Dear Doctoral Researchers,
I would like to remind you that two of our important deadlines are
approaching.
If you have any questions about either, please feel free to contact this
office.
Best,
Raphael
1. Summer School Organization Call (deadline 18 Nov)
Information at
https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/phd-program/doctoral-training/summer-sch…
2. Thesis Completion Fellowship (deadline 18 Nov)
The goal of the fellowship is to support highly qualified doctoral
students successfully complete their dissertations within the funding
period of up to 6 months. To apply for the fellowship, you and your
supervisor(s) must submit a completed application, which is available in
our Moodle (in "All Forms").
Amount: EUR 1,050 per month
Duration: up to 6 months
The scholar will not be provided with office space at the university.
The scholar may not have received financial support for the doctoral
project for more than two years (through contractual employment with the
university, a third party, or a fellowship) and not within the six
months prior to application.
At the time of application, work on the dissertation must have
progressed to the point where it can be realistically expected that the
dissertation can be submitted by the end of the funding period (maximum
6 months).
Multiple funding from other organizations or the university is excluded.
Recipients are responsible for all taxes and insurance during the
fellowship period and are advised that any net annual income in excess
of EUR 8,580 will be taxable.
The scholarship will be considered as "income from self-employment".
Dear VDP members,
Let me kindly draw your attention to this good opportunity. For those of
you who are new in the VDP, please keep in mind that you can apply for
conference participation grants if you are active participants.
Kindly regards,
Raphael

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).
Summer School
Call for Applications
(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.

(5) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Zürich, Deadline: 20.01.2025)
PhD Position in Philosophy at the University of Zurich
The Institute of Philosophy at the University of Zurich offers a 4-year
funded PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael Messerli.
_Brief Description of the Project_
Human motivations sometimes change. A travel lover stops flying to
distant places in the face of climate change. A politician begins to
seek power instead of justice. Sometimes changing preferences seems to
be a good thing; at other times, it appears regrettable. How we evaluate
such changes is an important question. At the same time, we must
understand how preference change comes about in the first place. Why do
one person's preferences change in response to a given situation when
the preferences of another person - in a similar situation - do not?
When is it rational to change one's preferences?
Despite its strengths, standard decision theory cannot answer these
questions. That is, it cannot describe fundamental preference changes.
This calls for a paradigm shift in the relevant academic disciplines.
However, it is only recently that decision theorists have started to
develop new approaches to examining the question of preference change.
Furthermore, crucial normative issues have been neglected. For example,
once we better understand preference change, some might suggest that we
should try to change people's preferences, building on recent
influential research concerning changing the behavior and choices of
individuals via "nudges" or by modifying the "choice-architecture."
This project will adopt a conceptual, model-building, rational and
normative approach to motivational change and develop and empirically
test an original model of preference change. Its main objectives are:
(1) To understand motivational change better, both descriptively and
conceptually (What is motivational change? How should motivational
change be modeled?)
(2) To develop an original model of motivational change - the
"commitment-based theory" - and test whether it is normatively and
descriptively adequate (Does the theory stand up to normative testing?
Does the theory make correct predictions?)
(3) To explore and evaluate the normative dimensions of preference
change (When is a preference change rational? Are there other normative
constraints on motivational change? Are adaptive preferences rational?
Why are adaptive preferences so relevant in the context of current
feminist philosophy? Should we change people's preferences?)
_PhD Project_
In tackling some of these problems, the applicant can work within the
following areas:
- Nudging
- Adaptive Preferences
- Ethics
- Rationality
- Value Theory
- Decision Theory
- Other topic related to the project on Motivational Change
_Scientific Requirements_
The candidate should:
- Have a Master's degree in philosophy at the moment of starting the PhD
position
- Have a strong analytical background
- Be an independent thinker, enthusiastic and physically present
- Be socially competent and motivated to work with people in the
Department
_Salary _
The PhD position is fully funded for 4 years.
_How to Apply_
Applications must be sent by e-mail to Michael Messerli
(mich_messerli(a)yahoo.de) by 20 January 2025. They should include the
following documents (in one single pdf file):
- CV
- A short description of which research question the candidate would be
interested to work with (approx. 2 pages)
- A writing sample (e.g. a Chapter of MA-thesis, approx. 15-20 pages)
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed in February 2025 (in Zurich
or via Zoom).

