PhD-scholarships in Neurophilosophy
The Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) at LMU Munich
invites applications for several PhD scholarships in Neurophilosophy.
The GSN is the teaching entity for the Munich Center of Neurosciences -
Brain & Mind (MCN). Through creating an interdisciplinary network of
research the GSN provides a stimulating environment for students and
faculty to produce novel formulations of current concepts and theories.
Successful applicants will be affiliated with the Research Center for
Neurophilosophy and Ethics of Neurosciences
(https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…)
at the GSN.
Projects in the research center fall in the following areas:
* philosophy of cognitive neuroscience (explanation, reduction)
* philosophy and cognitive science of agency (mental causation, free
will, moral psychology, abilities)
* philosophy and cognitive science of reasoning (e.g. deductive and
non-deductive reasoning, logic and neural networks, decision making)
* ethics of neuroscience (research ethics, enhancement)
* philosophy of perception
* social and animal cognition
In the new application round we encourage applications in smaller focus
areas in order to build research groups. In the 2025/26 round the focus
areas are:
* human agency (esp. mental causation, complex action, multi-tasking,
attention, reductive and non-reductive explanation of agency)
* animal cognition
However, single exceptional and independent projects in one of the other
areas are also encouraged.
Applicants should have advanced training in philosophy (typically a
Master's degree in philosophy) and a genuine interest in the
neurosciences. This includes the willingness to acquire substantial
knowledge of empirical work relevant to their philosophical project.
Cooperative projects with empirical scientists in the network of the MCN
are strongly encouraged.
The application period will open on December 1st 2025 and will close on
February 16th 2026, (12:00 noon CET).
Please check our website
(https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…)
and the GSN webside
(https://www.gsn.uni-muenchen.de/apply/how_to_apply_active/index.html)
for details concerning the application procedure. The application
includes an outline of your proposed research project, a CV, an official
transcript of your academic work (list of attended courses; grades),
diplomas and two separate academic reference letters. Please also name
two potential supervisors (possibly including one non-philosopher) from
the core or affiliated neurophilosophy faculty of the GSN.

Call for Papers (Karlsruhe, Deadline: 31.01.2026)
Kolloquium: Workshop: Autonomy & Algorithms
Call for Papers (Karlsruhe, Deadline: 31.01.2026)
Workshop: Autonomy & Algorithms
As algorithms shape the choices we make, traditional assumptions about
autonomy and deliberation come under pressure. By curating what is
visible, relevant, or recommended, algorithmic outputs play a formative
role in human deliberation and action. These developments raise
well-known yet unresolved philosophical questions: What does it mean to
act and think autonomously in contexts mediated by algorithms? How do
algorithmic environments affect inquiry or deliberation? What are the
implications for democratic autonomy? Furthermore, how are we to assess
all this normatively?
This workshop aims to examine these issues within the frameworks of
philosophy of autonomy, ethics of AI, social epistemology, and political
philosophy. We welcome contributions that address conceptual
foundations, engage in normative evaluation, analyze epistemic dynamics
in algorithmic environments, and reflect on their institutional or
societal implications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Conceptual analysis of autonomy under algorithmic influence
* Epistemic autonomy and algorithmic recommendation systems
* Responsibility gaps and distributed agency
* Algorithmic nudging, manipulation, and consent
* Autonomy in surveillance and data-intensive environments
We welcome submissions from analytic philosophy broadly construed
(ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of mind, philosophy of
technology, epistemology, AI ethics), as well as adjacent disciplines
with strong philosophical engagement.We invite submissions from
researchers at all career levels, especially from early-career scholars
and doctoral candidates. Funding is available to cover travel and
accommodation costs for those whose abstract is accepted.
Submission details
Please submit an extended abstract (800-1000 words) as a PDF suitable
for anonymous review to alina.jacobs(a)kit.edu by 31.01.2026. Notification
of acceptance will be sent by 16.02.2026.
Practical Information
The workshop will take place from 11.06.2026 to 12.06.2026 at the
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and is organized within the DFG
project "The Ethics of State Mass Surveillance". Invited speakers who
have confirmed their participation include Simona Chiodo, Keith Harris,

