Dear all,
We are happy to invite you to the first APSE (Applied Philosophy of
Science and Epistemology) lecture of the semester, with a talk by
Gurminder K. Bhambra (University of Sussex).
Title: Critical Theory and the Need for a Political Economy of
Colonialism
When/Where: Thursday, 14th of November, 3-5 pm, ONLINE!
You can join the event via the following Zoom link:
https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69090163424?pwd=Y2JCxwmd7L88U1OPOLw7OCrGuuxZIe.1
Abstract:
Frankfurt School critical theory is grounded in a theory of capitalist
modernity which, in common with wider sociological approaches, elides
histories of colonialism. This results in a misdiagnosis of current
problems of inequality and inadequate solutions for their address. Many
critical theorists, for example, focus primarily on issues of
redistribution associated with a capital-labour relation organised
nationally and now seen to be threatened by globalisation and migration.
Such an understanding fails to account for how the decommodification of
labour through the development of national welfare arrangements in the
West – an explicit issue for critical theory from Habermas's
"Legitimation Crisis" onward – has been bound to wider colonial
histories and, specifically, colonial patrimonies. A proper address of
these issues requires a more expansive approach to distributive justice
conducted in a reparative frame that recognizes the ways in which the
legacies of our shared, but asymmetrically experienced, colonial pasts
continue to configure the present and its possibilities. It involves
making colonial histories central to understandings of capitalist
modernity and to the normative address of inequalities that otherwise
risk being legitimated by the standard accounts of critical theory. In
this talk, I take issue with the central conceptualisation of modern
society as capitalist at its core, and the way in which capitalism is
understood separately from colonialism. I further question the implicit
nationalism of critical theory and argue that what is missing from it is
a political economy of colonialism.
Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone who might be
interested.

(1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Bamberg und Bayreuth, Deadline: 15.11.2024)
Short-Term Position (up to one year, 0.65 FTE, 13 TV-L) in Theoretical
Political Science and Philosophy
*Short-term position* (up to one year, 0.65 FTE, 13 TV-L) in Theoretical
Political Science and Philosophy at the University of Bamberg and the
University of Bayreuth.
The position will be affiliated with the Chair of Theoretical Political
Science (Prof. Dr. Johannes Marx) at the Otto-Friedrich-Universität
Bamberg or the Chair of Philosophy I (Prof. Dr. Olivier Roy) at the
University of Bayreuth as part of the research project "Simulating
Collective Agency "(SColA), funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft.
Description:
The SColA project studies mechanisms underlying the emergence and
stability of collective agency. It first investigates the role of shared
beliefs and intentions for the emergence and stability of collective
agents, and second, it studies how these shared attitudes contribute to
the stability, growth, or decline of autonomy in such groups. The
project will do so through a computational and game-theoretical study of
so-called' team reasoning' (Bacharach, 2006), an extension of classical
non-cooperative game theory in which the players can reason either
individually or as a team member.
Candidate profile:
* Initiative and aptitude for teamwork.
* Background in Philosophy or Political Science, interested in
theoretical questions and computational
approaches.
* Familiarity with decision, game theory, and practical philosophy in
the analytic tradition.
* Basic experience with programming.
The position is relatively flexible and can be adapted to the successful
candidate's timeline and experience, e.g. by turning it to a 1.0 FTE for
a shorter period. Its main purpose is to conduct scientific research
related to the SColA project. It could, however, also be used to prepare
a funding application for a follow-up position. The SColA project
finishes on November 30th, 2025, and the position cannot be extended
beyond that date. Remote work is possible.

(Vrije Universiteit Brussels & Universität zu Lübeck)
== Topic:
In 1960, physicist and Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner wrote an article
entitled "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural
Sciences." Wigner was surprised that the mathematical structure of a
physical theory not only accurately describes the physical world but
also leads to new predictions and further advances. This phenomenon
puzzled him, leading to the term "unreasonable effectiveness": Why is
mathematics so effective in describing the natural world? More recently,
a Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for work that many might consider
to belong to computer science. The first image of a black hole, for
example, relied heavily on sophisticated code. Formal tools are now
integral to many complex measurements, cutting across various scientific
practices.
We are organizing a two-day exploratory workshop. The main theme will
broadly explore the applicability of mathematics both within and outside
its traditional boundaries. Day 1 will focus on the use of mathematical
tools in the sciences, particularly in the life sciences. The life
sciences are increasingly becoming more mathematical, and there are
ongoing fruitful discussions-both scientific and philosophical-on how
mathematics should be coordinated with biological and medical phenomena.
Day 2 will shift to internal mathematical considerations, such as how
formal tools, like theorem-proving software, can be applied to these
interdisciplinary efforts. Moreover, "applicability" has become a major
theme in mathematical research, as some analytical resources prove to be
more suitable for different contexts within pure mathematics. This is a
topic that has recently garnered the attention of philosophers of
mathematics, especially those interested in the "practice turn" in
philosophy.
Finally, a common thread throughout both days of the workshop is the
ethical dimension. The way we mathematize and quantify the real world,
and how automation influences various fields, has wide-reaching
implications for society and numerous professional practices.

