Rudolf Haller and Austrian Philosophy, Graz, 8-9. November 2019

Einladung zur Konferenz:

Rudolf Haller und die österreichische Philosophie

Rudolf Haller and Austrian Philosophy

Symposium anlässlich des 90. Geburtstages und 5. Todestages von Rudolf Haller

8.-9. November 2019

Hs. 11.01, Universität Graz, Heinrichstr. 36, Erdgeschoß

Program

Die Philosophie in Graz hat Rudolf Haller viel zu verdanken: er hat ihr die Anknüpfung an die aktuelle analytische Diskussion ermöglicht und zugleich ihre historische Verankerung bewahrt. Früchte seiner Tätigkeit sind unter anderem die Gründung der Fachzeitschrift GrazerPhilosophischen Studien, sowie der _Studien zur österreichischen Philosophie und des Instituts Forschungsstelle und Dokumentationszentrum für österreichische Philosophie. In seiner eigenen wissenschaftlichen Arbeit widmete er sich vor allem der Erforschung der österreichischen Philosophie von Bolzano bis in die Gegenwart, an die er auch systematisch anknüpfte. Seine vielfältigen Interessen finden ihren Niederschlag in fast 300 Publikationen zu Themen der Erkenntnistheorie, der philosophischen Psychologie, der Sprachphilosophie, Ontologie, Wissenschaftstheorie, Ästhetik und der Philosophie Wittgensteins und des Wiener Kreises.

Die Konferenzbeiträge widmen sich Rudolf Haller, seinen Leistungen bei der Erforschung der österreichischen Philosophie und seinen systematischen Positionen. Eine Veröffentlichung in den Grazer
Philosophischen Studien ist vorgesehen.

Creative Skills & Mediaphilosophy

In cooperation with Logo Wiener Zeitung

Creative Skills & Mediaphilosophy.
How can we face the anti-democratic tendencies in the digital media society?

OPEN SPACE SESSION
with Wolfgang Renner (Wiener Zeitung)*

In spring 2019 the London School of Economics has published a report that diagnosed an immediate and serious threat to quality journalism and, as a result, to the values of a functioning democracy.
Loss of confidence, power obsession and apathy are just three key words from the report. What new paths can be taken in the all-penetrating media society?
Can there be hope in ‘creative skills’ or the ‘media philosophy’? In this open space session, various implemented projects are shown, scenarios are described and will be discussed openly.

*Wolfgang Renner Dr. h.c., MSc., Acad. M&S (WU Vienna) is Head of Wiener Zeitung Academy. ‚Wiener Zeitung‘ is the oldest still existing newspaper of the world. Established in August 1703.

Time: Wednesday, August 7, 2019, 17:45
Location: Room B

Schedule and Abstracts of Symposium 2019 are now available
