Gendered Culture Wars? Reading the US Elections from an Intersectional Lens

by Brigitta Keintzel

Dear colleagues, I am also happy to pass this event on. Kind regards, Brigitta Keintzel Cordially invitation to the roundtable "Gendered Culture Wars? Reading the US Elections from an Intersectional Lens". When? 8. November 2024, 17:00 Where? Universität Wien, Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistk, Spitalgasse 2 Hof 8, Helene-Richter-Saal Discussants: Elisabeth Holzleithner (University of Vienna, Philosophy of Law and Legal Gender Studies), Juliana Cesario Alvim Gomes (CEU Vienna / FGMG Minas Gerais, Brazil, Human Rights, Gender and Sexuality Studies), Julia Roth (University of Vienna / Anglophone Literatures and Cultures and Gender Studies) This roundtable sheds light on the intersectionally gendered dimensions of the US election campaign and its outcome. Discussing the “right-wing patterns of en-gendering” evoked in extreme right discourse, the participants trace the ways in which “gender” serves as an arena, a sort of meta-language and “affective bridge” to catapult diverse topics into the public sphere. From various perspectives – bridging the USA with Europe and Brazil / Latin America as well as Cultural and Gender Studies approaches with lenses from Law and Human Rights – the participants will delineate also the complexities of masculinities, femonationalism, sexual exceptionalism (Gabriele Dietze), or reverse anti-colonialism. The panel asks what we can expect from the new US government in the years to come in light of the affective strategies that are employed in this gendered and “reloaded Culture War” (Wendy Brown) in order to create a feeling of community and a new common sense. More information on our homepage: https://gain.univie.ac.at/news/detailansicht/news/gain-empfiehlt-8112024-ro… <https://gain.univie.ac.at/news/detailansicht/news/gain-empfiehlt-8112024-ro…> We look forward to an engaging discussion and valuable insights from all participants in the exploration of these timely and impactful themes!

Dear colleagues, We are cordially inviting you to Gender bites with Simon Strick and Andrea Lehner-Hartmann (description below). The event will be in German and is accessible via Zoom. Everyone is welcome, and please feel free to share/spread/forward it. Achte Veranstaltung der Reihe „GAIN Gender Bites“ der Forschungsplattform GAIN - Gender: Ambivalent In_Visibilities. Dieses Format bietet thematisch fokussierte und prägnante Gespräche mit Expert*innen zu aktuellen Themen im Kontext der Forschungsplattform GAIN – Gender Ambivalent In_Visibilities. GAIN Gender Bites mit Simon Strick: Bericht aus der rechten Medienhegemonie Dienstag, 19.11.2024 18:00, online via Zoom Meeting-ID: 666 6967 0200 Kenncode: 887780 Link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66669670200?pwd=v4XC5Oaf5ug6z5LMaszretzGYFsG8o.1 <https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66669670200?pwd=v4XC5Oaf5ug6z5LMaszretzGYFsG8o.1> <https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66669670200?pwd=v4XC5Oaf5ug6z5LMaszretzGYFsG8o.1 <https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66669670200?pwd=v4XC5Oaf5ug6z5LMaszretzGYFsG8o.1> Im Gender Bites Gespräch wird Simon Strick aus seiner Forschung zu rechten und neofaschistischen Propagandaräumen im Netz berichten. Diese sind keine Randbezirke der Sozialen Medien, sondern zum eigentlichen Motor der Netzkommunikation geworden. Regressive Geschlechterrollen, Verschwörungstheorien, Agitation für verschiedenste neurechte Politprojekte charakterisieren die gegenwärtigen Diskurse und Dynamiken im Digitalen. Simon Strick zeigt, wie diese Räume nicht allein mit den Stichworten der Manipulation oder Desinformation beschrieben werden können, sondern dass rechte Kulturkämpfe als derzeit dominante Populärkultur verstanden werden müssen. Dr. Simon Strick leitet das Projekt „Digital Blackface. Rassisierte Affektmuster des Digitalen“ (Universität Potsdam), war Genderforscher und Medienwissenschaftler am Zentrum für Medienwissenschaften (ZeM) Brandenburg; 2021 mit dem Hans Bausch Mediapreis ausgezeichnet. Forschungsschwerpunkte: Gender- und Rassismustheorien, Populäre Kulturen, Affect Studies, Medien- und Kulturanalyse. Moderation: Andrea Lehner-Hartmann

IVC Talk: Lorenzo Sartori on "Scientific Pictures, Models, and their Justification", November 7, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Lorenzo Sartori (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on November 7, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Lorenzo Sartori SCIENTIFIC PICTURES, MODELS, AND THEIR JUSTIFICATION Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 07/11/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G ABSTRACT: In this paper, I first show that similarity accounts of scientific pictures fail with more realistic cases of scientific pictures. My primary case study is the picture of a black hole, from which I develop an interpretation-based account of picture representation analogous to how models represent: a picture represents a designated target system iff, once interpreted, it exemplifies properties that are then imputed to the target via a de-idealising function. Then, I show that justification of the inferences from pictures crucially depends on their causal mechanisms of production, in contrast with the standard justificatory strategies we employ for model inferences.

Die Tagung soll Lili Körbers Œuvre erstmals aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven diskutieren und als Beispiel einer von Dis:konnektivitäten geprägten Werk-Biografie betrachten. Die Autorin soll in den größeren Kontexten von Politik, Literatur, Kunst und Gender in einer von politischen Umbrüchen bestimmten Zeit verortet werden. Bei dieser Auseinandersetzung mit der politisch schreibenden und schriftstellerisch politisch handelnden Lili Körber werfen wir auch einen Blick in unsere Gegenwart, die zunehmend von Extremismus, Rassismus und Antisemitismus geprägt ist. *_Donnerstag, 14.

Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency, November 15 Vienna

by Ali Emre Benli

Dear all, Please find below a Call for Registration for our workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency that will take place here at the University of Vienna on November 15. Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency Co-hosted by Department of Philosophy University of Vienna and Knowledge in Crisis FWF Cluster of Excellence. November 15, 2024 Room 3A, Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG) Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna A declaration of climate emergency calls for a radical break from business-as-usual in climate policy. Yet it raises crucial moral, political and institutional questions: Should the demands of urgency and the extent of potential harm alter procedures of decision-making or frameworks of justification? Which courses of action/institutions are permissible to avoid the harms of global warming? How should we understand responsibilities for remedying loss and damage as well as future generations in the context of climate emergency? This one-day workshop will bring together researchers working on the above and related issues surrounding climate emergency. Speakers: Kathrin von Allmen (Harvard University) Ali Emre Benli (University of Vienna) Angela Kallhoff (University of Vienna) Ross Mittiga (SOAS University of London) Tracey Skillington (University College Cork) The workshop is free, but places are limited. Online participation is possible. Please register via workshop registration [1]. Program is available at The Ethics of Climate Emergency -- University of Vienna [2] For further information, see https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/news-and-events Please send your enquiries to ali.emre.benli(a)univie.ac.at -- Ali Emre Benli Universitätsassistent (PostDoc) Chair of Ethics and Applied Ethics University of Vienna | Department of Philosophy Links: ------ [1] https://forms.gle/Pg5NcuvJAS1E3czf9 [2] https://ucrisportal.univie.ac.at/en/activities/the-ethics-of-climate-emerge…

Event Invitation: The Philosophy of Twins

by Jason Means

Dear All, You are cordially invited to an evening of warm conversation, laughter and insight, as Helena de Bres (Wellesley College, USA) uses the curious experience of being a twin as a lens for reconsidering our place in the world. De Bres will read from her book How to Be Multiple: The Philosophy of Twins and discuss its themes with Paulina Sliwa (University of Vienna). The audience will be encouraged to join the conversation, with plenty of time for questions and comments. The discussion will be followed by a wine reception. Location: Grand Loft, FILMQUARTIER Wien Date: Friday, 11 October 2024 Time: 6 - 8:30pm Please register here<https://forms.office.com/e/9CL1vWyUAa>. About How to be Multiple: Wait, are you you or the other one? Which is the evil twin? Have you ever switched partners? Can you read each other's mind? Twins get asked the weirdest questions by strangers, loved ones, and even themselves. For Helena de Bres, a twin and philosophy professor, these questions are closely tied to some of philosophy's most unnerving unknowns. What makes someone themself rather than someone else? Can one person be housed in two bodies? What does perfect love look like? Can we really act freely? At what point does wonder morph into objectification? Accompanied by her twin Julia's drawings, Helena uses twinhood to rethink the limits of personhood, consciousness, love, freedom, and justice. With her inimitably candid, wry voice, she explores the long tradition of twin representations in art, myth, and popular culture; twins' peculiar social standing; and what it's really like to be one of two. With insight, hope, and humor, she argues that our reactions to twins reveal our broader desires and fears about selfhood, fate, and human connection, and that reflecting on twinhood can help each of us-twins and singletons alike-recognize our own multiplicity, and approach life with greater curiosity, imagination, and courage.

