[News] CFA: Summer School with Kit Fine on Decision Making under Parity

Dear colleagues, Benjamin Schnieder and I are organizing a summer school - please forward to anyone who might be interested in participating: The phlox research group is delighted to announce that the 2026 Hamburg/Vienna Summer School will be taught by Kit Fine (NYU). This year’s topic will be *Decision Making under Parity*. *Description* How should we do decision theory without making the assumption that preferences are linearly ordered? We shall first consider two standard approaches to this question, one in terms of approximate value and the other in terms of a range of precise values. We shall then develop our own approach, which uses the notion of an approximate difference in value between two items in place of the notion of the approximate value of a single item. The course will cover a range of philosophical and technical issues. The event will take place from Monday, July 20th to Friday, July 24th at the University of Vienna. For more information, please visit https://hamburgersommerkurs.wordpress.com *Call for attendance* We very much welcome external participants to the Summer School, though only a limited number of spaces are available. If you would like to participate, please send a registration email, attaching (i) a brief CV, and (ii) a short letter indicating how the course would benefit your work, to phlox-school (at) gmx (dot) de Registration is open until April 30th; we will notify applicants by the 10th of May. Best wishes, Yannic Kappes
