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? Programm [1 [1]] | Abstracts [2 [2]] Anmeldung bis 18. Oktober an kgpw(a)oeaw.ac.at Links: ------ [1] https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/kommissionen/kgpw/events/Programm_Wissensc… [2] https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/kommissionen/kgpw/events/Abstracts_Wissens… Links: ------ [1] https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/kommissionen/kgpw/events/Programm_Wissensc… [2] https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/kommissionen/kgpw/events/Abstracts_Wissens…

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.
