VDP Coordinator Consultation Hours Starting this semester, I will be offering consultation hours every Tuesday (working days only) from 10:00 to 11:00 during the winter semester 2025 (WiSe25). You are warmly welcome to visit my office (B-0301, NIG) to discuss any matters related to your doctoral studies — including supervision, event organization, training opportunities, or funding options. You may inform me in advance if you wish to present your case beforehand, but no prior scheduling is required for these consultation hours. For meetings outside the consultation time, please write to VDS Philosophy at vd.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at with the subject line “Request for meeting”, and include the purpose of the meeting as well as your full availability. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Supervision and co-supervision It is advisable that meetings with supervisors take place once per month, and they should occur at least once per semester. If this is not the case, please feel free to contact the VDP office for advice regarding your supervision. All such matters are handled with strict confidentiality. Please also keep in mind that co-supervision and thesis advisory committees are practices encouraged by the University of Vienna to enhance the quality of PhD supervision.

Tagung "Deleuze 100. Ein deleuzianisches Jahrhundert?" - 14./15. November, Wien

by Ralf Gisinger

DELEUZE 100. EIN DELEUZIANISCHES JAHRHUNDERT? AKTUALITÄTEN, PERSPEKTIVEN, ZUKÜNFTE [1] Tagung an der Universität Wien 14./15. November 2025 2025 jährt sich der 100. Geburtstag sowie der 30. Todestag des französischen Philosophen Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). Zu diesem Anlass widmen wir uns in einer Tagung den mannigfaltigen gegenwärtigen Gebrauchsweisen von Deleuzes Werk und fragen insbesondere nach den produktiven sowie kritischen Perspektiven, welche die Philosophie von Deleuze (und Guattari) bereithält. Foucaults berühmte und von Deleuze selbst als Scherz verstandene Prophezeiung - "Aber eines Tages wird das Jahrhundert vielleicht deleuzianisch sein" (Foucault, _Schriften in vier Bänden II_, 94) - dient dabei als Anlasss einer Bestandsaufnahme wie spekulativer Durchgangspunkt: 100 Jahre zurück, 100 Jahre voraus. Auch im Hinblick auf die im Juli 2027 in Wien stattfindende internationale _Deleuze and Guattari Studies Conference_ laden wir junge sowie etablierte Forscher:innen im November zu _Deleuze 100_ nach Wien ein, um die Potentiale eines von Deleuze inspirierten Denkens auszuloten. Organisation: Eva-Maria Aigner, Ralf Gisinger, Christoph Hubatschke, Evi Jägle, Jonas Oßwald Programm [2]: Freitag, 14. November, Depot Wien. 18:30: Film | Performance | Roundtable Depot - Kunst und Diskussion, Breite Gasse 3 Film: Auszüge aus „L'Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze" (1989), Deleuze von A bis Z, Interviews mit Claire Parnet Performance: Ardan Hussein, Evi Jägle und Jan Barner: „Die Ausdrucksmaschine.

Aim In the last decades, several initiatives have dealt with developing ontologies for health, as witnessed by many of the resources provided by the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry. Recently, attention has also been given to modeling sustainability issues, which resulted in ontologies like Sustainability Core Ontology (SCO) [3], Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology (SDGIO) [4], Sustainable Met Systems Ontology (SuMSO) [5], and Sustainable Development and Climate (SDC) Ontology [6]. It is imperative to enhance interconnectedness among these ontologies and related applications. In particular, it will be important to communicate across different ontology communities to adequately capture the intrinsic connections between health and sustainability. This workshop aims at promoting discussions in this direction, focusing on waste, especially food and plastic waste, as a starting use case. The choice of this use case is motivated by the intrinsic relevance that this theme holds both in terms of human health and food systems sustainability. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Ontologies, logics, and semantics for sustainability and health. * Conceptualizations and models of food and plastic waste. * Ontologies of plastic pollution, including micro- and nanoplastics * Ontology applications to reduce and upscale waste in food systems. * Initiatives to synergize sustainability and health ontologies and applications across ontology communities. Important Dates * Paper submission deadline: 20 October * Abstract submission deadline: 20 October * Notification of acceptance: 30 October * Camera-ready papers: TBD according to ICBO2025 schedule. * Workshop Date: November 14, 2025 Location: Fully remote. Time and Duration: 4-7 pm CET. Submission Guidelines The workshop accepts both papers and abstracts for presentation addressing at least one of the aforementioned topics of interest. For each paper or abstract presentation accepted, at least one author must register. We welcome the following submission categories: * Full-length papers: 7-10 pages (Including references). * Short papers: up to 6 pages (Including references). * Abstract: up to 2 pages (excluding references) Please follow the guidelines for ICBO2025 main track submissions [7] to format both papers and abstracts.

