2nd Philosophical Symposium of the DFG on "Thought Experiments and Narration in Philosophy" (Villa Vigoni, 23.-27.03.2020)

哲学研讨会的目的是促进德语哲学的模范和示范哲学讨论，由于哲学研究的日益专业化，这些讨论在大学的日常业务中很少或没有出现。特别是，为了应对主题的碎片化，系列专题讨论会应确保不同学科和方法的代表能够相互进行富有成效的哲学对话。重要的是确定僵化的论点结构，必要时确定停滞不前的辩论，以便在共同交流中通过不同的哲学方法产生进一步讨论的协同作用。通过关注不同学派和思想流派共同的主题，有希望打开各自的视野，并激发富有成效的综合工作。第二届哲学研讨会的主题是“哲学中的思想实验与叙事”。讨论的中心是以下几个问题：叙述与哲学的关系是什么？个别例子和一般哲学理论之间的关系是什么？通过思想实验和叙述，能获得新的哲学见解吗？科幻小说能在多大程度上处理哲学论证？这些问题将从系统的和哲学的不同角度来讨论。此外，在专题讨论会期间，还应给予空间，让哲学对其工作和交流方式、其体制框架以及其在社会中的未来作用和对社会的作用进行明确的政治反思。

The aim of the Philosophical Symposia is to facilitate model and exemplary philosophical discussions in German-language philosophy, which are used in university day-to-day business due to the increasing specialization of philosophical researchrarely or not come about. In particular, in response to the fragmentation of the subject, the series of symposia should ensure that representatives of various disciplines and methods can engage in productive philosophical conversation with each other. It is important to identify rigidified argument structures and, if necessary, stagnant debates, in order to generate synergies for further discussion in a common exchange and via different philosophical approaches.With the focus on a theme shared by different schools and schools of thought, there is the hope to open the respective horizons and to stimulate a productive, synthetic work.The second Philosophical Symposium is dedicated to the theme "Thought Experiments and Narration in Philosophy". At the center of the discussion are u.a. the following questions: What is the relationship between narration and philosophy? What is the relationship between individual examples and general philosophical theories? Can one gain new philosophical insights with thought experiments and narration? How much science fiction can handle philosophical arguments? These questions are to be discussed from different perspectives, both systematic and philosophical.In addition, during the symposium, space should also be given for the explicit political reflection of philosophy on its modes of work and communication, on its institutional framework and on its future role in and for society.
