A student conference and a workshop Tübingen, 15-17 April 2025 Organised by Silvia Caprioglio Panizza and Eva-Maria Düringer Funded by the DFG Research Grant Natural Badness: Suffering and Its Place in Contemporary Virtue Ethics We welcome abstract submissions for the student conference on 'Suffering and Attention' which will take place at the University of Tübingen on 15 April 2025. Students at all stages, from BA and MA to PhD, are very welcome to apply. Come and share your ideas in an inclusive, constructive, and non-adversarial environment! The conference will be followed by a workshop with invited speakers on 16 and 17 April 2025 (see below). Description: Suffering has always been topical. Where there is life, there is the capacity to suffer. The contemporary world is plagued by increasing wars, migration crises, and political extremism. Billions of animals suffer and die every day due to human consumption and climate change. Global mental health has been worsening for decades. But what precisely is suffering? It is more than pain, and it is more than things going badly. But what? And what, if anything, should we do about it? The nature of suffering has recently become a topic of lively debate in analytic philosophy. In Suffering and Virtue (2018), Michael Brady thinks of suffering as 'displeasures that we mind', while the volume The Philosophy of Suffering (2020), co-edited by Brady, David Bain and Jennifer Corns, collects a wide array of different views: suffering is conceived e.g. as negatively construing one's situation, as a severe mental disruption, or as an emotion directed at pain. Different as these views are, they all agree that suffering is essentially experiential. But not even this seems to be a given. Corns (2022) has recently argued that suffering is significantly disrupted agency, hence not essentially marked by any experience at all - a view shared by some virtue ethical stances on suffering who take suffering to consist in prevention of flourishing, experienced or not. The account of suffering we accept has a bearing on the way we will answer the ethical questions that suffering gives rise to: How do we engage with suffering, in ourselves and others? Do we have a duty always to alleviate or minimise it? Should we ever welcome it? Is it acceptable to look away, or do we have a responsibility to pay attention to it? And how do we attend to it without being crushed? The aim of this conference is to raise questions about the nature and ethics of suffering by putting in conversation contemporary analytic approaches with historical, continental, and non-Western traditions, and by broadening the scope to include reflections on the suffering of both human and non-human animals, environmental perspectives, and questions of suffering in the philosophy of medicine and mental health. * Students with an interest in the topic should feel encouraged to apply, even if their work does not fit neatly into any of the approaches outlined. Questions to be addressed include, but are not limited to: - What is the nature of suffering? - Is suffering ever to be welcomed? - Simone Weil, attention and affliction - Suffering and attention in Buddhist philosophy - What does it mean to attend to suffering? Is it possible, and ought we to do it? - What kinds of moral responsibility, if any, does suffering give rise to? - How does suffering in oneself compare to our perception and response to suffering in others? - What is the proper way to respond to suffering? - How do different philosophical traditions understand suffering, and what are their main contributions and weaknesses? Students are invited to submit a 200 word abstract (approximately), suitable for a 15-20 minute talk followed by a short Q&A, to silvia.caprioglio-panizza(a)uni-tuebingen.de by 10 February 2025. Decisions will be sent within two weeks of that date. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at the email address above. * Participants at the conference are welcome, but not required to, attend the workshop after the conference. The workshop speakers are: Elisa Aaltola (University of Turku), Michael Brady (University of Glasgow), Silvia Caprioglio Panizza (University of Tübingen), Dorothea Debus (University of Konstanz), Eva-Maria Düringer (University of Tübingen), Ian James Kidd (University of Nottingham), Kamila Pacovská (University of Pardubice), Christopher Thomas (Manchester Metropolitan University), Mariëtte Willemsen (Amsterdam University College) Please note that the conference/workshop and refreshments are free for everyone, but unfortunately we are unable to offer travel bursaries for accepted participants. ****************************************** (2) CALL FOR PAPERS (Berlin, Deadline: 03.03.2025) 2. Studi-Kongress für öffentliche Philosophie 25.-27.4 Wir sind eine Initiative von Studierenden der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin und veranstalten vom 25.-27. April 2025 unseren zweiten Studierenden-Kongress für öffentliche Philosophie. Angesichts einer zunehmend polarisierenden Diskurskultur und dem Erstarken von Post-Truth Phänomenen wie Fake News und Bullshitting, ist es unser Ziel, den Wert der differenzierten Argumentation wieder in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. In der Philosophie behandeln wir viele gesellschaftsrelevante Themen auf hohem Niveau - verbleiben damit aber häufig im akademischen Elfenbeinturm. Das wollen wir ändern. Zudem möchten wir Studierenden die Möglichkeit geben, ihre Forschung der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren und dadurch philosophische Selbstwirksamkeit zu erfahren. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie unseren Call for Paper an Studierende weiterleiten würden bzw. in Ihren Seminaren darauf aufmerksam machen. Die Einsende-Deadline ist der 3.3.2025. Den Call for Paper und alle weiteren Informationen und Kontaktmöglichkeiten finden Sie in unserem Linktree: https://linktr.ee/pragmatische.philosophie ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (Saarbrücken, Deadline: 10.04.2025) WoW 2025 - Workshop on Welfare and Ethics 2-3 July 2025 Saarland University, Germany _Keynote speakers_ Chris Heathwood (University of Colorado, Boulder) Hilary Greaves (Oxford University) _Information on the workshop_ Considerations about the nature of welfare, the value of welfare, its distribution, or welfare-based claims and complaints are central to moral philosophy. They are of particular concern for all philosophers who take welfare to be (at least) one source for normative reasons. Evaluative and deontic considerations about welfare provide an array of fascinating philosophical questions. It is (quite) uncontroversial that welfare has moral value and provides moral reasons; but it is highly contested how in particular. We ought not to harm people, but do we also ought to benefit them? Does this include future people - even if their existence depends on our actions? And can we aggregate people's welfare, or should we limit the trade-offs between their harms and benefits? Our account of welfare has implications for ethics; but do ethical considerations also provide reasons to adopt one or another theory of welfare? What is the interaction between theories of welfare and the ethics of welfare? Some lives are better and some are worse; but what constitutes their prudential value? Are well-being and ill-being analogous or do they differ in structure and relevance - and what do particular theories imply? What are the relevant underlying concepts of desire, pleasure, friendship, or other objective goods on which welfare may depend? This workshop provides a forum for the discussion of those and related questions. It aims at rallying scholars of philosophy to expand our understanding in these issues, and we hope to promote the philosophical engagement with ethics, welfare, and how they interact. _Call for Papers_ We are inviting submissions for talks, which should be between 20 and 30 minutes in length. We are particularly interested in current or future research projects, and especially welcome submissions from philosophers in underrepresented groups. To propose a talk, please send an abstract of approximately 500 words as a PDF attachment to workshoponwelfare(a)gmail.com. The abstract should be suitable for blind review, i.e. it should not contain any information that may identify you as the author. The deadline for submission is 10 April 2025. We aim to notify you about the acceptance of your paper by the end of April. Please make sure that the email to which the abstract is attached contains your name, institutional affiliation, and the title of the paper. The workshop is organised by Jonas Harney (TU Dortmund University), Thorsten Helfer (Saarland University), Maximilian Klein (Saarland University) and Hasko von Kriegstein (Toronto Metropolitan University) and generously supported by UdS Professorship for Practical Philosophy.

