*Computational Artifacts and the Problem of Creation*
As computer science integrates principles from logic, engineering, and
physics, the ontological status of its core entities, such as computer
programs, remains contested. Programs are often characterized as hybrids
that have a “dual nature.” In attempts to untangle such hybrids,
philosophers of computing have applied the concept of ‘technical
artifact’ (combining teleological function and physical structure) to
computing. While productive, it overlooks a notorious problem from the
philosophy of art: the /Problem of Creation/, which asks how abstract
objects like musical works or novels can be brought into existence
through concrete human activity. I argue that, like repeatable artworks,
computational artifacts have different representational modes (e.g.,
symbolic, mathematical, diagrammatic) and implementational media (e.g.,
ink on paper, chalk on a whiteboard, electrical signals, punched cards,
etc.). Just as a novel or a musical work is not identical to any one
performance or copy, a computer program persists across implementations.
This invites a philosophical conundrum: How can programmers /create
/abstract objects that are not located in space or time? By
appropriating solutions to the Problem of Creation, we gain alternative
ways to characterize the ontological status of programs and other
computing objects. I conclude by exploring whether we can understand
computational artifacts as /abstract /technical artifacts.

*Emperor’s New Crowds: “Untrustworthy” Workers and “Ground Truth”*
Ground-truth datasets are supposed to nail down facts about the “world”
represented by data, so that machine learning models trained on them
will behave reliably in that same world. Yet when annotation is
outsourced to platform workers whom engineers do not know, and often
mistrust, how is such reliability achieved or even imagined? Based on 27
interviews with machine learning researchers and practitioners, this
paper investigates how ground-truth datasets are stabilised when 1)
annotators are positioned as unreliable non-experts, 2) recognised
domain experts are prohibitively expensive, and 3) the platform
architecture itself suppresses deliberation, feedback, and learning.
Given these constraints, I illustrate ground-truthing as a canny,
iterative practice shaped by task design choices, aggregation methods,
disciplinary conventions, and the affective politics of trusting data
supplied by unknown workers. Rather than reflecting the world, the
resulting datasets operationalize narrowly bounded problem formulations
that satisfy performance goals ‘well enough’ for downstream modelling.
By analysing the epistemic hierarchies, organizational constraints and
judgment calls embedded in these pipelines, the discussion offers a
concrete case for re-evaluating realist assumptions about data,
evidence, and representation in contemporary AI research. Moreover, the
analysis opens normative space for re-imagining data pipelines around
more transparent authority structures and richer human feedback for more
reliable processes and outputs.
Dear all,
I am excited to invite you to the next installments of the
Trans*Formations series at the Department of Philosophy!
This series of talks and workshops, supported by the Vienna Doctoral
School of Philosophy, provides insights into recent developments in
trans theorizing.
This time, we will be joined by Prof. Emma Heaney, who is a Clinical
Assistant Professor and Faculty Advisor for Experimental Writing at New
York University (US). She will give both a workshop (25 participants,
booking required) and a public talk that everyone is welcome to!
Please find all the info below and in the flyers attached to this mail,
and disseminate to all who might be interested!
*Trans*Formations Workshop: **On the Cisness of the Bourgeoisie: A
Workshop with Professor Emma Heaney*
*25.6.2025, 18:00 - 19:30, HS 3A (NIG, 3rd Floor)*
This workshop will consider recently published and forthcoming work by
American scholar of Trans Studies and Comparative Literature: Emma
Heaney. Participants will read the introduction to Heaney’s recently
published edited collection,/Feminism Against Cisness/
<https://www.dukeupress.edu/feminism-against-cisness>, an interview
<https://pinko.online/web/on-the-cisness-of-the-bourgeoisie> with
feminist theorist Sophie Lewis (/Full Surrogacy Now/, /Abolish the
Family/, /Enemy Feminisms/), and a forthcoming interview that addresses
questions of historical and linguistic translation in decentering
Anglophone texts (and histories of Western Europe and the United States)
in queer and trans theory. The historical focus on this workshop is
tracing the itinerary of transness and cisness in medicalization of sex
and sexuality from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century.
Theoretical questions focus on the definition of sex, the status of the
feminine in regard to sex distinctions in the foliations of the
twentieth century, and the imposition of cisness as an ideology that
obfuscates the understanding of sex on both the experiential and the
political level.
To join the workshop, please sign up via e-mail to
flora.loeffelmann(a)univie.ac.at <mailto:flora.loeffelmann@univie.ac.at>.
You will then be sent the workshop material! Participants are expected
to read the material before the workshop so a productive discussion can
be ensured.
Thanks to the support of queer@hochschulen
<https://queer-at-hochschulen.org/>, there is a also a limited number of
travel stipends available for university students from other Austrian
universities. Please indicate in your sign-up mail if you would like to
apply for one!
The workshop will be in English with ÖGS translation.
*Trans*Formations Talk: **Provincializing Cisness*
*26.6.2025, 19:30 - 21:00, HS 3A (NIG, 3rd Floor)*
Most examinations of sex and gender in the academy take bourgeois
national histories of North America and Western Europe as their frame of
reference. In the histories of Germany, the UK, France, and the United
States, doctors and state bureaucracies incorporated sexual and gendered
social practices into a taxonomy of identities (or even species, as
Foucault puts it,) beginning in the mid-nineteenth century. However, in
many sex-gender systems, including those of the proletarian
neighborhoods of these nations' metropoles, the assumptions that formed
expert orderings did not apply. This lecture surveys the non-cis
vernacular categories that ordered these sex-gender systems. The
relation between race/class and cisness means that there is no absolute
geography to this story. Drawing on source material from Indigenous
Americas to the South Asian subcontinent and from the working-class
neighborhoods of Kansas City to the courts of Nigerian nobility, the
talk will be attuned to a range of sex-gender systems that do not accord
with the categories produced by the Euro- American bourgeois in order
to, as the title suggests, reveal the provincial status of cisness.
The talk will be in English with ÖGS translation.
I want to thank the VDP <https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/>, the