Synthese: New Waves in Hinge Epistemology (Topical Collection)
_Guest Editor(s):_ Jakob Ohlhorst - VU Amsterdam, Andrew Sherrod -
University of Glasgow, Martin Miragoli - University of Glasgow, Nikolaj
Pedersen - Yonsei University
_Topical Collection Description: _In recent years, a new idea has taken
root in contemporary epistemological theorising that proposes a shift of
attention from singular beliefs of individual agents to maintenance
practices of entire belief systems. This new perspective, going back to
Ludwig Wittgenstein's late work, takes its moves from the key assumption
that our belief systems are ultimately supported by sets of unquestioned
pre-theoretical presuppositions, which function as the hinges of our
systems of thought. Hinge Epistemology, as the area of research
sprouting from this basic model has come to be known, has taken a more
applied and interdisciplinary turn in recent years. Drawing on cognitive
scientific theories, hinges have been compared to procedural knowledge,
drawing on feminist theory and social science, they have been compared
with prejudices. Additionally, hinge epistemologists have engaged with
the Moorean concept of common knowledge.
_Appropriate Topics for Submission include, among others: _
* How do hinges relate to non-standard, non-JTB, kinds of knowledge?
* What role do hinges play for political disagreement?
* How can hinges be applied in cognitive scientific models?
* What role do hinges play in pedagogical contexts?
* What is the ethics of hinge epistemology?
For further information, please contact the guest editor(s):
j.ohlhorst2(a)vu.nl;
The deadline for submissions is 01.04.2025. Submissions to the Topical
Collection will be subject to the normal Synthese review process.

(10) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Groningen & Online, 09-10.01.2025,
Registration Deadline: 29.12.2024)
Climate Change and the Long-Term Future - a PPE Winter School (online)
Date: January 9 - January 10, 2025
Location: online; hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy and Centre for PPE
at the University of Groningen
More information: link [4]
After several successful installments, the Faculty of Philosophy of the
University of Groningen [5] will host its yearly Winter School, aimed
primarily at advanced undergraduate students and early-stage graduate
students. The theme of the Winter School is Climate Change and the
Long-Term Future. It will consist of 6 lecture tutorials where topics
related to the theme will be discussed from different disciplinary
viewpoints: Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). To facilitate
attendance by people from outside the Netherlands and Europe, the winter
school will be held online.
_Theme_
Climate change is among the biggest challenges humanity faces today. How
should individuals, societies, and humanity at large respond to climate
change and other long-term challenges? Far from being a question for the
natural sciences alone, a good answer also requires a 'PPE perspective',
that is, a perspective that combines philosophy, politics, and
economics. In this winter school, different researchers will take a PPE
perspective in exploring climate change and our ethical and political
obligations towards future people. The winter school starts with
fundamental normative questions, such as: What are our moral obligations
to future people? Do they extend to all future people and, if so, does
this imply that our longtermist moral duties trump any short-term
concerns? Climate change mitigation is typically seen as a collective
action problem and calls for an institutional solution that facilitates
widespread cooperation among individuals and countries. But what exactly
makes for successful and sustainable institutions? And a
social-psychological perspective will ask: what explains people's
attitudes and actions towards the environment and future generations and
how can those be improved? How can democracies respond to wide
disagreement around climate impacts and appropriate mitigation measures?
And, finally, what are effective solutions to securing a sustainable
energy supply? For example, should such a mix include nuclear energy?
And are European carbon pricing initiatives on the right track?
_Programme _
Prof Lisa Herzog [6], 'Climate Science and Democracy - Considerations
from Political Epistemology'
Prof Frank Hindriks [7], 'Sustainable institutions'
Prof Marijke Leliveld [8], 'Sustainability and other moral behavior: a
psychological perspective'
Prof Edwin Woerdman [9], 'Carbon pricing policies in the EU: a law and
economics perspective'
Prof Simon Friederich [10], 'Climate change as a collective action
problem and the importance of very cheap energy'
Prof Andreas T. Schmidt [11], 'Longtermism and our duty towards
far-future people'
The winter school is aimed at advanced undergraduate students and
early-stage graduate students. It also offers students interested in
studying the PPE Master [12] in Groningen an insight into the kinds of
teaching and research done at the PPE Centre.
_Registration_
To register, send us an email, letting us know your name, affiliation,

