REMINDER: Call for Applications - Summer School on Global Health - Vienna July 2026

by Wiener Kreis Gesellschaft

*Summer School* *Call for Applications * *(Deadline: February 15, 2026)* ** *24^th univie: summer school – Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC)* *GLOBAL HEALTH*** *Vienna, July 6-10, 2026* *https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/* ** *Course Description* ‘Global health’ has attracted wide attention. This program will explore this interdisciplinary topic from a variety different but interrelated perspectives. First, global health reveals significant health disparities: but what causes these, and which disparities are unjust and demand redress? How types of social oppression – such as, racism and heterosexism – relate to health injustices will be explored, alongside investigating the contentious role of advocacy in public health. Second, global health reveals dilemmas between individual rights and communal benefits. For example, clinical trials funded by Western pharmaceutical companies benefit and exploit participants in low-income countries; measures to control the spread of Covid-19 protected and restricted individuals; and international differences in assisted dying legislation largely depend on how much a jurisdiction values individual autonomy. Such dilemmas are viewed through a philosophical bioethics/public health ethics lens. Third, global health will be explored from a sociological and humanistic perspective, emphasizing how health is shaped by global interdependencies, power relations, and cultural meanings. Moving beyond biomedical paradigms, the sociology of health can highlight the social, political, and epistemological dimensions of illness, care, and inequality. In addition, Graphic Medicine as an innovative visual and narrative approach to representing experiences of vulnerability and global crisis, will be introduced. *Topics*will be selected reflecting participants’ interests and may include: ·History of efforts to account for what causes public health disparities, and what makes a disparity an injustice/inequity in need of intervention ·Efforts to theorize how various types of social oppression relate to health injustices and the amelioration of those injustices ·Role of advocacy in public health, including limits on the roles of public health experts in crafting social policies around issues such as immigration and climate change ·Ethics of clinical trials by Western pharmaceutical companies that take place in low-income countries ·Justification for liberty-limiting measures to control the spread of Covid-19 around the globe ·International differences in forms of assisted dying and which, if any, are justifiable. ·The conceptual evolution from Public Health to One Health and Planetary Health, focusing on how sociological approaches reframe health as a relational and systemic phenomenon ·Postcolonial and decolonial perspectives, questioning how global health reproduces colonial hierarchies and epistemic injustices ·Visual storytelling: how comics and graphic narratives contribute to understanding emotional labour, care, and social inequality in health ** ** *Lecturers*: *Stephen Holland (University of York)* Stephen Holland is a Professor in the Departments of Philosophy and Health Sciences, University of York. Stephen’s main research interests are in ethics, including moral and political philosophy, bioethics, and public health ethics. As well as numerous articles, he is the author of ‘Bioethics: A Philosophical Introduction’ and ‘Public Health Ethics’, both published by Polity, and ‘Ethics and Governance of Public Health Information’, published by Rowman & Littlefield. He is currently working on a book on assisted dying, due to be published by Polity next year. *Veronica Moretti (University of Bologna)* Veronica Moretti is an Associate Professor at the University of Bologna and a member of the University Bioethics Committee. Her main research interests lie in the field of creative and participatory methods within the sociology of health and illness, and in the intersections between technology and human practices, with a specific emphasis on digital health theories. She is co-coordinator of the ESA Research Network 22 Sociology of Risk and Uncertainties, a board member of the European Society for Health and Medical Sociology (ESHMS), and one of the founders of Graphic Medicine Italia. Her latest publication, The Social Genre of Comics (Palgrave, 2025), investigates how comics can function as a social and epistemological genre within the humanities and social sciences. ** ** ** *Sean A. Valles (Michigan State University)* Sean A. Valles, PhD, is Professor and Director of the Michigan State University Center for Bioethics and Social Justice and Director of Learning Environment for the College of Human Medicine. Dr. Valles is a philosopher of health specializing in the ethical and evidentiary complexities of how social contexts combine to create patterns of inequitable health disparities. His work includes studying the challenges of responsibly using race and ethnicity concepts in monitoring health disparities, scrutinizing the rhetoric of the COVID-19 pandemic as an ‘unprecedented’ problem that could not be prepared for, and examining how biomedicine meshes with public health and population health. Dr. Valles is author of the 2018 book “Philosophy of Population Health: Philosophy for a New Public Health Era.” He is also co-editor of the Oxford University Press book series "Bioethics for Social Justice.” Dr. Valles received his PhD in history and philosophy of science from Indiana University Bloomington. ** *Application form and further information*: https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/application/ <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.