Januar.2025, 17.00 Uhr, Hörsaal I (Karl-Rahner-Platz 3):_ _The Ontology of Individual Particulars_ _Abstract_ Peter Strawson claimed that each object of our everyday experience is one qua individual particular. However, why would something be one (= single), if it is individual and also particular? I argue that individuality and particularity introduce two different ways of being one; individuality is descriptive, while particularity is indexical. And yet, each object is one! How can this be? I argue that Aristotle, too, had thought that an object is an individual particular (_tode ti - hekaston/ti_), but he argued that, additionally, the oneness of an individual particular requires metaphysical justification. Aristotle's solution is that an 'individual particular' is one because what's particular qualifies what's individual in the object (particularising it). I further suggest the alternative possibility of developing the converse of Aristotle's solution for oneness, namely, that an 'individual particular' is one because what's individual qualifies what's particular in the object (individualising it). I do so by leaning on the (anti-Aristotelian, anti-descriptivist) 'indexical metaphysics' of Michael Ayers. _Masterclass With Anna Marmodoro: 29. Januar.2025, 10.00 Uhr, Dekanatssitzungssaal (Karl-Rahner-Platz 3):_ _Augustine's De Ordine_ Augustine approaches the problem of evil in _De Ordine_, trying to show that God is not causally responsible for _all_ human actions -specifically, he is not responsible for evil ones. In her unpublished paper, Marmodoro argues that Augustine's intuition, as developed through his dialectical engagement with Licentius, is that _all _human actions are governed by determinism, but _not all_are governed by teleology. More abstractly, Augustine's idea is that efficient causation may be decoupled from teleological causation; this is the case when evil happens. In this masterclass, we explore Marmodoro's main ideas on _De Ordine_ and discuss her interpretation of the metaphysical commitments underlying Augustine's thought.

