Register now: SOCRATES Workshop "Practices of Storytelling and Indigenous Epistemologies", 3 May 2024

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear colleagues, We cordially invite you to our SOCRATES Workshop on "Practices of Storytelling and Indigenous Epistemologies" - registration is now open! *PRACTICES OF STORYTELLING AND INDIGENOUS EPISTEMOLOGIES International Workshop Institute of Philosophy, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany 3 May 2024* *Register now! (Deadline: 3 April 2024 23:59 CEST) <https://www.socrates.uni-hannover.de/en/news-events/upcoming-events/events-…>* Practices of storytelling are vital to the creation and transformation of Indigenous concepts and ideas, and vital to understanding and enabling Indigenous forms of philosophical inquiry. Oral narratives, weaving, carving, and other artforms such as, for instance, architecture, song, and dance both contain and enable philosophical inquiry. What is more, creative artforms remain sites of struggle, resistance, and reclaiming of Indigenous philosophies for many Indigenous communities around the world – holding space for traditional and contemporary ideas to be reimagined and renewed. In this workshop, we explore the role of storytelling (broadly understood) in Indigenous knowledge. We also ask what the academic discipline of philosophy (and the philosophers therein) might gain from better understanding these practices. To that end, we ask questions such as: What is the function of storytelling in Indigenous knowledge? Do practices of storytelling necessarily clash with other (more dominant) knowledge practices? What would it take to reconcile the deep differences between them fairly? What would it take for the academic discipline to include (and enable) diverse methods of inquiry (such as storytelling)? What limits, if any, are there to how non-indigenous philosophers use Indigenous knowledge-making practices such as stories in their work? And, what ethical and trust-based issues arise at the intersections of Indigenous storytelling and mainstream scientific practice? The workshop includes talks by invited speakers Inkeri Koskinen (University of Helsinki), Yolanda Lopez-Maldonado (Indigenous Science), David Ludwig (Wageningen University), Adriana Moreno Cely (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), and Krushil Watene (University of Auckland). There is no participation fee. If you have any questions, please contact the workshop organiser Dr. T.Y.

Guest Lectures from The Centre for Ethics, Pardubice - 20.03.24 - 18:30-20:30 - HS 3A, NiG

by VD Philosophy

Dear all, We cordially invite you to join two talks on moral philosophy by scholars from The Centre for Ethics at University of Pardubice. 1) Silvia Caprioglio Panizza (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow): What's Your Moral Impossibility? Abstract: Our moral agency is typically defined by what we do, what we think, what we will. I argue that equally important is the ‘dark’ side of choice, thought, and imagination – specifically, what we do not take as a possibility. I call this domain ‘moral impossibility’. In this talk I show how moral impossibility (often silently) delimits and defines our option ranges, our moral character, and our sense of value. Putting these three consequences together, I suggest an application of moral impossibility to the explanation of deep disagreement, understood as situations when one party demands what is not just wrong, but morally impossible (here in the form of ‘unthinkability’) for the other, and vice versa. If we interpret deep disagreement this way, what changes? 2) Niklas Forsberg (Head of Research): Our(?) Concept of Food Abstract: One of the more difficult sentences of Cora Diamond’s seminal paper “Eating Meat, Eating People” is: “it is not 'morally wrong' to eat our pets; people who ate their pets would not have pets in the same sense of that term.” There are a number in ways in which this phrase may seem challenging. One is that it ties the sense of moral value to our concepts. If people ate their pets they would have a different concept of “pet,” and because of that conceptual difference, we would not be able to simply state that they are morally wrong. This marks out conceptual differences as playing a pivotal role in marking out moral differences. Deep moral disagreements are often rooted in conceptual divergencies. It may, however, now look like morality itself is losing its foundation. Change your concepts, and you get a new morality! In my talk, I will try to show why that is a distorted understanding of the kind of point that Diamond is making. So, I will try to show why it may actually be helpful to think about moral differences as conceptual differences. In order to see why the way of thinking that Diamond here illustrates is not a flat-out relativistic doctrine, one needs to, as Iris Murdoch (one of Diamond’s sources of philosophical inspiration) revise our concept of a concept, and perhaps also our conception of what it means to have a moral belief. There is, though, no simple route (that I can find) to clarity about these matters, so the first part of the talk will include placing a number of philosophical views and problems on the table (about moral beliefs and argumentation, human agency and responsibility, and features of the asymmetry that can be discerned between views that are reached by means of directed reasoning and views that are “merely” inherited. Snacks and drinks will be provided! Both talks will be in English. If you have any questions, please contact either Konstantin Deininger (konstantin.deininger(a)univie.ac.at) or Erich Linder (erich.linder(a)vetmeduni.ac.at).