SCIENTIFIC PICTURES, MODELS, AND THEIR JUSTIFICATION

ABSTRACT:
In this paper, I first show that similarity accounts of scientific
pictures fail with more realistic cases of scientific pictures. My
primary case study is the picture of a black hole, from which I develop
an interpretation-based account of picture representation analogous to
how models represent: a picture represents a designated target system
iff, once interpreted, it exemplifies properties that are then imputed
to the target via a de-idealising function. Then, I show that
justification of the inferences from pictures crucially depends on their
causal mechanisms of production, in contrast with the standard
justificatory strategies we employ for model inferences.

(1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Bremen, Deadline: 29.11.2024)
13 PhD Positions in Contradiction Studies at the University of Bremen
The Research Training Group "Contradiction Studies--Constellations,
Heuristics and Concepts of the Contradictory" at the University of
Bremen is welcoming applications for 13 3-year positions as Doctoral
Candidates.
This interdisciplinary group examines the ways in which individuals,
groups, institutions, and states navigate the concept of contradiction,
particularly in relation to the prevalent demand for consistency
(freedom from contradiction). It aims to develop novel forms and
procedures for addressing the inherent contradictions of living
together. (Philosophers should note that it not only studies logical

The Role of Imagination in Learning, Understanding, and Knowledge
Dear all,
We cordially invite you to the hybrid Workshop "The Role of Imagination
in Learning, Understanding, and Knowledge", which will be held at the
Ruhr-Universität Bochum (GA 04/187) on the 8th of November 2024, from
9:30 to 17:15 CET.
Philosophers across various traditions and areas of research have long
debated the epistemic roles of imagination. While imagination is often
associated with creative thinking and the discovery of possible or
fantastical worlds, the question remains: does imagination enhance our
understanding of the actual world and help us acquire knowledge?
This workshop brings together experts across various
fields--phenomenology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of
mind--to examine the diverse epistemic roles of imagination. By
exploring how imagination can be a source of learning, deepen
understanding, and contribute to knowledge formation, we aim to foster
interdisciplinary dialogue and uncover new insights into this essential
cognitive process.
Confirmed speakers:
* Kristina Liefke (Ruhr University Bochum)
* Joshua Myers (University of Barcelona)
* Sofia Pedrini (Ruhr University Bochum)
* Zuzanna Rucińska (University of Antwerp)
* Alfredo Vernazzani (Ruhr University Bochum)
* Markus Werning (Ruhr University Bochum)
Organizers: Sofia Pedrini, Alfredo Vernazzani, Markus Werning (Ruhr
University of Bochum).

