Call for Applications (Deadline: March 15, 2023) CLIMATE SCIENCE: HISTORICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL ISSUES univie: summer school – Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC) Vienna, July 10–19, 2023 Since 2001, the University of Vienna and the Institute Vienna Circle hold an annual summer school dedicated to major current issues in the natural and the social sciences, their history and philosophy. The title of the program reflects the heritage of the Vienna Circle which promoted interdisciplinary and philosophical investigations based on solid disciplinary knowledge. Climate science, understood as an interdisciplinary field of study of the Earth’s climate and the causes and effects of climate change, is clearly of central importance today. The summer school will explore climate studies from a historical, philosophical, and sociological perspective. Topics to be covered will include: foundations and methodological issues relating to climate science, including various definitions of climate change, different types of models of climate change, and the use of simulations; further, historical roots and the development of climate science before and after the “computer age”; finally, issues concerning science policy and the communication of findings of climate science to a general public. Topics will be selected reflecting participants’ interests and may include: • Defining climate and climate change • Evidence for climate change • Modelling climate change: issues of confirmation and prediction • Climate change and decision theory • History of climate science as a research program • Climate science in the public debate Lecturers: Candis Callison (University of British Columbia) https://jwam.ubc.ca/profile/candis-callison/ Deborah Coen (Yale University) https://hshm.yale.edu/people/deborah-coen Eric Winsberg (University of South Florida) http://philosophy.usf.edu/faculty/ewinsberg/ The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior researchers in relevant fields, but the organizers also encourage applications from undergraduates and people in all stages of their career. Application form and further information: 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. Its members represent the scientific fields in the scope of USS-SWC, make contact to their home universities and will also support acknowledgement of courses taken by the students. The annual summer school is organised by the Institute Vienna Circle of the University of Vienna. https://wienerkreis.univie.ac.at/en/ Find information about our exchange programme with Duke University (North Carolina) here: https://international.univie.ac.at/en/international-cooperation/university-… Inquiries: Administrator: Zarah Weiss Institute Vienna Circle Alserstraße 23/32 1080 Wien summerschool.ivc(a)univie.ac.at Scientific director: Prof. Georg Schiemer Institute Vienna Circle Alserstraße 23/32 1080 Wien georg.schiemer(a)univie.ac.at

Fwd: CEU Summer School on Contemporary Issues in Ontology and Social Ontology

by Martin Kusch

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CEU Summer School on Contemporary Issues in Ontology and Social Ontology Date: 27.01.2023 09:07 From: "International Social Ontology Society" <ISOS(a)wildapricot.org> Reply-To: "Asya Passinsky" <asyapass(a)gmail.com> Central European University is offering a summer course on “Contemporary Issues in Ontology and Social Ontology [1]”. The course will be held July 17th to July 28th, 2023 in Budapest, Hungary. The faculty includes Mark Balaguer (Cal State LA), Talia Bettcher (Cal State LA), Åsa Burman (Stockholm), Esa Díaz-León (Barcelona), Alex Grzankowski (Birkbeck), Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU), Michaela McSweeney (Boston), and Asya Passinsky (CEU). Course description: Philosophers are becoming increasingly interested in real-world problems and in how their discipline is relevant to these problems. The recent explosion of interest in social ontology is part of a movement in philosophy to come down out of the ivory tower and engage with issues that actually matter—issues concerning, e.g., race, gender, and social justice. This course will introduce students to ontology, and to social ontology in particular, by delving deeply into numerous important issues in the field.  Specific topics to be covered in the course include the following: social justice, social construction, groups, social structures, ideal vs. non-ideal social ontology, social power, essentialism as it relates to social groups and genders, metaphysical grounding in the social realm, issues pertaining to mental health and moral responsibility, social theories of art, rationality, and mental content, and issues in meta social ontology. We invite applications from graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in philosophy. A few places for advanced undergraduate students will also be available. The application deadline is February 14th, 2023. For more information and details on how to apply, please visit the course website [1].

Barbara Muraca: Why protect nature? 25.01. || Student Colloquium on Decision Principles in Ethics, 26.01.

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear all, please be invited to the following two events: Barbara Muraca: Why protect nature? The multiple values of human-nature relationships and their relevance for policy Date: January 25, 2023 Time: 20:00 – 21.30 Location: Zoom Sign-up: eva.hijlkema(a)univie.ac.at Barbara Muraca is a Professor of Philosophy at The University of Oregon. Her research focuses on Environmental and Social Philosophy, Process Philosophy, and Political Ecology. Prior to working at University of Oregon she was Assistant Professor of Environmental and Social Philosophy at Oregon State University and Senior Researcher (Post-Doc) at the Center for Advanced Studies 'Post-growth Societies' at the Institute of Sociology of the University of Jena, Germany. From 2014 to 2020 she was co-director of the International Association for Environmental Philosophy (IAEP). Since Summer 2018 she is a Lead Author of the IPBES assessment on multiple values of nature (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services). Abstract: For decades the question about why nature should be protected has had two different answers: because nature matters for its own sake (intrinsic value), independent of how it affects people, or because of the benefits people derive from interacting with nature (instrumental value). While the first perspective rejects instrumental justifications for conservation and considers anthropocentrism as part of the problem, the second one highlights anthropocentric arguments and employs economic valuation to assess the importance of ecosystems to people. But does it have to be one or the other? Recent research suggests a third possibility: protecting nature because of the meaningful relationships that connect people to nature, and to each other through nature. These so-called relational values remain anthropocentric, but are not instrumental justifications for conservation. Since its development, the relational value framework has proven relevant for policy and in valuation studies across disciplines and has been adopted by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). The lecture will present the policy relevance of this old debate in environmental ethics and embed it into the way in which IPBES operates at the global level. Student Colloquium on Decision Principles in Ethics Date: January 26, 2023 Time: 11.30 – 14.45 Location: Hörsaal 3F (NIG) As a part of the research seminar ‘Decision Principles in Ethics’ the students will host a colloquium on ethical decision-making and its shortfalls in real scenarios. Please be invited to join! Schedule: 11.30 – 12.00 Pauline de Ronde and Julia Leturio: Should medical AI always be supervised by humans? 12.00 – 12.30 Ida Miczke and Jakob Lissy: How to choose whom to treat: triage planning during the Covid-19 pandemic 12.30 – 13.00 Ekkehard Tenschert and Felix Servus: How to judge someone’s estimated developmental capacities? 13.00 – 13.15 Break 13.15 – 13.45 Silvia Schori: An ethical dilemma with child labour in Senegal 13.45 – 14.15 Eduard Mastalski and Egzona Bokshi: The Covid-19 lockdown through an ethical framework 14.15 – 14.45 Eva Hijlkema: Is there a case for favouring evidence-backed choices over and above expected value? -- Eva Hijlkema, BSc Studienassistenz Univ.-Prof. Dr. Angela Kallhoff Universität Wien Institut für Philosophie Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien
