Fwd: Mit der Bitte um Aushang und Verbreitung: Einladung zum 11. Kongress der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie

by Philosophie

-------- Originalnachricht -------- Betreff: Mit der Bitte um Aushang und Verbreitung: Einladung zum 11. Kongress der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie Datum: 18.07.2024 20:54 Von: Laurin Mackowitz <laurin.mackowitz(a)uni-graz.at> An: <info(a)oegp.org> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir möchten Sie auf die Verlängerung der deadline für den Call for Papers für den 11. Kongress der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie "Zukunft denken" hinweisen. Der Kongress wird vom 25. bis 28. Februar 2025 an der Universität Graz stattfinden. Die neue deadline ist der 31. August 2024. Wir bitten, den Call an Ihrem Institut zu verbreiten und insbesondere auch Doktorand*innen und Nachwuchswissenschafter*innen zu einer Einreichung zu ermuntern. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Daniela Camhy (Präsidentin der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie) Laurin Mackowitz (Generalsekretär der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie) ***** English version below ***** CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: 11. KONGRESS DER ÖSTERREICHISCHEN GESELLSCHAFT FÜR PHILOSOPHIE _ZUKUNFT DENKEN_ 25. BIS 28. FEBRUAR 2025 UNIVERSITÄT GRAZ Der 11. Kongress der Österreichische Gesellschaft für Philosophie vom 25. bis 28. Februar 2025 in Graz widmet sich dem thematischen Schwerpunkt „Zukunft denken“. In der Philosophie wird nicht nur nach-, sondern auch mit- und vorgedacht, und zwar im Grundlegenden. Wie sich Zukunft denken lässt, beschäftigt jedoch nicht nur die Philosophie, sondern Gesellschaften und Menschen allgemein, heute mehr denn je und das auf globaler Ebene. Die Zukunft birgt Chancen und Risiken. Wissenschaften, Künste, Unternehmen und Alltagskulturen imaginieren Möglichkeiten, simulieren Szenarien, versuchen sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch über Konsequenzen nachzudenken und Beziehungen zwischen Bildungs-, Wissens- und Gesellschaftsentwicklung kritisch zu betrachten und neue Konzeptionen zu erarbeiten. Die Philosophie kann nicht beantworten, welche Zukunft die Menschheit erwartet, aber sie kann ihren Beitrag zu Fragen leisten wie: Wie unterscheiden wir Zukunft von der Gegenwart und diese von der Vergangenheit? Was heißt es für die menschliche Lebensweise in der Zeit zu existieren? Wie weit reicht der Gestaltungsbereich von Menschen? Worin gründet der Wunsch, durch technische Entwicklungen der Vergänglichkeit zu entrinnen? Welchen Einfluss haben Technologien auf das menschliche Selbstverständnis, auf die Arbeit und das Leben? Welches Denken kann dazu beitragen, die Herausforderungen des Klimawandels, der Globalisierung, der Digitalisierung, der Künstlichen Intelligenz und der militärischen Auseinandersetzungen zu bewältigen? Wie kann Bildung neu gedacht werden? Welche Verantwortung haben heute lebende Menschen gegenüber zukünftigen Generationen? Wie viel Philosophie steckt in Science-Fiction? Welche Bedeutung kann die Philosophie auch in Zukunft haben, nicht zuletzt an Bildungseinrichtungen und Universitäten? In diesem Kontext eröffnet der 11. Kongress der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie ein mehrtägiges Forum, wo gemeinsam Zukunft gedacht wird. Allgemeine Sektionen: • Metaphysik und Ontologie • Ethik • Politische Philosophie • Sozial- und Rechtsphilosophie • Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorie • Logik und Sprachphilosophie • Technikphilosophie und Anthropologie • Ästhetik, Kultur- und Geschichtsphilosophie • Geschichte der Philosophie • Religionsphilosophie • Kinder- und Jugendphilosophie • Didaktik der Philosophie und Ethik • Philosophie des Geistes Abstracts und Titelvorschläge: Bitte senden Sie Ihr Abstract in Deutsch oder Englisch inklusive Vortragstitel und Sektionszuordnung (max. 300 Wörter) sowie eine Kurzbiographie (max. 200 Wörter) und fünf Keywords bis 31. August 2024 an: info(a)oegp.org Eine Rückmeldung über Ihr eingereichtes Abstract erhalten Sie bis Anfang November 2024. Länge der Vorträge: max. 30 Minuten (plus 10 Minuten Diskussion) Kongresssprachen: Deutsch, Englisch Der 28. Februar 2025 ist für Workshops und Panels reserviert. Vorschläge sind ausdrücklich willkommen.

It is dedicated to the thematic focus „Thinking the Future“. Philosophy not only involves abstract thought, but also the act of envisioning and anticipating what lies ahead at a fundamental level. However, contemplating the future concerns not only philosophy but also societies and people in general – today more than ever and on a global level. The future holds opportunities and risks. Sciences, the arts, businesses and everyday cultures imagine possibilities and simulate scenarios. They try to think both theoretically and empirically about the consequences and the relationships between the development of education, knowledge and society. Philosophy cannot answer what future awaits humanity, but it can contribute to questions such as: How do we distinguish the future from the present and the present from the past? What are the consequences for life to exist in time? How far can humans extend their scope of influence and domination? What underlies the desire to escape mortality through technological developments? What influence do technologies have on human self-understanding, on work and life? What ways of thinking can help in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, globalization, digitalization, artificial intelligence and military conflicts? How can education be rethought and what options for shaping the future should be developed? What responsibilities and obligations do people living today have towards future generations? What is the relation between philosophy and science fiction? What will be the role of philosophy in the future, in particular at educational institutions and universities? In this context, the 11th Congress of the Austrian Society for Philosophy opens a forum for thinking together about the future. General sections: • Metaphysics and ontology • Ethics • Political philosophy • Social and legal philosophy • Epistemology and philosophy of science • Logic and philosophy of language • Philosophy of technology and anthropology • Aesthetics, philosophy of culture and history • History of philosophy • Philosophy of religion • Philosophy for/with children and youth • Didactics of philosophy and ethics • Philosophy of mind Abstracts and title suggestions: Please send your abstract in German or English including the paper title and section assignment (max. 300 words) as well as a short biography (max. 200 words) and five keywords by August 31st, 2024 to: info(a)oegp.org Feedback on your submitted abstract will be provided by the beginning of November 2024. Length of the presentations: max. 30 minutes (plus 10 minutes discussion) Congress languages: German, English February 28th, 2025 is reserved for workshops and panels.

