July 2–13, 2018
University of Vienna
THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS
Call For Application: open
Extended Deadline:
February 18, 2018!
The topic of the two-week course is „
Thought Experiments “. The main lecturers are Elke Brendel (University of Bonn), James Robert Brown (University of Toronto) und John D. Norton (University of Pittsburgh).
As an international interdisciplinary
program, USS SWC brings graduate students in close contact with world-renowned
scholars. The program is directed primarily to graduate students and junior
researchers in fields
related to the annual topic, but the
organizers also encourage applications from gifted undergraduates and from
people in all stages of their career who wish to broaden their horizon through
cross-disciplinary studies of methodological and foundational issues in
science.
THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS: Are thought experiments epistemic miracles that enable us
to learn about the world merely by reflections from the comfort of our
armchairs? Or are they merely picturesque devices for clarifying and revealing
to us what we already knew? Or should we conceive of their role in some other
way? This summer school will examine thought experiments and their role in
science and philosophy. It will consider general problems of principle
concerning thought experiments as well as the place and function of exemplar
thought experiments largely drawn from physical sciences, but from philosophy
and mathematics, as well.
