*VDP Academic Writing Workshop: Peer-Feedback
Datum: 4. März, 14:00 - 17:00
Ort: Seminarraum 3A, NIG
Workshopsprache: Deutsch
Bitte mitbringen: 1-2 Seiten eigener Textentwurf (auf Deutsch oder Englisch)
Peer-Feedback ist eine der produktivsten Methoden im Schreibprozess. Es hilft uns, Texte schnell und gezielt zu überarbeiten, damit sie präziser, verständlicher, kohärenter und strukturierter werden. Darüber hinaus wirkt es sich positiv auf unser Schreiben und die Analyse von Literatur aus. In diesem Workshop werden wir den Feedback- und Überarbeitungsprozess diskutieren und unterschiedliche Methoden für Peer-Feedback ausprobieren.
Schreibtrainer:
Markus Mersits, promovierter Philosoph und Coach für Philosophische Praxis, unterrichtet an Universitäten, Fachhochschulen und privaten Instituten Workshops und Seminare u.a. zu den Themen Schreiben, Lernen, wissenschaftliches Arbeiten, Berufscoaching.

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.

Raphael

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.
Dear all,
The PACE and KiC Projects cordially invite you to the next talk of the
Metaphilosophical Talk Series by

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).

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.
