[reminder] CFA: Workshop on Truth, Definability and Quantification into Sentence Position

by Lena Golker

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Workshop on Truth, Definability and Quantification into Sentence Position 27 and 28 September 2024, University of Vienna Jointly organised by Max Kölbel, Julio de Rizzo and Benjamin Schnieder -------- Can truth be defined? Frege argued that it couldn't. Ramsey argued that defining it would be easy if only we had an analysis of judgement. Today Horwich claims that truth cannot be defined explicitly because doing so would require quantification into sentence position and such quantification is not coherent. Instead he proposes a "minimal theory" of truth, which comprises all the unproblematic instances of the equivalence schema. Künne, by contrast, argues that quantification into sentence position is coherent and may actually be part of some natural languages. Künne uses such quantification to define truth explicitly: ∀x (x is true iff ∃p ((x is the proposition that p) & p)). Or in English: a representation (belief, assertion etc) is true just if things are as it represents them as being. Künne claims also to find this definition in Frank Ramsey's posthumous work, which, as an exegetical claim, is not uncontroversial. Is truth definable? Is propositional quantification coherent? Do natural languages involve propositional quantification, and in what sense? What do the answers to these questions mean for philosophical attempts to define or explain truth? Is truth redundant if explicitly definable? Not redundant if not explicitly definable? We are interested in these and related questions (broadly conceived). -------- Confirmed speakers are: Peter Fritz (Australian Catholic University) Paul Horwich (New York University) Wolfgang Künne (University of Hamburg) Poppy Mankowitz (University of Bristol) Cheryl Misak (University of Toronto) -------- We invite submissions of extended abstracts (1000 words max.) for up to 3 further talks. Please send your anonymized abstracts by 22 March 2024 to truthwien(a)gmail.com. Selected speakers will be notified by mid April. We will cover accommodation of selected speakers (and on application offer them a travel subsidy of up to 400 Euros). This workshop is supported by the FWF Cluster of Excellence project "Knowledge in Crisis", the FWF project "Truth is Grounded in Facts" and the University of Vienna.

IVC Talk: Christian J. Feldbacher-Escamilla on "Rudolf Carnap's Approach to the Problem of Induction", March 14, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is IVC fellow Christian J. Feldbacher-Escamilla (University of Cologne), who will give a talk on March 14, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM TALK: CHRISTIAN J. FELDBACHER-ESCAMILLA (IVC FELLOW) RUDOLF CARNAP'S APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF INDUCTION Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 14/03/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3F ABSTRACT: In Rudolf Carnap's work on inductive logic (starting with his 1950), he challenged the traditional view that inductive methods contradict empiricism due to their reliance on a synthetic a priori uniformity assumption. Carnap proposed a logical alternative to frequentist probability, advocating for a probabilistic uniformity assumption. He aimed to categorize all probabilistic statements as analytical and part of an inductive logic. Despite these efforts, we want to argue that Carnap's account has gaps. It remains to be proven that from his system a probabilistic statement about nature's uniformity can be derived. Additionally, his approach seems to require meta-probabilistic reasoning, which, at least at first sight, seems to face the problem of triggering an infinite regress and leaving his account to induction incomplete.

CfP Tagung Materialistisch-(queer)feministischen Perspektiven auf Gewalt

by Flora Löffelmann

Liebe alle, ich darf euch herzlich um eure Einreichungen zu diesem CfP für die Tagung "Materialistisch-(queer)feministische Perspektiven auf Gewalt" (5. bis 7.12.2024) an der Uni Innsbruck bitten. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Gewalt aus einer materialistisch-(queer-)feministischen Perspektive macht deutlich, dass sie in ihren unterschiedlichen Formen mit gesellschaftlichen Strukturen verwoben ist. Aus dieser Perspektive gilt es, Institutionen, ökonomische Zwänge und Bedingungen, Praktiken sowie Wissensformen sichtbar zu machen, die cis-heteronormative, patriarchale, rassistische, postkoloniale, klassistische gesellschaftliche Strukturen normalisieren und auf diese Weise ein Bedingungsgefüge für vielfältige Formen vergeschlechtlichter, sexualisierter und normativer Gewalt hervorbringen. Die Überlegungen zu Kapitalismus als mehrdimensionalem Gewaltverhältnis stellen den Ausgangspunkt für die Tagung dar, um die Komplexität von Gewaltverhältnissen, -strukturen, -handlungen und -diskursen im gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Kontext zu erfassen. Ziel der Tagung ist es, theoretische und empirische Perspektiven auf Kapitalismus als intersektionale Gesellschaftsformation zu entwickeln, die Gewalt strukturell produziert und reproduziert. Wir wollen ausloten, wie aus materialistisch-(queer)feministischer Perspektive Gewalt als Ausbeutung, Gewalt als Verhinderung von Lebenschancen und Sicherheit sowie Gewalt als Normierung konzeptualisiert werden kann, die sich in die Konstitution von vergeschlechtlichten, sexualisierten, rassifizierten und klassierten Subjekten, Körpern und Bevölkerungen einschreibt. Angesichts der multiplen Krisen der Gegenwart wollen wir zudem diskutieren, welche theoretischen und konzeptuellen Werkzeuge erforderlich sind, um autoritären Antifeminismus, steigende Queer- und Transfeindlichkeit sowie Angriffe auf körperliche Selbstbestimmung zu bekämpfen. Mehr dazu im CfP :) Mit lieben Grüßen, Flora Löffelmann -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!

APSE TALK: Jeremy Butterfield | Emergent Ontology and Structural Realism: Quantities as Objects and Objects as Quantities

by Zarah Weiss

APSE TALK: Jeremy Butterfield | Emergent Ontology and Structural Realism: Quantities as Objects and Objects as Quantities Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistomology Talk Series A series of talks organized by APSE (Department of Philosophy). More information here: apse.univie.ac.at/news-events/apse-talks/ Date: 07/03/2024 Time: 15h00 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3A Abstract: My current research centers on the question of how to adjudicate an appropriate background logic for axiomatizations of mathematics. Currently, first-order logics are the default background logic. They have the advantage of being simple yet expressive, deductively complete, but has two main disadvantages. The first is that it is not categorical, which means that there are infinitely many non-isomorphic models for e.g., the natural number sequence 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . -- most including strange entities like "non-standard" numbers capable of being greater than all natural numbers, and in which addition and multiplication aren't computable! The second disadvantage is that making first-order logics expressive enough to axiomatize the natural numbers renders it incomplete! In many ways, first-order logics simply are not up to the task. Second-order logics are deductively incomplete, but have the advantage of being categorical, which makes them far more suitable to talk with precision about a mathematical structure. As such, I intend to use the history of model theory as of scientific progress and decision-making with respect to our background theories when the advantages and disadvantages aren't themselves decisive. But first, this history must be generated, and the early history of model theory is what I will focus on for this talk. All are welcome!