Bio: Emma Heaney is a scholar and teacher of feminist theory,
comparative literature, and trans studies. Her first book, /The New
Woman: Literary Modernism, Queer Theory, and the Trans Feminine Allegory
/(Northwestern 2017) is a study of the prominence of the medicalized
figure of trans femininity in works of twentieth-century literature and
philosophy. Her edited collection /Feminism Against Cisness /(Duke 2024)
gathers essays that demonstrate the nature and potential of feminist
thought unobscured by the counterrevolutionary mystification of assigned
sex. /This Watery Place: Four Essays on Gestation ––– /a political and
phenomenological report from the gestational sensorium against cisness,
capital, and genocide ––– is forthcoming from Pluto Press in November
2025. Her current book project is a sequel edited collection that draws
on the work of scholars from many disciplines and areas of geographical
and historical focus to reveal the provincial nature of the ideology of
cisness. Forthcoming essays theorize the emergence of the trans-gay
distinction in the twentieth century via literary representations. She
is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the XE program at New York
University, where she serves as faculty advisor for the Advanced
Certificate in Experimental Writing.
With all the best wishes and hoping to see many of you at the events,

PhD-Fellowship (m/w/d) 100 | 4
Dear colleagues
We--Nir Fresco and Beate Krickel - are seeking a Ph.D. student in
philosophy of cognitive science to work on a project centred broadly on
computational, representational, and/or mechanistic explanation in
cognitive science, neuroscience, and/or cognitive robotics. The
Ph.D.-position is fully funded for four years.
The successful candidate will enroll in the Ph.D. programme at the
Department of Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the
Negev. Neither living in Beer Sheva nor proficiency in Hebrew is
required. The successful candidate will be supervised by both, Fresco
(BGU) and Krickel (TU Berlin). The project will include a long research
stay (approximately a year) at TU Berlin and a joint-PhD (cotutelle) is
planned.
Starting date: October 2025
The initial deadline for applications is 29 May, 2025. However,
applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is
filled.
Candidates should have a Master's degree in philosophy and some
background in psychology, computer science, robotics, or biology. The
main selection criteria are scientific excellence, suitability for the
research project, and passion for research in philosophy.
A complete application should consist of
* a cover letter describing the candidate's background and the fit for
pursuing a PhD in the area of interest (see questions below);
* a short description of the planned PhD-project (1 page);
* a CV;
* a transcript of records (showing course titles and grades);
* a list of scholars who could provide a reference;
* a short writing sample (e.g., a chapter of the Master's thesis, a
conference paper, or a published paper).
The following (non-exhaustive) list includes possible questions of
interest:
* When does a physical computing system miscompute and can present
accounts of computation explain this phenomenon?
* Given that computation and representation are very often intertwined
in describing cognitive and artificial systems, should cases of
misrepresentation be explained as the result of miscomputation or,
rather, the other way around?
* How does approximation in Bayesian cognitive science differ from,
and relate to, miscomputation?
* Do cognitive explanations that use the notion of miscomputation
assume mind-independent, or rather perspectival and pragmatic, notions
of computation and representation?
* Are there coherent, unified concepts of 'representation' and/or
'computation' that can justify their theoretical role in both computer
science and engineering, as well as in the computational sciences of
mind and brain?
* Can mechanistic explanations in cognitive science be simultaneously
representational? (in other words, do representational explanations
violate the constraints of mechanistic explanation?)
* Can there be a non-representational account of computation that does
justice to the explanatory practices of cognitive science?
* What role does the mechanistic/computational/representational
distinction or connection play in AI and cognitive robotics?
* Can mechanistic/computational/representational explanatory models
from cognitive (neuro-)science provide blueprints for building smart
robots?
* Do AI systems or smart robots make use of representations in the
same way as biological systems?
Please send us the application via email to nfresco-at-bgu-dot-ac-dot-il
and beate-dot-krickel-at-tu-berlin-dot-de.

