IVC Talk: Georg Brun (IVC Fellow) on "Explication Based Pluralism", January 23, 4.45 pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Georg Brun (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on January 23, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Georg Brun (IVC Fellow) EXPLICATION BASED PLURALISM Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 23/01/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: Carnap emphasized that for a given explicandum, there is no such thing as the correct explicatum, but only one or more adequate explicata. This talk addresses two questions: In what ways can an explication problem have more than one solution? In what sense do multiple solutions to explication problems give rise to pluralism? Based on an analysis of the general structure of explications, I will first develop a systematic overview of the surprisingly many factors that can be responsible for multiple outcomes of an explication project. I will then suggest some conditions under which it is plausible to interpret multiple outcomes as giving rise to explication-based pluralism.

Led by Donata Romizi and Michael Staudigl, it will first focus on the structure of applications for external teaching positions, the expectations of decision-making committees, and clues for writing a good application. The second part will focus on teaching preparation. Speakers will share their views on how to teach philosophy in a way that promotes reading, writing and critical thinking skills to undergraduate students, managing their expectations, presenting philosophical ideas, motivating class discussions, assigning homework, and giving feedback. This event is aimed primarily at PhD candidates in philosophy. I ask you to spread the word to those who may be interested. https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/events/details/news/pragmatic-academic-s… Best regards, Raphael -- MSc. Mag.

Call For Abstracts - PSA Around the world 2025

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

https://www.philsci.org/psa_around_the_world_2025.php In 2023, the Philosophy of Science Association launched a new initiative called PSA Around the World. The aim of the initiative is to reach out to the global community of philosophers of science and spotlight the rich diversity of practices and traditions in the field of philosophy of science via fully online conferences with a dedicated regional focus, running in the years when the Biennial Meeting of the PSA does not take place. The second PSA Around the World conference spotlights Eastern and Central Europe and is organized by the East European Network for Philosophy of Science (https://eenps.weebly.com/). The conference is open to all PSA members worldwide. Contributed papers may be on any topic in philosophy of science. Scholars working in Eastern and Central Europe are particularly encouraged to submit papers, and papers exploring the philosophy of science in Eastern and Central European contexts are most welcome. The PSA Around the World 2025 Committee is committed to assembling a program with high-quality papers on a variety of topics and diverse presenters that reflect the full range of current work in the philosophy of science. Given the time zones constraints, and with an eye to increasing diversity of topics, there is no call for symposia for this conference. The conference will run fully online for three days and different time slots to accommodate a global audience in various time zones: Thursday, November 6; Friday, November 14; Saturday, November 22 (precise timing for each day TBA). The conference fee is $50 and is able to be waived. Submissions should consist of a 1000-word abstract and be prepared for anonymous review with no information identifying the author in the body of the abstract. For co-authored papers, the presenting author should submit the abstract. Abstracts should be submitted using the SciencesConf link: http://psaatw25.sciencesconf.org. Users will need to register for a SciencesConf account before submitting an abstract. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2025, 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time. All presenters should be members of the Philosophy of Science Association, but if this represents an unreasonable burden, please reach out to director(a)philsci.org. The Program Committee expects to announce its decision on papers accepted for presentation by June 2025. Authors of accepted abstracts are encouraged to post full-length papers as PSA Around the World 2025 Conference Papers at philsci-archive.pitt.edu (a publicly accessible digital archive) prior to the meeting. Paper presentation at the conference should take no more than 15 minutes to allow 15 minutes for questions (in a 30-minute time slot per paper). In accordance with the current PSA policy no one is permitted to present more than once at each PSA meeting. A scholar may appear as co-author on more than one paper but may present only once at PSA Around the World 2025. General questions about contributed papers should be directed to the Co-Chair of the PSA AtW 2025 Program Committee, Tomáš Marvan, at marvan(a)flu.cas.cz. To maintain anonymity in the review process, questions about specific submissions should be sent to office(a)philsci.org, as this address will be monitored by someone not involved in the review process.

Female researchers are encouraged to apply for the position. After an initial review of the applications, a select group of candidates will be shortlisted for the interview round. Project description The identity crisis of philosophy is a large-scale phenomenon beginning in the 19th century and extending throughout the entire 20th century, following us even today: many of the questions that were raised in the 19th century are still relevant today: is there a place for philosophy in the development of science? What is the relationship between philosophy and science? To assess such a large-scale phenomenon and its effects on contemporary thought, we need to investigate first its main turning points. This project aims to provide a unified account of the identity crisis of philosophy in the 1930s by examining it through the lens of four philosophical traditions: Neo-Kantianism (Cassirer), logical empiricism (Carnap), phenomenology (Husserl) and hermeneutics (Heidegger).

