Khôra Kolloquium: Zum literarischen Moment des philosophischen Schreibens (Maurice Blanchot), 11.04. 2024, 18:30, HS 3D NIG

by Sebastian Krach

Sehr geehrte Kolleg:innen, ich möchte Sie im Namen von Khôra herzlich zum nächsten Kolloquium einladen. Termin: 11.04.2024, 18:30 - 20:00, Hörsaal 3D, Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG) Thema: Aus der Nacht in die Nacht – Zum literarischen Moment des philosophischen Schreibens (Maurice Blanchot) und einem Input von Ana Drujan: Genauso, wie Blanchot über die Literatur schreibt, dass sie als Negation ihrer Selbst nichtig, illegitim und eine Täuschung ist, könnte man dies auch über die Philosophie behaupten. Die Forderung nach einem philosophischen Schreiben der Diskontinuität und des Fragmentarischen, die er dabei verhandelt, kann damit auch gelesen werden als eine Forderung nach einer Philosophie, die in ihrer Form der Literatur oder gar der Lyrik ähnelt: Eine Philosophie, die den Tod in ihrem Rücken sieht und aus der Leere des Grabes die Wirklichkeit seiner Sprache schöpft. Eine Philosophie der Mehrdeutigkeit, die als unbestimmte Negation aus dem Negieren heraus eine unscharfe Vielheit erschafft, die das Unerklärliche vergegenwärtigen kann. Könnte eine Philosophie, die in ihrem Schreiben ein Moment des Literarischen enthält, ein unvergängliches Werk sein, wie Blanchot in Anlehnung an Hegel schreibt? https://kammerlphilosophieblog.wordpress.com/2024/03/12/uberlegungen-zum-fr… Einen Text zum Thema senden wir gerne auf Anfrage aus. Weitere Informationen sowie eine Mailingliste finden Sie auf unserer Homepage. https://www.khora.philo.at/ Danach ist im Café Gagarin reserviert, wo wir den Abend gemeinsam ausklingen lassen. Wir freuen uns auf euch! Liebe Grüße Sebastian Krach

Guest Lecture, Thinking with Susanne Langer, Lona Gaikis: 18:00, 11 April, Musicology Dept. HS 1

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear Colleagues in the Philosophy Department, *Guest Lecture, Lona Gaikis, 'Art as a Life Form: Thinking with Susanne K. Langer: 18:00, 11 April, Musicology Dept., HS 1* I'm delighted to invite you to a guest lecture by Lona Gaikis, who will be introducing us the thought of German-American philosopher Susanne Langer. Langer's philosophy of music has long been neglected by the musicological establishment, but fortunately that is changing, as evidenced by the recently published /Bloomsbury Handbook of Susanne K. Langer/ (2024), edited by Ms Gaikis. As well as lecturing at various universities in Austria, Ms Gaikis also runs the sonic and music experimental platform czirp czirp, which hosts works by various international sonic media artists. In her talk she will also be discussing how Langer's thought can help us to understand some of this avant garde work. More information can be found on the Musicology Dept. website, here <https://musikwissenschaft.univie.ac.at/detailansicht/news/gastvortrag-lona-…>. With warmest regards, Marc Brooks -- *Ass.-Prof. Dr. Marc Brooks *Department of Musicology, University of Vienna Spitalgasse 2, Hof 9 (Campus) A-1090 Wien, AUSTRIA e: marc.brooks(a)univie.ac.at w: https://musikwissenschaft.univie.ac.at/ueber-uns/team/brooks/

Fwd: [Khoraplattform] Cinesophie 21.03.

by Adrian Fleisch

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Khoraplattform] Cinesophie 20.03. Datum: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 16:40:26 +0100 Von: Julian via Khoraplattform <khoraplattform(a)lists.philo.at> Antwort an: Julian <j.hoeckner(a)inext.at> An: Adrian Fleisch via Khoraplattform <khoraplattform(a)lists.philo.at> Liebe Kolleg:innen, morgen (Donnerstag, 21.03.) wird es wieder 'cinesophisch'! Nachdem wir uns letzte Woche anlässlich seines 100. Todesjahres schon mit Franz Kafka befasst haben, widmen wir uns dieses Mal seiner Rezeption im Film. Zu Kafkas Lebzeiten steckte das Kino als ästhetisches Medium noch in den Kinderschuhen. Umso spannender is es zu beobachten, wie seine literarischen Experimente Eingang in die Geschichte des Films gefunden haben. 'Kafkaesk' sind nicht nur die ikonischen Verfilmungen von Orson Welles ("Der Prozess"), Michael Haneke ("Das Schloss") oder die strengen Adaptionen von Straub/Huillet (u.a. "Klassenverhältnisse", "Schakale und Araber"). Von den schwindelerregenden Bürokratieungetümern bei Terry Gilliam ("Brazil") bis zu den gruseligen Metamorphosen bei D. Lynch ("Eraserhead) oder D. Cronenberg ("The Fly", "Videodrome") zieht sich eine Spur des Kafkaesken durch das filmische Imaginäre des 20. Jahrhunderts. In gewohnter Manier stellen wir eine kleine Liste zur Auswahl und entscheiden uns gemeinsam für einen Film: Orson Welles - Der Prozess (1962) David Lynch - Eraserhead (1977) Jim Jarmusch - Dead Man (1995) Darren Aronofsky - Pi (1998) Wir freuen uns auf Euch! Beste Grüße Julian Höckner

IVC Talk: Adrien Champougny on "Reverse Mathematics: Why Should the Philosopher Care About It?", April 4, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, next week, there will be a little Easter break. Please note that our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Adrien Champougny (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on April 4, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Adrien Champougny Reverse Mathematics: Why Should the Philosopher Care About It? Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 04/04/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3F Abstract: Reverse mathematics is a sub-field of mathematical logic. It is used to, a certain theorem t being given, be able to identify exactly what is needed to prove t. The goal of this talk is to provide a brief introduction to reverse mathematics and to give a few insights on why it is an interesting subject from a philosophical point of view. I will show how the founding fathers of reverse mathematics (that is Harvey Friedeman and Steven Simpson) offered a first philosophical reading of their work that was mainly ontological in character: according to their view, the goal of reverse mathematics is to identify “[…] which set existence axioms are needed to prove the known theorems of mathematics” [Simpson,2009]. I will then present another way to see the philosophical interest of reverse mathematics that is more focused on the epistemological side. This reading rests on a simple idea: all other things being equal, one has a deeper epistemological control over a constructive proof than over an unconstructive one (I will try to make this concept precise in the course of the presentation). According to this reading, reverse mathematics can be seen as a way to evaluate what kind of knowledge we can hope to acquire concerning a particular mathematical theorem. Finally, assuming that time permits, I will close my presentation by mentioning a new field of research started by Benedict Eastaugh and Walter Dean: reverse philosophy. The idea in this field is to find an argument in philosophy that somehow rests on a mathematical theorem and to show that this mathematical theorem necessitates some non-trivial mathematical resources to be proven.