ChatGPT, Radiosendung

by Herbert Hrachovec

Guten Tag, zu Beginn dieses Semesters war in meiner Lehrveranstaltung ein verstärktes Interesse an "creative AI", speziell in Form von ChatGPT (und Konsorten) festzustellen. Zwei einschlägige Vorträge aus einem Cyberspace Symposium in Brünn 2023 wurden gestern in Radio Orange zusammengefasst. Die Sendung ist in der "Philosophischen Audiothek" archiviert: Generative KI: Einem Zauberlehrling gute Sitten beibringen? https://audiothek.philo.at/podcast/generative-ki-einem-zauberlehrling-gute-… Andreas Kirchner stellt einen Bericht über die aktuellen US-amerikanischen und europäischen Gesetzesregelungen zu KI vor und skizziert in einem eigenen Beitrag den informatischen und sozialen Hintergrund des Phänomens. Die Darstellungen können dazu beitragen, ihm sozusagen "unter die Kühlerhaube zu schauen". Herbert Hrachovec P.S. Es handelt sich um eine Folge der "Philosophischen Brocken", die regelmäßig 14-tägig von einem am Institut verankerten Radioteam gestaltet wird. Für Rückfragen und bei Interesse an Medienarbeit wenden Sie sich bitte an mich.

Symposium: Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit und Wissenschaftsskepsis aus historischer und philosophischer Perspektive, 23.-25.10.

by Zarah Weiss

Einladung SYMPOSIUM Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit und Wissenschaftsskepsis aus historischer und philosophischer Perspektive 23.-25. Oktober 2024 | Seminarraum 1, ÖAW Campus (Bäckerstraße 13, _1010 Wien)_ Das Symposium möchte durch Historisierung und philosophische Reflexion zu einem besseren Verständnis der Hintergründe der Ablehnung von wissenschaftlichem Wissen in vergangenen wie auch in gegenwärtigen Gesellschaften beitragen. Wie sind die im Verlauf der Geschichte wechselnden „Leitwissenschaften" mit den jeweils vorhandenen Ausbildungen von Wissenschaftsskepsis und Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit umgegangen? Ergriffen die Vertreter:innen der Leitwissenschaften selbst vertrauensbildende Maßnahmen? Und wenn ja, welche? Wieviel Rückhalt erhielten sie durch die Politik und Medien? Wie erfolgreich waren Wissenschaftler:innen darin, Wissenschaftsskepsis und -feindlichkeit abzubauen? Inwiefern nutzen Wissenschaftler:innen diese Skepsis umgekehrt als Chance für die Entwicklung neuer Forschungsbereiche, insbesondere zur Abschätzung von Chancen und Risiken neuer Technologien?

IVC Talk: Simon Graf on "Epistemic Conflicts: Permissibility and Incommensurability", October 24, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Simon Graf (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on October 24, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Simon Graf EPISTEMIC CONFLICTS: PERMISSIBILITY AND INCOMMENSURABILITY Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 24/10/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G ABSTRACT: Sometimes we face choices in which the different values we subscribe to give us conflicting recommendations. This talk sets out to compare these value-conflict cases with so-called permissive cases, which are cases in which one body of evidence seemingly rationalizes multiple doxastic attitudes. The proposed resemblance arises from a similarity in the underlying conflicts displayed in these cases: while the former involve conflicting values, the latter involve conflicting epistemic standards. In both instances, we are faced with incommensurable alternatives which are supported by independent and non-directly comparable normative sources. By showing that permissive cases share the idiosyncratic features of comparisons under incommensurability, we gain a better understanding of numerous issues, such as the alleged arbitrariness of permissive attitudes. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that the proposed strategy is neutral regarding whether epistemic rationality is genuinely permissive. While some understandings of incommensurability support a permissive interpretation, others can be used to motivate impermissivism. This shifts the debate between permissivists and impermissivists by reducing normative questions about epistemic rationality to more fundamental questions about the nature of incommensurability.

Reminder: Trans*formations talk by Eric Llaveria Caselles, October 18th 2024 - also ONLINE!

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is my pleasure to remind you of the third installment of the Trans*formations talk series, which will take place THIS FRIDAY. It is part of an event series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna, which provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. This time, Eric Llaveria Caselles, currently working at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin, will give a talk titled "Epistemic Violence and Trans Theory. A Cartography of Minor Truths." When: Friday, October 18th 2024 15:00 - 16:30 Where: HS 3B, 3. Stock Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien (wheelchair accessible through main entrance elevator) If you want to follow the talk online, please join using the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/67838003396?pwd=jmudw0UhAfnZdnkbYipm1ARVS0B28a.1 Kenncode: 0000 Abstract: For the transsexual subject to be able to emerge as a source of credible speech, a fundamental critique of the western epistemic and symbolic order had to gain traction. When Susan Stryker stood up at a Lesbian and Gay History conference in New York in 1995 and yelled “I am a transsexual and I am not sick!”, she reclaimed the participation of the transsexual intellectual in the production of truths, refuting discourses of dehumanization. This inaugural scene of Trans Studies places the undoing of epistemic violence as both a precondition and a fundamental commitment of trans theoretical practice. But what does this commitment to emancipatory forms of knowledge production entail? What are the contradictions of aspiring to anti-normative purity? What conversations can we build on the repeated condemnation of those reproducing symbolic violence? Does this commitment not miss the practical reason of cultural narratives? And is it possible to separate the epistemic violence from our sense of self, our needs and desires? Do the voices of trans people really hold the key to an emancipatory meaning? And if we betray the idea that we just need to let trans people speak, what then can hold the possibility of undoing epistemic violence? In this talk, I reflect on these questions based on my own research trajectory, which spans topics such as trans subcultural spaces, neuroscientific studies of (trans)gender identity and trans social reproduction in global capitalism. The talk traces the shifts of my theoretical practice by building a personal cartography of minor truths. I take the term “minor truths” from the title of a show by the artist Spence Messih. Their glasswork compositions and philosophical considerations introduce a phenomenological sensibility in my analysis, inspiring me to search for a language that reflects the inseparability of theoretical standpoint from affective states, social relationships and political conjunctures. In conversation with Messih’s work, the talk evolves in a non-linear motion connecting five modes of epistemic experience: abstraction, vulnerability, praxeology, dialogue and betrayal. Bio: Eric Llaveria Caselles is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin. His recent publications explore the limitations of gender identity positivism and queer deconstructivism as the two main approaches to trans theory. His research builds on current trans Marxist proposals and historical materialist traditions of gender theory to set the groundwork for an alternative framework in Trans Studies.

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.

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.

Invitation: Trans*formations talk by Eric Llaveria Caselles, October 18th 2024 - also ONLINE!