Call for Interferences - Act up/Building up: EcoTechGender Action Group
Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, Paderborn
University
The era of strictly demarcated sciences is over, at least since the
COVID-19 pandemic. Over the years, changing social values, modern
technologies, but also scientific misconduct and demands for
emancipation based on diversity have led to the fact that science has
become a multidisciplinary but also increasingly interwoven institution
since at least the second half of the 20th century. The present bias is
particularly evident in the institutionalization of knowledge and
content from the humanities and the natural sciences and technology,
which are in part still strictly separated and not automatically related
to each other. This lack of contextualization and intertwining of
nature, culture, technology, society, and gender theory can be
illustrated by a number of problematic examples: Crash test dummies that
only represent men and make cars all the more unsafe for women; toxic
cultures of masculinity in engineering courses that make it almost
impossible for women to build careers and reveal a serious lack of
female role models; racist or sexist algorithms that overwhelm the
increasingly important AI and fuel resentment; or supposedly glorious
inventions by men for women, such as the Pinky Gloves released in 2021,
that reveal a sometimes disastrous picture of gender stereotyping. All
these examples clearly show that there is an urgent need to link the
cultural sciences and humanities, which have been strictly separated,
with the natural, technical, information and engineering sciences.
However, these experiences also show how strong the influences of
social, political, economic and societal factors are, which also have an
unconscious effect on the natural and technical sciences and their
results. This modern change therefore confirms all the more the
establishment of an interlocking perspective and instructions for action
for the scientific enterprise. An appropriate culture/expansion of
discourse makes it possible to show how research in the natural,
technical, information, and engineering sciences can be seen and
evaluated in a multiple and constantly changing world in the context of
society, politics, the environment, technology, and gender. Science is
no longer a homogeneous and awe-inspiring entity that can sustain
itself. It is increasingly criticized and confronted with demands to
open up and to represent all aspects of social life in an interconnected
way. There is therefore a need for other interfaces and interconnections
that drive this world of research, transform it, make it usable, and
build it in a future-oriented way. This particular entanglement has
always been explored in the EcoTechGender research project [1] (est.
2007 by Prof. Dr. Ruth E. Hagengruber [2]).
In the context of a workshop, we would like to emphasize this importance
once again, work it out together, and offer space for a
philosophical-interdisciplinary workshop and discourse in which young
scientists can present their visions and contributions to the
entanglement field of EcoTechGender. In addition to invited speakers,
lecture slots will be advertised in order to provide a platform for
exchange for interested young scientists. The aim of the workshop is to
present different perspectives on EcoTechGender from young scholars from
different academic disciplines to show the interferences of humanities,
social sciences, science and technology studies, medicine and computer
science.
The workshop will be introduced by our Keynoter _Kateryna Karpenko [3]_,
Director of the Center for Gender Studies at Kharkiv National Medical
University, Ukraine. Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to follow
and listen to several different PhD students from STEM fields,
STS-Studies, medicine, gender studies and philosophy, who will present
their views and ideas on EcoTechGender. For more inspiration have a look
at our preliminary program [4].
The Workshop will take place on November 15, 2024 at the _Center for the
History of Women Philosophers and Scientists_ as _online event._ For
participation please register via our registration platform [5].
_The workshop is organized by __Ruth E. Hagengruber [2]__ & __Felix
Grewe [6]__._

The rapid advancement of biotechnologies presents unprecedented
opportunities and challenges across various domains of human life.
Innovations like synthetic cells, living materials, soft robotics, brain
organoids, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and germline editing
promise breakthroughs in science and medicine. They also raise profound
ethical and anthropological questions about the nature of life, human
identity, and the social impacts of altering biological processes.
_The workshop _seeks to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue between
life sciences researchers and scholars engaged in ethical,
philosophical, and social reflection on these advancements. It _is a
joint venture between the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering
and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM), the Max Planck Institute for Medical
Research (MPImR), and the Marsilius-Kolleg. _
_The event will open with a public panel discussion at the Neue Aula of
Heidelberg University on Thursday (November 28th) on the topic of brain
organoids,_ followed by two days of talks and in-depth discussions.
The majority of speakers will be drawn from Heidelberg University and
its renowned local research institutions, including the German Cancer
Research Center (DKFZ), the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT),
and Heidelberg University Hospital as well as the IMSEAM and the MPImR
themselves. _The workshop will also feature S. Matthew Liao, Arthur
Zitrin Professor of Bioethics at the School of Global Public Health at
New York University (NYU), as the keynote speaker_, adding an
internationally recognized voice to the ethical debates surrounding
emerging biotechnologies.