Sonstige (studentische Veranstaltung): Genetic Pain Surgery Animal
Disenhancement in the Context of Genome Editing
14 May 2025, 17:00 - 19:00
Wien, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, Austria (Hörsaal 2H)
The advent of CRISPR/Cas9 and other modern gene-editing technologies has
opened up unprecedented possibilities for modifying research animals.
Following this technological progress, the possibility of genetically
disenhancing animals' ability to feel pain and pain-related suffering
(hereafter referred to as "GPD" for genetic pain disenhancement) is
currently being discussed as an innovative and potentially powerful
solution to mitigate the ethical challenges of animal research, farm
animal husbandry, and, ultimately, the suffering of wild animals. The
idea of altering research animals and livestock to enable specific uses
by humans emerged during the 1980s and 1990s. The fundamental concept is
to adapt the phenotype of an animal so that it is better suited to life
in the (otherwise harmful) conditions associated with specific uses,
such as animal experimentation or meat production. With reference to the
latest biotechnological developments and the advancement of
genome-editing methods, Dr Samuel Camenzind's lecture will address the
current state of research and address ethical and philosophical, that
have not received sufficient attention in the current debate.

TOPIC
We are organizing a conference on questions related to AI assertion (or
AI "testimony"). The topic will be addressed from the perspectives of
philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics and human-computer
interaction. Key questions include, though are not limited to the
following:
* Can LLMs (such as ChatGPT) make assertions?
* Are our normative expectations towards AI interlocutors similar to
those which govern linguistic human-human interaction?
* If they differ, what are the norms of AI assertion?
* Can artificial agents make "dark moves" in linguistic communication
(e.g. lie, bullshit, deceive etc.), or do those require a full-fledged
human agent?
* Who is responsible for shortcomings in linguistic AI-human
communication?
* How do our normative expectations towards AI assertors interact with
our dispositions to trust and rely on them?
* Does the concept of trust make sense in linguistic human-AI
interaction?

Call for Papers (Sonderband, Deadline: 31.07.2025)
Synthese: Gatekeeping in Science
The topical collection, co-edited by Katherine Dormandy (Innsbruck) and
Erick Winsberg (South Florida, Cambridge), concerns gatekeeping in
science.
Science, which we may understand broadly as the natural, social and
human sciences, depends on gatekeeping to maintain its epistemic
credentials. It must keep out pretenders while remaining porous to
outside-the-box insights and to criticisms of its own shibboleths.
Overly lenient or overly strict gatekeeping can get science in trouble -
we might let in racist biology, or keep out the next Einstein. Yet
gatekeeping in science is far from straightforward, with many issues
needing philosophical elucidation.
One is that gatekeeping, like science itself, is a human activity and
thus vulnerable to groupthink, prestige bias, and careerism, as well as
to the influence of ideologies, or problematic background assumptions or
conceptual frameworks. Political and financial pressures are also well
documented risks. Another issue is the difficulty in solving the
demarcation problem, which, though an expression of science's creativity
and flexibility, makes science vulnerable to unprincipled gatekeeping.
A third issue is that it is natural to leave gatekeeping to individual
scientific disciplines since they surely know best what they are doing -
but it is unclear whether object-level expertise translates to the
meta-level competencies needed to gatekeep effectively. And this raises
the additional concern that interdisciplinary researchers are vulnerable
to weak links among poorly gatekeeping collaborators. Fourth, individual
disciplines and research programs in their current form result largely
from contingent historical processes; we cannot take for granted that
gatekeeping worked smoothly to get them there, raising questions about
the scientific status they currently enjoy.
And bad gatekeeping has social upshots, both for science and the broader
public. For example, accusations of pseudoscience and disinformation,
even when made in good faith by established scientists, can be
weaponized to shut down the very debate on which scientific integrity
depends. In this way and others, bad gatekeeping can damage public trust
in science, perhaps in some cases deservedly. And bad gatekeeping can
have wide-reaching practical consequences - not just in areas such as
the natural sciences that feed technology or medical development, but
also in areas such as the humanities that shape thought and ideology.

