Invitation: APSE talk by Igor Grabovac & accompanying reading circle

by Ella Valerie Berger

Dear all, we warmly invite you to the next APSE (Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology) lecture and to the accompanying Reading Cycle. The talk will be held by Igor Grabovac (MedUni Wien). Title: From Pandoras Box to Pandoras Hope: Opening the Lid on Transdisciplinary Work in Public Health Date: Thursday, January 30th 2025 Reading Circle: 1pm - 3pm Talk: 3pm - 5 pm Location: Room 3A, NIG Abstract of the talk (3-5 PM): Climate change, armed conflicts, rising inequities, pandemics, and the displacement of large population groups constitute some of the most pressing current concerns for the discipline of Public Health. These complex issues require intersectional analyses and solutions--and a turn to transdisciplinary research. This need is commonly voiced in Public Health literature and increasingly enacted through funding calls and commissions. In this talk, I want to show how the over-reliance on biomedical knowledge and its accompanying reductionism has left Public Health not only "de-socialized," but current attempts to "add in" social science knowledge--as one pathway for transdisciplinarity--often fall short of the promise to transcend disciplinary boundaries and create more suitable types of knowledge. Starting with the work of John Ryle, Julius Tandler, and Andrija Stampar, I will provide a short overview of the historical development of Public Health and its separation from the field of Social Medicine. Using the examples of Michael Marmot and Camara Phyllis Jones on the "Social Determinants of Health," I will then present the changes in the field in its move towards structural explanations of health inequalities. Finally, I end on the work of Emily Yates-Doerr and her critique of the pervasive "determinants model," showcasing the potential, affordances, and demands of true transdisciplinarity in Public Health today. Reading Circle (1-3 PM): We will focus our discussion on a text by Paul Farmer (attached pdf): Farmer, P. (1996) 'On Suffering and Structural Violence: A View from Below', Daedalus (Cambridge, Mass.), 125(1), pp. 261-283. As introduction to the field, we suggest: Farmer, P.E. et al. (2006) 'Structural violence and clinical medicine', PLoS medicine, 3(10), pp. 1686-1691. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0030449.

Invitation: APSE talk by Stephan Hartmann & accompanying reading circle (DIFFERENT ROOM!)

by Ella Valerie Berger

Dear all, we warmly invite you to the next APSE (Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology) lecture and to the accompanying Reading Cycle. The talk will be held by Stephan Hartmann (LMU Munich). Title: Coherence and Truth Date: Thursday, January 23rd 2025 Reading Circle: 1pm - 3pm Talk: 3pm - 5 pm Location: this APSE event will exceptionally NOT take place in room 3A but in the "Konferenzzimmer" of the Department of Political Science (Institut für Politikwissenschaften). This room is located in the NIG, 2nd floor, in hallway A (the one at staircase 1). You can find the room on the floorplan here: Orientierung [1] Abstract of the talk (3-5 PM): One of the most important questions in epistemology is what our knowledge of the world is ultimately based on. In this context, some epistemologists argue that there are fundamental beliefs that do not themselves require justification and on which all other beliefs depend. Coherence theorists reject this answer and argue instead that our knowledge is based on the mutual support of the propositions under consideration: If our beliefs add up to a coherent whole, then we have a reason for them to be true. It has also been argued that much of scientific reasoning relies on coherence considerations. In this talk, we will first outline the coherence theory of justification and discuss some of the reasons for and against it. In doing so, we will also address the central question of what coherence actually is. For this purpose, a Bayesian framework proves particularly useful, as coherence considerations are most effective in the domain of uncertainty. We will then take a closer look at the relationship between coherence and truth. To what extent is the coherence of a set of propositions an indicator of its truth? Answering this question leads to some old and new challenges for the coherence theorist. The talk concludes with a moderately optimistic assessment of the role of coherence considerations in everyday life and in science. Reading Circle (1-3 PM): We will focus our discussion on Chapter 2 of Stephan Hartmann's book: Bovens, Luc, and Stephan Hartmann, '2 Coherence', Bayesian Epistemology (Oxford, 2004; online edn, Oxford Academic, 20 Jan. 2005), https://doi-org.uaccess.univie.ac.at/10.1093/0199269750.003.0003 (pdf in the attachment) As introduction to the field, we suggest: Olsson, Erik, "Coherentist Theories of Epistemic Justification", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Winter 2023 Edition), Edward N.

