Dear colleagues,
We would like to remind you that submissions for the Vienna Doctoral
School of Philosophy Summer School 2025, The Philosophy of Iris Murdoch,
are still open.
The details can be found below and on the summer school webpage:
https://pace.phl.univie.ac.at/the-philosophy-of-iris-murdoch/.
Instructors: Justin Broackes (Brown), Cathy Mason (CEU), Silvia
Caprioglio Panizza (UPCE/Tübingen), Rachael Wiseman (Liverpool)
Dates: July 14th-18th, 2025
Deadline for application: March 30th, 2025
Location: Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätstrasse 7, 1010 Wien
Overview of the Topic
Although Iris Murdoch is still best known for her novels, her
philosophical work is finally beginning to receive the recognition that
it deserves. An Oxford philosopher, educated during the Second World War
and later employed there as a lecturer, Murdoch’s philosophy marks a
significant departure from the dominant analytic tradition of her place
and time: a return to a philosophy deeply attuned to the human condition
and to metaphysical thinking. Murdoch’s ideas began to develop with a
critique of the prevailing approaches to language and thought, later
evolving into a novel conception of ethics. Engaged with both analytic
and continental traditions, she proposed vision as the basic category of
evaluation and freedom as the ability to see the world rightly, rather
than as detachment from it. As opposed to the amoral view of
metaphysics, she sought to reanimate the concept of a world that finds
meaning through “the Good”. She writes in dialogue with a diverse range
of philosophers, including Plato, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer,
Wittgenstein, Heidegger, French existentialists, and Derrida, among
others, and she has had a strong influence on some of today’s best-known
philosophers, including Cora Diamond, John McDowell, Martha Nussbaum,
and Charles Taylor.
The summer school aims to bring together promising young philosophers
with some of the leading experts on Murdoch’s philosophical work.
Participants will have the chance to engage with her major themes,
uncover less-explored aspects of her work, and contribute to the ongoing
discussion of her ideas with their own research.
Application & Fees
We welcome applications from PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and
advanced MA students in philosophy and related disciplines. To apply for
participation, please send the following documents to Matt Dougherty
(doughertym(a)ceu.edu):
1. Curriculum Vitae (max. 2 pages)
2. Statement of Purpose (no longer than 1 page), explaining the
relevance of the summer school to your study, research, teaching and/or
other professional work
3. Statement of Financial Aid (optional). We can offer partial financial
support (including the coverage of the school fees) to the participants
whose home institutions cannot cover their expenses. We therefore ask
the applicants who wish to be considered for funding to briefly describe
their situation in the statement.
4. Abstract (optional; max. 250 words). If you would like to present
your work at the summer school, please send us a short abstract of your
presentation. Since the number of slots for student presentations is
limited, this will help us decide on how to allocate them.
The summer school fee is 75 Euros. The fee includes the student union
fee of 25 Euros, which is required by Austrian law to register at the
University of Vienna and to receive a certificate of completion of the
summer school.
Please, submit your application by March 30, 23.59 CET.
Contact Email: doughertym(a)ceu.edu
We will notify you of the decision by April 7, 23.59 CET.

Betreff: Tagung - "Musikalische Berührungen. Zur Phänomenologie der Musik" (04.04-06.04.25)
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
vom 04. bis 06. April 2025 findet die philosophische Fachtagung "Musikalische Berührungen. Zur Phänomenologie der Musik" an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater (HMT) in Rostock statt.
In einem Dialog von musikphilosophischen und musikwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven geht es im Kern um die Kraft, Form und das Wesen der Musik:
Was ist Musik? Wie berührt sie Menschen? Was ist ihre Eigenstruktur? Was für eine Art Gegenstand ist Musik? Wie erklärt sich ihre Eindrücklichkeit und kulturelle Omnipräsenz? Freuen Sie sich auf eine Podiumsdiskussion, sieben Vorträge und einige musikalische Beiträge.
Es würde uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie diese Informationen mit dem Flyer im Anhang an die Mitglieder und Studierende Ihres Instituts weiterleiten könnten. Herzlichen Dank!
Mit besten Grüßen

Dear all,
I am delighted to invite you all to the fourth installment of the
Trans*formations talk series at the Department of Philosophy, University
of Vienna. The talk series provides insights into recent developments in
trans* philosophizing.
The next talk, "On the Cass Review: A Philosophy of Science Perspective"
will be given by Emelia Stanley, University of Vienna, on March 11,
2025, at 16:30 in HS 2H (NIG, 2nd Floor).
Abstract:
The Cass Review was a report commissioned by NHS England in 2020 to
recommend new practice guidelines in transgender healthcare for
children and adolescents, as well as to document problems with the
existing gender identity services. Following its release last year, it
was cited by both major political parties to justify the wholesale
closure of the services, a halt and then ban on the prescription of
puberty blockers to under 18s, and the suspension of a pending law to
outlaw conversion-therapy. A valuable case study as a piece of
scientific research and communication, this presentation examines the
scientific Cass Review from a philosophy of science perspective,
evaluating its conclusions and methodology with respect to notions of
evidential norms, standpoint epistemology, prejudicial attitudes, and
the current paradigm for trans* healthcare.
Bio:
Emelia Stanley is a Philosophy PhD candidate at the University of
Vienna. She is pursuing a thesis in the philosophy of logic and
mathematics, but writes independently about trans* issues in the UK
and abroad from a personal and philosophical perspective.
There will be drinks and snacks kindly provided by the Vienna Doctoral
School of Philosophy (VDP)!

Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Sebastian G. Speitel (IVC Fellow)
Mathematical Determinacy
Philosophy of Science Colloquium
The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows.
Date: 06/03/2025
Time: 16h45
Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3A
Abstract:
The existence of non-standard models of important mathematical theories, such as first-order Peano-Arithmetic, threatens to undermine the claim of the moderate mathematical realist that non-mysterious access to mathematical structures is possible on the basis of our best mathematical theories. The move to frameworks stronger than FOL to articulate ‘better’ versions of these theories is denied to the moderate realist on the grounds that it merely shifts the indeterminacy ‘one level up’ into the meta-theory by — illegitimately, — assuming determinacy of the notions needed to formulate such logics.
In this talk I want to outline the beginnings of a response to the determinacy challenge facing the moderate mathematical realist. I argue that the unique determinability of notions that enable categorical characterizations of important mathematical structures provides grounds for claiming naturalistically acceptable access to these structures, sufficient to resolve the determinacy challenge. I will illustrate the idea by showing how the mathematical realist may achieve arithmetical determinacy, and discuss ways to extend this approach to richer mathematical theories.