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is my pleasure to invite you to the third installment of the Trans*formations talk series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna, which provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. This time, Eric Llaveria Caselles, currently working at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin, will give a talk titled "Epistemic Violence and Trans Theory. A Cartography of Minor Truths." When: Friday, October 18th 2024 15:00 - 16:30 Where: HS 3B, 3. Stock Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien If you want to follow the talk online, please join using the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/67838003396?pwd=jmudw0UhAfnZdnkbYipm1ARVS0B28a.1 Kenncode: 0000 Abstract: For the transsexual subject to be able to emerge as a source of credible speech, a fundamental critique of the western epistemic and symbolic order had to gain traction. When Susan Stryker stood up at a Lesbian and Gay History conference in New York in 1995 and yelled “I am a transsexual and I am not sick!”, she reclaimed the participation of the transsexual intellectual in the production of truths, refuting discourses of dehumanization. This inaugural scene of Trans Studies places the undoing of epistemic violence as both a precondition and a fundamental commitment of trans theoretical practice. But what does this commitment to emancipatory forms of knowledge production entail? What are the contradictions of aspiring to anti-normative purity? What conversations can we build on the repeated condemnation of those reproducing symbolic violence? Does this commitment not miss the practical reason of cultural narratives? And is it possible to separate the epistemic violence from our sense of self, our needs and desires? Do the voices of trans people really hold the key to an emancipatory meaning? And if we betray the idea that we just need to let trans people speak, what then can hold the possibility of undoing epistemic violence? In this talk, I reflect on these questions based on my own research trajectory, which spans topics such as trans subcultural spaces, neuroscientific studies of (trans)gender identity and trans social reproduction in global capitalism. The talk traces the shifts of my theoretical practice by building a personal cartography of minor truths. I take the term “minor truths” from the title of a show by the artist Spence Messih. Their glasswork compositions and philosophical considerations introduce a phenomenological sensibility in my analysis, inspiring me to search for a language that reflects the inseparability of theoretical standpoint from affective states, social relationships and political conjunctures. In conversation with Messih’s work, the talk evolves in a non-linear motion connecting five modes of epistemic experience: abstraction, vulnerability, praxeology, dialogue and betrayal. Bio: Eric Llaveria Caselles is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin. His recent publications explore the limitations of gender identity positivism and queer deconstructivism as the two main approaches to trans theory. His research builds on current trans Marxist proposals and historical materialist traditions of gender theory to set the groundwork for an alternative framework in Trans Studies.

Reminder: The Boundaries of Mathematics - Young Academy Distinguished Lecture on 9th October 2024 at 5pm

by Anne Sophie Meincke

Dear All, On behalf of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, it is my pleasure to invite you to the next edition of the Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series, which will take place on Wednesday, 9th October 2024, at 5p.m. in the Festsaal of the main building of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Doktor-Ignaz-Seipel-Platz 2). The topic is: "The Boundaries of Mathematics: From Gödel to the Study of Large Infinities" Mathematics is known as an exact science: Every statement seems to be true or false in the sense that it can be proved or disproved. Kurt Gödel shocked the mathematical community in the 1930s by showing that there are mathematical statements that can neither be proved nor disproved. While his example was of theoretical nature, we now know several examples from mathematical practice. In particular, the study of large infinities is full of unprovable statements, thus pointing beyond mathematics into the realm of philosophy. The lecture will shed light on the origins of Gödel's incompleteness theorem and discuss the latest research on unprovable statements, especially in the study of large infinities. The speakers are: - Jan von Plato, logician and historian of science at the University of Helsinki, - W. Hugh Woodin, Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics at Harvard University and expert in axiomatic set theory, - Sandra Müller, member of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and mathematician at the TU Wien. The discussion will be moderated by Anne Sophie Meincke, philosopher at the University of Vienna and member of the Young Academy. The Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series brings cutting-edge scientific topics to the public, presented by distinguished experts and a member of the Young Academy. More details are to be found in the attached booklet. Due to popular demand, the event has been relocated from the Sitzungssaal to the Festsaal of the main building of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Please register here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/veranstaltungen/anmeldung/young-academy-distinguishe… We are looking forward to seeing you.

Last CFR: Workshop on Truth, University of Vienna (27+28 September)

by Lena Golker

LAST CALL FOR REGISTRATION Workshop on Truth, Definability and Quantification into Sentence Position [in person and online via Zoom] 27 and 28 September 2024, University of Vienna Jointly organised by Max Kölbel, Julio de Rizzo and Benjamin Schnieder Speakers: Cheryl Misak, Poppy Mankowitz, Paul Horwich, Peter Fritz, Wolfgang Künne, Arvid Båve, Torsten Odland, Bradley Armour-Garb & James Woodbridge For more information, abstracts and registration visit: https://truth-workshop.phl.univie.ac.at/ [there have been slight changes to the programme] For those unable to attend in person, there will be the possibility to join passively via Zoom. If you would like to attend the workshop via Zoom, please contact us via e-mail: truthwien(a)gmail.com Workshop description: 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). 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.

Call for Expressions of Interest – Workshop Proposal Endorsed by the Kantian Standing Group at ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops 2025

by Jakob Rendl

Dear All, The ECPR Standing Group on Kantian Political Thought Kantian Political Thought (ecpr.eu) [1] plans to submit an application for a workshop on 'Institutions of Peace. Perspectives from Kantian Political Theory' to be convened by Bertjan Wolthuis (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Jakob Rendl (University of Vienna) to take place at the _Joint Sessions of Workshops_ organised by the _European Consortium of Political Research_ (ECPR) at _Charles University_, Prague, from 20 to 23 May 2025: Joint Sessions of Workshops, Charles University, 20 - 23 May 2025 (ecpr.eu) [2]. The workshop is a closed forum accommodating 15-20 Papers over four days. Each participant presents their paper which is then thoroughly reviewed and discussed by the group, including time for discussant-led questions (each Paper Presenter is expected to take turns to serve as a Discussant). The _Joint Sessions Workshop_ thus offers a unique opportunity to receive thorough feedback and engage in intense discussions on Kantian Political Theory. At this stage, we would like to gauge potential interest in the workshop, so if this is a topic you would like to present a paper on as part of the workshop, please get in touch with the workshop convenors until Wednesday, 11 September 2024: a.j.wolthuis(a)vu.nl; jakob.rendl(a)univie.ac.at. Kind regards, Jakob Rendl ******************************************************************************************************** Call for Expressions of Interest - Workshop Proposal Endorsed by the Kantian Standing Group at ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops 2025 Institutions of Peace. Perspectives from Kantian Political Theory Introduction The news reminds us every day that, unfortunately, peace remains a topic as relevant as ever. Recently, questions about what can justify war, what is justified in war, and how to establish peace, have again attracted the attention of political theorists. Their works rely crucially on the political theory of Immanuel Kant. Whereas there is considerable consensus in the literature about Kant's position on war, there is still sharp disagreement about Kant's related views about the establishment of peace. The aim of this workshop is to research this disagreement and to further clarify Kant's position on the institutions of peace. Why the Discipline Needs this Workshop The question of peace and its institutions is currently a topical issue. However, important aspects of this topic still await clarification. How, precisely, to define peace? And how is peace best established (Hathaway and Shapiro 2017)? Is peace always preferable to conflict (Margalit 2013; Forst 2011)? The recent literature on war and peace (Huber 2022; Ripstein 2021a, Niesen 2021) relies critically on Kant's notion of the state, and his understanding of both international and cosmopolitan law. Unclear, however, is what the establishment of peace requires, as part of a Kantian approach. Is a full-blown 'world federation' necessary, as some (Kleingeld 2004) argue? Others (Ripstein 2009, p. 227-228) think Kant's theory lacks 'the resources to argue for either an executive or a legislative international body.' This workshop addresses these and related issues with which the discipline is currently grappling. What has become clear to Kantian scholars, is that to shed light on these questions, it is neccesary to understand how national law, international law and cosmopolitan law should work together as one system of public law. However, scholars disagree about the status of the rather restricted rights and duties of international and cosmopolitan law that Kant mentions (Huber 2022). Are these rights and duties already 'public' and 'peremptory' (Ripstein 2021b) or perhaps still 'natural' and 'provisional', in need of further institutional development (Niesen 2021)? We invite scholars in all career stages and also from backgrounds traditionally marginalized to send working papers on these issues. The aim is to publish accepted papers. The Workshop Will Address Questions such as: What constitutes peace? Is peace best advanced by transferring more powers from the nation state to the institutions of international and cosmopolitan unions, such as the United Nations and the European Union, or is peace perhaps undermined by the further strengthening of international and transnational authorities? What would Kant's position be on today's institutions of international and cosmopolitan law?

