Wittgen=steine tomorrow: Anne-Marie Søndergaard Christensen, "Wittgenstein and the difficulty of avoiding failures of decency"

by Martin Kusch

-------- Originalnachricht -------- BETREFF: Wittgen=steine: Two talks this term DATUM: 30.09.2024 08:37 VON: Martin Kusch <martin.kusch(a)univie.ac.at> AN: Hermes <hermes(a)lists.philo.at>, Forum <forum(a)lists.univie.ac.at> Dear All, The "Wittgen=steine" group organises a talk tomorrow: October 18th, 2024, 3:00pm to 4:30pm, HS 3B: Anne-Marie Søndergaard Christensen, "Wittgenstein and the difficulty of avoiding failures of decency" Abstract: Taking my lead from Wittgenstein, I will investigate the difficulties involved in acknowledging one's lack of decency and moral failures. After a short reflection on my use of the word 'decency', I will work to show that a vital reason why we have a tendency to avoid acknowledging our moral failures is that they bring into question our personal moral standing or moral position, and this will lead to an exploration of the idea of the personal dimension of ethics, touched upon by Wittgenstein in several remarks published in _Culture and Value_. The difficulties involved in acknowledging failure will also be illuminated through Hannah Arendt's interpretation of the Socratic slogan that it is worse to do what is unjust than to suffer it. Finally, I will look at different ways in which we may work to avoid acknowledgement of failure, through revision of our moral position or by using ordinary psychological measures of repression or forms of evasion such as aggressiveness, confabulation or deferral. I finally discuss how deferral is often a component in attempts to deflect our current failure to act appropriately in the light of climate change. Everybody welcome! Best wishes from the organizers, Esther Heinrich Anja Weiberg Martin Kusch

Invitation Conference "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles", October 18-19

by Ralf Gisinger

Dear colleagues, We'd like to invite you to the following conference at the department: _____________________________________________________________ Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles University of Vienna 18-19 October 2024 The international symposium "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles" aims to explore the tense relationship between Foucault and Marx and, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Foucault's death in 2024, to put it into perspective with regard to Foucault's intellectual legacy. Foucault is generally perceived as a harsh critic of Marxism, both in terms of its analytical possibilities and political dangers. This contrasts strongly not only with Foucault's repeated emphasis on the centrality of Marx, but also with clear theoretical parallels. The subject of the symposium is therefore the question of how this ambivalence is to be understood, what it means for possible continuations of the Foucauldian project and to what extent the Foucault-Marx connection can be made fruitful for current and future questions. No pre-registration, no fees.

