Samuel C. Fletcher, "Spare the Rod: Relativity as Pure Chronometry" - Physics meets Philosophy

by Sebastian Horvat

Dear all, You are hereby invited to the next "Physics meets Philosophy" talk by Samuel C. Fletcher (University of Oxford) Title: Spare the Rod: Relativity as Pure Chronometry (see abstract below) Date: March 28th (Friday) 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/62116122970?pwd=lStKbUlbkGbPghncW9Dj3RW8tUmuAG.1 Abstract: At the dawn of general relativity's golden age in the 1950s, Irish mathematician and physicist John Synge proposed to reduce spatial concepts to temporal concepts. Synge argued that the structure of the spacetime metric allows one to define length in terms of time, a reduction of chronogeometry to what he calls pure chronometry. Synge's arresting proposal nevertheless has two problems. First, he retains an inadequate operationalist definition of durations in terms of "standard clocks." Second, his technical argument only defines infinitesimal length in terms of infinitesimal durations. In light of these criticisms, I defend a more moderate version of Synge's thesis and sketch a mathematical argument to establish it.

Reminder: Amie Thomasson, "Starting a step back: Functional Pluralism and the Work of Metaphysics" - PACE/KiC Metaphilosophical Talk Series

by Sebastian Horvat

Dear all, This is a kind reminder for tomorrow's talk of the PACE/KiC Metaphilosophical Talk Series by Amie Thomasson, Dartmouth College Title: Starting a step back: Functional Pluralism and the Work of Metaphysics Date: March 27th, 2025 (Thursday) Time: 16:45-18:15 Location: Hörsaal 50, Hauptgebäude (2.Stock, Stiege 8) - Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien Abstract: Metaphysics traditionally answers questions such as “Are there properties, universals, numbers, composite artifacts, fictional characters…?’ ‘(If so), what are they like? How are they related to minds, physical objects, etc.? Does ‘positing’ these things add explanatory power to our theories?’… In this paper I will argue that we should begin our questioning back a step, and begin by asking: “How does talk of properties, numbers, ... enter language, and what functions does it serve?” For doing so (I will argue) enables us to reevaluate many classic metaphysical debates, to reassess prominent criteria used in metaphysics, and to redirect metaphysics to more fruitful pursuits. We look forward to seeing you! Best wishes, The PACE/KiC organising team https://pace.phl.univie.ac.at/ https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/

We are pleased to announce the student conference _Science and Philosophy - Shared History, Diverging Paths?,_ which will take place on _25-26 July 2025_ at _Leibniz University Hannover. _ We invite _Bachelor's and Master's students_ to submit their abstracts. Participation in the conference is free for everyone and _some financial support is available for international participants._ Please find the full call for abstracts and more information in _our website [2]_. Feel free to contact us at _team(a)sciphihan.de_ with any questions. Description: The question of the relationship between philosophy and science is as old as the respective practices themselves. In recent debates, however, it may seem as if both have grown out of sync, talking past each other, often with little or no respect for each other's realm and method, their arguments and positions. Our conference focuses on three main themes to address this gap: _I. HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS_ We will examine _the relationship between philosophy and (the) science(s)_, their emergence, differing methods, and potential decline, _across different historical periods_, including, but not limited, to the _Western canon_ from ancient to contemporary philosophy. Participants who are interested in _non-Western traditions_ (such as Islamicate or Buddhist philosophy) may submit a paper that does not correspond to the periodisation mentioned above. _II. PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCIENCES_ In this section we address key thematic areas in _contemporary philosophy of scientific fields_, e.g. philosophy of biology, philosophy of physics, philosophy of the social sciences. These contributions should focus on the relationship between philosophy and one defined scientific field, and/or on the different methodologies and characteristics of the philosophy of the hard sciences vs the philosophy of the soft sciences. _III. META-REFLECTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE_ explore the respective _roles, boundaries, and evolving relationship between philosophy and science_, as well as emerging intersections between them. Organisers: Johannes Baer, Anni Bukowski, Seung Hoon Hahm, Amir Latifi, Kristina Malzahn, and Paulina Oppermann ****************************************** (4) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Berlin, 10-11.04.2025) Secondary Qualities and the Epistemology of Perception Workshop of the DFG Emmy-Noether Project 'A Sensible World' _Secondary Qualities and the Epistemology of Perception_ Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 10-11 April 2025 The workshop aims to discuss the relationship between theories of secondary qualities and the epistemology of perception, both historically (with the help of figures from the phenomenological tradition and early analytic philosophy) and theoretically. It is based on the idea that different accounts of secondary qualities are proper to create different epistemological problems concerning perception. In particular, eliminativists about colors, sounds, etc., have to explain to what extent our perception of physical reality is still veridical, while naive realists have to explain how our naive beliefs can be compatible with the conclusions of the natural sciences, especially physics, whose worldview includes nothing like colors, sounds, etc. as given to us in ordinary experience. _Programme_ _Thursday, 10 April 2025_ 14:15-15:45 _Fiona Macpherson_ (University of Glasgow) _A Problem for Determining the Structural Features of Experience: A Pessimistic Meta-induction_ 16:00-17:30 _Harald Wiltsche_ (Linköping University) _Roses are Red and Physics is Great. On How to be a Color Realist_ _Friday, 11 April 2025_ 10:15-11:45 _Giulia Martina_ (TU Dortmund) _Dawes Hicks on Colours and Appearance_ 14:15-15:45 _Hamid Taieb_ (HU Berlin) _Two Phenomenological Views on Truths about Colours_ 16:00-17:30 _Søren Overgaard_ (University of Copenhagen) _Colour Primitivism and the Causal Argument_ _Venue: _Room 2249a, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, 10117 Berlin, Germany _Attendance: _For registration, please write to kate.audrey.westermaier(a)student.hu-berlin.de _Organiser: _Hamid Taieb (hamid.taieb(a)hu-berlin.de) _For more information: _www.a-sensible-world.net [3] ****************************************** (5) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Innsbruck, 07-08.05.2025) The Objectivity of Morality: A Workshop in Metaethics Organizer: Bruno Niederbacher (bruno.niederbacher(a)uibk.ac.at) You are cordially invited to participate in _The Objectivity of Morality: A Workshop in Metaethics_, a two-day workshop exploring key questions in metaethics. _Program:_ _Wednesday, May 7 | Seminarraum VI (Karl-Rahner-Platz 3, 1st floor)_ 16:45-18:15 | Christopher Kulp (Santa Clara University): Why Moral Objectivity? _Thursday, May 8 | Dekanatssitzungssaal (Karl-Rahner-Platz 1, 1st floor)_ 8:30-9:30 | Christopher Kulp (Santa Clara University): Moral Properties as the Foundation of Moral Objectivity 9:30-10:30 | Gerhard Ernst (University Erlangen-Nürnberg): On the Objectivity of Reasons 11:00-12:00 | Marie-Luisa Frick (University of Innsbruck): Moral Objectivity?