IVC Talk: Caterina del Sordo (IVC Fellow) on "Quasi-analysis Vs. Explication. The Early Carnap on Conceptual Engineering", January 16, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Caterina del Sorda (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on January 16, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Caterina del Sordo (IVC Fellow) QUASI-ANALYSIS VS. EXPLICATION. THE EARLY CARNAP ON CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date:16/01/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: This paper calls into question the thesis that early Carnap's rational reconstruction arises as a proto-version of his later and more mature idea of explication. The aim of the paper is to show that (1) according to the criteria of similarity, exactness, and fruitfulness, rational reconstruction qualifies as an explication, and that (2) according to their explanatory preconditions, rational reconstruction and explication emerge as processes of conceptual generalization and specification, respectively. To support (1), I consider rational reconstruction, in terms of early Carnap's quasi-analysis, as a representational theory of mathematical structures; to support (2), I rely on formal concept analysis as a common framework for comparing conceptual constructions.

Das Symposium findet am 30.01.2025 ab 10 Uhr im HS I in ETF (5.Stock) statt. Die Veranstaltung ist auch für die Online-Teilnehmer (nach Anmeldung) zugänglich. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auch unter folgendem Link. (https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/events/details/news/psychoanalyse-recht-…) Ich freue mich sehr auf euer Interesse und die Verbreitung der Information! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Kanau Kobayashi MA Institut für Philosophie ---------------------------------- Abstract: Im Jahr 2023 verstarb Pierre Legendre, einer der bedeutendsten Denker unserer Zeit. Seine Forschungsarbeit zeichnet sich insbesondere durch einen trans- und interdisziplinären Ansatz aus, der unterschiedliche Wissensgebiete miteinander in Verbindung bringt. Dazu zählen die Psychoanalyse, die Rechtsgeschichte und die Theologie bzw. Religionsgeschichte. Die Berücksichtigung dieser Spannungsfelder, in denen Legendre zufolge das Wissen über die Reproduktion der sprechenden Gattung Mensch aufbewahrt wird, führte ihn zu einer erneuerten Fokussierung der politisch- und sozialphilosophisch bedeutsamen Frage nach dem Verhältnis von menschlicher Existenz und Institution: Ist das Institutionelle für die menschliche Existenz etwas Äußerliches oder ist es ihr ein wesentlich zugehöriges Phänomen, ohne das sie selbst nicht sein könnte? Welcher Bedeutung kommt in dieser Hinsicht Legendres Begriff der „dogmatische Anthropologie“ zu? Diese Frage gewinnt in der heutigen Zeit zunehmend an Bedeutung, in der, wie Roberto Esposito treffend formuliert, konservative Institutionen und anti-institutionelle Praktiken jede politische Dialektik der Erneuerung zu verhindern scheinen. Obwohl die Relevanz seines Denkens für unsere Gegenwart mittlerweile als unbestritten gilt, befindet sich die Rezeption von Legends Werk im deutschsprachigen Raum noch im Anfangsstadium. Um die Erforschung des Werkes von Legendre weiter voranzutreiben und auch Kolleginnen und Kollegen auf sein Denken aufmerksam zu machen, orientiert sich das Symposium an folgenden leitenden Fragen: Was sind die theoretischen und ideengeschichtlichen Hintergründe seines Denkens? Wie und was ist unter dem Begriff der „dogmatischen Anthropologie“ zu verstehen und inwiefern kommt ihm eine herausragende Bedeutung zu, über das Verhältnis von Indivduum und Institution Auskunft zu geben? Anhand dieser Leitfragen zielt das Symposium darauf ab, die Relevanz und Aktualität von Legends Werk aus den Perspektiven von Recht, Religion und Psychoanalyse zu diskutieren. Damit soll nicht zuletzt sein Denken einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden.

