The conference will feature four keynote talks and eight contributed presentations mainly across three main topics: _1. The Feasibility and Challenges of Formalising Philosophy:_ This theme examines the adequacy of formal methods in capturing the nuances of philosophical ideas, identifying common challenges such as potential oversimplification and loss of depth, and exploring the relationships between terms and concepts within formal systems. _2. Pros and Cons of Using Formalisations in Philosophy:_ This topic addresses the ongoing discussion regarding the value of formal methods in philosophy, highlighting their benefits, including enhanced precision and clarity, alongside the limitations imposed by formal systems, such as the risk of diminishing the richness of philosophical discourse. _3. Conceptual Pluralism and Choosing the Right Formalisation:_ This theme recognises the diversity of formal methods and evaluates the criteria for selecting the most appropriate approaches for philosophical inquiry, considering the intended applications and goals of formalisation. We welcome contributions that provide original insights into these and related topics.

Place: Dortmund, Germany Keynotes: Miranda Fleischer (San Diego), Nicholas Vrousalis (Rotterdam) Organizers: Peter Königs, Christian Neuhäuser, Lea Prix, Dick Timmer (TU Dortmund University) Most fundamental questions of economic justice remain unresolved. There is little agreement on the place of markets, the nature of property, the justifiability of taxes, the importance of workplace democracy, the injustice of economic inequality, and, generally, the merits of capitalism and socialism. While debates on economic justice often take place within specific political camps, where many assumptions are shared, the Dortmund Disputes take a different approach. The idea of the Dortmund Disputes is to foster debate across political boundaries. It seeks to bring together open-minded scholars with diverse political outlooks--whether liberal egalitarian, libertarian, socialist, conservative, or otherwise--who are committed to our shared goal of advancing our understanding of economic justice. The keynote speakers for the first installment of the Dortmund Disputes are Miranda Fleischer and Nicholas Vrousalis. Miranda Fleischer is Richard and Kaye Woltman Professor in Finance at University of San Diego's School of Law. Her work focuses on ethical and legal issues surrounding taxation, wealth and wealth transfer, and charitable giving. She's the co-author of a recent book on Universal Basic Income. Nicholas Vrousalis is Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam [2]. His work revolves around distributive ethics, democratic theory, and the history of political philosophy, with emphasis on Kant, Hegel, and Marx. He is the author of a recent book on capitalism and exploitation. We invite scholars to apply with an abstract of around 500 words. Abstracts will be selected based on their quality, fit with the spirit of the conference, and broad alignment with the research interests of the keynote speakers. They should be sent as PDF attachments to Swaantje Siebke [swaantje.siebke(a)tu-dortmund.de], prepared for blind review. The deadline for submission is January 10, 2025. Limited funding is available to cover travel and accommodation expenses for speakers who cannot otherwise finance these costs. ****************************************** (5) CALL FOR PAPERS (Jena, Deadline: 14.02.2025) SSHAP 2025 _July 23-26, University of Jena._ The thirteenth annual conference of the Society for the Study of the History of Analytical Philosophy (SSHAP) will be held at the University of Jena, July 23-26, 2025.

Submissions to the SSHAP annual conference in all areas of the history of analytic philosophy are welcome. _Conference Homepage: https://sshap2025.uni-jena.de/_ ****************************************** (6) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Innsbruck, 30-31.10.2024) Book Symposium on Thomas Grundmann's forthcoming book "Expert Authority and the Limits of Critical Thinking" (OUP) Department of Christian Philosophy University of Innsbruck Dekanatssitzungssaal Karl-Rahner-Platz 1 _Abstract of the book_: Public confidence in scientific experts is high, particularly in times of crisis. But experts are not beyond doubt. In his forthcoming book, Thomas Grundmann argues that a different attitude towards experts is needed. Laypeople should stop thinking for themselves and typically defer to experts. In short, laypeople should treat experts as epistemic authorities. Grundmann presents a novel argument for this bold view and engages with its main challenges. For example, doesn't the view make experts too powerful and completely immune to criticism? The book replies to these and many more concerns about the authority of experts. On its way issues such as the history of epistemic authority, expert identification, the role of expert authority in resisting conspiracy theories, epistemic autonomy, and the role of experts in politics are addressed. _Speakers_ Sofia Bokros [3], _Uppsala University_ Katherine Dormandy [4], _University of Innsbruck_ Thomas Grundmann [5], _University of Cologne_ Rico Hauswald [6], _Technische Universität Dresden_ Christoph Jäger [7], _University of Innsbruck_ Hatice Kaya [8], _University of Cologne_ Federica Isabella Malfatti [9], _University of Innsbruck_ Pedro Schmechtig [10], _Technische Universität Dresden_ Johanna Stüger [11], _Cambridge University_ _Sponsors_ DK Philosophy of Religion [12] TWF - Tiroler Wissenschaftsförderung [13] Erika Cremer Habilitationsprogramm [14] _To register, contact:_ federica.malfatti(a)uibk.ac.at ****************************************** (7) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Frankfurt, 04-06.11.2024) Christine M. Korsgaard: Value and Freedom in Kant's Moral Philosophy Christine M. Korsgaard, die an der Harvard University lehrt, ist eine der wichtigsten Philosophinnen unserer Zeit. Ihr Werk widmet sich unter anderem einer Rechtfertigung menschlicher Würde, einer Grundlegung unseres richtigen Handelns und der Begründung des moralischen Status von Tieren. In den Dagmar-Westberg-Vorlesungen geht sie in drei Vorträgen zentralen Fragen der Praktischen Philosophie Kants nach, die sie auf innovative Weise deutet. Der erste Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit dem unvergleichlichen Wert des Individuums und ergründet, was es eigentlich heißt, „Zweck an sich selbst" zu sein. Der zweite Vortrag ist dem Zusammenhang von richtigem und gutem Handeln gewidmet und weist als wesentliches Kennzeichen deren Autonomie aus. Im dritten Vortrag wird schließlich Moralität als Bedingung unserer Freiheit thematisch. _4. November_ The Incomparable Value of the Individual _5.
