Veranstaltungsankündigung (Konstanz), 22.05.2025 - 23.05.2025
Workshop: The Konstanz 2025 Workshop on Normative Generics
The Konstanz 2025 Workshop on Normative Generics:
Linguistic and Philosophical Perspectives of Normative Generics,
Scripts, and Stereotypes.
Normative generics are generic sentences like their descriptive
counterparts, but rather than merely describing a kind of
generalization, their meanings are said to have a distinctively more
normative flavor. How the meanings of normative and descriptive generics
differ, and the source of the normative flavor, is a matter of intense
debate, and further complicates the already challenging landscape of
existing accounts of generics.
The difference between descriptive and normative generics has been
observed in important work going back to the 1970s (cf. especially
Lawler or Burton-Roberts), with other significant work following some
decades later (Carlson, Greenberg, Cohen, a.o.). Work by Leslie brought
the topic to particular prominence in the last decade, especially in
philosophy.
This workshop addresses open questions in the analysis of normative
generics--pertaining to their semantics, their pragmatics, their
discourse functions, and the kinds of cognition that might underpin
their use. We are particularly interested in how various kinds of social
cognition provide explanatory tools for understanding aspects of their
use (e.g., in recent work by Berio & Musholt, Hesni, a.o.)
Date: Thursday and Friday, May 22-23, 2025
Location: University of Konstanz

Sonstige: Can Biology Help Us Defend Free Will? An Emerging Debate in
Philosophy
_Young Academy Distinguished Lecture: _Can Biology Help Us Defend Free
Will? An Emerging Debate in Philosophy, 10 June 2025, 17:00 (CEST)
_Venue:_ Austrian Academy of Sciences, Johannessaal, Dr. Ignaz Seipel
Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Austria, and online
_Organiser:_ Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna & Young
Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences)
_Description:_
Humans - members of the biological species _homo sapiens_ - are products
of evolution. Therefore, if we have free will, it is plausible to assume
that our free will is also a product of evolution. But do we actually
have free will? Is it - at least sometimes - up to us what we decide to
do? Strikingly, philosophers have long ignored biology when it comes to
answering these questions. Instead, they have quibbled about whether and
how free will might fit into a supposedly deterministic universe as
studied by (classical) physics. Only recently has the debate about free
will begun to open up to biological considerations - so far, however,
mostly with sceptical results. We are told that it is not we but our
brains that decide what we want and how we act, or that our genes
determine our decisions, or other biological factors beyond our control.
In this _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture_, Alfred R. Mele, Professor
of Philosophy at Florida State University, and Anne Sophie Meincke,
member of the Young Academy and philosopher at the University of Vienna,
will take an overdue fresh look at the relationship between free will
and biology: Can biology help us understand and perhaps even defend free
will? If so, how? If not, why not? To make progress here, it is
necessary to critically analyse the arguments put forward against free
will in the name of biology. Do these sceptical arguments really show
what they claim to show? If not, then there is room to explore what
constructive role biology could play in an attempt to defend free will
against scepticism. Perhaps the common conception of a biological
organism as some kind of deterministic machine is not accurate after
all? How should we understand organisms instead? What biological
function could free will serve? Taking evolution seriously also suggests
considering the possibility that free will may not be a privilege of
human organisms.
_First Lecture:_ Alfred R. Mele: "Free Will and Neurobiology"
_Second Lecture:_ Anne Sophie Meincke: "Free Will Is Real and Biology
Helps Us Understand Why"
The _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series_ brings cutting-edge
scientific topics to the public, presented by distinguished experts and
members of the Young Academy. The present two lectures kick off the
interdisciplinary conference "Free Will: New Perspectives from
Philosophy, Biology and Neuroscience" [6], organised by Anne Sophie
Meincke and taking place at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on 11 and
12 June 2025.

lectures) is to be found here [7].

childcare is available upon request.

Veranstaltungsankündigung (Wien), 11.06.2025 - 12.06.2025
Konferenz: Free Will: New Perspectives from Philosophy, Biology and
Neuroscience
_Interdisciplinary Conference_ "Free Will: New Perspectives from
Philosophy, Biology and Neurosciences", 11th - 12th June 2025
_Venue: _Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria, & online
_Organiser:_ Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna)
_Description:_
In everyday life, we naturally assume that it is up to us how we act,
and that we are therefore responsible for our actions. However, free
will in this strong, 'libertarian' sense - involving a choice between
alternatives - is increasingly being questioned by philosophers and
scientists. While traditional concerns were predicated on the
deterministic laws of classical physics, today sceptics also cite
biology and neuroscience. We are told that our genes or our brains, not
we, decide what we want and how we act.
This conference gathers leading experts in philosophy, biology and
neuroscience who argue the opposite. Cutting-edge research into the
biological and neural basis of human and animal agency challenges
deterministic assumptions, adding to doubts from quantum physics and
pointing to non-reductionist views of agency and action causation. At
the same time, recent advances in the philosophy of biology and
metaphysics offer new conceptual resources for understanding agency and
free will under indeterminism. The conference explores the resulting
prospects for a scientifically grounded, ontologically robust concept of
'libertarian' free will, breaking new ground in interdisciplinary
research on free will.
_Invited Speakers:_
Björn Brembs (University of Regensburg), John Dupré (University of
Exeter), Geert Keil (Humboldt University of Berlin), Christian List (LMU
Munich), Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna), Alfred R. Mele
(Florida State University), Kevin Mitchell (with Henry Potter; both
Trinity College Dublin), Stephen Mumford (Durham University), Helen
Steward (University of Leeds), Peter U. Tse (Dartmouth College).
_Concluding Reflections:_
Johannes Jaeger (University of Vienna), Josef Quitterer (University of
Innsbruck)

This conference is associated with the Elise Richter-research project
"Bio-Agency and Natural Freedom", led by Dr. Anne Sophie Meincke and
funded by the Austrian Science Fund (grant DOI 10.55776/V714). It will
be preceded by a _Young Academy Distinguished Lecture_ by Alfred R. Mele
(Florida State University) and Anne Sophie Meincke (University of Vienna
& Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences) on the question
"Can Biology Help Us Defend Free Will?" [10] on 10th June 2025 at the
Austrian Academy of Sciences.