However, these discussions have become so rich and entangled that now we can speak of a confusing "plurality of [scientific] pluralisms" (Wylie 2015). The overall goal of this workshop is to examine and clarify different ideas of scientific pluralism. While proponents of scientific pluralism argue that pluralism offers a range of epistemic benefits which are conducive to scientific progress (Chang, 2012, 2022), pluralism not only comes with benefits but also with costs (e.g., Lari and Mäki 2024). This raises the question of the conditions under which pluralism contributes to scientific progress and those under which it may impede it. In addition to its role in promoting progress, the relationship between pluralism and the social and institutional organisation of science is also a subject of growing debate. Given that science is significantly shaped by social values (Longino 1990), scientific pluralism is increasingly discussed in the context of social and epistemic diversity as a crucial element for objective and inclusive knowledge production. One of the primary subjects to be addressed is that of how diverse research groups can fruitfully collaborate in order to foster scientific progress, and what part institutions play in this process. The workshop investigates the complex relationship between scientific pluralism, epistemic diversity and scientific progress, both theoretically and through the examination of case studies. The overall goal is to discuss whether pluralism hinders or contributes to progress, and to explore the roles of institutional and social structures in this dynamic. A particular focus is put on the social sciences, with an emphasis on the fields of psychology and economics, but case studies from any other field of science are very welcome. _Workshop Themes and Questions:_ We invite submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following questions and themes: _1. Pluralism and Scientific Progress:_ * Under what specific conditions does pluralism contribute to scientific progress, and in what contexts might it impede progress? * How do different forms of pluralism (such as methodological, theoretical, and epistemic) affect the course of scientific progress across various disciplines? * What kind of progress are we talking about in relation to scientific pluralism? _2. Epistemic Diversity:_ * What is the link between epistemic and social diversity and (value) pluralism? * How does epistemic diversity within research teams and scientific communities influence the generation of knowledge? * What are the benefits and challenges of fostering epistemic diversity in scientific research, particularly in the social sciences? _3. __Social Organization and Institutional Structures:_ * What roles do social organization and institutional structures play in fostering or hindering pluralism and epistemic diversity in scientific research? * What institutional measures can be implemented to overcome barriers and promote a more inclusive and cooperative scientific environment? _4. Case Studies:_ * Which scientific fields, e.g. in the social sciences, are particularly interesting for investigating the relationship between pluralism, epistemic diversity, and progress? What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples of pluralistic approaches in the various scientific fields? * What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples where plurality seems to be lacking? _Submission Guidelines:_ We welcome submissions from scholars at all career stages and specially encourage PhD students and early career scholars to submit their work. Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words, including references, and must be prepared for anonymous review. Please send your abstract (300-500 words) in PDF format to pluralism.workshop(a)uni-wuppertal.de by 15.11.2024. _Key Dates:_ * Submission Deadline: 15.11.2024 * Notification of Acceptance: 15.12.2025 * Workshop Date: 27.-28.3.2025 _Organizing Committee:_ * Jeremias Düring, University of Wuppertal * Anastasiia Lazutkina, University of Wuppertal * Charlotte Constanze Poller, University of Wuppertal _Keynote Speakers:_ * Anna Alexandrova (University of Cambridge) * Paul Hoyningen-Huene (Leibniz University Hanover) * Inkeri Koskinen (University of Helsinki) * David Ludwig (Wageningen University & Research) For further information, please visit our workshop website at https://grk2696.de/scientific-pluralism-workshop/.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and to a stimulating a productive workshop! ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (München, Deadline: 15.12.2024) Munich Colloquium for Philosophy of Religion 2025 Globalizing Philosophy of Religion LMU Munich, February 19-20, 2025 The Munich Colloquium in Philosophy of Religion is a forum for early career philosophers (PhD students and PostDocs) from all fields and backgrounds working on issues in philosophy of religion. It offers an open space to present and discuss the participants' current projects. The colloquium is organized jointly by the chair for philosophy of religion (Sebastian Gäb) and the Romano Guardini chair (Ana Honnacker). In recent years, philosophy of religion has more and more been confronted with the charge of having reached a dead end. Critics argue that as a discipline, philosophy of religion is preoccupied with Western theism in its most scholastic version, and that it ignores non-Western and non-theist forms of religion. Instead of studying just one particular religion, it is argued, philosophers of religion should rather devote their attention to the phenomenon of religion itself, in all its different manifestations. Consequently, traditional philosophy of religion should be replaced with a new, globalized philosophy of religion, as e.g. Victoria Harrison, or Yujin Nagasawa have argued. The colloquium will focus on all issues in connection with the concept of a globalized philosophy of religion, for example: what methods should philosophers of religion use when engaging with non-Western religions? Can the concept of religion be applied globally? How can it be distinguished from cognate concepts like philosophy, dharma, or dao? What does 'religion' mean anyway? How could philosophers of religion cooperate fruitfully with researchers from other fields like religious studies or cultural studies? Are there examples of a successful global approach to particular problems in philosophy of religion? Deadline for submissions: December 15, 2024 Please submit an abstract for your presentation (25 minutes + 20 minutes Q&A) as email attachment to: s.gaeb(a)lmu.de. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (excluding references). Limited funds are available for travel support. https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/de/fakultaet/professur-fuer-religionsphiloso… ****************************************** (4) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Mainz und online, 14-15.11.2024) Normative Concepts in the Digital Age: Paradigm Shift or Piecemeal Engineering Wann und wo: 14. und 15.

Dies schafft Umstände, welche die philosophischen Grundlagen unserer ethischen, sozialen und politischen Urteile intensiven Prüfungen unterziehen. Die Integration digitaler Technologien in das Gefüge der Gesellschaft stellt uns vor neue Herausforderungen, eröffnet aber auch neue Möglichkeiten, normative Konzepte, die für viele philosophische Überlegungen zentral sind, neu zu untersuchen. Das Ziel dieser Konferenz ist es, Forscher:innen eine Plattform zu bieten, um das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen digitaler Technologie und normativer Philosophie zu untersuchen. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir für die Veranstaltungen eine Reihe hervorragender Sprecher:innen gewinnen konnten, unter anderem Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, John Danaher und Karoline Reinhardt. Zum Abschluss des ersten Konferenztages wird die Pianistin Jennifer Klein im Kalkhof-Rose-Saal einen musikalischen Beitrag leisten.

Invitation: Trans*formations talk by Eric Llaveria Caselles, October 18th 2024 - also ONLINE!

