17/06/2021 – Prof. Timm Lampert (Humboldt Universität, Berlin) - From Experimental Data to Causal Graphs

[Abstract] In science, we conduct experiments to infer causal relations. How do we draw such inferences? Can we specify an algorithm to fulfil the inferential task? Philosophers of science try to answer these questions. Yet, they widely failed in describing a clear-cut inferential method. They either end up with scepticism regarding the very notion of causality or with serious problems to specify an algorithm. The talk discusses modern regularity theories as one attempt to solve the problem of identifying causal relations from experimental data. These theories go back to Mackie’s logical analysis of causal relations in terms of INUS-conditions. This analysis is based on identifying redundancies by minimizing disjunctive normal forms (DNFs). It faces a serious problem that Mackie himself accepted as a refutation of his approach: the minimization of DNFs is either not sufficient or ambiguous and both cases produce unintended causal interpretations. I call this problem the “equivalence problem”. I will explain this problem and a new approach to solve it. In doing so, my aim is twofold: (i) to give you an understanding of a specific research project: solving the equivalence problem within a modern regularity theory of causation, and (ii) to exemplify the development of a research project in philosophy science.

08/10/2020 – Prof. Peter Tyler (St Mary’s University, Twickenham) - The Duty of the Philosopher: Ludwig Wittgenstein in Troubled (and Troubling) Times

[Abstract] In this paper/talk I want to tease out some of the key aspects, as I see them, of the new approach to philosophical psychology that Wittgenstein was developing in the final years of his life, whilst intertwining these philosophical insights with the wider question of what Wittgenstein saw as the ‘duty of the philosopher’ in a time of instability, unease and economic insecurity, that is, times such as our own.
