Summer School on Philosophical Engineering (with travel bursaries)

DATE & VENUE:
August 25-31, 2019
DCLPS (Duesseldorf Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science), University of 
Duesseldorf

INSTRUCTORS:
  *  Eckhart Arnold (Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities)
  *  Elke Brendel (University of Bonn)
  *  Filippo Ferrari (University of Bonn)
  *  Simon Huttegger (University of California, Irvine)

AIMS & SCOPE: Contemporary analytic philosophy makes heavy use of formal 
methods. However, most of the time people engaged in such a formal 
endeavour are highly specialised, for which reason they quite often focus 
on one particular branch of formal philosophy. This is also reflected in 
contemporary philosophical curricula, which typically offer highly 
specialised courses on particular formal methods, but only rarely cover a 
broad range of them. This summer school aims at providing an introductory 
overview of the main methods applied in formal philosophy or philosophical 
engineering: logical devising, model building, programming and simulating, 
and employing digital resources in the broader realm of digital 
humanities. By bringing together international experts in these fields, 
participants will gain competencies in applying a broad range of formal 
methods in their field of interest; for this purpose, each of the 
mentioned topics is covered by professional instructions, exercises, 
interactive group work, and the discussion of results by the participants. 
Furthermore, participants will be provided with opportunities to 
independently deepen their competencies in a particular topic of interest 
following completion of the course.

REQUIREMENTS: The summer school is suitable for anyone with some basic 
knowledge in logic (as is gained, e.g., by completing an elementary 
university course on logic). The main target audience is MA and PhD 
students, however, this is not an exclusive criterion, for which reason 
the summer school is also open for BA students.

TRAVEL BURSARIES (THERE ARE NO FEES): Attending the summer school is free 
of charge. We provide a limited number of travel bursaries up to a maximum 
of 150EUR each (only participants with no travel support from their home 
institution or any other organisation are eligible for the travel bursary 
application).

APPLICATION & ORGANISATION: Please apply via the online application form 
at our website: http://dclps.phil.hhu.de/engineering/ The deadline for 
applications is July 1, 2019. If you have any queries, please do not 
hesitate to contact the organiser Christian J. Feldbacher-Escamilla 
(DCLPS) (christian.feldbacher-escamilla@hhu.de). The summer school is 
generously supported by the University of Duesseldorf and the Duesseldorf 
Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science (DCLPS).
