The GSN is the teaching entity for the Munich Center of Neurosciences - Brain & Mind (MCN). Through creating an interdisciplinary network of research the GSN provides a stimulating environment for students and faculty to produce novel formulations of current concepts and theories. Successful applicants will be affiliated with the Research Center for Neurophilosophy and Ethics of Neurosciences (https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…) at the GSN. Projects in the research center fall in the following areas: * philosophy of cognitive neuroscience (explanation, reduction) * philosophy and cognitive science of agency (mental causation, free will, moral psychology, abilities) * philosophy and cognitive science of reasoning (e.g. deductive and non-deductive reasoning, logic and neural networks, decision making) * ethics of neuroscience (research ethics, enhancement) * philosophy of perception * philosophy and social cognition In the new application round we encourage applications in smaller focus areas in order to build research groups. In the 2024/25 round the focus areas are: * human agency (esp. mental causation, complex action, multi-tasking, attention, reductive and non-reductive explanation of agency) * metacognition (esp. Metacognition in perception, self-evaluation and sense of self) * group cognition (group epistemology, collective decisions and group responsibility) However, single exceptional and independent projects in one of the other areas are also encouraged. Applicants should have advanced training in philosophy (typically a Master's degree in philosophy) and a genuine interest in the neurosciences. This includes the willingness to acquire substantial knowledge of empirical work relevant to their philosophical project. Cooperative projects with empirical scientists in the network of the MCN are strongly encouraged. The application period opened on December 1st 2024 and will close on February 17th 2025, (12:00 noon CET). Please check our website (https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…) and the GSN website (https://www.gsn.uni-muenchen.de/apply/how_to_apply_active/index.html) for details concerning the application procedure. The application includes an outline of your proposed research project, a CV, an official transcript of your academic work (list of attended courses; grades), diplomas and two separate academic reference letters. Please also name two potential supervisors (possibly including one non-philosopher) from the core or affiliated neurophilosophy faculty of the GSN. --

CfA - Identity and Right-Wing Ideology (Berlin, 14 February 2025)

by Raphael Gustavo Aybar Valdivia

Call for Abstracts Graduate Conference Identity and Right-Wing Ideology Freie Universität Berlin Institute for Philosophy 14 February 2025 Confirmed keynote speakers: Nikita Dhawan (TU Dresden) and Torsten Menge (Northwestern University in Qatar) Right-wing movements have increased exponentially over the last decade. They pose a threat to democratic political systems by promoting nationalism, xenophobia, racism, and politically motivated violence. They tend to be structured around exclusive identities involving political myths about the existence of supra-personal entities or groups. These identities are portrayed as something under threat that is nonetheless worth preserving. An example is the Great Replacement Theory, which claims that white, Christian Europeans are being demographically and culturally replaced, usually by Muslim populations. This theory is, of course, not supported by quantitative evidence. However, proponents of this theory include prominent mainstream politicians (e.g., Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, or Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary) and people in extraordinary positions of power (e.g., businessman Elon Musk). Equally, a great proportion of the incidents involving considerable political violence (i.e., terror attacks such as the Christchurch Mosque shootings, or Anders Breivik’s attacks) occurring in recent years have been motivated by fears fuelled by this theory. This form of identity – conceived as a set of characteristics of a social group – involves a different, relational understanding implied by the desire for the former to 'remain the same'. In metaphysics, identity is conceived in two ways: qualitative (as a relation between two entities that have the same properties) and numerical (as a relation that an entity can only have with itself, usually conceived and examined as it is extended temporally). These issues come up in the context of the metaphysics of the self, as the question of personal identity over time. This asks what a necessary and sufficient condition is for a person at one point in time to be (numerically) identical with a person at another point in time – or what constitutes this identity. We invite abstracts from graduate students in philosophy and the social sciences that explore the ways in which right-wing ideology involves matters of identity. While interdisciplinary approaches are welcome, the aim will be to focus on the metaphysical commitments about identity these tend to involve. Conversely, can insights from metaphysics, especially but not limited to the question of personal identity (e.g., reductionism), be used to critique right-wing concerns, such as those involved by the great replacement theory? And on what grounds can we distinguish legitimate concerns that involve comparable identity relations (e.g., those informing anti-colonial struggles)? Participants will be offered up to 20 minutes to present their papers, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Presentations will be in English. Bursaries will be awarded to help with travel costs (paid as an honorarium). Priority will be given to those who cannot rely on institutional support to cover these costs. Submission guidelines: Please submit an abstract of up to 400 words by 12 January 2025. The abstract should be sent to mihnea.chiujdea(a)fu-berlin.de, attached to an e-mail with the subject “Abstract”, along with your name, affiliation, a brief biographical note and information regarding travel fund needs. Successful applicants will be notified by 17 January.