Workshop: Recent Work on Authoritative and Formal Normativity
Over the past decades, a range of different fields in philosophy has
made use of the distinction between a _formal _and an _authoritative
_variety of normativity. However, within the metanormative literature,
scholars have come forward raising doubts about the conceivability of
that distinction, and several attemps have been made to rebuttal these
reasons supporting scepticism. In the course of this workshop, we aim to
bring different voices and perspectives on the authoritative-formal
divide and its application together.
_Speakers:_
* Derek Baker (_Frankfurt_)
* James Brown (_Sheffield_)
* Eline Gerritsen (_Hamburg_)
* Susanne Mantel (_Heidelberg_)

Dear all,
Please find below a Call for Registration for our workshop on the Ethics
of Climate Emergency that will take place here at the University of
Vienna on November 15.
Workshop on the Ethics of Climate Emergency
Co-hosted by Department of Philosophy University of Vienna and Knowledge
in Crisis FWF Cluster of Excellence.
November 15, 2024
Room 3A, Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG)
Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna
A declaration of climate emergency calls for a radical break from
business-as-usual in climate policy. Yet it raises crucial moral,
political and institutional questions: Should the demands of urgency and
the extent of potential harm alter procedures of decision-making or
frameworks of justification? Which courses of action/institutions are
permissible to avoid the harms of global warming? How should we
understand responsibilities for remedying loss and damage as well as
future generations in the context of climate emergency? This one-day
workshop will bring together researchers working on the above and
related issues surrounding climate emergency.
Speakers:
Kathrin von Allmen (Harvard University)
Ali Emre Benli (University of Vienna)
Angela Kallhoff (University of Vienna)
Ross Mittiga (SOAS University of London)
Tracey Skillington (University College Cork)
The workshop is free, but places are limited. Online participation is
possible. Please register via workshop registration [1].
Program is available at The Ethics of Climate Emergency -- University of
Vienna [2]

_Conference Overview_
We are pleased to invite submissions for the conference _The Syntax and
Semantics of Formalisations in Philosophy_, to be held at LMU Munich on
27-28 June 2025. This event will explore the relationship between formal
methods and philosophical inquiry, focusing on the challenges, debates,
and implications of formalising philosophical concepts.
The conference will feature four keynote talks and eight contributed
presentations mainly across three main topics:
_1. The Feasibility and Challenges of Formalising Philosophy:_ This
theme examines the adequacy of formal methods in capturing the nuances
of philosophical ideas, identifying common challenges such as potential
oversimplification and loss of depth, and exploring the relationships
between terms and concepts within formal systems.
_2. Pros and Cons of Using Formalisations in Philosophy:_ This topic
addresses the ongoing discussion regarding the value of formal methods
in philosophy, highlighting their benefits, including enhanced precision
and clarity, alongside the limitations imposed by formal systems, such
as the risk of diminishing the richness of philosophical discourse.
_3. Conceptual Pluralism and Choosing the Right Formalisation:_ This
theme recognises the diversity of formal methods and evaluates the
criteria for selecting the most appropriate approaches for philosophical
inquiry, considering the intended applications and goals of
formalisation.
We welcome contributions that provide original insights into these and
related topics. Historical approaches or comparative studies across
different philosophical schools are also encouraged.

