Willkommen am Forschungsbereich Wissenschaftsphilosophie!

Dieser Forschungsbereich beschäftigt sich mit allgemeiner Wissenschaftsphilosophie und ihrer Geschichte, Philosophie der Einzelwissenschaften (Natur-, Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften), Erkenntnistheorie, Technikphilosophie sowie ethischen und politischen Aspekten von Wissenschaft und Technik/Technologie.

Forschung in diesem Bereich bezieht oft benachbarte Felder ein wie Wissenschafts- und Technikgeschichte und -soziologie, Kognitionswissenschaft, Logik, Feministische Philosophie, Social and Political Theory sowie Grundlagen von Innovationsforschung und Wissensmanagement.

All diese Themen werden in den nächsten Jahren in Form von Projekten, Veranstaltungen und Publikationen von den Mitgliedern dieses Forschungsbereichs, auch in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Forschungsbereichen, interdisziplinär und fakultätsübergreifend bearbeitet.

Kurzfristiges

2. Arthur Pap Vorlesung 2019 / 2nd Arthur Pap-Lecture 2019

"Viennese Lessons: Wittgenstein, Schlick, and Carnap"

Scott Soames (USC Dornsife, USA)

Zusammen mit Vienna Circle Society/Togehter with Vienna Circle Society

Zusammen mit FONTY / Together with FONTY

Date: November 26, 2019, 17:00 pm

Venue: NIG, HS 3B Neues Institutsgebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 3B

The logical empiricism of the Vienna Circle was the second great step in the development of analytic philosophy, following the turn to logic and mathematics imitated by Frege and Russell, and the practice of analysis illustrated by Moore. Although Wittgenstein was not a member of the Circle, he greatly influenced those who were. The lecture will articulate three important contemporary lessons to be gained by identifying, reconstructing, and developing under-appreciated insights of Wittgenstein, Carnap, and Schlick concerning the nature of propositions, modality, and ethics.