IVC Talk: Caterina del Sordo (IVC Fellow) on "Quasi-analysis Vs. Explication. The Early Carnap on Conceptual Engineering", January 16, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Caterina del Sorda (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on January 16, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Caterina del Sordo (IVC Fellow) QUASI-ANALYSIS VS. EXPLICATION. THE EARLY CARNAP ON CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date:16/01/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: This paper calls into question the thesis that early Carnap's rational reconstruction arises as a proto-version of his later and more mature idea of explication. The aim of the paper is to show that (1) according to the criteria of similarity, exactness, and fruitfulness, rational reconstruction qualifies as an explication, and that (2) according to their explanatory preconditions, rational reconstruction and explication emerge as processes of conceptual generalization and specification, respectively. To support (1), I consider rational reconstruction, in terms of early Carnap's quasi-analysis, as a representational theory of mathematical structures; to support (2), I rely on formal concept analysis as a common framework for comparing conceptual constructions.

This conference and book volume seek to explore the multifaceted relationship between digitalization and dignity, addressing the challenges that technological advancements pose, for example, to our fundamental rights, privacy, and sense of self-worth. We invite scholars from various philosophical backgrounds and disciplines to contribute to this critical discourse.Issues of control, safety, respect, and justice in online spaces demand urgent attention, calling for a reevaluation of existing ethical frameworks and political philosophies. The opacity of complex algorithms, often referred to as the "black box" problem, poses significant challenges to explainability and transparency, making it difficult for users to understand how decisions affecting them are made. This also calls to address the need for robust regulation and policies to mitigate the adverse effects of digitalization on society. Discussions on digital literacy are also encouraged, as empowering individuals with the knowledge to navigate digital spaces is essential for protecting their dignity and rights. Contributions that offer insights into the ethical considerations and propose solutions for enhancing fairness and reducing discrimination - for example with respect to vulnerable and marginalized groups - in digital systems are highly valued. This call for papers seeks to foster a philosophical dialogue that not only critiques the current state of digital technologies but also envisions a future where dignity is upheld in the face of rapid technological advancement. Papers will be featured in a book volume dedicated to this theme. We invite abstracts of 500 words (in Word format) and a brief CV. Travel and accommodation expenses up to 500EUR can be covered. Please send your abstract before February 28 to the organizers @ this email address: gottfried.schweiger(a)plus.ac.at ****************************************** (2) CALL FOR PAPERS (Duisburg/Essen, Deadline: 28.02.2025) Online Conference "The Language of Psychotherapy: An Interdisciplinary Perspective" The research project "The Therapeutic Game" (PI Stefan Rinner) funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and based at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Duisburg-Essen is organising an interdisciplinary two-day online conference on questions regarding language and its use in psychotherapeutic settings, to be held via Zoom on May 15 and 16.

Traditionally, discussions of metaphor tend to emphasize either its aesthetic aspect, often at the expense of its epistemic value, or vice versa. Our hypothesis, however, is that the aesthetic dimension of metaphors can actively contribute to and enhance their epistemic significance. We think that this investigation naturally leads to questions about the relationship between metaphors and images. For instance, to what extent do metaphors possess pictorial qualities? Some scholars have even suggested the existence of genuine visual metaphors. In this context, it is worth exploring the distinct properties metaphors acquire when realized visually. Further questions are: Can the epistemic value of metaphors be clarified by drawing upon the epistemic value of images? How do the aesthetic and epistemic aspects of images and metaphors relate to each other? What epistemic value can art and aesthetic objects in general hold? Is there a unique epistemic value inherent in metaphors themselves? Which value can metaphors and analogies have for science and (scientific) understanding in general? We invite contributions that explore these and other related questions from the perspectives of philosophy of language, linguistics, epistemology, philosophy of science, aesthetics, art history, or cultural studies. The deadline for submissions is November 1st, 2025. Submissions should be made through the journal's online system. When submitting, please be sure to select our special issue from the dropdown menu provided. If this step is missed, the manuscript will be processed as a regular submission.

Das ist jedenfalls seit Jahren überall zu hören und zu lesen. Haben wir das Argumentieren verlernt? Oder waren wir nie besonders gut darin? Wozu sollten wir überhaupt in den argumentativen Austausch mit anderen treten, und warum fällt uns das so schwer? Bei der Tagung suchen wir Antworten. Dazu betrachten wir im ersten Teil aktuelle Diagnosen des Stands der Debattenkultur. Dabei werden wir unter anderem auf wachsende Sachferne und Wahrheitsvergessenheit, Emotionalisierung und Verrohung stoßen. In einem solchen Klima scheinen sachliche Argumente einen besonders schlechten Stand zu haben. Sollten wir daher unter anderem bei ethischen und politischen Kontroversen besser auf das Argumentieren verzichten und stattdessen versuchen, unsere Positionen mit anderen Mitteln durchzusetzen? Eine alternative Reaktion könnte darin bestehen, sich stärker um die Ausbildung und Förderung argumentativer Fähigkeiten und Haltungen zu bemühen. Da wir diese nicht immer schon besitzen, sondern erst erwerben müssen, bedürfte es dazu neuer Bildungsformate. Im zweiten Teil der Tagung stellen wir unter anderem Praxis-Projekte vor, die eben dies leisten sollen. Zum Abschluss loten wir aus, inwieweit sich die Debattenkultur durch solche Initiativen verbessern lässt. Die Tagung richtet sich an Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren im schulischen und außerschulischen Bildungsbereich und darüber hinaus an alle Interessierten.