Synthese: Agency and Free Will in an Indeterministic World
CfP _Agency and Free Will in an Indeterministic World: New Perspectives
from Philosophy, Biology and Neuroscience_
Topical Collection in _Synthese. An International Journal for
Epistemology, Methodology and Philosophy of Science_
Guest Editor: Anne Sophie Meincke, University of Vienna
The philosophical debate about free will has long been concerned with
whether free will is compatible with the deterministic laws of classical
physics. The truth of universal determinism is commonly taken for
granted also by those who judge free will to be incompatible with
determinism and conclude from this that free will is illusory. Indeed,
scepticism about free will is on the rise, fuelled additionally by
claims from biology and neuroscience that our genes determine who we are
and how we behave, or that we are passive bystanders to the decisions
made by our brains. Given this intellectual landscape, it is not
surprising that libertarian conceptions of free will have remained a
minority position to date. Turning its back on determinism and famously
having been accused by Peter F. Strawson of subscribing to an 'obscure
and panicky metaphysics', libertarianism about free will is still widely
dismissed as inconsistent with a scientific worldview.
This topical collection aims to take a fresh look at libertarianism and,
more broadly, to explore the prospects for robust notions of agency and
free will under indeterminism that do not run counter to science but may
even be scientifically grounded. Could there be something like
scientific libertarianism? What would it entail? Addressing these
questions is timely, given the mounting evidence that our world is
indeed indeterministic. As far as physics is concerned, the
indeterminacy of quantum behaviour poses a well-known threat to the idea
of universal determinism. But also recent developments in biology, such
as epigenetics, the noticeable shift from gene-centred to
organism-centred theories of evolution and the rediscovery of organisms
as agents, challenge biological versions of determinism, especially
genetic determinism. At the same time, neuroscientists, such as Björn
Brembs, Kevin Mitchell and Peter U. Tse, are disputing the popular
narrative that neuroscience has disproved free will, instead providing
evidence for indeterministic neural mechanisms that support libertarian
free will.
This call for papers invites philosophers (working, e.g., in
metaphysics, the philosophy of mind and action and the philosophy of
biology) as well as philosophically-interested biologists and
neuroscientists to present their visions of what it means to be an agent
with free will in an indeterministic world. A scientifically grounded
account of an ontologically robust, libertarian notion of free will can
only be achieved through a collaborative effort across disciplines.
Therefore, this topical collection brings together cutting-edge work
from all three perspectives in the hope of fostering a productive
interdisciplinary dialogue that breaks new ground in the understanding
of free will.
The topical collection is associated with the interdisciplinary
conference "Free Will: New Perspectives from Philosophy, Biology and
Neuroscience" [7], taking place at the Austrian Academy of Sciences,
Vienna, Austria, on 11 and 12 June 2025.
The complete text of the CfP, including a list of appropriate topics for
submission, is available here [8].
The deadline for submissions is 15th October 2025.
I am looking forward to your submissions.

Sonstige: Kant's moral philosophy - beyond the straw man
Vortrag: The Empowering Conception of Humanity
Uhrzeit: 18:15
Ort: Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald und online
URL:
https://www.wiko-greifswald.de/programm/digitale-veranstaltungen/zugang-zum…
Öffentlicher Abendvortrag von Professorin Carla Bagnoli, Ph. D.
(Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio
Emilia/Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) im Rahmen der
internationalen Fachtagung „Kant's moral philosophy - beyond the straw
man" (27-28 Mai 2025, Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald).
In Kant's view, progress towards the realization of the moral ideal
begins with the individual radical change of mind, but it ultimately
depends on the human capacity to form collectives driven by shared
rational norms. This is an empowering conception of humanity, which can
be appreciated in contrast to two views. First, differently than the
habituation theory, it acknowledges that changes in habits may be
instrumental to achieving the necessary varieties of shared action, but
they are not sufficient to sustain individual and collective commitment
to the moral ideal and must be held in check by reason. Second, it shows
that grace is theoretically and practically untenable. The collective
pursuit of the moral ideal requires a complex institutional organization
of rational agency, structured by appropriate legal frameworks. Faith
and hope are distinct practical attitudes key to sustain the complex
varieties of individual, social and institutional agency that allow for
the full realization of the moral ideal. By considering them
disjunctively, we gain a convincing explanation of the dynamics of inner
moral change and its agentive impact, the role of corporative agency
recruited to resist the propensity to evil, and the distinctive ways in
which ethical and religious congregations are vulnerable to heteronomy.
Carla Bagnoli is a Full Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the
University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where she also coordinates the
Ph.D. program in "Religions, Cultures, and Societies." She has held
visiting positions at prestigious institutions such as All Souls
College, University of Oxford, and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.
Her research focuses on philosophy of agency, moral epistemology, and
Kantian constructivism, with a particular interest in practical
reasoning and responsibility. Among her numerous publications, her
recent book _Ethical Constructivism_ (Cambridge University Press, 2022)
explores the foundations of moral normativity.

Philosophieren mit KI? - Large Language Models und
Philosophiezeitschriften
4. Juni 2025, 16.00-17.30 online via Zoom

Luise Müller (FU Berlin), Karoline Reinhardt (Passau), Moderation:
Birgit Beck (TU Berlin)
KI und insbesondere Large Language Models (LLMs) wie ChatGPT oder Gemini
werden bereits jetzt vielfach im wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten eingesetzt.
Gerade für die Philosophie, für die das Lesen und Verfassen von Texten
zentral ist, werden sie zur Herausforderung, in der Lehre genauso wie in
der Forschung. Das betrifft auch das wissenschaftliche Publizieren in
Fachzeitschriften. Diese Veranstaltung will sich einigen der damit
verbundenen Fragen widmen: Inwiefern können LLMs den wissenschaftlichen
Schreibprozess unterstützen oder gar ersetzen? Wie sollten Zeitschriften
und Herausgeber:innen darauf reagieren - mit Verboten,
Kennzeichnungspflichten oder affirmativ den Einsatz von LLMs
befürworten? Wie geht die scientific community mit Texten um, die ganz
oder teils von LLMs geschrieben wurden - schadet die Angabe der
Verwendung dieser Technologien der Reputation der Autor:innen oder der
Zeitschriften, die diese Texte veröffentlichen? Wird durch den Einsatz
von LLMs die intellektuelle Autonomie von Autor:innen infrage gestellt?
Zudem wird diskutiert, ob LLMs als Werkzeuge zur Vereinfachung des
Peer-Review-Prozesses fungieren können und ob dies die Qualität und
Objektivität von Begutachtungen - positiv wie negativ - beeinflussen
könnte. Weitere Fragestellungen betreffen die Zukunft wissenschaftlicher
Publikationen: Verändert sich durch den Einsatz von LLMs die Struktur
von Philosophiezeitschriften? Besteht die Gefahr, dass traditionelle
Methoden des Philosophierens in den Hintergrund rücken? Welche neuen
Ungerechtigkeiten könnten LLMs und ihr Einsatz hervorbringen und wo
könnte ihr Einsatz helfen, bestehende zu reduzieren? Was geht verloren,
wenn LLMs großflächig in der Produktion fachphilosophischer Aufsätze
eingesetzt werden, was kann dadurch gewonnen werden? Wie können ethische
und rechtliche Herausforderungen, wie beispielsweise das Risiko von
Plagiaten oder die Sicherstellung der Urheberschaft, aber auch
Falschbeschuldigungen und Unsicherheiten bezüglich des Einsatzes von
LLMs, adressiert werden?

