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.

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, Nicola Mößner, Carina Prunkl, and Otto Sahlgren.

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).

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.

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.

It brings together philosophers working in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and argumentation theory, as well as psychologists and cognitive scientists to explore how trust 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.