REMINDER: Call for Applications - Summer School on History and Epistemology of Econometrics - Vienna July 2025

by Zarah Weiss

Summer School Call for Applications (Deadline: February 15, 2025) 23rd univie: summer school Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC) The History and Epistemology of Econometrics Vienna, July 7-11, 2025 https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/ Course Description Models and their econometric estimation play an increasingly important role in modern economic and political life. From macroeconomic policy and financial regulation to public health and climate policy, models contribute to shaping policies. The generation of ever more data is likely to support the proliferation of models and econometrics. Research resources in academia focus on the theoretical foundations of the underlying model and on the statistical methods of econometrics; much less attention is devoted to the epistemological challenges of the underlying concepts, the normative challenges of the everyday work with econometrics, and the application of its results in policy decisions and evaluation. The objective of this program is to increase attention amongst philosophers of science, academic economists, and empirical economists in policy institutions (eg, central banks) to these issues. The course is also structured around a particular point of view namely, that economics is a science of models and that most of the main features of econometrics relate generally to the role of models in science. Topics will be selected reflecting participants interests and may include: * History of econometrics to frame the philosophical issues to be discussed in the course * The Vienna Circle and econometrics * Values and Ethical Pitfalls in econometric research * Key philosophical issues of how models relate to the world and how they relate to each other * Data: observation, classification, and measurement of economic variables from a modeling point of view * Conceptual issues related to modeling randomness * The identification problem: how possibly, if at all possible, to map descriptive relations onto theoretical variables? * Issues related to optional stopping, search methodologies, and the proper interpretation of results obtained through search * Different approaches to the nature of causation and different strategies of causal inference * The conceptual basis of graphical causal modeling and controlled, natural, and field experiments * The conceptual issues surrounding the problem of model uncertainty, as well as some of the strategies economists use to address it Main Lecturers: Kevin D. Hoover (Duke University) Kevin D. Hoover is Professor of Economics and Philosophy and Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. He is the editor of the journal History of Political Economy and a past editor of the Journal of Economic Methodology. His current research addresses causality, causal inference in economics, the history of macroeconomics, philosophical issues related to the microfoundations of macroeconomics, and the engagement with economics of the American pragmatist philosopher Charles. S. Peirce. He is the author of The New Classical Macroeconomics, the Methodology of Empirical Macroeconomics, Causality in Macroeconomics, Applied Intermediate Macroeconomics, as well as many articles in monetary and macroeconomics, the history of economics, the philosophy of economics, and applied econometrics. Jennifer Jhun (Duke University) Jennifer Jhun is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Duke University, as well as a Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of Political Economy. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh. Her main research interests are in the philosophy of science, especially philosophy of economics, but also in issues in other areas, such as psychology and physics. She is currently engaged on a project that investigates antitrust from a historical and philosophy-of-science perspective: Whats the Point of ceteris Paribus? or, How to Understand Supply and Demand Curves. Philosophy of Science 85, no. 2 (2018): 271-292; Economics, Equilibrium Methods, and Multi-scale Modeling. Erkenntnis 86, no. 2 (2021): 457-472; Multi-Model Reasoning in Economics: The Case of COMPASS. Philosophy of Science 90, no. 4 (2023): 836-854; Implied Market Shares and Antitrust Markets as Fuzzy Sets. Forthcoming at The Antitrust Bulletin. (Joint with Matthew Panhans, Federal Trade Commission) Guest Lecturer: Marcel Boumans (University of Utrecht) Marcel Boumans is historian and philosopher of science at Utrecht University. His main research focus is on understanding empirical research practices in science outside the lab from a philosophy of science-in-practice perspective. He is particularly interested in the practices of measurement and modelling and the role of mathematics in social science. The first step in these practices is to make sense of the available data. Visualisations play an important role in this. His current research project Vision and Visualisation is nearing completion with a book manuscript Shaping the Phenomena. The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior researchers in philosophy of science and economics as well as empirical economists at policy institutions (eg, central banks) but the organizers also encourage applications from people in all stages of their career and from fields other than economics that apply advanced econometrics. Application form and further information: <https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/> https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/ USS-SWC operates under the academic supervision of an International Program Committee of distinguished philosophers, historians, and scientists.