* Ozan Altan Altinok (CELLS, Leibniz Universität Hannover)

Workshop: Rights and Reasons

Moral rights occupy a central place in contemporary moral theorizing. At
the same time, a promising hypothesis in the theory of normativity is
that normative phenomena (including moral phenomena) can be explained in
terms of reasons, i.e., in terms of the factors that count in favour of
actions or attitudes. The aim of this workshop is to investigate and
discuss the relation between moral rights and normative reasons.
The workshop will focus on (but is not limited to) questions such as the
following:
What are the connections between moral rights, moral duties, and moral
reasons?
Can rights be analysed in terms of reasons or should rights be
regarded as reason-providing?
What (if anything) do reasons-based analyses of rights imply for the
justification of moral rights and for first-order moral theory?
What can our best accounts of moral rights contribute to our
understanding of normative reasons?
Participation is free, but registration is required and places are
limited.
Registration deadline: 8 January 2025.

Dear all,
our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Georg Schiemer, who will give a talk on November 14, 4.45-6.15 pm.
All are welcome!

Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Georg Schiemer
On two types of instrumental devices
Philosophy of Science Colloquium
The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows.
Date: 14/11/2024
Time: 16h45
Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G
Abstract:
Instrumental devices are linguistic expressions that are formal or non-representational but nevertheless indispensable or at least instrumentally useful for certain theoretical purposes. We give a systematic study of such expressions and their roles in theorizing, thus offering a unified treatment of instrumental devices across different philosophical areas. Specifically, we present an explication of two general types of such devices, namely merely expressive devices and merely inferential devices and discuss their respective theoretical roles based on a number of philosophical examples. Joint work with Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich).

(Deadline: February 15, 2025)
23rd univie: summer school Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC)
The History and Epistemology of Econometrics
Vienna, July 7-11, 2025
https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/
Course Description
Models and their econometric estimation play an increasingly important role
in modern economic and political life. From macroeconomic policy and
financial regulation to public health and climate policy, models contribute
to shaping policies. The generation of ever more data is likely to support
the proliferation of models and econometrics. Research resources in academia
focus on the theoretical foundations of the underlying model and on the
statistical methods of econometrics; much less attention is devoted to the
epistemological challenges of the underlying concepts, the normative
challenges of the everyday work with econometrics, and the application of
its results in policy decisions and evaluation.
The objective of this program is to increase attention amongst philosophers
of science, academic economists, and empirical economists in policy
institutions (eg, central banks) to these issues.
The course is also structured around a particular point of
view namely, that economics is a science of models and that most of the
main features of econometrics relate generally to the role of models in
science.
Topics will be selected reflecting participants interests and may include:
* History of econometrics to frame the philosophical issues to be
discussed in the course
* The Vienna Circle and econometrics
* Values and Ethical Pitfalls in econometric research
* Key philosophical issues of how models relate to the world and how
they relate to each other
* Data: observation, classification, and measurement of economic
variables from a modeling point of view
* Conceptual issues related to modeling randomness
* The identification problem: how possibly, if at all possible, to
map descriptive relations onto theoretical variables?
* Issues related to optional stopping, search methodologies, and the
proper interpretation of results obtained through search
* Different approaches to the nature of causation and different
strategies of causal inference
* The conceptual basis of graphical causal modeling and controlled,
natural, and field experiments
* The conceptual issues surrounding the problem of model
uncertainty, as well as some of the strategies economists use to address it
Main Lecturers:
Kevin D. Hoover (Duke University)
Kevin D. Hoover is Professor of Economics and Philosophy and Senior Fellow
of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. He
is the editor of the journal History of Political Economy and a past editor
of the Journal of Economic Methodology. His current research addresses
causality, causal inference in economics, the history of macroeconomics,
philosophical issues related to the microfoundations of macroeconomics, and
the engagement with economics of the American pragmatist philosopher
Charles. S. Peirce. He is the author of The New Classical Macroeconomics,
the Methodology of Empirical Macroeconomics, Causality in Macroeconomics,
Applied Intermediate Macroeconomics, as well as many articles in monetary
and macroeconomics, the history of economics, the philosophy of economics,
and applied econometrics.
Jennifer Jhun (Duke University)
Jennifer Jhun is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Duke
University, as well as a Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of
Political Economy. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of
Pittsburgh. Her main research interests are in the philosophy of science,
especially philosophy of economics, but also in issues in other areas, such
as psychology and physics. She is currently engaged on a project that
investigates antitrust from a historical and philosophy-of-science
perspective: Whats the Point of ceteris Paribus? or, How to Understand
Supply and Demand Curves. Philosophy of Science 85, no. 2 (2018): 271-292;
Economics, Equilibrium Methods, and Multi-scale Modeling. Erkenntnis 86,
no. 2 (2021): 457-472; Multi-Model Reasoning in Economics: The Case of
COMPASS. Philosophy of Science 90, no. 4 (2023): 836-854; Implied Market
Shares and Antitrust Markets as Fuzzy Sets. Forthcoming at The Antitrust
Bulletin. (Joint with Matthew Panhans, Federal Trade Commission)
Guest Lecturer:
Marcel Boumans (University of Utrecht)
Marcel Boumans is historian and philosopher of science at Utrecht
University. His main research focus is on understanding empirical research
practices in science outside the lab from a philosophy of
science-in-practice perspective. He is particularly interested in the
practices of measurement and modelling and the role of mathematics in social
science. The first step in these practices is to make sense of the available
data. Visualisations play an important role in this. His current research
project Vision and Visualisation is nearing completion with a book
manuscript Shaping the Phenomena.
The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior
researchers in philosophy of science and economics as well as empirical
economists at policy institutions (eg, central banks) but the organizers
also encourage applications from people in all stages of their career and
from fields other than economics that apply advanced econometrics.