WIP Series 21.03.2024 - Thursday, HS 3A, NiG - "Katharsis: On the Platonic Adaptation of an Orphic Idea" by Hermann Crüwell

by VD Philosophy

Dear all, This is an email to remind you that the next presentation in the Work-In-Progress series will be given by Hermann Crüwell (Ernst-Mach Postdoc, University of Vienna; Ph.D., University of Oxford)) this coming Thursday. The presentation is entitled "Katharsis: On the Platonic Adaptation of an Orphic Idea" Abstract: At the time when Plato wrote his dialogues, many people sought meaning and salvation in Orphic mystery cults. In short, Orphism taught that the soul was once in a state of primordial blessedness in the company of the gods. Because of an original sin, it fell away from this state and is now trapped in circles of reincarnation in human bodies. Only initiation into the Orphic mysteries and purification from its current impure condition can help the practitioner to be released from this circle, restore itself in its original condition and attain eternal bliss in the company of the gods once again. Plato was critical of these cults, which often demanded fees in exchange for salvation by purifying rituals and initiation into the mysteries (cf. Republic 364b–c). At the same time, he took on central concepts and narratives from the Orphics to give expression to his own philosophical outlook on the soul, its fate, and its quest for self-perfection. Focusing on the Phaedo and its concept of katharsis (purification), I explore how Plato transforms an Orphic idea to conceptualize the soul's cognitive progress towards wisdom and virtue of character by means of philosophy. The meeting will take place in lecture hall 3A (NIG, Universitätsstraße 7, 3rd floor) at 17:15 and will last up to 18:45. All are invited to join us for dinner or drinks afterward. If possible, please let us know in advance by email. You can write to wip.philosophie(a)univie.ac.at if you have any questions or would like to present for the Work-in-Progress series. Calendar and event information can be found at: https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/phd-program/doctoral-training/wip-series/ Best wishes and we hope to see many of you there!

Khôra Kolloquium zu Franz Kafka am 14.03. 18:30 Seminarraum 8, UG Hauptgebäude

by Sebastian Krach

Sehr geehrte Kolleg:innen, ich möchte Sie im Namen von Khôra herzlich zum nächsten Kolloquium einladen. Termin: 14.03.2024, 18:30 - 20:00, Hauptgebäude, Seminarraum 8, UG im Hauptgebäude Thema: In unserer ersten Einheit werden wir uns – anlässlich seines diesjährigen 150. Geburtstag – mit Franz Kafka Beschäftigen: Kann man in Kafkas Werk von radikalem Perspektivismus sprechen? Wir möchten uns dieser Frage anhand einiger Texte Kafkas und mittels Donna Haraways Konzept des „situierten Wissens“ nähern. Ob es Josef K. ist, der im Gerichtsapparat verstellt durch Gänge, Bürokratieapparate, Tore und Mauern nie einen Blick auf „das Gesetz“ erhascht, der auf dem Rücken liegend erwachende Gregor Samsa oder z.B. die ungewöhnliche Verortung der Erzählerfigur in ihrem Bau in der gleichnamigen Geschichte: es scheint immer die Perspektive zu sein, die letztendlich das hervorbringt, was wir „Kafkaesk“ nennen und die große Kraft von Franz Kafkas Prosa freisetzt. "Er hat den archimedischen Punkt gefunden, hat ihn aber gegen sich ausgenützt, offenbar hat er ihn nur unter dieser Bedingung finden dürfen." (Kafka, Aphorismen: Paralipomena zur Reihe „Er“) Was ist das „Kafkaeske“ in den unhintergehbaren Perspektiven bei Kafka? Welche Macht geht von der Perspektive aus? Und welche vom Nicht-Perspektivier- und damit Perzipierbaren? Wir möchten mit euch, Kafka und Haraway philosophisch Experimentieren. Für Texte zum Thema schreiben Sie mir bitte persönlich, ich sende diese gerne auf Anfrage zu. Weitere Informationen sowie eine Mailingliste finden Sie auf unserer Homepage. https://www.khora.philo.at/ Danach ist im Café Gagarin reserviert, wo wir den Abend gemeinsam ausklingen lassen. Wir freuen uns auf euch! Liebe Grüße Sebastian Krach