Webinar Invitation: Policy bias in economic research and the epistemological problems of econometrics: Lessons for designing economic policy processes | Jan 14, 3pm

by Zarah Weiss

Invitation Policy bias in economic research and the epistemological problems of econometrics: Lessons for designing economic policy processes SUERF BAFFI Bocconi webinar Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Online, Webex, 3-4.30 pm A recent paper finds considerable policy bias in economic research. Jelveh, Kogut and Naidu (2024) show that partisanship is detectable across fields and within fields, even across those estimating the same theoretical parameter. This poses serious challenges to economic policy development. 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. Yet, 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 models and econometrics as well as the inevitable role of expert judgement. Yet, understanding these challenges would be crucial to design policy processes that effectively address potential policy biases on economic policy development and ensure the integrity of that process. This SUERF panel discussion discusses how serious the policy bias in economic research is and how it affects policy development. Furthermore, panellists will explain how that policy bias is possible even when rigorous mathematical /statistical methods are employed. Finally, the panel suggests design features of economic policy development processes that improve its integrity in the face of the policy bias in economic research.

Project description: Some of the core fields of philosophy - including moral philosophy, value theory, and epistemology - are, at their heart, concerned with normative questions: questions about what is good or bad, right or wrong, justified or unjustified. These questions concern the content of judgements that human beings are constantly making and that structure our way of thinking, feeling, and acting. But while there is wide agreement in contemporary philosophy that normative judgements form a unified and important category of human thought, philosophers still struggle to understand what normativity actually is. One highly attractive hypothesis is that normativity can be analysed in terms of reasons - i.e. in terms of the factors that count in favour of or against actions or attitudes. The aim of REASONS F1RST is to systematically explore this Reasons-First Approach on a large scale and across various philosophical subdisciplines. Fostering multidisciplinary conversations between moral philosophy, epistemology, value theory, aesthetics, the philosophy of emotions, and related areas, the project will develop novel analyses of normative phenomena. It also seeks to address recent challenges to the Reasons-First Approach and to compare it to competing approaches. REASONS F1RST thus pursues a twofold objective: (i) to assess the merits and demerits of the Reasons-First Approach compared to alternative proposals, and (ii) to work out in detail how different normative phenomena - including values, obligations and rights, the justification of beliefs, as well as appropriateness norms for emotions - can be explained in terms of reasons. The work programme of REASONS F1RST will be carried out in four sub-projects: (1) Reasons and Value; (2) Reasons and Ought; (3) Reasons and Knowledge; and (4) Reasons and Fittingness. According to our present plans, one of the advertised positions is associated with sub-project (3), while the other is associated with sub-project (4). However, we will also seriously consider applications from candidates whose research interests concern other aspects of the project. Further information on the project is available at the project website: https://thestructureofnormativity.net/project. Your Tasks * conduct independent research in the context of the project (70 %) * actively participate in the regular meetings and events of the research group and contribute to organizing workshops and other events (20 %) * organizational tasks that are part of the self-administration of the university (10 %) We offer * salary according to Remuneration level 13 TV-L * fixed-term (limited until 31.03.2027) (§ 2 (1) sentence 2 of the WissZeitVG; in accordance with the provisions of the WissZeitVG and the Agreement on Satisfactory Conditions of Employment, the length of contract may differ in individual cases) * fulltime * internal and external training opportunities * variety of health, consulting and prevention services * reconcilability of family and work * flexible working hours * good transport connection * supplementary company pension * collegial working environment * open and pleasant working atmosphere * exciting, varied tasks Your Profile We expect * a scientific university degree (e. g.