Conference 26-28 Sept. "At the Limits of Imagination: Otherness in Humans & Nonhuman Animals"

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

Dear all, You are cordially invited to the conference "At the Limits of Imagination: Otherness in Humans & Nonhuman Animals" 26-28 September 2024 Neues Institutsgebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, Lecture Hall 3D (3rd floor) Keynote speaker: Alice Crary (The New School for Social Research) This three-day conference will focus on the possibilities and limits of imagination and empathy with regards to humans and non-human animals, and on the tensions inherent in comparing or comparatively analyzing both groups. Imagined similarities and dissimilarities play a pivotal role in ethical theories with regards to treatment of both human and non-human groups.It has been argued, for example, that racialized and disabled people, and nonhuman animals, have been discriminated against according to the same logic that grounds inclusion and exclusion upon the possession of certain distinctively human ‘abilities’: rationality, language, autonomy, agency, etc. (e.g., Crary 2016; Taylor 2018; Crary and Gruen 2022).The presumed absence of these ‘abilities’ is equated with a negative and inferior form of embodiment, against which the human norm has in turn been defined. However, conflating their respective ethical status also risks reinforcing the dehumanization of those human groups by instrumentalizing their oppression in the service of animals (Boisseron2019; Crary 2016; Kittay 2019). This conference, organized by Martin Huth, Carlo Salzani, and Ruadhán J. Flynn, will take place at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vienna as part of the project “The Limits of Imagination: Animals, Empathy, Anthropomorphism” (P 35137-G; funded by the FWF, Austria). Attendance is free, in person and online. Live closed captioning will be available. For the conference program, full accessibility information, and further details, see https://ruadhanjflynn.com/?p=628 To register for online attendance, email ruadhan(dot)flynn(at)vetmeduni.ac.at

CFR: Workshop on Truth, University of Vienna (27+28 September)

by Lena Golker

CALL FOR REGISTRATION Workshop on Truth, Definability and Quantification into Sentence Position (description below*) 27 and 28 September 2024, University of Vienna Jointly organised by Max Kölbel, Julio de Rizzo and Benjamin Schnieder Speakers: Cheryl Misak, Poppy Mankowitz, Paul Horwich, Peter Fritz, Wolfgang Künne, Arvid Båve, Torsten Odland, Bradley Armour-Garb & James Woodbridge For more information and registration visit: https://truth-workshop.phl.univie.ac.at/ *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). 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.

Fwd: Mit der Bitte um Aushang und Verbreitung: Einladung zum 11. Kongress der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für 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. Plenarvorträge: Tim Crane, Josef Mitterer, Elisabeth Nemeth Eröffnung: Institut für Philosophie der Universität Graz Kontakt und Information: Laurin Mackowitz, Dr.Mag.Bakk.phil., Universitätsassistent, Institut für Philosophie, Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Heinrichstraße 26/III, 8010 Graz, Austria, Generalsekretär der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie, laurin.mackowitz(a)uni-graz.at Kongressgebühren: ÖGP-Mitglieder: € 60.- Nichtmitglieder: € 120.- Studierende: keine ***** CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: 11TH CONGRESS OF THE AUSTRIAN SOCIETY FOR PHILOSOPHY _THINKING THE FUTURE_ FEBRUARY 25TH TO 28TH, 2025 UNIVERSITY OF GRAZ The 11th Congress of the Austrian Society for Philosophy will take place from February 25th to 28th, 2025 at the University of Graz. 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.

Juli 2024 15:47 *An:* IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme <MSCFP(a)iaea.org> *Betreff:* IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP)-Application Call Now Open Dear Recipient, *Spread the word! The IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) next application call is now open and will close on 30 September 2024. 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. MSCFP recipients also have a chance to become a part of the programme’ s LinkedIn Student and Alumni Group where they can connect with their peers and exchange knowledge and experience, as well as find out about technical events and career opportunities. *Since its launch in 2020, MSCFP has received 2271 applications, selecting 560 students from 121 nationalities studying in 72 countries worldwide. By end of March 2024, 201 students have already completed their master’s programme with support of MSCFP. From these graduates, 110 have been confirmed for an internship facilitated by the IAEA at the IAEA departments and labs (Seibersdorf and Monaco), IAEA Collaborating Centres, and other nuclear organizations in the public or private sector in various countries The internships are linked to the students’ areas of specialization in fields ranging from nuclear energy, nuclear science and applications, nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear safety and security and nuclear law. The remaining graduates have pursued PhD studies or obtained employment in their field. The programme is envisaged to grow each year to ensure more women have an opportunity to pursue advanced education in the nuclear related field.* *To encourage broad dissemination of the information, we would greatly appreciate if this communication can be shared within your university for further distribution among relevant academic faculties, career and financial support services and female students pursuing master’s degree education in nuclear related fields.

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. Keynote Speakers: Vasso Kindi (University of Athens) Martin Kusch (University of Vienna) Speakers: Ulrich Arnswald, Jordi Cat, David Chandler, Matteo Collodel, Margaretha Hendrickx, Paul Hoyningen-Huene, Rita Kimijima-Dennemayer, Artur Koterski, Daniel Kuby, Christoph Limbeck-Lilienau, Eric Oberheim, John Preston, Marij van Strien, Gerrit Tiefenthal, Natalia Tomashpolskaja Registration required ( <mailto:vcs@univie.ac.at> vcs(a)univie.ac.at) There will be no registration fee.

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.

P.Hahne (U. Vienna) "‘Trust the Machine?’: Conceptualising Trust in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence" & D.Boll (VU Amsterdam) "Taking Responsibility: With or Without You?" - WIP Series - 28.06-5pm (3A NiG)

by VDS Philosophy

** *Dear Colleagues,* * This is an email to invite you to the next presentations in the WIP series. The meeting will take place in lecture hall 3A (NIG, Universitätsstraße 7, 3rd floor) at 17:00 and will last up to 18:30. Pia-Zoe Hahne (University of Vienna): "‘Trust the Machine?’: Conceptualising Trust in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence" To accept a new technology, we first need to trust it. With AI, there is not just one specific kind of trust that we put in the system; instead, it is a “multidimensional construct, including trust in functionality, trust in reliability, and trust in data protection” (Wang, Lin & Shao, 2022, p. 340). However, trust in AI is often only conceptualised as an epistemic trust (Alvaro, 2023; Ryan, 2020). These approaches to study conceptual disruptions often remain abstract and disregard the involvement of stakeholders. This is where a new approach in engaging with conceptual disruptions comes in. Conceptual engineering is an emerging approach in philosophy of technology. It stresses the connection between empirical research and conceptual analysis (Löhr, 2023). Conceptual misalignment is relevant for AI as it describes a scenario in which concepts seem applicable while hiding “an underlying value misalignment” (Marchiori & Scharp, 2024, p. 2), resulting in ethical problems. Trust is an ideal concept for conceptual engineering as it forms the basis for other concepts and disruptions therefore have farreaching consequences. Löhr (2023) and Marchiori & Sharp (2024) specifically points out that studying these disruptions necessitates empirical data, demonstrating a new turn in engaging with conceptual disruptions. The intense disruptions influenced by AI present new challenges by moving away from a purely epistemic view on trust in technology as well as the far-reaching consequences on trust between people and trust in institutions. I present a new approach to study conceptual disruptions by moving beyond abstract conceptual analysis and into practical uses of concepts and empirical data through conceptual engineering. Dominik Boll (VU University Amsterdam) "Taking Responsibility: With or Without You?" My topic in this talk is talking responsibility and its place in our responsibility practices. The literature on responsibility has blossomed and turned to ever finer specialisation in the last decades, and yet the primary focus often remains on _ holding responsible_. Philosophers have increasingly turned to theorising our responsibility _practices_—how blaming and praising are _socialised_ phenomena, how holding responsible is something we _do _between each other beyond blame as a mental state—but there is still much focus on what the blamer does or is licenced to do. Few theorists focus on the perspective on the other side of responsibility interactions. While there are large literatures on guilt, apologies, or making amends, writers rarely take the general first-personal perspective of the party responding to their own infraction, investigating what it is for the agent to react to what they have done, what they are required to do to deal with it, and what precisely their response aims at. This presents an activity distinct from holding oneself responsible (Bero 2020). Indeed, the need to respond to our actions and their significance is an omnipresent aspect of our moral lives. We hold others responsible for what they do, and we take responsibility for what we do. This is not, however, how taking responsibility is currently theorised. Departing from Wolf (2001), philosophers have proposed different accounts of taking responsibility (Enoch 2012; Sliwa 2024; Mason 2019). They differ in their assumptions and goals but theorise something similar—how we react to (some of) our own morally consequential actions such as to accommodate its fallout for others. Notably, however, taking responsibility is captured as something entirely internal to the wrongdoer and not as an interpersonal practice parallel to holding responsible. In this paper, I theorise this interpersonal phenomenon. I first explicate two common threads in the literature on taking responsibility. Taking responsibility is theorised as something which the agent can do all by themselves, yet taking responsibility is supposed to be essentially interpersonal. I argue that this presents a tension and leaves a lacuna to theorise a broader account of taking responsibility. I then advance two arguments to show that such an account is needed for making sense of the full extent of our responsibility practices. Lastly, I provide the contours of such an account as an activity which achieves certain aims between its parties. This embeds taking responsibility in the broader web of our responsibility practices and resolves the tension. If my action has a morally significant impact on you, I can only take responsibility with you, not without you. 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. Best wishes and we hope to see many of you there!