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is my pleasure to invite you to the third installment of the Trans*formations talk series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna, which provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. This time, Eric Llaveria Caselles, currently working at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin, will give a talk titled "Epistemic Violence and Trans Theory. A Cartography of Minor Truths." When: Friday, October 18th 2024 15:00 - 16:30 Where: HS 3B, 3. Stock Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien If you want to follow the talk online, please join using the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/67838003396?pwd=jmudw0UhAfnZdnkbYipm1ARVS0B28a.1 Kenncode: 0000 Abstract: For the transsexual subject to be able to emerge as a source of credible speech, a fundamental critique of the western epistemic and symbolic order had to gain traction. When Susan Stryker stood up at a Lesbian and Gay History conference in New York in 1995 and yelled “I am a transsexual and I am not sick!”, she reclaimed the participation of the transsexual intellectual in the production of truths, refuting discourses of dehumanization. This inaugural scene of Trans Studies places the undoing of epistemic violence as both a precondition and a fundamental commitment of trans theoretical practice. But what does this commitment to emancipatory forms of knowledge production entail? What are the contradictions of aspiring to anti-normative purity? What conversations can we build on the repeated condemnation of those reproducing symbolic violence? Does this commitment not miss the practical reason of cultural narratives? And is it possible to separate the epistemic violence from our sense of self, our needs and desires? Do the voices of trans people really hold the key to an emancipatory meaning? And if we betray the idea that we just need to let trans people speak, what then can hold the possibility of undoing epistemic violence? In this talk, I reflect on these questions based on my own research trajectory, which spans topics such as trans subcultural spaces, neuroscientific studies of (trans)gender identity and trans social reproduction in global capitalism. The talk traces the shifts of my theoretical practice by building a personal cartography of minor truths. I take the term “minor truths” from the title of a show by the artist Spence Messih. Their glasswork compositions and philosophical considerations introduce a phenomenological sensibility in my analysis, inspiring me to search for a language that reflects the inseparability of theoretical standpoint from affective states, social relationships and political conjunctures. In conversation with Messih’s work, the talk evolves in a non-linear motion connecting five modes of epistemic experience: abstraction, vulnerability, praxeology, dialogue and betrayal. Bio: Eric Llaveria Caselles is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin. His recent publications explore the limitations of gender identity positivism and queer deconstructivism as the two main approaches to trans theory. His research builds on current trans Marxist proposals and historical materialist traditions of gender theory to set the groundwork for an alternative framework in Trans Studies.

VDP Academic Writing Workshop From First to Final Draft: Revising Academic Texts - Markus Rheindorf Tuesday, October 15, 2024, 13:00 - 14:30 Room 3A, NIG 3rd floor, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Vienna For the winter semester 2024-25, the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (VDP) and the Early Career Scholars Working Group of the East European Network for Philosophy of Science (EENPS) are planning a hybrid kick-off workshop to start into our weekly Writing Evenings. The Academic Writing Workshop “_From First to Final Draft: Revising Academic Texts_” will focus on strategies for revising and finalizing academic texts. The workshop covers the different aspects and stages of reworking and revising academic texts at PhD level. This includes recognizing issues and translating feedback into concrete issues. We will cover structural revisions (paragraphs, connecting paragraphs, argumentation structure), reading flow, style (personal/impersonal, vague/precise), positioning (critique of sources, confident position), and succinctness (concise phrasing to reduce word count). The workshop is tailored to PhD-Students, but master’s students are also welcome to join. To register, please send a short email to lisa.tragbar(a)univie.ac.at, indicating whether you would like to join online or in person. The zoom link will be sent out about an hour in advance. Optionally join our Writing Evening afterwards, 15:00-19:00, NIG, 3A VDP Writing Evenings Winter Semester 2024-25 Tuesdays, 15:00-19:00, Room 3A, NIG 3rd floor, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Vienna The VDP Writing Evenings provide an opportunity for focused work on dissertations and academic texts. They are accessible to philosophy PhD candidates, advanced master's students, or anyone in between. On Tuesdays*, 15:00-19:00, it's writing o'clock in Room 3A.

Join the Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy: Open Get-Together This Friday

by Alina Sophie Jacobs

Dear all, I would like to introduce you to the Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy. The Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy is a student organization that promotes research, exchange, and discussion among students and scholars. For this purpose, we organize regular meetings, lectures, workshops, and conferences and foster national and international contact with individuals and groups interested in analytic philosophy. Our members are students from all levels and backgrounds, creating a space for fruitful and rich discussions. More information is available on our website: https://wfap.philo.at. During the semester, we meet every Friday from 18:30-20:00, in HS 3B (NIG) to discuss various papers related to our annual conference topic and also individual interests. Our next meeting will take place this Friday, October 11th, at 18:30 in HS 3B. This meeting will be an open get-together; no previous reading is required! If you are interested, please join any of the upcoming sessions and see if the Forum is for you. You can then decide if you want to become a member.