Symposium Organizers: Leonie N. Bossert, Bernice Bovenkerk, Mark Ryan Symposium Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to dramatically impact the lives of domesticated, urban, and wild non-human animals (hereafter: animals), for good or bad (Singer and Fai Tse, 2023). AI-powered drones can take companion dogs for a walk, and animal robots can replace living companion animals or zoo animals (Bossert and Coeckelbergh, 2024). AI can provide alternatives to animal testing, for example, by predicting the toxicity of chemical compounds (Singer and Fai Tse, 2023). On the other hand, experiments with brain-computer interfaces can increase animal use (Coghlan and Parker, 2023). AI is used in self-driving cars, which may or may not be programmed to avoid animals on the road. Monitoring animals via AI-enabled trackers and drones can aid wildlife conservation but can also be abused by poachers (ibid.). AI-powered cameras for the scientific study and protection of wild animals can lead to animals changing their habits (ibid.). Finally, AI promises to make interspecies understanding and communication possible, e.g., with Alaskan humpback whales (McCowan et al., 2023). However, AI also raises ethical challenges. For example, speciesist bias in algorithms can either reinforce the popular image of animals as commodities and edible products, or it can paint an overly rosy picture of the way 'production animals' are housed (Hagendorff et al, 2023). Datafication in animal farming may lead to the further objectification of animals (Bos et al. 2018). It may lead us to conceive of animals as a 'batch of data'. Precision livestock farming (PLF) may also lead to alienation between farmers and animals and erode farmers' experiential knowledge. Farming systems that are run by AI harbour many health and welfare risks in case of malfunction. The use of AI in the case of urban or wild animals may have unintended consequences for animal behaviour and welfare. Trying to communicate with whales or other animals with AI can have detrimental effects on these animals' social structures and culture (Ryan and Bossert, 2024). During this symposium, we will discuss the ethical aspects of a wide range of AI applications in the context of animals. We invite talks that focus on specific applications of AI to animals and their ethical consequences and talks that deal with more theoretical issues around using AI for animals. Besides ethicists and philosophers, we invite scientists and engineers in AI design to join the symposium. The symposium relates to several topics central to the conference, but with animals as a central focus, as opposed to humans. For example: - AI in precision livestock farming - AI in animal testing - AI in veterinary medicine and companion animals - AI to interpret or communicate with animals - AI to understand animal cognition, emotions, or behaviours - AI for animal protection and conservation - AI, climate change, and biodiversity Call for Abstracts: We warmly invite presentations for this 2-day-symposium. If you want to present your research, please take note of the following information: - E-mail your abstract (no more than 300 words), with name and contact information of all co-authors, to mark.ryan(a)wur.nl by February 14th, 2025. - Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by February 28th. - The Symposium agenda will be sent to accepted presenters by March 28th. - The event takes place over two days during the conference (July 1st - July 3rd) - Following the event, we will invite presenters to develop their presentation into a full-length paper for a special issue. * Note: The presenters must register for the whole conference and all conference costs and fees are at their own discretion. ****************************************** (6) CALL FOR PAPERS (Passau, Deadline: 15.04.2025) XII.

