Academic activities in u:cris

by Lisa Tragbar

Dear VDP colleagues, During the Doctoral Assembly in the winter semester, the question arose as to how outreach and other academic activities can be made visible (apart from ECTS recognition). As discussed in the Doctoral Student Assembly during the summer semester, you could use u:cris, the official research platform from the University of Vienna, for this purpose. This comes with several advantages: * You can showcase your research and outreach activities on the official research platform of the University. This option is available to all PhD students, not just those employed at the University of Vienna. * The Doctoral School gains a better overview of publications and activities. What to do (if you want to use this service): 1. Log in with your u:account credentials at: https://ucrisportal.univie.ac.at/en/ (scroll to the bottom of the page to sign in). 2. Add any information you'd like to display (e.g. publications, talks, outreach). 3. You also have the option to link your u:cris profile to the VDP website under your name: https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/members/phd-researchers/ Send an email to vd.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at<mailto:vd.philosophy@univie.ac.at> to request that your u:cris profile be linked to your profile on the VDP website. If you have any technical questions, please contact the u:cris team directly. Best, Lisa -- Lisa Tragbar, BA BA MA Universitätsassistentin an der Professur für Ethik mit besonderer Berücksichtigung von angewandter Ethik Fakultät für Philosophie und Bildungswissenschaft der Universität Wien Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG, Zi.

CFA: Graduate Workshop "Explaining Explaining" (University of Vienna)

by VD Philosophy

Graduate Workshop "Explaining Explaining" 2025 University of Vienna, Austria September 1-3, 2025 We are pleased to announce the Graduate Workshop on "Explaining Explaining" to be held in Vienna from September 1-3, 2025. The workshop is organized under the auspices of, and funded by, the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (VDP). THEME Explanations recur as a constant and central theme in philosophy: philosophers contend that in mathematics, proofs are favoured for their explanatory values; in the sciences, theories are selected according to explanatory virtues they exhibit; in metaphysics, explanatory relations direct our accounts of concepts and ontological priority; in philosophy more broadly, we offer and compare explanations for facets of reality in order to resolve conceptual problems. CONFIRMED SPEAKERS Prof. Dr. Francesca Poggiolesi (CNRS, Paris) Prof. Dr. Chiara Lisciandra (Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf) Prof. Dr. Benjamin Schnieder (University of Vienna, Vienna) Fourth speaker to be confirmed SUBMISSIONS We invite graduate students (Master and PhD) to present their original work on topics related to the philosophy of explanation at the workshop. That includes approaches from different areas, including but not limited to logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science and so on. The time allocated for each presentation is 30 minutes, including discussion. Students from underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply to promote diversity and equity in academia. Abstracts (up to 500 words, references not included) should be sent in PDF file format to workshop.explaining(a)gmail.com. Please make sure to include your name, affiliation and the title of your paper. In case you need financial support, please write a brief statement of financial aid. We can partly fund travel/accommodation expenses. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for Applications: June 1, 2025 Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2025 Workshop: September 1-3, 2025 All information is also available at https://philevents.org/event/show/134954. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via workshop.explaining(a)gmail.com. We look forward to your submissions!

TODAY: IVC Talk: Jennifer Whyte (IVC Fellow) on "Towards a Waismannian theory of Conceptual Engineering", April 10, 4.45pm

by Zarah Weiss

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Jennifer Whyte (IVC Fellow), who will give a talk on April 10, 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Jennifer Whyte (IVC Fellow) TOWARDS A WAISMANNIAN THEORY OF CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING Philosophy of Science Colloquium The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows. Date: 10/04/2025 Time: 16h45 Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3A Abstract: Much philosophical attention has recently been paid to Conceptual Engineering - or, the intentional modification of concepts by philosophers in order to achieve epistemic, ethical, or political ends. The most controversial aspect of conceptual engineering are its aims, but there is also much debate over the mechanism by which the process could even be carried out. In this project, I will propose a mechanism derived from the work of Friedrich Waismann by which intentional conceptual amelioration can - and does - occur. I will then argue that this account of conceptual engineering solves a number of standing problems in the literature, but in doing so, places some key checks on the ambition of conceptual engineering as a project.