https://eac-2025.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en
For remote attendance, no registration is required.
A zoom link and the schedule will soon be available here:
https://artificialconsciousness.philosophy-cognition.com/
The problem of artificial consciousness will be discussed from multiple
perspectives, including metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical
perspectives.
Invited speakers: Patrick Butlin, Joanna Bryson, Leonard Dung, Michele
Farisco, François Kammerer, Johannes Kleiner, Lucia Melloni, Winnie
Street.
Among others, talks at this workshop will discuss the following
questions:
* How can the science of consciousness contribute to evaluating the
possibility of consciousness in artificial systems?
* How can we evaluate the strength of evidence for consciousness in
artificial systems?
* How can we evaluate to what extent artificial systems have agency?
* How are consciousness and agency related to moral status?
* Specifically: what moral significance (if any) does phenomenal
consciousness have?
* To what extent, and how, should considerations about AI welfare
inform policy decisions?
After the workshop, a separate call for papers for a special issue on
the workshop's topic will be launched. All speakers are welcome to
submit a manuscript version of their talk to the special issue. The
issue will be published in the diamond open access journal Philosophy
and the Mind Sciences (PhiMiSci; https://philosophymindscience.org).
Funding for the workshop is provided by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) - project

Time: 15:15
Location: Room 3A
Abstract:
Immunology is undergoing significant changes in its theoretical
foundations. In this presentation, I will assess the relevance of
metaphors as a powerful cognitive and social phenomenon, in advancing
contemporary immunology. I address the problem of how to grasp and
profit from the epistemic role of metaphors in modeling scientific
progress in contemporary immunology through Ludwig Fleck’s concept of
translation in science. My main argument is that, to promote a fruitful
change in immunology, we may need to reconsider its theoretical
framework in conjunction with, rather than separately from, its
metaphors. I propose that the project of reshaping immunity’s imagery is
closely tied to how we conceptualize the organism’s relationship with
the environment. Since metaphors can diversify scientific disciplines
and connect communities with different areas of expertise, they could
play a crucial role in this endeavor.
We hope to see you there!

Dear all,
the Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy warmly invites you to join a
talk to be held by Quassim Cassam from the University of Warwick in two
weeks. The title of the talk is "How To Be A Political Epistemologist".
When? Wednesday, 21.05.2025, 01:00 - 2:30 pm
Where? Lecture room 3A, NIG Universitätsstaße 7, 1010 Wien
Abstract
One of the fastest growing areas of philosophy today is political
epistemology. In my lecture, I will discuss the extent to which its
leading figures operate in an epistemic bubble or echo chamber. I will
draw on Kusch's conception of a sociology of philosophical knowledge to
investigate the background assumptions, concerns, ideologies, and master
narratives of mainstream political epistemologists. I will propose a
class-based analysis of political epistemology and explore the
suggestion that this field's major preoccupations are essentially the
preoccupations of what Musa Al-Gharbi calls 'symbolic capitalists'. I
will conclude with a plea for a more diverse and self-critical approach
to political epistemology.
Quassim Cassam has kindly recommended the following texts as preparatory
reading:
* Kusch, M. (1995). Psychologism: The Sociology of Philosophical
Knowledge. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203983898 [1] [read
chapter 2]
* al-Gharbi, M. (2024). We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural
Contradictions of a New Elite. Princeton University Press. [read
introduction and chapter 1]
The WFAP will discuss them as part of its discussion session at 06:30 pm
on Friday, May 16th in lecture hall 2i, NIG. You can find the
recommended reading attached to this e-mail. Anyone is welcome to join!

