The 1950s and 1960s saw the birth of the new discipline “Informatik” in the German- speaking scientific landscape. It emerged as a direct challenge to and in contrast to “Computer Science”, which was evolving simultaneously in the American scientific system. The historical roots of this new scientific discipline can be found in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Logic, and to a lesser extent also in other disciplines such as Philosophy, Brain Research and Psychology. As is often the case in the early stages of a new discipline, there was a clash of values, which resulted in disputes between representatives of different scientific milieus. These controversies have since been largely forgotten in the sciences as well as in the collective memory of our society due to the great success that “Informatik” (and Computer Science) enjoyed as a new “leading science” in the 20th century. The main objective of the conference is to facilitate critical reflection on these pasts in all their com...

The Centre for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination (CEPDISC) invites applications for a postgraduate summer school on the philosophy of disability to be held at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, on 25–27 August 2025. Course Description How should we understand disability, and what responsibilities do just societies have toward their disabled members? How should we conceptualize discrimination based on disability and what are the distinctive challenges facing disabled people in this regard? What lessons can we learn from debates on disability for theories of justice, bioethics and egalitarianism? This PhD course explores these questions through the lens of contemporary literature in philosophy of disability and disability studies, intersecting with ongoing debates in political philosophy, social theory, moral philosophy, bioethics and the law. On the first day of the course, we will examine the most influential disability models and definitions. The second day ...

The Research Training Group  GRK 2696 “Transformations of science and technology since 1800: topics, processes, institutions” , in cooperation with the  Interdisciplinary Summer School Series in Higher Education Research and Science Studies  ( https://www.herss-summer.eu ) invites applications for the Summer School "Narratives of Disruption and Continuity in Science and Technology ", taking place 1-5 Sept. 2025 in Wuppertal (Germany) at the Flemings Express Hotel .

This includes change that had already occurred, that could or should occur but also change ...