Please register by sending an e-mail to pluralism.workshop(a)uni-wuppertal.de by _07.02.2025_. _About the Workshop_ The idea that science should converge on a single, ultimate truth has become contested as the dominant view in the academic world; scientific pluralism has gained wide acceptance. However, these discussions have become so rich and entangled that now we can speak of a confusing "plurality of [scientific] pluralisms" (Wylie 2015). The overall goal of this workshop is to examine and clarify different ideas of scientific pluralism. While proponents of scientific pluralism argue that pluralism offers a range of epistemic benefits which are conducive to scientific progress (Chang, 2012, 2022), pluralism not only comes with benefits but also with costs (e.g., Lari and Mäki 2024). This raises the question of the conditions under which pluralism contributes to scientific progress and those under which it may impede it. In addition to its role in promoting progress, the relationship between pluralism and the social and institutional organisation of science is also a subject of growing debate. Given that science is significantly shaped by social values (Longino 1990), scientific pluralism is increasingly discussed in the context of social and epistemic diversity as a crucial element for objective and inclusive knowledge production. One of the primary subjects to be addressed is that of how diverse research groups can fruitfully collaborate in order to foster scientific progress, and what part institutions play in this process. The workshop investigates the complex relationship between scientific pluralism, epistemic diversity and scientific progress, both theoretically and through the examination of case studies. The overall goal is to discuss whether pluralism hinders or contributes to progress, and to explore the roles of institutional and social structures in this dynamic. A particular focus is put on the social sciences, with an emphasis on the fields of psychology and economics, but case studies from any other field of science are very welcome. _Workshop Themes and Questions:_ _1. Pluralism and Scientific Progress:_ * Under what specific conditions does pluralism contribute to scientific progress, and in what contexts might it impede progress? * How do different forms of pluralism (such as methodological, theoretical, and epistemic) affect the course of scientific progress across various disciplines? * What kind of progress are we talking about in relation to scientific pluralism? _2. Epistemic Diversity:_ * What is the link between epistemic and social diversity and (value) pluralism? * How does epistemic diversity within research teams and scientific communities influence the generation of knowledge? * What are the benefits and challenges of fostering epistemic diversity in scientific research, particularly in the social sciences? _3. __Social Organization and Institutional Structures:_ * What roles do social organization and institutional structures play in fostering or hindering pluralism and epistemic diversity in scientific research? * What institutional measures can be implemented to overcome barriers and promote a more inclusive and cooperative scientific environment? _4. Case Studies:_ * Which scientific fields, e.g. in the social sciences, are particularly interesting for investigating the relationship between pluralism, epistemic diversity, and progress? What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples of pluralistic approaches in the various scientific fields? * What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples where plurality seems to be lacking? _Organizing Committee:_ * Jeremias Düring, University of Wuppertal * Anastasiia Lazutkina, University of Wuppertal * Charlotte Constanze Poller, University of Wuppertal _Keynote Speakers:_ * Paul Hoyningen-Huene * Inkeri Koskinen * David Ludwig For more information, please visit our workshop website https://grk2696.de/scientific-pluralism-workshop/ or contact us at pluralism.workshop(a)uni-wuppertal.de.

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.

Dear all, You are cordially invited to our last pragmatic academic event of the WS24 on Teaching in Philosophy & External Teaching Applications Date: 17.01.25 - 11:30-13:00 - Room 3A Speakers: Michael Staudigl and Donata Romizi Moderator: Mira Magdalena Sickinger If you're planning to apply for external teaching positions, or if you'd like to brush up on your teaching skills in philosophy, this workshop is for you! 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.

The document must include: (i) A project proposal of up to 4 pages (Times New Roman/Arial 11, 1.5 spacing) addressing the Identity Crisis of Philosophy in the 1930s in the following philosophical Traditions: Neokantianism, Logical Empiricism, Phenomenology and Hermeneutics (ii) a cover letter describing the candidates background and profile, as well as the alignment between the candidates interests and skills and the research project (maximum 800 words).

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).