Martin Kusch, "Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle on Science and Relativism" - Physics meets Philosophy

by Sebastian Horvat

Dear all, You are hereby invited to the next "Physics meets Philosophy" talk (organized in cooperation with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information) by Martin Kusch (University of Vienna) Title: Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle on Science and Relativism (see abstract below) Date: January 21st (Wednesday) Time: 14:00-15:30 Location: IQOQI Seminar room (Boltzmanngasse 3, 2nd floor) Zoom link (for those that cannot join in person): https://univienna.zoom.us/j/62477829358?pwd=ClSjluALepJo9eqDxcrHz24QImDtu7.1 Abstract: I argue that there is a common theme in the later Ludwig Wittgenstein, in Philip Frank and Otto Neurath: that the philosophy of science needs to take seriously social-scientific perspectives on the sciences, and that such perspectives come with commitments to relativism.

Reminder: Workshop "Klassismus in der Lehre"/"Classism in (Teaching) Philosophy", January 20, 2026, 3-6 PM

by Leonie Möck

Liebe Kolleg*innen, liebe Lehrende der Philosophie, wir laden Sie zum Workshop *„Klassismuskritik in der Philosophie(lehre)“* am *20. Jänner 2026, 15-18 Uhr in 3A (NIG) *ein, der sich vor allem an alle Lehrende der akademischen Philosophie richtet. Wie lässt sich kritisches Denken und Handeln in einem Raum fördern, der nur begrenzt selbstkritisch ist? Und wie lässt sich machtkritisches Denken und Handeln fördern, wenn die Universität selbst von Machtverhältnissen geprägt ist, an deren Reproduktion wir als Lehrende und Wissenschaftler*innen beteiligt sind? Im Mittelpunkt dieses Workshops stehen die Auseinandersetzung mit Klassismus in der Philosophie(lehre), die Reflexion eigener Lehrpraktiken unter machtkritischer Perspektive sowie die gemeinsame Entwicklung klassismuskritischer Ansätze für Lehre und Lernräume (Workshopbeschreibung angehängt). Workshopleitung: *Dr. Lisa Scheer* (Zentrum für Lehrkompetenz, Universität Graz) Eine Vorbereitung ist nicht erforderlich. Anmeldung bitte über diesen *Link. <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe69hi_Gi3ulm8-mtn-L0Twgxc1TMd36GS…>* Wir freuen uns auf einen anregenden Austausch! Irene Salzmann & Leonie Möck organisiert im Rahmen von UPsalon & mit Unterstützung der VDP *********** Dear colleagues, dear philosophy teachers, We invite you to participate in the upcoming workshop *“Classism in (Teaching) Philosophy”* on *January 20 2026, 3-6 PM, room 3A (NIG)*, which is open to all teachers of academic Philosophy. How can critical thinking and practice be promoted in a place that is only self-critical to a limited extent? And how can power-critical thinking and practice be promoted when the university itself is characterized by power relations which we as teachers and academics reproduce too? Key themes of the workshop include reflecting on class-based exclusion and privilege in philosophy, developing strategies for class-critical teaching, exploring the boundaries and possibilities of academic freedom and institutional constraints (full description of workshop attached). Workshop facilitator: *Dr. Lisa Scheer *(Competence Center for University Teaching, University of Graz ) No prior preparation is required. Please register using the following *link <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe69hi_Gi3ulm8-mtn-L0Twgxc1TMd36GS…>.* We look forward to your participation and to engaging discussions!