Subject: [News] Einladung zum Workshop „Erreichbarer Frieden“ – 13. Juni
2025
Date: 05.05.2025 13:41
From: Carina Wurzinger <carina.wurzinger(a)univie.ac.at>
To: news(a)lists.philo.at
Erreichbarer Frieden – Eine interdisziplinäre Annäherung
Friedenskonzeptionen unterscheiden sich in der Art und Weise, wie sie
Frieden begreifen: Philosophische Ansätze diskutieren einerseits ideale
Vorstellungen von Frieden, andererseits konkrete Handlungsnormen, wie
etwa in der Tradition des gerechten Krieges. In der Soziologie wird
erreichbarer Frieden als ein messbarer Zustand der Konfliktbewältigung
verstanden. Politisch könnten wir ihn als Ausgestaltung von
Machtverhältnissen oder die verhandlungsgeleitete, praktische
Umsetzbarkeit eines Nicht-Kriegszustands verstehen. Der Workshop zielt
darauf ab, diese Perspektiven miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen.
Im Zeitalter der Wiederaufrüstung Europas stellen sich moralische,
politische und institutionelle Fragen nach der Erreichbarkeit von
Frieden: Was macht einen erreichbaren Frieden aus? Wie können wir ihn
disziplinübergreifend begreifen? Macht ein erreichbarer Frieden den
Diskurs über idealisierte Friedensvorstellungen obsolet? Wie lässt
sich ein solcher Friedensbegriff in unser Denken darüber integrieren,
was im Hier und Jetzt getan werden sollte?
Datum: Freitag, 13. Juni 2025
Zeit: 9:00 – 17:00 Uhr (inkl. Mittagspause von 12:30 – 13:30 Uhr)
Ort: Institut für Philosophie, Seminarraum 3A, Universitätsstraße 7,
3. Stock, 1010 Wien
Vortragende:
* Max Haller (Universität Graz)
* Georg Kunovjanek (Theresianische Militärakademie)
* Stephanie Fenkart (International Institute for Peace, IIP)
* Angela Kallhoff (Universität Wien)
* Lisa Tragbar (Universität Wien)
* Andreas Oberprantacher (Universität Innsbruck)
Der Workshop ist kostenlos, aber die Plätze vor Ort sind begrenzt. Ich
bitte daher um eine formlose Anmeldung an lisa.tragbar(a)univie.ac.at.
Eine Online-Teilnahme über Zoom ist möglich. Nach Anmeldung schicken

Workshop: The Konstanz 2025 Workshop on Normative Generics
The Konstanz 2025 Workshop on Normative Generics:
Linguistic and Philosophical Perspectives of Normative Generics,
Scripts, and Stereotypes.
Normative generics are generic sentences like their descriptive
counterparts, but rather than merely describing a kind of
generalization, their meanings are said to have a distinctively more
normative flavor. How the meanings of normative and descriptive generics
differ, and the source of the normative flavor, is a matter of intense
debate, and further complicates the already challenging landscape of
existing accounts of generics.
The difference between descriptive and normative generics has been
observed in important work going back to the 1970s (cf. especially
Lawler or Burton-Roberts), with other significant work following some
decades later (Carlson, Greenberg, Cohen, a.o.). Work by Leslie brought
the topic to particular prominence in the last decade, especially in
philosophy.
This workshop addresses open questions in the analysis of normative
generics--pertaining to their semantics, their pragmatics, their
discourse functions, and the kinds of cognition that might underpin
their use. We are particularly interested in how various kinds of social
cognition provide explanatory tools for understanding aspects of their
use (e.g., in recent work by Berio & Musholt, Hesni, a.o.)

Sonstige: Can Biology Help Us Defend Free Will? An Emerging Debate in
Philosophy
_Young Academy Distinguished Lecture: _Can Biology Help Us Defend Free
Will? An Emerging Debate in Philosophy, 10 June 2025, 17:00 (CEST)
_Venue:_ Austrian Academy of Sciences, Johannessaal, Dr. Ignaz Seipel
Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Austria, and online
_Organiser:_ Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna & Young
Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences)
_Description:_
Humans - members of the biological species _homo sapiens_ - are products
of evolution. Therefore, if we have free will, it is plausible to assume
that our free will is also a product of evolution. But do we actually
have free will? Is it - at least sometimes - up to us what we decide to
do? Strikingly, philosophers have long ignored biology when it comes to
answering these questions. Instead, they have quibbled about whether and
how free will might fit into a supposedly deterministic universe as
studied by (classical) physics. Only recently has the debate about free
will begun to open up to biological considerations - so far, however,
mostly with sceptical results. We are told that it is not we but our
brains that decide what we want and how we act, or that our genes
determine our decisions, or other biological factors beyond our control.
In this _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture_, Alfred R. Mele, Professor
of Philosophy at Florida State University, and Anne Sophie Meincke,
member of the Young Academy and philosopher at the University of Vienna,
will take an overdue fresh look at the relationship between free will
and biology: Can biology help us understand and perhaps even defend free
will? If so, how? If not, why not? To make progress here, it is
necessary to critically analyse the arguments put forward against free
will in the name of biology. Do these sceptical arguments really show
what they claim to show? If not, then there is room to explore what
constructive role biology could play in an attempt to defend free will
against scepticism. Perhaps the common conception of a biological
organism as some kind of deterministic machine is not accurate after
all? How should we understand organisms instead? What biological
function could free will serve? Taking evolution seriously also suggests
considering the possibility that free will may not be a privilege of
human organisms.
_First Lecture:_ Alfred R. Mele: "Free Will and Neurobiology"
_Second Lecture:_ Anne Sophie Meincke: "Free Will Is Real and Biology
Helps Us Understand Why"
The _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series_ brings cutting-edge
scientific topics to the public, presented by distinguished experts and
members of the Young Academy. The present two lectures kick off the
interdisciplinary conference "Free Will: New Perspectives from
Philosophy, Biology and Neuroscience" [6], organised by Anne Sophie
Meincke and taking place at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on 11 and
12 June 2025.