Invitation: APSE talk by Laura Caponetto & accompanying reading circle

by Philosophie

Dear all, I warmly invite you to an upcoming APSE event on refusal. It consists of a talk by Laura Caponetto (Milan) entitled "Refusing - and Refusing to Obey" and an accompanying reading circle prior to the talk. Date: Thursday, January 16th Reading Circle: 1pm - 3pm Talk: 3pm - 5 pm Location: room 3A (NIG) After the talk, we will go out for dinner. Please write to veronika.lassl(a)univie.ac.at if you would like to join. Everyone is welcome to attend parts or all of this event! Abstract: We can do several different things with the word ‘No’. We can turn down an offer, decline an invitation, deny permission. We can engage in civil disobedience. In this talk, I aim to map these varieties and unpack the normative profile of refusal. I argue that refusal constitutes an illocutionary family comprising acts which have different felicity conditions but share the definitional normative function of preventing certain obligations from being created or waived. I begin by singling out what I take to be the paradigmatic case of refusal. I then broaden the picture a little, to consider speech acts that share ‘family resemblances’ with this paradigmatic case. And then I broaden it further, to look at speech acts that populate the ‘illocutionary neighborhood’, including ‘refusal to obey’. The talk expands upon my previous work on the topic (Caponetto 2023). While that work was primarily concerned with ‘upstream norms’ for refusing (i.e. the conditions under which refusal succeeds), I here focus on its ‘downstream norms’ – on the changes refusal effects on the normative landscape. Reading Circle: We will discuss Caponetto's 2023 paper "The pragmatic structure of refusal" (attached as a PDF), which is closely related to the topic of the talk. Please feel free to bring your lunch! The reading circle is open to everyone - please send a message to vinzenz.fischer(a)univie.ac.at if you want to attend. As an introduction to the field, we suggest: Green, M. (2020) . Speech acts. In E. N. Zalta (Ed.), The Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy (Fall 2021 Edition). https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2021/entries/speech-acts/ For further reading regarding the topic: Caponetto, L.

Webinar Invitation: Policy bias in economic research and the epistemological problems of econometrics: Lessons for designing economic policy processes | Jan 14, 3pm

by Zarah Weiss

Invitation Policy bias in economic research and the epistemological problems of econometrics: Lessons for designing economic policy processes SUERF BAFFI Bocconi webinar Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Online, Webex, 3-4.30 pm A recent paper finds considerable policy bias in economic research. Jelveh, Kogut and Naidu (2024) show that partisanship is detectable across fields and within fields, even across those estimating the same theoretical parameter. This poses serious challenges to economic policy development. Models and their econometric estimation play an increasingly important role in modern economic and political life. From macroeconomic policy and financial regulation to public health and climate policy, models contribute to shaping policies. The generation of ever more data is likely to support the proliferation of models and econometrics. Yet, research resources in academia focus on the theoretical foundations of the underlying model and on the statistical methods of econometrics; much less attention is devoted to the epistemological challenges of the underlying concepts, the normative challenges of the everyday work with models and econometrics as well as the inevitable role of expert judgement. Yet, understanding these challenges would be crucial to design policy processes that effectively address potential policy biases on economic policy development and ensure the integrity of that process. This SUERF panel discussion discusses how serious the policy bias in economic research is and how it affects policy development. Furthermore, panellists will explain how that policy bias is possible even when rigorous mathematical /statistical methods are employed. Finally, the panel suggests design features of economic policy development processes that improve its integrity in the face of the policy bias in economic research.