With this workshop exclusively for early career scholars, we offer a venue for cutting-edge research at the interface of (a) philosophy of economics and (b) values in science debates. Namely, we want to investigate in-how-far non-epistemic value judgements enter the modelling process in economic models currently important in policy design. We aim to create a unique collaborative environment aside from the beaten paths of conference sessions: rather than merely presenting worked-out proposals and finished papers, we want to think together about novel ideas and shape joint future projects in real-time. Thus, the PEM-Lab will consist of two distinct phases: First, a set of online reading group sessions to discuss the relevant literature in connection to our own research ideas taking place in January and February 2026. Here, we get to know each other and each other's work. Second, an in-person meeting in Hanover (Germany) at the end of February 2026 to deep-dive into debates where we have left off. The aim here is to foster international collaboration. Please find more information about the PEM-Lab's subject matter, structure, dates and other details here [4]. We encourage submissions from all early PhD students who are working on the nexus of values in science and models in economics regardless of the disciplinary affiliation. We especially encourage applications from PhD students from non-European and North American universities and ask for circulation in relevant communities if you happen to know some. We will assist attendees with visa applications, accommodation and are securing funding to provide travel grants for scholars without sufficient institutional means. _Submission and Deadline_ Please prepare the following documents and submit your application through the application form [5]: 1. A letter of motivation (max 800 words) including a brief summary of your previous academic work and a concise statement of what you want to learn and work on during the workshop. Note: this should not be a fleshed-out research proposal, novel and conceptual ideas are welcome! 2. A CV Submission Deadline: 1 June 2025 Decisions communicated by: 1 July 2025 Please visit the project's web page for more details regarding the selection process. _Date and Location_ [Online] Informal Get-together: December 2025 [Online] Reading group and presentation sessions: 07 January 2026, 21 January 2026, 04 February 2026 and 18 February 2026 [In-person] Workshop at the University of Hanover: 25-27 February 2026 _Contact_ Please feel free to reach out in case of any questions!