Konferenz: Free Will: New Perspectives from Philosophy, Biology and
Neuroscience
_Interdisciplinary Conference_ "Free Will: New Perspectives from
Philosophy, Biology and Neurosciences", 11th - 12th June 2025
_Venue: _Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria, & online
_Organiser:_ Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna)
_Description:_
In everyday life, we naturally assume that it is up to us how we act,
and that we are therefore responsible for our actions. However, free
will in this strong, 'libertarian' sense - involving a choice between
alternatives - is increasingly being questioned by philosophers and
scientists. While traditional concerns were predicated on the
deterministic laws of classical physics, today sceptics also cite
biology and neuroscience. We are told that our genes or our brains, not
we, decide what we want and how we act.
This conference gathers leading experts in philosophy, biology and
neuroscience who argue the opposite. Cutting-edge research into the
biological and neural basis of human and animal agency challenges
deterministic assumptions, adding to doubts from quantum physics and
pointing to non-reductionist views of agency and action causation. At
the same time, recent advances in the philosophy of biology and
metaphysics offer new conceptual resources for understanding agency and
free will under indeterminism. The conference explores the resulting
prospects for a scientifically grounded, ontologically robust concept of
'libertarian' free will, breaking new ground in interdisciplinary
research on free will.
_Invited Speakers:_
Björn Brembs (University of Regensburg), John Dupré (University of
Exeter), Geert Keil (Humboldt University of Berlin), Christian List (LMU
Munich), Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna), Alfred R. Mele
(Florida State University), Kevin Mitchell (with Henry Potter; both
Trinity College Dublin), Stephen Mumford (Durham University), Helen
Steward (University of Leeds), Peter U. Tse (Dartmouth College).
_Concluding Reflections:_
Johannes Jaeger (University of Vienna), Josef Quitterer (University of
Innsbruck)

Dear members of the VDP,
I hope this message finds you well. Please read the following
information carefully:
New Departmental List for Events
The Department of Philosophy will discontinue the Iris mailing list and
replace it with a new list called “Events.” This new list will be used
exclusively to announce philosophy events taking place at our
department. To avoid duplicate messages, we are reevaluating the use of
the VDP list for event announcements.
➡️ To continue receiving announcements about departmental philosophy
events, please register here:
https://philosophie.univie.ac.at/en/news-events/?no_cache=1
Repurposing of the VDP List
Starting in May, the VDP mailing list will be used only for:
Announcements related to VDP news and information of interest
specifically to PhD researchers
Events organized by VDP doctoral researchers and/or the Doctoral School,
or those directly targeting PhD researchers
The list will not be used to share events intended for a broader
audience.
➡️ For such events, please use the News list: news(a)lists.philo.at

Dear all,
You are hereby invited to the next "Physics meets Philosophy" talk by
Antoine Soulas (University of Vienna)
Title: An interpretation-independent formulation of the measurement
problem (see abstract below)
Date: May 7th (Wednesday)
Time: 11:00-12:30
Location: IQOQI Seminar room (Boltzmanngasse 3, 2nd floor)
Zoom link (for those that cannot join in person):
https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66902590859?pwd=HaoStYqIbHUcDcq8fMl9MYm6OibV2E.1
Abstract:
In this presentation, I do not try to solve the measurement problem, but
rather to properly formulate it. One of the reasons why it still lacks a
precise, agreed definition is that the problem may take very different
forms depending on the interpretation of QM embraced. I propose to
identify the common root of the puzzle in an interpretation-independent
way (i.e. as a property of the probabilities only) and derive its
philosophical consequences. The key point is that the violation of the
total probability formula in QM does not allow to construct an objective
ontology, independent from epistemology. This enables to: (i) better
compare the different interpretations of QM; (ii) propose a reason why
QM and GR are so fundamentally incompatible, not relying on purely
mathematical or technical arguments.

Dear VDP members,
The DocSchools VDSEE and CoBeNe are pleased to invite you to an upcoming
session on mental health and well-being in academia, which will take
place on Monday, 26 May 2025, at 16:00 via Zoom. Dr. Markus Boeckle,
coach, psychotherapist, and Senior PostDoc at the Karl Landsteiner
University for Health Sciences, will lead the session.
This session explores the complex realities of well-being during the PhD
journey. Drawing on current research and professional experience, Dr.
Boeckle will highlight common challenges early career researchers
face--from stress and isolation to unclear expectations and role
conflicts--and offer tools for navigating them with more awareness,
agency, and resilience.
About the speaker:
Markus Boeckle's work focuses on psychosocial support for researchers
and developing digital interventions. His research interests include
self-efficacy, future planning, and mental health in academic settings.
He is a coach, supervisor, and psychotherapist with individuals and
groups.