Workshop: Forms of Exculpation: Nature and Norms of Blamelessness
Call for Abstracts (Workshop)
Forms of Exculpation: Nature and Norms of Blamelessness
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, March 12 and 13, 2026
Deadline: January 31, 2026
Confirmed Speakers: Daniele Bruno (HU Berlin), Simon-Pierre
Chevarie-Cossette (Neuchâtel), Luis Duarte D'Almeida (Lisbon/Edinburgh),
Elinor Mason (UCSB), Leonhard Menges (Salzburg)
Organiser: Daniele Bruno (daniele.bruno(a)hu-berlin.de)
This workshop is aimed at discussing questions regarding the
relationship between prescriptive and hypological notions in the
normative, with a specific focus on conceptual issues regarding excuses
and exemptions. It is a familiar fact of life that agents can be
exculpated through a variety of factors, ranging from ignorance, over
duress, to permanent impairment of their rational facilities. Sometimes,
these various factors are taken to directly affect what an agent ought
to do, at other times, they are taken to constitute excuses for
(nonetheless wrong) actions. Contributions to this workshop will deal
with the question of how to best theoretically capture the various forms
of exculpation, combining perspectives from ethics, epistemology and
legal philosophy.
We have reserved a small number of slots for early-career researchers
(including advanced PhD students) working on related issues. These will
be selected from anonymized submissions based on quality and fit for the
workshop theme. We have secured funds to reimburse travel fees of up to
300EUR but unfortunately cannot cover accommodation costs (though we are
happy to suggest affordable options within proximity to the workshop
venue).
Potential topics of submissions include, but are not limited to:
* The difference between excuse and justification
* Full and partial excuses
* Varieties of exculpating conditions
* Epistemic excuses
* Excuses in the law and morality
* Exemptions and the "objective attitude"
* The role of blame and blameworthiness in relational theories of
morality
Please submit an abstract (700-1000 words, prepared for blind review)
until 31 January 2026 as a pdf file to philoeth(a)hu-berlin.de, with the
subject line "Submission for Workshop: Forms of Exculpation". Papers
should be suitable for a presentation lasting 30-40 minutes. Authors of
accepted papers will be notified by 10 February 2026. Submissions by
underrepresented groups in philosophy are highly encouraged.
For any questions regarding the workshop, please contact Daniele Bruno
(daniele.bruno(a)hu-berlin.de).

Konferenz: The Epistemology of Medicine
Rationale:
This international conference brings together leading philosophers to
explore foundational questions in the epistemology of medicine. How do
we generate, evaluate, and integrate knowledge in medical science and
practice--especially in an era shaped by big data, advanced statistics,
and artificial intelligence? By examining the nature of evidence, causal
reasoning, and explanatory models in health and healthcare, the event
aims to clarify how different sources of knowledge can be combined to
guide effective medical decision-making and policy. Through
interdisciplinary dialogue, The Epistemology of Medicine seeks to
advance philosophical understanding while contributing to the broader
goals of improving patient care and promoting societal well-being.

Workshop: Book Symposium: Labor in the Boardroom (Iñigo González Ricoy)
Book Symposium "Labor in the Boardroom: The Political Theory of
Workplace Democracy"
with Iñigo González Ricoy (University of Barcelona)
Date: 29 January 2026, 10:15 am-3:45 pm
Location: Munich - ZEPP | Center for Ethics and Philosophy in Practice
(Room M210 in LMU Munich's Main Building)
Organised by Paulus Kaufmann and Hannes Kuch
More Information:
https://www.zepp.uni-muenchen.de/veranstaltungenlehre/aktuelle-veranstaltun…
Registration: https://eveeno.com/511755302
The workshop will discuss Iñigo González Ricoy's book manuscript "Labor
in the Boardroom: The Political Theory of Workplace Democracy".
Christian Neuhäuser (TU Dortmund), Philipp Stehr (TU Munich), and Eva
Weiler (University of Duisburg-Essen) will comment on González Ricoy's
manuscript, followed by responses from the author and an open debate
with the audience.
In recent years, labor-managed firms - whether through codetermination,
employee ownership, or worker cooperatives - have attracted growing
public and scholarly attention. Political theorists have offered
increasingly nuanced arguments for why such firms merit public support,
including limiting corporate power, encouraging civic participation,
reducing wage inequality, and countering managerial domination. Labor in
the Boardroom argues that many existing views are not fully persuasive,
while also reinforcing concerns that labor-managed firms may sacrifice
efficiency in pursuit of these and other values. This could lead to
economic outcomes that negatively affect not just investors but also
consumers, taxpayers, and workers. The book develops an alternative
normative account centered on efficiency as a key justification,
maintaining that we have reason to hold firms to an efficiency
requirement not only for economic reasons but also to protect workers
from domination by their employers. It contends that labor-managed firms
are uniquely positioned to reconcile efficiency with the value of
freedom from domination.

and cognitive bias shape reasoning and decision-making. The aim is to
foster dialogue across disciplines and deepen our understanding of human
reasoning and decision-making.
Registration is free of charge but places are limited. Please register
by 1 February 2026, via the form on the website.