Invitation: APSE Talk Mirjam Faissner, 21.3.2024, 15:00 HS 3A

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is my pleasure to invite you to the next talk organized by APSE – Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology. Mirjam Faissner (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) will give a talk titled "Epistemic Oppression and Trans Healthcare". Where and When: 21.3.2024, 15:00, HS 3A (NIG). Abstract: To understand and communicate our social experiences, we rely on epistemic resources, such as words, concepts, metaphors, or social meanings. Yet, which epistemic resources are socially available depends on power structures. The concept of epistemic oppression, as developed by Kristie Dotson, is helpful in understanding how power structures enable and constrain epistemic agency, i. e. our ability to use, develop and adapt our shared epistemic resources. In this talk, I argue that institutional epistemologies in healthcare sustain the epistemic oppression of trans people. More specifically, I suggest that dominant narratives on transition and detransition available in healthcare result in hermeneutical injustice and smothering, two types of epistemic injustice that uphold epistemic oppression. I discuss consequences of the epistemic oppression of trans people for trans healthcare. Bio: Mirjam Faissner is a medical ethicist working at the Institute of the History of Medicine and Ethics in Medicine at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Trained as a medical doctor and a philosopher, she works on questions of structural and epistemic injustice in healthcare, combining philosophical and empirical research. Looking forward to seeing you at the talk! All the best, Flora Löffelmann on behalf of APSE -- 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"!

[reminder] CFA: Workshop on Truth, Definability and Quantification into Sentence Position

by Lena Golker

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Workshop on Truth, Definability and Quantification into Sentence Position 27 and 28 September 2024, University of Vienna Jointly organised by Max Kölbel, Julio de Rizzo and Benjamin Schnieder -------- Can truth be defined? Frege argued that it couldn't. Ramsey argued that defining it would be easy if only we had an analysis of judgement. Today Horwich claims that truth cannot be defined explicitly because doing so would require quantification into sentence position and such quantification is not coherent. Instead he proposes a "minimal theory" of truth, which comprises all the unproblematic instances of the equivalence schema. Künne, by contrast, argues that quantification into sentence position is coherent and may actually be part of some natural languages. Künne uses such quantification to define truth explicitly: ∀x (x is true iff ∃p ((x is the proposition that p) & p)). Or in English: a representation (belief, assertion etc) is true just if things are as it represents them as being. Künne claims also to find this definition in Frank Ramsey's posthumous work, which, as an exegetical claim, is not uncontroversial. Is truth definable? Is propositional quantification coherent? Do natural languages involve propositional quantification, and in what sense? What do the answers to these questions mean for philosophical attempts to define or explain truth? Is truth redundant if explicitly definable? Not redundant if not explicitly definable? We are interested in these and related questions (broadly conceived). -------- Confirmed speakers are: Peter Fritz (Australian Catholic University) Paul Horwich (New York University) Wolfgang Künne (University of Hamburg) Poppy Mankowitz (University of Bristol) Cheryl Misak (University of Toronto) -------- We invite submissions of extended abstracts (1000 words max.) for up to 3 further talks. Please send your anonymized abstracts by 22 March 2024 to truthwien(a)gmail.com. Selected speakers will be notified by mid April. We will cover accommodation of selected speakers (and on application offer them a travel subsidy of up to 400 Euros). This workshop is supported by the FWF Cluster of Excellence project "Knowledge in Crisis", the FWF project "Truth is Grounded in Facts" and the University of Vienna.