Liebe Interessierte, dear all, ich lade Sie herzlich ein zur Teilnahme an dem unten stehenden Workshop / I cordially invite you to participate in the workshop described below, der ersten Veranstaltung in der Reihe / the first event in the series: Philosophie und Ethik in Schule und Gesellschaft: Schule und Universität zusammendenken Herzliche Grüße / best regards Arne Moritz Professur für Ethik in Schule und Gesellschaft Workshop Mündliche Leistungsbewertungen kompetenzorientiert gestalten im Ethik- und Philosophieunterricht Workshop am Freitag 21.6.2024, 15-16.30 Uhr (HS 3B, R.315, Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, 3. Stock) und am Freitag 27.9.2024, 15-18:15 Uhr (Ort wird noch bekannt gegeben) Der Workshop richtet sich an alle Interessierten (Lehrkräfte, Studierende, weitere Öffentlichkeit), die sich zum Thema mündliche Leistungsbewertung in den Fächern Ethik/Philosophie (etwa im Zusammenhang der Matura-Prüfung) fachlich austauschen und persönlich vernetzen möchten. Beim ersten Termin im Juni wird es einen kurzen inhaltlichen Input aus fachdidaktischer Perspektive geben, in dem vor allem die Anforderung "Kompetenzorientierung" in zwei Weisen übersetzt und erläutert werden soll: a) hinsichtlich konzeptioneller Anforderungen und b) hinsichtlich praktischer Gestaltungen von mündlichen Leistungsbewertungssituationen im Ethik- und Philosophieunterricht. Im gemeinsamen Gespräch sollen von dort aus Interessenschwerpunkte und Herausforderungen identifiziert werden, die beim Termin im September weiter bearbeitet werden könnten. Unterschiedliche Formate sind denkbar, z.B. das Gespräch über fachdidaktische Vorschläge zum Thema Leistungsbewertung, die im Zeitraum zwischen Juni und September von den Teilnehmenden gelesen werden - und/oder der Austausch über die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten konkreter Aufgabenerstellungen, ausgehend von vorgegebenen Materialien, usw. Eine Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich. Die Teilnahme am Termin im Juni verpflichtet nicht zur Teilnahme im September. The workshop (which is held in German) is aimed at all interested persons (teachers, students, other people from the public) who would like to exchange ideas on the topic of oral assessment in the school subjects of ethics/philosophy (e.g. in connection with the Matura examination) and who would like to network personally. At the first meeting in June, there will be a brief input from a didactical perspective, in which the requirement of "competence orientation" will be interpreted and explained in two ways: a) with regard to conceptual requirements and b) with regard to the practical design of oral assessment situations in ethics and philosophy education. From there, key points of interest and the relevant challenges are to be identified in a joint discussion, which could be worked on further at the meeting in September. Different formats are available, e.g. a discussion on didactical texts on the subject of assessment, which participants will read in the period between June and September - and/or an exchange on the challenges and opportunities of designing actual assessment exercises based on given materials, etc. Registration is not required. Participation in the June event does not require to participate in September. -- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Arne Moritz Professur für Ethik in Schule und Gesellschaft Fakultät für Philosophie und Bildungswissenschaft Institut für Philosophie/Zentrum für Lehrer*innenbildung Universität Wien https://homepage.univie.ac.at/arne.holger.moritz/ Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG) Universitätsstraße 7 Stiege I, Gang A, R. 312 1010 Wien

IVC Talk: Antonio Piccolomini d'Aragona (IVC Fellow) on "Sundholm's Semantics: Logical Atavism and the Nature of Proofs", June 20, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Antonio Piccolomini d'Aragona (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on June 20, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Antonio Piccolomini d'Aragona SUNDHOLM'S SEMANTICS: LOGICAL ATAVISM AND THE NATURE OF PROOFS Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 20/06/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3F ABSTRACT: I aim at providing an overview of some of Sundholm's observations on the philosophy and history of logic, which I overall refer to as _Sundholm's semantics_. In the reconstruction I propose, the latter is based on two main tenets, namely, that we had better jettison the object-language/meta-language distinction, and that the careful meaning-explanation which formalisms must come with render the axioms and rules of inference evident. The first tenet goes hand in hand with the detection of what Sundholm call the _Bolzano reductions_, namely, two methodological tenets according to which, first, correctness of assertions is reduced to propositional truth and, second, inferential validity is reduced to logical consequence. In Sundholm's opinion, these Bolzano reductions hide crucial epistemic and pragmatic aspects of logic, when compared to what is the case in "atavistic" approaches like Frege's, where formalisms are indeed understood as meaningful languages. Thus, Sundholm's semantics does not consist in a meta-linguistic attribution of meaning to uninterpreted sets of strings, but in an issuing of the intended meaning of contentual formalism, including semantic values for derivations. The latter are dealt with by Sundholm through a distinction between proof-objects and proof-acts, which Sundholm himself had put stressed in the context of his early discussion of BHK-semantics. When cast as a constructive reading of the so-called truth-maker principle, via a Martin-Löfian rendering of assertions as existence of proof(-object)s for given propositions, the proof-object/proof-act distinction leads to a fresh semantic account of Gentzen's 1932 and 1936 versions of Natural Deduction, as well as to doubts regarding their often asserted meta-theoretical equivalence.

APSE Online Talk: Haiqiang Dai - Rule-Skepticism and Primitive Normativity

by edv.philosophie

Dear all, I would like to cordially invite you to the next APSE (Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology) talk! The speaker will be *Haiqiang Dai (Beijing Normal University in Beijing, China)* and the talk will happen ONLINE on *June 13th, 2024 from 15:00 - 17:00*. Please find the abstract & link below! Please also forward this invite to others who could be interested. Title: *Rule-Skepticism and Primitive Normativity* Abstract: In his Wittgenstein on Rules and Private language, Saul Kripke established a rule-skepticism, according to which any strategy to respond to it needs to provide facts determining that a subject is, e.g., following the rule of addition rather than that of quaddition. In this talk, I intend to propose a primitive-normative strategy to address the rule-skepticism. Firstly, I will reconstruct the skeptical argument, pointing out that the core issue is to solve the problem of rule-deviation. Then, an account of primitive normativity is proposed, based on the analysis of what is "seeming right" and what is "seeming wrong", to answer the deviation problem about rules. Finally, I will show that under my account, the primitive normativity and the public normativity are intrinsically interrelated, which can provide the source and foundation for the general phenomenon of normativity. This strategy relies on the regularity and primitive-normative attitude constructed by the subject in training, and it can satisfy both the factual and the normative conditions as required by the Kripkean skeptics. Theme: Rule-Skepticism and Primitive Normativity Link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69176693894?pwd=QYKntppjebxXIxI5d7UD1hm0mFNdCB.1 Code: APSE Time: 15:00-17:00, June 13th, 2024 Best wishes, Xinxin Gu (via Ella Berger)