To read more about the programme and eligibility requirements, please visit the link:*IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme | IAEA <https://www.iaea.org/about/overview/gender-at-the-iaea/iaea-marie-sklodowsk…> and Information for applicants | IAEA <https://www.iaea.org/about/overview/gender-at-the-iaea/iaea-marie-sklodowsk…>. The IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) was launched in 2020 by the IAEA Director General to increase the number of women in the nuclear field, supporting an inclusive workforce of men and women who contribute to and drive global scientific and technological innovation. The programme aims to inspire and encourage women to pursue a career in the nuclear related field, by providing highly motivated female students with scholarships for master’s programmes and an opportunity to pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA. Scholarships are awarded annually. In the selection of students, consideration is given to geographic and field of study diversity, in addition to eligibility requirements and other criteria. The selected students are awarded up to €20,000 for tuition costs and up to €20,000 for living costs for their master’s programme (the amount will vary depending on the duration of the programme, costs associated with tuition as well as location of the studies). Upon completion of their studies, students who pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA, in line with their specialization in the nuclear field, are also provided with a stipend for up to 12 months. The internships may take place at the IAEA or in nuclear organizations in the public or private sector. Additionally, students are provided with opportunities to attend and participate in various educational, professional, and networking events.

Reminder: International Conference: Feyerabend and Austrian Philosophy - His Formative Years in Postwar Vienna | July 5-6

by Zarah Weiss

INVITATION Paul Feyerabend and Austrian Philosophy - His Formative Years in Postwar Vienna International Conference - July 5-6, 2024 University of Vienna, Aula at Campus, Court 1, Entrance 1.11 <https://www.pkfcentennial.org/> https://www.pkfcentennial.org/ Paul K. Feyerabend (1924-1994), one of the most stimulating and controversial figures of Twentieth-Century philosophy, spent most of his formative years in postwar Vienna (1946-1955). Born in Red Vienna, Feyerabend came of age at the time of the Nazi Anschluss and completed his philosophical apprenticeship at the University of Vienna during the Allied occupation. At the time of his university studies in philosophy and physics, Feyerabend animated the so-called Third Vienna Circle (1949-1953) around Viktor Kraft in the context of the Austrian College Society, and actively participated in the European Forum Alpbach and in the Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst. In addition, he served as a research assistant to Arthur Pap, who spent 1953/54 as a Fulbright visiting professor at the University of Vienna. The international conference Paul Feyerabend and Austrian Philosophy aims at exploring the milieu which shaped Feyerabends intellectual development with a focus on his interaction with university teachers and intellectual figures such as members of the former Vienna Circle like Viktor Kraft, Philipp Frank, Herbert Feigl, and Rudolf Carnap, physicists like Felix Ehrenhaft and Walter Thirring, as well as with Walter Hollitscher and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Contacts continued throughout the 1950s and 1960s at the London School of Economics with Karl Popper and, later, with Imre Lakatos, and in Minneapolis, at Feigls Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science, where Feyerabend published his pathbreaking Against Method for the first time in 1970. A special symposium on the publication of Feyerabends Formative Years, edited by Matteo Collodel and Eric Oberheim (Springer Nature, two volumes) will be held as part of this conference. The conference is organized by the Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna) and by the Vienna Circle Society. It is partnered with the subsequent HOPOS 2024, the Fifteenth International Congress of the International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science, University of Vienna, July 8-12, 2024, and it contributes to the Feyerabend 2024 Centennial celebrations.

IVC Talk: Aleksandra Knežević (IVC Fellow) on "A framework for the feminist anthropology of science", June 27, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Aleksandra Knežević (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on June 27, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM TALK: ALEKSANDRA KNEŽEVIĆ A FRAMEWORK FOR THE FEMINIST ANTHROPOLOGY OF SCIENCE Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 27/06/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3F ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will unpack different facets of the question of what it means to do anthropology of science as a feminist. In the first part, I will examine the tradition of feminist philosophers of science discussing the possibility of feminist science. Then, I will discuss what a critical scientific perspective_ _entails in anthropology. Finally, I will integrate these two bodies of knowledge to explore what a feminist anthropology of science could mean in terms of its scientific practice. In the second part, I will focus on a related issue, which I call _the problem of normativity_ - the claim that science loses its crucial feature, objectivity, when influenced by feminism (or any other worldview). Despite well-established knowledge in feminist philosophy of science and 'values in science' discussions, which offer resolutions to this problem, I contend that confusion persists about what a critical perspective, such as a feminist one, implies for scientific reasoning and research aims. I will argue that the problem of normativity involves two aspects, which are often confused: first, whether values play a role in the context of justification, and second, whether a critical social scientist, in order to be critical, must go beyond description. I will address both issues by relying on mainstream claims from contemporary philosophy of science and will draw conclusions from this discussion for theorizing a feminist anthropology of science.