Juni 2026 Unaufrichtigkeit ist ein kommunes Phänomen, das in einer Reihe von Spielarten vorkommt. Doch obwohl die Unaufrichtigkeit menschenalt sein dürfte und menschenweit etwas so Gewöhnliches ist, sind die Definitionen ihrer Spielarten nach wie vor umstritten. Ebenso verhält es sich mit ihrer moralischen Beurteilung und den Antworten auf die Frage nach ihrer politischen Bedeutung. Die Erfurter Tagung der _Deutsch-Polnischen Gesellschaft für Philosophie_ zum Thema ‚Lug, Trug und Fake News: Über Formen der Unaufrichtigkeit' soll Fragen der Moralphilosophie, der politischen Philosophie und Sprachphilosophie sowie der Philosophiegeschichte gewidmet sein. Es geht um sprachliche Formen der Unaufrichtigkeit: Lügen, Irreführen, Bullshitting, Gaslighting und irrationale Gegenerzählungen (_big lies_). Wie finden wir die richtigen Definientia und Unterscheidungen für Formen der Unaufrichtigkeit? Können Lügen wahr sein? Können alle Kreter immer lügen? Sind _bald-faced lies_ Lügen? Wie funktionieren sprachliche Irreführungen? Ist Bullshitting gegenüber Fakten notwendig indifferent? Ist die kantische Auffassung der Lüge haltbar? Ist Hegels Kritik an ihr gerechtfertigt? Wie soll Unaufrichtigkeit moralisch beurteilt werden? Gibt es eine Pflicht zu lügen? Wann ist Unaufrichtigkeit politisch gerechtfertigt? Wie bedrohen irrationale Gegenerzählungen (_big lies_) die offene, demokratische Gesellschaft? Wie sollen wir uns zu den gesellschaftlichen und politischen Auswirkungen massenhafter Propagandalügen stellen?

While debates on economic justice often occur within specific political camps, the Dortmund Disputes aim to foster discussion across political boundaries by bringing together scholars with diverse outlooks--liberal egalitarian, libertarian, socialist, conservative, or otherwise--who share the goal of advancing our understanding of economic justice. Following the successful first installment in 2025 [6], which featured Miranda Fleischer and Nicholas Vrousalis, the second installment will take place on June 25-26, 2026. The keynote speakers are Chiara Cordelli and Bas van der Vossen. Chiara Cordelli, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, works on social and political philosophy, especially political economy and democratic theory. She is the author of _The Privatized State_ (2020), a Kantian critique of privatization that develops a democratic theory of public administration. Bas van der Vossen, Professor in the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy and the Philosophy Department at Chapman University, works on political philosophy, with a focus on political economy, global justice, and property rights. His books include _In Defense of Openness_ (2018) and _Debating Humanitarian Intervention_ (2017). We invite scholars to apply with an abstract of around 500 words for a 40-minute talk. Abstracts will be selected based on their quality, fit with the spirit of the conference, and alignment with the research interests of the keynote speakers. They should be sent as PDF attachments to Karina Janke [karina.jahnke(a)tu-dortmund.de], prepared for blind review. The deadline for submission is February 1, 2026.