Reminder: J. Nagel, "The Concept of Knowledge in Human Conversation" - PACE Metaphilosophical Talk Series

by Mariia Fedorova

Dear all, This is a friendly reminder for the third talk of the PACE Metaphilosophical Talk Series by Jennifer Nagel, University of Toronto Title: The Concept of Knowledge in Human Conversation Date: Tue June 11th, 2024 Time: 16:45-18:15 hrs  Location: Hörsaal 2, Hauptgebäude, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien Please mind that this time the event will take place at the main building of the University of Vienna. Abstract: Recent work in the sociology of conversation suggests that human communicative exchanges are generally structured around epistemic imbalances. One might wonder how empirical work on the representation of knowledge in conversation relates to philosophical work on the nature of knowledge itself. I argue that the best theoretical understanding of knowledge makes sense of the relevant empirical findings. If we take knowledge to be an essentially factive mental state, we can model conversation as a generative adversarial structure between speaker and addressee; this model explains why so much human conversation is curiosity-driven, and why human beings spend so much time in conversation with each other. We look forward to seeing you then! Best wishes, The PACE organising team https://pace.phl.univie.ac.at/

Einladung: Wie Faschismus funktioniert

by Jason Means

Liebe Kolleg*innen, sie sind herzlich eingeladen zu unserer Veranstaltung anlässlich der Veröffentlichung von Jason Stanleys deutschsprachigem Buch "Wie Faschismus funktioniert." DETAILS: Buchpräsentation und Podiumsdiskussion 8 Juli 2024, 17:00 - 19:30 Central European University, Quellenstrasse 51, 1100 Wien ÜBERLICK: Weltweit hat faschistische Politik wieder starken Zulauf: ob in den USA, in Myanmar, in Indien oder in Europa, wo mit Spannung auf die Wahlen vom 6. bis 9. Juni geblickt wird. Jason Stanley, der an der Yale University Philosophie lehrt, identifiziert in seinem Buch "Wie Faschismus funktioniert" zehn Säulen faschistischer Politik und zeichnet ihren erschreckenden Wiederaufstieg und ihre Geschichte nach: Ob das die Mythologisierung der Vergangenheit einer Nation ist, ein gegen die Wissenschaft und Experten gerichteter Anti-Intellektualismus oder auch die Kriminalisierung von Minderheitengruppen - diese Säulen formen die Sprache und die Überzeugungen, die Menschen in ein "Wir" und ein "Sie" unterteilen. Die faschistischen Taktiken greifen ineinander und entwickeln zusammen eine ungeheure Kraft, die letztlich eine für die Appelle einer autoritären Führung anfällige Gesellschaft formt. Stanley ist sich sicher: Nur wenn wir faschistische Politik erkennen, können wir ihren Auswirkungen widerstehen und zu demokratischen Idealen zurückkehren. Jason Stanley wird sein Buch präsentieren. Es folgt eine Diskussion mit Historiker Timothy Snyder, die von CEUs Rektorin Shalini Randeria moderiert wird. Anmeldung erforderlich: https://forms.office.com/e/YcxcYK3Rbc Eintritt kostenlos! Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil des FWF-geförderten Exzellenzclusters Knowledge in Crisis<https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/de/uber-uns>.

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

by Ralf Gisinger

Dear Colleagues, I would like to bring your attention to a CfP for a conference at our department in October: 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. _Program_ Friday, 18 October - 10:00am-04:00pm: Paper Session/CfP - 06:00pm: Online-Keynote by Silvia Federici Saturday, 19 October - 10:00am-06:00pm: Keynotes and discussions by Alex Demirović, Isabelle Garo, Isabell Lorey, Roberto Nigro, Johanna Oksala (on site) _Call for Papers_ Abstract (300-500 words) + short bio (150 words) in 1 PDF document Send to: foucaultmarx40.philosophie(a)univie.ac.at Deadline: 30.06.2024 You can expect our response until the end of July.

Webinar Kant und KI: 10. Juni, 17:00 bis 18:15 Uhr, mit Prof. Armin Grunwald

by Institut für Philosophie

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Immanuel Kant gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen der Aufklärung. Er rief den Menschen zu „Sapere aude!“ – trau Dich, selbst zu denken, anstatt andere für Dich denken zu lassen. Der Mut zum Selbstdenken wurde zum Kennzeichen der Aufklärung und der Wissenschaft. Heute diskutieren wir, ob Anwendungen der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI), uns im Beruf und Alltag vom mühsamen Selberdenken befreien können. Was würde Immanuel Kant zu KI sagen? Würde er uns zur digitalen Mündigkeit aufrufen? Diskutieren Sie diese und andere Fragen am 10. Juni, 17:00 bis 18:15 Uhr, mit Prof. Armin Grunwald, der uns Überlegungen dazu aus der Forschung der Technikethik und Technikphilosophie präsentieren wird. *Anmeldung*: „Entdecken Sie… Kant und KI <https://ticket.wien.gv.at/MDS/kantundki/>“ *Lebenslauf Prof. Armin Grunwald * Armin Grunwald, Prof. Dr., Studium von Physik, Mathematik und Philosophie.

C. Z. Elgin, "Iterative Explications" - PACE University of Vienna Metaphilosophical Talk Series

by Mariia Fedorova

Dear colleagues, The PACE Project (Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna) cordially invites you to the second talk of the Metaphilosophical Talk Series by Catherine Z. Elgin (University of Harvard) Title: Iterative Explications Date: Tue May 28th, 2024 Time: 16:45-18:15 hrs Location: Hörsaal II NIG Erdgeschoß, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien We are pleased to inform you that there will be an opportunity to be present at the talk online. A zoom link to join the event will be circulated shortly. Abstract: Carnap maintains that explication refines and sharpens everyday concepts, enabling them to perform rigorous philosophical and scientific functions. Building on Carnap and Chang, I argue that conceptual enhancement involves iterative explication. Each step is an improvement on its predecessor and sets the stage fur further conceptual refinement. I draw on familiar examples from the history of philosophy to illustrate the procedure and its benefits. Future Metaphilosophical Talk Series Talks: Tue June 11th, 2024, 16:45 – 18.15 hrs Jennifer Nagel, University of Toronto We look forward to seeing you then.

Gastvortrag PD Dr. Michael Schramm: Rhetorik, Politik und Philosophie im Neuplatonismus

by Institut für Philosophie

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, am Dienstag, dem 28.05.2024, findet von 18.00-19:30 Uhr in der Bibliothek der Klassische Philologie (Hauptgebäude der Universität, Universitätsring 1, Stiege 6, Hochparterre) ein Vortrag statt von PD Dr. Michael Schramm (Göttingen) zum Thema "Rhetorik, Politik und Philosophie im Neuplatonismus" Abstract: Die Neuplatoniker dachten nur an das Eine und den Aufstieg zu ihm, so lautete lange die Forschungsmeinung zur dominierenden philosophischen Richtung der Spätantike. Dass sich der Neuplatonismus auch mit politischer Philosophie beschäftigte, wird in den letzten Jahren zunehmend gesehen. Zu dieser gehört auch die Rhetorik. Trotz Platons Ablehnung der zeitgenössischen Rhetorik engagierten sich auch die Neuplatoniker in diesem Feld, theoretisch wie praktisch, und zwar in Konkurrenz zu den spätantiken Rhetorenschulen im Kampf um die höhere Bildung. Der Vortrag versucht am Beispiel des bislang für diese Frage wenig behandelten spätantiken Philosophen und Aristoteles-Kommentators Themistios (317-388/89), der mehr als 30 Jahre der erfolgreichste politische Redner seiner Zeit war, einige Linien dieser Auseinandersetzung zwischen Rhetorik und Philosophie in der Politik nachzuzeichnen und zu zeigen, wie sich ein Philosoph praktisch rhetorisch in der Politik engagieren konnte, ohne die Philosophie zu verraten. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Sven Meier – Institut für Klassische Philologie, Mittel- und Neulatein

The course should address the major challenges to democratic rights and freedoms raised by Digitization, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, while also engaging with the ethical and political dimensions of socio-ecological transformations such as loss of biodiversity, species extinction and climate change. The course is designed as a 2 SWS module (3ECTS) to be taught in the winter term 2024 as part of the new BA ‘Transformation Studies. ArtxScience’. The degree offers a transdisciplinary curriculum that lays out the theoretical and practical foundations for understanding change dynamics – both historically and present – at the intersection of scientific and artistic methods and practices. With this in mind, we are looking for an engaged scholar trained in political philosophy, applied ethics or human rights, ideally with a strong network of international contacts to social activists and/or human rights practitioners. Given the scope of topics and themes to be covered, the teaching method should combine self-taught classes with inputs from external guest speakers, specializing in relevant fields. Next to topical sessions and debates, special emphasis should be placed on practical exercises, workshops and case studies as well as field visits to allow for a rich and engaging learning experience. The renumeration follows the payment scheme for external lecturers of the KV for University Personal. Educational Requirements: Doctoral Degree Interested candidates should contact: Monika Halkort Head of School for Transformation Monika.halkort(a)uni-ak.ac.at

