"Semantic Naturalism" with Mindaugas Gilaitis

Mindaugas Gilaitis (Vilnius University) will deliver four lectures on semantic naturalism from 15.-18. October. His visit is funded by the Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility programme.

Mindaugas Gilaitis, PhD, is an assistant professor of philosophy at Vilnius University. His main research interests are in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and action, epistemology and philosophical methodology. He has published on semantic naturalism and linguistic meaning, and is currently working on the project on semantic normativity.

Abstract of the lectures
Semantic naturalism – the philosophical doctrine that semantic concepts are concepts of the phenomena described by natural sciences – is the predominant idea in contemporary philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and philosophy of action. The lectures are dedicated to a conceptual investigation of some of its problems and presuppositions: the methodological background, the representational theory of mind, the idea of normativity of meaning and its consequences for semantic naturalism, and the question whether reason explanations are a type of causal explanations.

The schedule
1. 15.10 Tuesday 14.15-15.45 / room 114: Methodological Prolegomena
2. 16.10 Wednesday 12.15-13.45 / room 327: Meaning and Representation
3. 17.10 Thursday 18.15-19.45 / room 337: Meaning and Normativity
4. 18.10 Friday 12.15-13.45 / room 327: Reasons and Causes

It is possible to receive 1 ECTS for attending the lectures and writing a small essay. For this, register either for FLFI.00.110 Philosophy Conference I or FLFI.00.112 Philosophy Conference II.

From ϕ -science to practical realism: an international conference in honour of Rein Vihalemm (1938-2015)

Book of Abstracts

The philosophy of science unit at the University of Tartu, founded in 1992, owes much to Professor Rein Vihalemm (1938–2015). He established research in this disciplinary area and supervised many students who now work in the field. Internationally Vihalemm is known as a founder, and was known as an active member, of the International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry (ISPC). He edited the volume Estonian Studies in Philosophy of Science in the renowned series Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science (2001). Vihalemm participated in fifteen Congresses of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and many other conferences. From the 1990s onwards, he published numerous research articles in journals, handbooks and collections of papers by leading publishers such as Oxford University Press, Springer and others.

One of Vihalemm’s major theoretical achievements was the development of the concept of ϕ-science – the theoretical account of the physical sciences that enabled him to explain the differences between various research disciplines and characterise the nature of chemistry as partially a ϕ-science. The concept of ϕ-science captures constructive activities that scientists are engaged in. Vihalemm’s main contribution to the philosophy of science is the programme of practical realism that analyses these activities.

On the 9th of December 2018 Rein Vihalemm would have had his 80th birthday. To celebrate, we invite philosophers of science to a conference on Vihalemm's work in Tartu summer, Aug 13-14, 2019.

Themes of the conference include (and are not limited to):

  1. Realism and anti-realism about science: various kinds of realism and anti-realism, arguments, perspectives, functions.
  2. The concept of ϕ-science and actual practices of the physical sciences
  3. Dual nature of chemistry – chemistry as a physical science and chemistry as natural history.
  4. Pluralism in the accounts of science and technology.
  5. Practice-based accounts of science in the light of ideas from history of philosophy
  6. History and philosophy of science: cooperating or competing disciplines?
  7. Methods for the empirical study of scientific practices, relevance of empirical findings for philosophy of science.

Workshop "Issues in Bioethics and Philosophy of Medicine"

Nordic-Baltic Network of Philosophy of Medicine
Annual Workshop
Issues in Bioethics and Philosophy of Medicine

University of Tartu (Estonia), June 11-12th, 2019

Schedule

The Nordic-Baltic Network of Philosophy of Medicine was created in 2008 to bring together researchers working in the Nordic-Baltic region on various areas related to this broad field of philosophy of medicine and health care. In each subsequent year, the network has held conferences and workshops in Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Denmark. We are proud to always have had a genuinely interdisciplinary event with medical doctors, philosophers and social scientists presenting side by side.

The motivations behind having a network for this specific geographic region are many. One reason is that philosophy of medicine and bioethics debates tend to be driven by North American interests and problems specific to North American healthcare systems. However, the Nordic-Baltic countries bring with them distinct issues that arise due to somewhat similar welfare states and the shared recent problems.

We invite all scholars working in this field to give presentations addressing topics of their own choice within the philosophy of medicine/medical ethics/bioethics. Post-graduate students who would like feedback in a friendly and informal atmosphere are most welcome. We will start on the morning of Tuesday June 11th and end in the afternoon of Wednesday June 12th, 2019.

The workshop is free of charge and we can offer help in locating affordable accomodation for postgraduate students.

International workshop "Self-Determination of Peoples in Historical Perspective"

Friday , 17 May 2019
Venue: Institute of Philosophy and Semiotics, Faculty of Humanities, Jakobi 2-336

Schedule

On May 17, 2019, the Department of Philosophy and the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies are holding a workshop on "Self-determination of peoples in historical perspective". The workshop will explore selected theoretical discussions and controversies about the idea and principle of self-determination of peoples in long-range perspective. While this would include the exploration of the ways in which theorists were seeking to contribute to their contemporary philosophical, political and territorial disputes, we are particularly interested in testing the possibility of linking different 20th-century interpretations of self-determination to early modern political languages and characteristic theoretical idioms, so as to highlight the continuities and ruptures in the long-term intellectual history of this concept.

This event has been supported by the Centre of Excellence in Estonian Studies (European Union, European Regional Development Fund) and is related to research projects IUT20-5 and IUT20-39 (Estonian Ministry of Education and Research).

Workshop with Adrian Currie "Science & the Deep Past"

Based on his book Rock, Bone and Ruin: An Optimist’s Guide to the Historical Sciences (MIT Press 2018)
Time: 18-21 March 2019
Venue: Jakobi 2-114 (Philosophicum – all seminars and public lectures) and Vanemuise 46 (University of Tartu Natural History Museum), Tartu, Estonia
Target group: students and young scholars of philosophy and natural sciences (incl archaeology)
Credit points and assessment (optional): 3 ECTS, non-differentiated
Maximum number of participants: 25
A limited number of travel bursaries is available for foreign participants.

To obtain credit points, the participant must write an essay of 4-6 pages on some topic of the workshop, to be submitted two weeks after the workshop ends.

More detailed information: The deep past is a surprising place. Enormous glaciers cover the globe, alien creatures roam, and unique cultural traditions thrive. Palaeontologists, geologists and archaeologists (as well as cosmologists, evolutionary biologists and others) attempt to uncover and understand the deep past: events occurring thousands, millions or even billions of years ago. Such a task is challenging: the remnants of the deep past are often scattered and incomplete and the idiosyncrasy and scale of such events stymies experimentation. On the face of it the gold standards of science, good, repeatable data generated through experimental intervention is denied to us. Yet, our knowledge of the deep past progresses at pace: becoming richer, more sophisticated. What explains the success of these sciences in the face of such challenges? Is there anything distinctive about historical sciences compared to other sciences? What do such sciences teach us about the nature of history? Are there lessons to be drawn about knowledge generally from our knowledge of the past?

The course consists of lectures and seminars, and includes practical work and visit to a local museum.

Participants must read through the book underlying the workshop before the beginning of the workshop.
