next talk, "On the Cass Review: A Philosophy of Science Perspective" will be given by Emelia Stanley, University of Vienna, on March 11, 2025, at 16:30 in HS 2H (NIG, 2nd Floor). Abstract: The Cass Review was a report commissioned by NHS England in 2020 to recommend new practice guidelines in transgender healthcare for children and adolescents, as well as to document problems with the existing gender identity services. Following its release last year, it was cited by both major political parties to justify the wholesale closure of the services, a halt and then ban on the prescription of puberty blockers to under 18s, and the suspension of a pending law to outlaw conversion-therapy. A valuable case study as a piece of scientific research and communication, this presentation examines the scientific Cass Review from a philosophy of science perspective, evaluating its conclusions and methodology with respect to notions of evidential norms, standpoint epistemology, prejudicial attitudes, and the current paradigm for trans* healthcare. Bio: Emelia Stanley is a Philosophy PhD candidate at the University of Vienna. She is pursuing a thesis in the philosophy of logic and mathematics, but writes independently about trans* issues in the UK and abroad from a personal and philosophical perspective. There will be drinks and snacks kindly provided by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (VDP)! When: March 11, 2025 - 16:30 to 18:15 Where: Lecture Hall 2H, NIG (2nd floor, Neues Institutsgebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien) AND ONLINE: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69476786960?pwd=vNGjtMMTQUZWo6bUGJumapbQRssHH8.1 On The Cass Review (Trans*Formations Series) Mar 11, 2025 04:30 PM Vienna Meeting ID 694 7678 6960 SecuritycheckedPasscode 98279 Attached, you find a poster for the event. Happy if this invitation is forwarded to all who could be interested, and the poster disseminated widely! Looking forward to seeing many of you at the talk! Best, Flora Löffelmann -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!