Werkstatt Phänomenologie

by Georg Harfensteller

Liebe Kolleg_innen, wir möchten Sie herzlich zur nächsten Veranstaltung der *Werkstatt Phänomenologie* einladen: Dienstag, 13.01.26, um 18:00, Seminarraum 3A im NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien), 3. Stock. *Runder Tisch - Epoché: Zur Aktualität der Klammer* *Beschreibung:* Wie bei zahlreichen anderen prägenden Ereignissen unseres Lebens, können sich die meisten von uns in die Situation zurückversetzen, in der sie zum ersten Mal mit dem Wunder der Phänomenologie in Kontakt gekommen sind: dominiert von Verwirrung, Unglaube, aber auch einem diffusen Versprechen, eine neue Perspektive auf die Welt entdeckt zu haben. Die fast schon unumgänglichen Startschwierigkeiten hängen dabei nicht zuletzt mit den anspruchsvollen methodischen Voraussetzungen unserer Disziplin zusammen, paradigmatisch ist dies an der Urteilsenthaltung der Epoché. Für unseren ersten Runden Tisch der Werkstatt Phänomenologie haben wir uns daher vorgenommen, dieses fundamentale Werkzeug ein wenig zu entzaubern und seine Kritik und aktuellen Anwendungsfälle gemeinsam zu besprechen. Die husserlsche Phänomenologie, wie sie in den Ideen 1 dargelegt wird, findet ihre Grundlage in einer Geste, die genauso radikal wie umstritten ist: der transzendentalen Epoché, d.i. der Einklammerung der Thesis bezüglich der Existenz der natürlichen Welt. Diese zielt auf die Freilegung des reinen Bewusstseins ab, das die Grundlage für jede neue Theorie werden soll. Damit geht Husserl noch über den cartesischen Zweifel hinaus und begründet eine philosophische Tradition, die diese Methode jedoch nicht unhinterfragt übernimmt. Sowohl die bloße Möglichkeit einer solchen Ausschaltung jeglichen Existenzurteils als auch die Reinheit des phänomenologischen Residuums sind der Grund vielfältiger kritischer Auseinandersetzungen. Diese können sowohl ihre Historizität als auch ihre sozioökonomische Situiertheit betreffen, insofern sie den Zugang zu einer reinen, ahistorischen Transzendenz infrage stellen. Ist die Phänomenologie, wie Adorno und Horkheimer behaupten, eine bürgerliche Philosophie? Aber auch ihre grundlegend egologische Ausrichtung ist das Ziel bedeutender Kritiken: Lässt sich die gesamte Phänomenalität auf eine Subjektivität reduzieren, so transzendental sie auch sein mag, oder liegt hier nicht bereits eine problematische Blindheit gegenüber der Irreduzibilität von Alteritätsphänomenen, wie sie beispielsweise bei Levinas im Vordergrund stehen? Und vergisst der Fokus auf das reine Bewusstsein nicht auch die grundlegende Leiblichkeit jeder möglichen Erfahrung, wie sie bei Merleau-Ponty betont wird? Um diese und viele weitere Fragen an die Epoché zu diskutieren, möchten wir euch am 13. Januar 2026 zu einem runden Tisch im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe Werkstatt Phänomenologie einladen. In mehreren Beiträgen zu je zehn Minuten soll der Begriff grundgelegt und kritisch diskutiert werden, um die Frage nach der Aktualität der Klammer im philosophischen Tagesgeschehen zu stellen. Alle sind herzlich dazu eingeladen, mitzudiskutieren, egal in welchem Abschnitt des Studiums ihr euch befindet, bzw. ob und wie ihr universitär angebunden seid. Das Ziel ist es, eine lebendige, kritische und gegenseitig wertschätzende Diskussion zu ermöglichen, im Rahmen derer Verbindungen geknüpft und gestärkt werden können. Für das leibliche Wohl wird gesorgt. Für weitere Informationen und Kontaktmöglichkeiten: https://phaenomenologie.univie.ac.at/forschung/werkstatt-phaenomenologie/ Wir freuen uns auf euch, Claudia, Georg und Björn

Wittgen=steine talk this Friday

by Martin Kusch

Dear All, The next talk in the "Wittgenstein=steine" series is this Friday (June 13th) at 3pm in room NIG 3D. The speaker is Konstantin Deininger, and his title is: _"On the Material and Formal Aspects of (Moral) Certainty"_. Abstract: Does morality have a binding character in the sense that chains of justification come to an end? In this talk, I will affirm this question and argue that we can plausibly distinguish between formal and material aspects of moral certainty. As a starting point, I will interpret Wittgenstein's idea of "bedrock," introduced in §217 of the Philosophical Investigations, as standing for the end of a chain of reasoning. In doing so, I align with certain Wittgensteinian interpreters who maintain that some chains of moral reasoning end with certainty. However, I will arrive at deviating conclusions by demonstrating that different kinds of moral certainties function in different ways. Wittgensteinian scholars such as Cora Diamond and Nigel Pleasants correctly identify the formal aspect of moral certainty, showing that some propositions resist justification and doubt. However, the candidates for formal certainties they propose do not fully satisfy the criteria of certainty. This, I argue, is due to their failure to adequately distinguish between the formal and material aspects of certainty. Material certainties, such as Diamond's "slavery is unjust and insupportable" or Pleasants' "killing is wrong," remain intelligible to some extent and are thus subject to justification and doubt. Still, these propositions function as regress stoppers by putting an end to the chain of reasoning--but they do not mark the boundary of the unintelligible as formal certainties do. Drawing on Wittgenstein's later writings, I will argue that only formal certainties--which I refer to as transcendental certainties--are entirely exempt from justification and doubt. I identify the principle "equals are to be treated equally" as a plausible candidate for transcendental certainty. This certainty is foundational to moral reasoning and enables moral thought. I illustrate its role through debates on justice in animal ethics. Everybody welcome! Best wishes from the organizers, Esther Heinrich-Ramharter Anja Weiberg Martin Kusch