Invitation: APSE Reading Circle - Natalie Alana Ashton - Creating a Strong Foundation for Neurodiverse Epistemology

by Vinzenz Fischer

Dear all, we warmly invite you to the next APSE (Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology) Reading Circle. The talk will be held by Natalie Alana Ashton (University of Sterling). When: Thursday, 27.3.2025, 15:00 - 17:00 Where: HS 3A, NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien) Creating a Strong Foundation for Neurodiverse Epistemology Autistic people have had unprecedented success building effective epistemic communities online. A detailed analysis of the conditions and practices which produced and sustain these communities would be illuminating for both the epistemology of social media and the emerging area of neurodiverse epistemology. However, epistemology has only recently begun to theorise about marginalised groups, and many of its foundational principles are ill-suited to this work. In this talk I'll outline a planned project to develop a novel approach to neurodiverse epistemology, which challenges some of the fundamental assumptions of the early, exploratory literature, and lays the groundwork for a participatory methodology which can do real justice to neurodiverse communities. Speaker Bio: Natalie Alana Ashton works on the political and social aspects of epistemology, and is interested in how oppression and power effect political deliberation in the online sphere. In the past she has focused on theoretical issues (exploring how to integrate feminist standpoint theory and hinge epistemology, whether these views should be understood as relativist, and what that means). Her current work is on the practical applications of such views: what they tell us about social media legislation, platform design, and online communities. Reading Circle (1-3 PM): We will focus our discussion on an article by Natalie Ashton and a few pages of an interim project report (attached pdf): Ashton, N.A. (2020). Scientific Perspectives, Feminist Standpoints, and Non-Silly Relativism. In: Crețu, AM., Massimi, M. (eds) Knowledge from a Human Point of View. Synthese Library, vol 416. Springer, Cham. https://doi-org.uaccess.univie.ac.at/10.1007/978-3-030-27041-4_5 Shaping Democracy in the Digital Age: Interim report of the 'Norms for the New Public Sphere' project. (Pages 3-6 and 20-22) Link: https://newpublicsphere.stir.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/NNPS-Report-F… As introduction to Natalie Ashtons approach, we suggest this short article: Ashton, N.A. (2021). Why Twitter is (Epistemically) Better Than Facebook. _Open For Debate. _Link: https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/openfordebate/why-twitter-is-epistemically-bett… As introduction to definitions of Neurodiversity, we suggest the introduction of this book: Chapman, R. (2023). _Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism_ (1st ed.). Pluto Press. https://doi.org/10.2307/jj.8501594 For further reading regarding the topic: Medina, J.

Wien) war erfolgreiche Schriftstellerin, freischaffende avant-garde Museologin und Erziehungswissenschafterin. Sie floh 1937 vor der NS-Verfolgung und fand im englischsprachigen Ausland mit ihrem bahnbrechenden museologischbiopsychologisch-pädagogischen Wirken langfristig Anerkennung. In Museum. Learning. Democracy. The Work and Life of Alma S. Wittlin (1899-1991) (Bd. 19, Reihe „Emigration – Exil – Kontinuität“, Herausg. Friedrich Stadler; LIT Verlag) zeichnet die Museologin, Kuratorin und Kunstvermittlerin Hadwig Kraeutler Wittlins Lebensweg sorgfältig nach. Welche persönlichen und historischen Kontexte wurden in dieser „ExilBiografie“ wirksam? Gibt es Zusammenhänge zwischen Alma Wittlins „österreichischeuropäischen“ Erfahrungen und ihrem späteren, interdisziplinären Wirken? Mit zwei Leseproben aus Wittlins Buch Isabella. Begründerin der Weltmacht Spanien (1936) und im Gespräch mit Robert Streibel werden Wittlins schriftstellerische Arbeit und ihr Pioniereinsatz beim Internationalen PEN vorgestellt. Ausklang mit „interdisziplinärem Glas”. Wir danken den Fördergeber*innen: Nationalfonds der Republik Österreich für Opfer des Nationalsozialismus, Zukunftsfonds der Republik Österreich, Stadt Wien/Abteilung Kultur, Land Vorarlberg/Abteilung Wissenschaft und Kultur … und Unterstützer*innen: Forum „Zeitgeschichte der Universität Wien“, LIT Verlag, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek und Österreichischer PEN-Club.

Amie Thomasson, "Starting a step back: Functional Pluralism and the Work of Metaphysics" - PACE/KiC Metaphilosophical Talk Series

by Sebastian Horvat

Dear all, The PACE and KiC Projects cordially invite you to the next talk of the Metaphilosophical Talk Series by Amie Thomasson, Dartmouth College Title: Starting a step back: Functional Pluralism and the Work of Metaphysics Date: March 27th, 2025 (Thursday) Time: 16:45-18:15 Location: Hörsaal 50, Hauptgebäude (2.Stock, Stiege 8) - Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien Abstract: Metaphysics traditionally answers questions such as “Are there properties, universals, numbers, composite artifacts, fictional characters…?’ ‘(If so), what are they like? How are they related to minds, physical objects, etc.? Does ‘positing’ these things add explanatory power to our theories?’… In this paper I will argue that we should begin our questioning back a step, and begin by asking: “How does talk of properties, numbers, ... enter language, and what functions does it serve?” For doing so (I will argue) enables us to reevaluate many classic metaphysical debates, to reassess prominent criteria used in metaphysics, and to redirect metaphysics to more fruitful pursuits. We look forward to seeing you! Best wishes, The PACE/KiC organising team https://pace.phl.univie.ac.at/ https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/