(4) CALL FOR PAPERS (Dortmund, Deadline: 10.01.2025)
Dortmund Disputes on Economic Justice
Date: June 12 and 13, 2025.
Place: Dortmund, Germany
Keynotes: Miranda Fleischer (San Diego), Nicholas Vrousalis (Rotterdam)
Organizers: Peter Königs, Christian Neuhäuser, Lea Prix, Dick Timmer (TU
Dortmund University)
Most fundamental questions of economic justice remain unresolved. There
is little agreement on the place of markets, the nature of property, the
justifiability of taxes, the importance of workplace democracy, the
injustice of economic inequality, and, generally, the merits of
capitalism and socialism.
While debates on economic justice often take place within specific
political camps, where many assumptions are shared, the Dortmund
Disputes take a different approach. The idea of the Dortmund Disputes is
to foster debate across political boundaries. It seeks to bring together
open-minded scholars with diverse political outlooks--whether liberal
egalitarian, libertarian, socialist, conservative, or otherwise--who are
committed to our shared goal of advancing our understanding of economic
justice.
The keynote speakers for the first installment of the Dortmund Disputes
are Miranda Fleischer and Nicholas Vrousalis. Miranda Fleischer is
Richard and Kaye Woltman Professor in Finance at University of San
Diego's School of Law. Her work focuses on ethical and legal issues
surrounding taxation, wealth and wealth transfer, and charitable giving.
She's the co-author of a recent book on Universal Basic Income. Nicholas
Vrousalis is Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy at Erasmus
University Rotterdam [2]. His work revolves around distributive ethics,
democratic theory, and the history of political philosophy, with
emphasis on Kant, Hegel, and Marx. He is the author of a recent book on
capitalism and exploitation.
We invite scholars to apply with an abstract of around 500 words.
Abstracts will be selected based on their quality, fit with the spirit
of the conference, and broad alignment with the research interests of
the keynote speakers. They should be sent as PDF attachments to Swaantje
Siebke [swaantje.siebke(a)tu-dortmund.de], prepared for blind review. The
deadline for submission is January 10, 2025.
Limited funding is available to cover travel and accommodation expenses
for speakers who cannot otherwise finance these costs.

and his school, Husserl, Frege, Russell, the Vienna Circle,
Wittgenstein, Tarski, Quine, and the Polish school, for instance, but

(6) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Innsbruck, 30-31.10.2024)
Book Symposium on Thomas Grundmann's forthcoming book "Expert Authority
and the Limits of Critical Thinking" (OUP)
Department of Christian Philosophy
University of Innsbruck
Dekanatssitzungssaal
Karl-Rahner-Platz 1
_Abstract of the book_: Public confidence in scientific experts is high,
particularly in times of crisis. But experts are not beyond doubt. In
his forthcoming book, Thomas Grundmann argues that a different attitude
towards experts is needed. Laypeople should stop thinking for themselves
and typically defer to experts. In short, laypeople should treat experts
as epistemic authorities. Grundmann presents a novel argument for this
bold view and engages with its main challenges. For example, doesn't the
view make experts too powerful and completely immune to criticism? The
book replies to these and many more concerns about the authority of
experts. On its way issues such as the history of epistemic authority,
expert identification, the role of expert authority in resisting
conspiracy theories, epistemic autonomy, and the role of experts in
politics are addressed.

Christine M. Korsgaard: Value and Freedom in Kant's Moral Philosophy
Christine M. Korsgaard, die an der Harvard University lehrt, ist eine
der wichtigsten Philosophinnen unserer Zeit. Ihr Werk widmet sich unter
anderem einer Rechtfertigung menschlicher Würde, einer Grundlegung
unseres richtigen Handelns und der Begründung des moralischen Status von
Tieren. In den Dagmar-Westberg-Vorlesungen geht sie in drei Vorträgen
zentralen Fragen der Praktischen Philosophie Kants nach, die sie auf
innovative Weise deutet. Der erste Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit dem
unvergleichlichen Wert des Individuums und ergründet, was es eigentlich
heißt, „Zweck an sich selbst" zu sein. Der zweite Vortrag ist dem
Zusammenhang von richtigem und gutem Handeln gewidmet und weist als
wesentliches Kennzeichen deren Autonomie aus. Im dritten Vortrag wird
schließlich Moralität als Bedingung unserer Freiheit thematisch.