Reminder: Trans*formations: Talk by Alyosxa Tudor (SOAS London) - 16.5., 12:00

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, this is a reminder for the Trans*formations talk by Dr. Alyosxa Tudor (SOAS London) which will take place tomorrow :) Title: Decolonising Trans/Gender Studies? Abstract: In this talk, I would like to discuss with you what it means to think of trans/gender studies as a field that engages with geopolitics, with transnational knowledge production, with histories of entangled oppressions and resistance movements. With this I try to go beyond what our attackers think trans/gender studies is towards defining what the broader field of trans/gender studies can be. Can it be a field of knowledge generation that aims for decolonisation? How can we make sure that decolonisation is not a metaphor, as Eve Tuck and Wayne Yang remind us? How can we mobilise histories and the theories and epistemologies generated from them in ways that are not reductive, simplistic and incapable of sitting with the complex contradictions that still need responsible and decisive actions in face of present-day injustices? How can we be accountable for our very different structural positions in this quest, in terms of location, postcolonial position, migratisation, queer- and transness, class and racialisation? Often this is contradictory and painful. But it must also be clear that taking a stance is necessary. When/Where: 16.5.2024, HS 3A, Neues Institutsgebäude (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien) Thanks to the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy and the Institute of Philosophy for co-financing this talk series! Looking forward to seeing many of you there! All the best, Flora Löffelmann P.S.: Please also invite others that could be interested, you find the poster attached! -- 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"!

IVC Talk: Daniel Koenig on "Mathematics as Form of Knowledge in Ernst Cassirer's Philosophy of Culture", May 23, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Daniel Koenig, who will give a talk on May 23, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Daniel Koenig MATHEMATICS AS FORM OF KNOWLEDGE IN ERNST CASSIRER'S PHILOSOPHY OF CULTURE Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 23/05/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3F ABSTRACT: Both Ernst Cassirer's philosophy of mathematics and his philosophy of culture received more and more attention recently. Nevertheless, there is scarcely work on the relationship between the two and in my talk I want to show, that considering both sheds new light on Cassirer's conception of mathematics and, furthermore, his overall philosophy. In a first part I will show, that in Cassirer's interpretation, the concept of number plays a central role in determining mathematics and the natural sciences: Mathematics is here a form of theoretical knowledge. In a second part, I will broaden the perspective and consider Cassirer's reflections on nonscientific conceptions of number and show, that for Cassirer there is a double function of number. The talk will close with another expansion of perspective: I will elaborate how mathematics can further be understood as a form of meta-symbolic knowledge, and hereby give a characterization of Cassirer's conception of philosophy.

Lecture Jack Halberstam - mdw, 16.5., 17:00

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, I want to share this invitation to an event at mdw with you all! Event: Pre-opening: International Research Center Gender and Performativity Speaker: Jack Halberstam Title: Unworlding: Trans* Architectures When/where: Thursday, May 16th, 5pm at Großer Seminarraum (E0101), IKM / Anton-von-Webern-Platz 1, 1030 Wien Abstract: Today, I am going to lay out some ideas that build on many different aesthetic performances and practices involving trans bodies and that search for and produce new vocabularies for discussing transness and new deployments of transness for the project of dismantling world and worldedness as concepts that hold current political realities in place. I will look at trans anarchitectures alongside performances like Faye Driscoll’s incredible event, “Weathering,” to delineate what is meant by unworlding, what practices and aesthetic gestures it implies and what im/possible futures it imagines. Unworlding is a philosophy and an anti-anti-utopian idea that breaks with world-building projects (such as those found in early queer theory), and charts a course for queer and trans art that skews towards violence, acts of undoing and dismantling and the embrace of entropic unraveling. What might this look like in terms of a politics of representation, particularly one oriented around trans and queer bodies? Biography: Jack Halberstam is the David Feinson Professor of The Humanities at Columbia University. Halberstam is the author of seven books including: Skin Shows: Gothic Horror and the Technology of Monsters (Duke UP, 1995), Female Masculinity (Duke UP, 1998), In A Queer Time and Place (NYU Press, 2005), The Queer Art of Failure (Duke UP, 2011), Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender, and the End of Normal (Beacon Press, 2012) and, a short book titled Trans*: A Quick and Quirky Account of Gender Variance (University of California Press). Halberstam’s latest book, 2020 from Duke UP is titled Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire. Places Journal awarded Halberstam its Arcus/Places Prize in 2018 for innovative public scholarship on the relationship between gender, sexuality and the built environment. Halberstam is now finishing a second volume on wildness titled: Unworlding: An Aesthetics of Collapse. Halberstam was recently the subject of a short film titled “So We Moved” by Adam Pendleton. Halberstam was recently named a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow.

Khora Kolloquium am 16.05. 18:30 HS 3D: "Georges Bataille: Immanenz, Kommunikation und der Hass der Poesie"

by Adrian Fleisch

Liebe Kolleg:innen, Ich darf ganz herzlich zum Nächsten Khora-Kolloquium diesen Donnerstag, den 16.05. um 18:30 im Hörsaal 3D einladen. Dieses Mal wird uns mit Maximilian Margreiter ein ausgewiesener Bataille-Experte das Verhältnis von Poesie und dem Begriff des Unmöglichen bei Bataille vorstellen: *Immanenz, Kommunikation und der Hass der Poesie. Batailles Denken des Unmöglichen zwischen Literatur, Ökonomie und Erotik* Georges Batailles vielschichtiges und disparat wirkendes Werk kreist um ein zentrales Problem: Das Denken, und noch wichtiger, die Kommunikation des Unmöglichen. Dieses Unmögliche ist es, was uns nach Bataille als menschliche Wesen ausmacht und uns eine souveräne Existenz verleiht. Wir werden dem Unmöglichen unter anderem in den antiökonomischen Formen des Opfers, des Festes, der Verschwendung gewahr, welche sich dem Primat der Nützlichkeit entziehen, in der erotischen Ekstase, die eine Bejahung des Lebens bis in den Tod darstellt, und in der Literatur, insbesondere der Poesie, die die Kommunikation schlechthin ist. Im Unmöglichen findet sich nach Bataille das Subjekt wieder, als das, was es wirklich ist, als Riss, an dem eine intensive Kommunikation stattfindet, die in die Immanenz verweist. 1962, kurz vor seinem Tod, gibt Bataille seine Erzählung Der Hass der Poesie, versehen mit einem neuen Vorwort unter dem Titel Das Unmöglicheneu heraus. Diese Verbindung zwischen dem Unmöglichen und der Literatur, speziell in der Form der Poesie, die Bataille so an seinem Lebensende nochmals betont hat, eröffnet einen Zugang zu einem sonst oft kryptisch und unstrukturiert anmutenden Werk. Wie immer werden wir danach im Gagarin reservieren. Wir freuen uns auf euer Kommen. Bitte schreibt an mich oder an khoraplattform(a)gmail.com, wenn Ihr die behandelten kurzen Textpassagen zugesendet bekommen möchtet. Liebe Grüße Adrian Fleisch