Even opponents of the doctrine often concende that, in retrospect, utilitarians were often right to oppose discriminatory laws and customs. The idea of progress has also been used by utilitarians as an argumentative resource against competing normative theories. This workshop aims to combine systematic and historical perspectives and to explore questions such as: - How have utilitarians thought about the idea of moral improvement? - How and why do they differ? - How might their views have changed over time? - What role does this idea play in their philosophical outlook? Speakers: - Eleonora Buono (Lausanne/Switzerland) - Giulia Cantamessi (Pavia/Italy) - Roger Crisp (Oxford/United Kingdom) - Julia Driver (Austin/USA) - Annette Dufner (Bielefeld/Germany) - Frauke Höntzsch (Augsburg/Germany) - Helen McCabe (Nottingham/United Kingdom) - Michael Schefczyk (Karlsruhe/Germany) - Cyriak Schmitz (Karlsruhe/Germany) - Christian Seidel (Karlsruhe/Germany) This event will be a modified pre-read workshop: We will distribute extended handouts (rather than full papers) to participants about a week in advance. Registration by email (office.seidel(a)itz.kit.edu) by 14 May 2025 is required. Please also let us know if you plan to attend the conference dinner (on 23 May 2025).

Not only in comparatively young democracies but also in time-honored ones such as the US, the foundations of liberal, constitutional democracy are crumbling. As early as the 19th century, Tocqueville presented a groundbreaking theory of democracy, examining both its bright and dark sides as a form of society and government in America and Europe. While current political theory - especially radical democratic theory - focuses on criticism of liberal democracy and its swan song, we aim to revive Tocqueville's theory of democracy and use it in four systematic panels to ask whether liberal democracy can be saved rather than abandoned. Our goal is to build a bridge between an analysis of the current phenomena of the democratic crisis and the reconstruction of the central elements of Tocqueville's theory. To attend the international conference please send an email to ricarda.wuensch(a)ur.de before the 15th of May 2025.

It will begin on the evening of June 11 with a keynote talk by Jonathan Dancy. All other talks will be held on June 12th and 13th. Summary: The aim of this conference is to explore the interrelations between different normative properties and different hypotheses about what ultimately unifies them, with a particular focus on whether these properties can be understood in terms of reasons. The talks and discussions will examine the connections between reasons, value, obligation, justification, ought, fittingness, and other key normative notions central to different philosophical subfields, including ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of emotions. These discussions will have implications for the reasons first program and aspire to improve our understanding of the nature of the normative. The conference is organized by Benjamin Kiesewetter and Shane Ward (Department of Philosophy, Bielefeld University) as part of the ERC-funded project _REASONS F1RST - The Structure of Normativity_.

The event will bring together researchers working on the intersection of philosophy, logic, formal semantics, and related areas. Our program will feature four keynote lectures: - Anna Brożek (University of Warsaw) - Georg Brun (University of Bern) - Sven Ove Hansson (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) - Catarina Dutilh Novaes (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) There will also be eight talks by contributed speakers: - Carolin Antos (University of Konstanz) - Ludovica Conti (University of Vienna) - Michael Hladky (University of Geneva) - Patricia Marino (University of Waterloo) - Perceval Pillon (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) - Lassi Saario (University of Helsinki) - Nevo Spiegel (Tel Aviv University) - Bobby Vos (University of Toronto) Besides these talks, there will also be a poster session where graduate students of LMU are given the opportunity to present their relevant work. We warmly invite all scholars working in relevant fields to attend, as well as anyone interested in formal philosophy. Since space is limited, we recommend that you register early using this registration form: https://forms.gle/fwmY2Bhmnad3Wt2Y6 We look forward to welcoming you in Munich!

APSE talk by Remco Heesen + reading group

by S.L.B. Crüwell

Dear all, we are delighted to invite you to the next instalment of the APSE talks series, as well as to the accompanying reading circle prior to the talk. The talk will be given by Remco Heesen (LSE). When: Thursday, 10.04.2025, 15:00 - 17:00 Where: HS 3A, NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien) The Division of Cognitive Labour under Poisson Productivity When a community of academics faces a research problem and multiple methodological approaches to solving it, how much effort should they devote to each approach to maximise their chances of solving the problem and minimise the time to a solution? This problem is known as the division of cognitive labour (DCL). More specifically, Philip Kitcher, Michael Strevens, and Kevin Zollman have asked whether and to what extent academics’ expectations of credit for solving the problem can act as an invisible hand to produce an efficient DCL without a need for top-down planning. Here I revisit this question using a modelling framework (key ingredient: academic productivity follows a Poisson distribution) that has more empirical support than Kitcher’s, Strevens’, and Zollman’s, and is also more flexible in that it can be used to address broader questions about credit incentives. The somewhat surprising finding is that in this framework the DCL problem becomes essentially trivial. I’d like to discuss implications for how we think about the model and/or the DCL problem. Reading Circle: When: right before the talk - Thursday, 10.04.2025, 13:00 - 15:00 Where: same place - HS 3A, NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien) To get the reading material for the Reading Cycle, please contact vinzent.fischer(a)univie.ac.at<mailto:vinzent.fischer@univie.ac.at> Please share this invitation with anyone who might be interested! Best wishes, Sophia Crüwell (on behalf of the APSE unit)