If you would like to contribute an event as well, please see http://wld.cipsh.international/organise_event.html for further information. == Topic: After three years on the topic, we have realized that this context is too narrow to understand formalization and thus we have we added a yearly theme (although not all talks are necessarily aligned with it). This year we focus on ethical perspectives. Are there ethical aspects of the practices of formal sciences (including math), which role play formal arguments in politcal contexts, what about aspects of ethical AI ... This series of events began with the theme of foundations in the context of automated theorem proving: What are the chances and problems of the act of formalization in the context of mathematics? It is often said, that all of mathematics can be reduced to first-order logic and set theory. The derivation indicator view says that all proofs stand in some relation to a derivation, i.e. a mechanically checkable syntactical objects following fixed rules, that would not have any gaps. For a long time this was a mere hope. There may have been proofs of concepts from early logicists but derivation never played a big role in mathematical practice. The modern computer might change this. Interactive and automated theorem provers promise to make the construction of a justification without any gaps feasible for complex mathematics. Is this promise justified? Will the future of mathematical practice shift to more formal mathematics? Should it? We hope to illuminate such questions and focus especially on what these developments mean for the future of the curriculum of university students. == Contact: Web: https://sites.google.com/view/wldzurich2025 Mail: jperez(at)fsof.uned.es / or deniz.sarikaya(at)vub.be == Organizers: José Antonio Pérez Escobar (UNED) & Deniz Sarikaya (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, University of Lübeck) -- Links: ------ [1] http://www.human-abilities.de/ [2] https://www.pair.fau.eu/ [3] https://www.fau.eu/ [4] http://sophia.de/index.htm [5] https://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/tv-l/allg/ [6] https://caimed.de/en/ [7] https://www.uni-hannover.de/en/universitaet/stellenangebote-arbeit-an-der-u… [8] https://www.chancenvielfalt.uni-hannover.de/en/ [9] https://www.uni-hannover.de/en/dsgvo/datenschutzhinweis-bewerbungen [10] http://www.tagung-praktische-philosophie.org/

IVC Talk: Zofia Hałęza (University of Łódź) on "How Women Contributed to the Emergence of Polish Analytic Philosophy. Outstanding Female Philosophers from the Lvov-Warsaw School", December 12, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Zofia Hałęza (University of Łódź), who will give a talk on December 12, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Zofia Hałęza (University of Łódź) How Women Contributed to the Emergence of Polish Analytic Philosophy. Outstanding Female Philosophers from the Lvov-Warsaw School Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 12/12/2024 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G Abstract: From today's perspective, one of the most significant 20th-century discoveries in Polish philosophy's history was the Lvov-Warsaw School's rediscovery. The turbulent history of Poland and the political events after the Second World War led this group's members, who were still living, to the conviction that science would forget them. However, thanks to the woman philosopher Izydora Dąmbska and her influence on her pupils, the memory of the Lvov-Warsaw School has survived. I would even say - that the Lvov-Warsaw School has been rediscovered. Although the Lvov-Warsaw School was founded at the end of the 19th century by Kazimierz Twardowski, to a large extent his female students have contributed to the survival of the memory of his legacy, not only in the immaterial sphere, but also in the form of artefacts, archives and documents. In addition to their merits in the struggle for the survival of memory, women at the Lvov-Warsaw School practised philosophy equally with men. At the turn of the 20th century, this was a phenomenon unprecedented in any school of philosophy. A critical analysis of the history of philosophy is a vital phenomenon. After all, people write histories, and several different factors influence them. Thus, it is the history of Polish philosophy which I have been studying for several years. In the case of the Lvov-Warsaw School, we are dealing with a phenomenon that has yet to be sufficiently described-namely, the number of active women in this formation. In this seminar, I am eager to present the potential impact of my research, conducted as part of my PhD at the University of Lodz in the Doctoral School of Humanities. I will also share the inspiration that led me to this topic. How has the issue of women in the Lvov-Warsaw School been addressed in the past, and what promising avenues are there for further exploration? My research is primarily a critical analysis of the history of philosophy and a comparative analysis of the state of Polish philosophy at that time. In telling the story of women associated with the Lvov-Warsaw School, I will also present my research methodology and the unique historical and social conditions that enabled women in Poland to climb the scientific Olympus. I will emphasize the need for philosophical reflection in women's history, as it is not just a reenactment and reminder of forgotten figures and their achievements, but a crucial aspect that adds depth and significance to our understanding of the past. In the current situation, in addition to multiplying research on women's history, we should also ask ourselves - how do we do it? To what end do we conduct such research, and what does it result in?