Wittgen=steine: Two talks this term

by Martin Kusch

Dear All, The "Wittgen=steine" series (organized by the Wittgenstein Research Group) features two talks this term: April 12th, 2024; 3:00pm to 4:30pm, HS 3A: Pavel Arazim: "Therapie(n) als Methode(n) -- warum und wie? Vergleich der Antiphilosophie Wittgensteins und Bergsons" May 14th, 2024: 3:00pm to 4:30pm, HS 3A: Anna Boncompagni: "Once more with feeling" A feminist-Wittgensteinian take on language and liberation" Abstracts: Pavel Arazim: "Therapie(n) als Methode(n) - warum und wie?" Wittgenstein wurde bereits mit vielen Autor:innen verglichen, kaum aber mit Bergson. Dabei war er wohl der populärste Philosoph unmittelbar bevor Wittgenstein bekannt wurde. Schon deshalb liegt es nahe, die Möglichkeit eines Einflusses zu untersuchen. Darüber hinaus wurden beide Autoren von William James inspiriert und entwickeln seinen Ansatz weiter, philosophische Probleme eher aufzulösen, statt sie zu lösen. Folgende Fragen sollen im Vortrag behandelt werden: Was bedeutet es für Bergson und Wittgenstein, dass eine philosophische Frage verschwinden soll? Inwiefern lässt sich dieser Zugang als allgemeine Auffassung der Philosophie verteidigen? Soll also Philosophie keine Thesen aufstellen und mit welcher Begründung? Womöglich hilft Bergsons Zugang zu Bewegung und Veränderung zum besseren Verständnis dessen, was Wittgenstein zu dieser Methodologie führen konnte. Die Wirklichkeit ist lebendig und dynamisch, und deswegen kann sie nicht mittels verallgemeinernder Begriffe ausgedrückt werden. Mein Anliegen besteht darin aufzuzeigen, wie sich dieser therapeutische und anti-theoretische Zugang im Verständnis der Normativität bei beiden Autoren widerspiegelt. Anna Boncompagni: "Once more with feeling ..." Recent work in feminist epistemology and philosophy of language highlights how language use contributes to oppressive practices. For instance, Tirrell (2012), building on Wilfrid Sellars and Robert Brandom, analyzes the normative power of derogatory terms and how they engender harmful actions and behaviors. McGowan (2019), developing David Lewis' approach, claims that conversational contributions enact norms and permissibility facts both within the conversation and in social practices, thereby constituting harms and keeping oppressive practices in place. Both perspectives are indebted to the Wittgensteinian notion of language games. In this paper, I retrace this inheritance and further argue for a Wittgensteinian understanding of these phenomena, also appealing to his concepts of rule-following and forms of life. However, rather than oppression, I apply these insights to liberation: I claim that certain moves in language games enact positive changes in social norms and forms of life. In particular, I apply this approach to linguistic moves related to LGBTQ issues. This Wittgensteinian-feminist framework, I argue, helps better understand both the difficulties and the potentialities of liberatory and innovative conversational moves. Everybody welcome! Best wishes from the organizers, Esther Heinrich Anja Weiberg Martin Kusch

Trans*formations: Talk by Alosxa Tudor (SOAS London) - 16.5., 12:00

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, I want to cordially invite you to the second installment of the Trans*formations talk series! Trans* Philosophy is one of the most exciting 'new' strands of philosophical theorizing, and we are happy to host the second event on the topic at the Department of Philosophy, to be followed by more later this year. This time, we will be joined by Alyosxa Tudor, Chair of the Centre for Gender Studies at SOAS London. Their work connects trans and queer feminist approaches with transnational feminism and postcolonial studies. Alyosxa’s main research interest lies in analysing (knowledge productions on) migrations, diasporas and borders in relation to critiques of Eurocentrism and to processes of gendering and racialisation. Title: Decolonising Trans/Gender Studies? Abstract: In this talk, I would like to discuss with you what it means to think of trans/gender studies as a field that engages with geopolitics, with transnational knowledge production, with histories of entangled oppressions and resistance movements. With this I try to go beyond what our attackers think trans/gender studies is towards defining what the broader field of trans/gender studies can be. Can it be a field of knowledge generation that aims for decolonisation? How can we make sure that decolonisation is not a metaphor, as Eve Tuck and Wayne Yang remind us?

What We Owe to Nonhuman Animals" by Gary Steiner, 14.05, 16:45, 3C NiG

by VDS Philosophy

Dear All, You are very welcome to the talk "What We Owe to Nonhuman Animals" by Gary Steiner When: 14.05.2024 16:45 Where: Room 3C, Neues Institutsgebäude (NiG), 1010 Wien ABSTRACT Gary Steiner - Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Bucknell University, USA In this talk, Professor Steiner will provide an overview of central themes from his recent book What We Owe to Nonhuman Animals: The Historical Pretensions of Reason and the Ideal of Felt Kinship (Routledge, 2023). Where the Western philosophical tradition has maintained that the idea of human superiority over all non-human beings is a product of the impartial employment of reason, Professor Steiner argues that in fact the tradition has used reason as a tool for rationalizing this prior commitment to human superiority over the nonhuman world. Where the tradition has claimed that reason operates independently of our embodied and affective (emotional) constitution, Professor Steiner argues for the mutual interplay of reason and emotion in the formation of moral commitments, and he further argues for the conclusion that a great many nonhuman animals have rich subjective lives that in essential respects place them on a par with human beings. Rather than seeking to preserve the historical status of human beings as what Kant called "the titular lords of nature," we ought to broaden considerably our conception of the moral community so as to include all sentient beings as full and direct beneficiaries of moral concern. Snacks and drinks will be provided! The talk will be in English. If you have any questions, please contact Erich Linder (erich.linder(a)vetmeduni.ac.at).

work-in-progress talk by Ewelina Grądzka, “Propaedeutic of Philosophy: Austrian Influences on the Heritage of Polish Didactics of Philosophy“

by Dilek Divan

Dear all, you are cordially invited to a work-in-progress talk by Ewelina Grądzka (UPJPII, Kraków, POL), taking place on Wed 5 June 2024, on “Propaedeutic of Philosophy: Austrian Influences on the Heritage of Polish Didactics of Philosophy“. (abstract below) The talk will take place at NIG, Hörsaal 3F (R 313), from 13.15-14.45 and is public. Abstract: Propaedeutic of philosophy was introduced into the Polish educational system in the 19th c. during the Partitions while one part of Poland, called Galicia, belonged to the Austria-Hungarian Empire. In the paper, I will present how this heritage evolved and how it influenced Polish education after the independence in 1918. First, I will analyze a discussion in the 1920s among Polish philosophers on the goals and content of the future program of propaedeutic of philosophy that emphasized the need to evolve from the Austrian model of teaching psychology and logic only. Secondly, I will present the ideas of the central figure of that discussion, Kazimierz Twardowski. I will analyze how the program proposed by him evolved between 1921/1922 and 1935, from the confinement to psychology and logic to a program that included ethics, aesthetics, sociology and incorporated discussion as one of the methodological tools. Among the reasons for this development might be the influence of the discussion among Polish philosophers to which I refer in the paper, but also more general developments in education politics of the time, and finally reforms that took place in the Austrian school system since 1918/19. Unfortunately, the work on reforming the propaedeutics of philosophy was discontinued with the establishment of the communist regime in Poland after the Second World War. You are all very welcome, best wishes.

Register now: Workshop "Biasing Mechanisms in Scientific Research, 31 May - 1 June 2024, Leibniz University Hannover

by Institut für Philosophie

We cordially invite you to our workshop on "Biasing Mechanisms in Scientific Research" - registration is now open! *BIASING MECHANISMS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH <https://www.socrates.uni-hannover.de/en/news-events/upcoming-events/news/wo…>* * International Workshop Institute of Philosophy, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany 31 May - 1 June 2024* *Register now! (Deadline: 22 May 2024 23:59 CEST) <https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/LTAgixiqpztxbodd55uWnIGNgdqD0+eTy6KP…>* In the philosophy of science, recent work has led to an emerging consensus that science is not value-free, and that values, including social and political values, play different roles in the research process. It has also become clear that, values can have both a positive and a negative impact on science. Sometimes, values can contribute to science’s epistemic and social goals, while other times, they can have a detrimental effect on science’s epistemic goals, i.e., biasing research results. With this framework in mind, the main goal of this workshop is to clarify the negative roles of values in scientific research, and in particular their sometimes-biasing effects. While it is well-known that biases impact scientific research results, we have a less clear understanding of the different types of biases, their mechanisms, and their scope. The workshop includes talks by invited speakers Anke Büter (Aarhus University), Heather Douglas (Michigan State University), Jacob Stegenga (University of Cambridge), and David Teira (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia). There is no participation fee. The workshop language is English; the workshop is in-person only. See the workshop website <https://www.socrates.uni-hannover.de/en/news-events/upcoming-events/news/wo…> for the programme and more information.