Call for Papers (Sonderband, Deadline: 01.10.2025)
Synthese: Feminist Logic
CFP - Synthese Topical Collection - Feminist Logic
Guest editor: Sara Ayhan, Ruhr University Bochum
Deadline: October 1, 2025.
Information page: https://link.springer.com/collections/hiejjifchd
Topical Collection Description:
Feminist Logic examines intersections of formal logic and feminist
philosophy. As such it challenges traditional conceptions both of
feminism and of logic. This is a very broad description, but it captures
the diversity of the field of Feminist Logic that will also be reflected
in the contributions to this topical collection.
More specifically, Feminist Logic can mean
- to use logical tools for feminist ends, e.g., to uncover biases in
arguments or to model social hierarchies to make patriarchal structures
explicit,
- to devise, revise and/or argue for logical systems from a distinctly
feminist perspective, e.g., certain logical systems may seem suited
better or worse for formalizing feminist arguments,
- to look at the history of logic from a feminist perspective, e.g., by
revealing so far disregarded contributions by female logicians and
exposing exclusionary practices that led to their invisibility,
- to consider teaching practices in logic and how those disadvantage
certain underrepresented groups.
As this list of possible topics shows, there are also strong connections
to other discourses in philosophy of logic (e.g., the debates about
logical pluralism, anti-exceptionalism and the normativity of logic) and
in epistemology (e.g., combining formal and social epistemology). Thus,
this is a topic which combines various subdisciplines of philosophy.
Contributions covering any of the above listed topics or which in
another way combine logic and feminist philosophy are welcome. Note that
the listed topics are not meant to be restricted to gender discourses
but that submissions addressing intersectional feminist approaches are
also particularly encouraged.
Submissions will be subject to the usual review process of Synthese and
are to be made via https://www.editorialmanager.com/synt/default.aspx
When submitting, select "T.C. : Feminist Logic" in the drop-down TC
list.
Submission guidelines:

Sonstige (studentische Veranstaltung): P3: Pluralism, Pragmatism,
Perspectivism
Call for Applications
P3: Pluralism, Pragmatism, Perspectivism
HHU Summer School, 15th ‑ 19th September 2025
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany
https://p3-summerschool.netlify.app
In the intellectual climate following the decline of post-positivist
philosophy of science, scientific pluralism emerged as a direct critical
response to the perceived failure of post-positivism to offer a unified
view of science. Scientific practices began to be understood in a
pluralistic, piecemeal fashion, shifting the focus from a monolithic
conception of science to a multiplicity of approaches (cf. Galison &
Stump 1996). Pluralism has since evolved into an active and explicit
research program within the philosophy of science (cf. Ludwig & Ruby
2021). Very recently, the pluralist stance has materialized in forms
like scientific perspectivism (cf. Giere 2006; Teller 2019; Massimi
2022; Kendig 2024) and pragmatist philosophy of science (cf. Price 2011;
Andersen & Mitchell 2023; Chang 2022).
At the HHU Summer School, we aim to foster a rich dialogue between
pluralism, pragmatism, and perspectivism, anchored in their shared
pluralistic foundations (see Price 2011 for a non-representational
understanding that underlies both pragmatism and causal
perspectivalism). In this context of P3, the role of scientific models
as vehicles of representation (cf. Frigg & Nguyen 2021; 2022) and
traditional conceptions of truth (cf. Andersen 2023) are reinterpreted
through new philosophical lenses. By the same token, the
representational means by which the representational function of models
is achieved are irreducibly pluralistic. (See Suárez 2024's proposal for
representational pluralism). Questions about the role of scientific
instruments and the extent to which instruments are 'perspectival' and
reflect a 'point of view' are becoming increasingly relevant (cf. Giere
2006; Crețu 2022 for a recent reappraisal).
Instructors:
* Ana-Maria Crețu (Bristol)
* Roman Frigg (LSE)
* Catherine Kendig (Michigan State University)
* Martin Kusch (Vienna)
* Mauricio Suárez (Complutense University of Madrid & Clare Hall
Cambridge)
* Fenner Stanley Tanswell (TU Berlin)
Lecturers:
* Holly Andersen (Simon Fraser University)
* Anjan Chakravartty (Miami)
* Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam & St. Andrews)
* Huw Price (Cambridge)
The summer school will be held in person from 15/09/2025 to 19/09/2025,
at Heinrich Heine University's Haus der Universität. We welcome
applications from current graduate students (MA and PhD) through our
website: https://p3-summerschool.netlify.app/call-for-applications. The
application deadline is 15/06/2025. There is no participation fee, but
participants must cover their travel and accommodation expenses. We
especially encourage applications from members of underrepresented
groups.
The event is organised by Daian Bica, Paul Hasselkuß, and Alexander
Christian (Düsseldorf). It is hosted and supported by Heinrich Heine
University, and endorsed by the German Society for Analytic Philosophy
as an asteroid event to GAP.12.