IVC Talk: Christian J. Feldbacher-Escamilla on "Rudolf Carnap's Approach to the Problem of Induction", March 14, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is IVC fellow Christian J. Feldbacher-Escamilla (University of Cologne), who will give a talk on March 14, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM TALK: CHRISTIAN J. FELDBACHER-ESCAMILLA (IVC FELLOW) RUDOLF CARNAP'S APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF INDUCTION Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 14/03/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3F ABSTRACT: In Rudolf Carnap's work on inductive logic (starting with his 1950), he challenged the traditional view that inductive methods contradict empiricism due to their reliance on a synthetic a priori uniformity assumption. Carnap proposed a logical alternative to frequentist probability, advocating for a probabilistic uniformity assumption. He aimed to categorize all probabilistic statements as analytical and part of an inductive logic. Despite these efforts, we want to argue that Carnap's account has gaps. It remains to be proven that from his system a probabilistic statement about nature's uniformity can be derived. Additionally, his approach seems to require meta-probabilistic reasoning, which, at least at first sight, seems to face the problem of triggering an infinite regress and leaving his account to induction incomplete.

CfP Tagung Materialistisch-(queer)feministischen Perspektiven auf Gewalt

by Flora Löffelmann

Liebe alle, ich darf euch herzlich um eure Einreichungen zu diesem CfP für die Tagung "Materialistisch-(queer)feministische Perspektiven auf Gewalt" (5. bis 7.12.2024) an der Uni Innsbruck bitten. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Gewalt aus einer materialistisch-(queer-)feministischen Perspektive macht deutlich, dass sie in ihren unterschiedlichen Formen mit gesellschaftlichen Strukturen verwoben ist. Aus dieser Perspektive gilt es, Institutionen, ökonomische Zwänge und Bedingungen, Praktiken sowie Wissensformen sichtbar zu machen, die cis-heteronormative, patriarchale, rassistische, postkoloniale, klassistische gesellschaftliche Strukturen normalisieren und auf diese Weise ein Bedingungsgefüge für vielfältige Formen vergeschlechtlichter, sexualisierter und normativer Gewalt hervorbringen. Die Überlegungen zu Kapitalismus als mehrdimensionalem Gewaltverhältnis stellen den Ausgangspunkt für die Tagung dar, um die Komplexität von Gewaltverhältnissen, -strukturen, -handlungen und -diskursen im gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Kontext zu erfassen. Ziel der Tagung ist es, theoretische und empirische Perspektiven auf Kapitalismus als intersektionale Gesellschaftsformation zu entwickeln, die Gewalt strukturell produziert und reproduziert. Wir wollen ausloten, wie aus materialistisch-(queer)feministischer Perspektive Gewalt als Ausbeutung, Gewalt als Verhinderung von Lebenschancen und Sicherheit sowie Gewalt als Normierung konzeptualisiert werden kann, die sich in die Konstitution von vergeschlechtlichten, sexualisierten, rassifizierten und klassierten Subjekten, Körpern und Bevölkerungen einschreibt. Angesichts der multiplen Krisen der Gegenwart wollen wir zudem diskutieren, welche theoretischen und konzeptuellen Werkzeuge erforderlich sind, um autoritären Antifeminismus, steigende Queer- und Transfeindlichkeit sowie Angriffe auf körperliche Selbstbestimmung zu bekämpfen. Mehr dazu im CfP :) Mit lieben Grüßen, 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"!
