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.

Application: The candidate is required to submit, by February 13, 2025, a single PDF document via email to mariopor(a)pucsp.br. 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).

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.
