Colloquium

For information about what we’re doing for our weekly colloquium please subscribe to our Mailing List. For information about membership click here.


Colloquium?

In our weekly colloquium we discuss papers relating to our yearly topic, listen to interesting talks, and give feedback to presentations about whatever our members are working on. The information and reading about each week’s meeting will be sent out a few days prior via our Mailing List.

Open Sessions

Every third session we will try to have an open session in which we take a break from our conference topic. Every member can propose something we could do, like: read a paper they need for a seminar, present something they are working on to get feedback, or anything else related to analytic philosophy.  And don’t feel like you have to fill an entire session – just tell us how much time you need and we will make plans for the remaining time.
If you have a suggestion for an open session, write to martin.niederl(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)univie.ac.at.

What can you expect?

A usual session would look like this: we all read the material for the session beforehand and discuss any and every question and comment that comes up! The questions/comments can range from understanding (What was the main argument of the paper? I didn’t understand section X, can someone please explain what the author tried to do there?) to critique (I don’t think the argument works because […], what do you think?) and much more.
The main goal of our colloquium is to provide a room for discussion about analytic philosophy and further our understanding about the papers and topics. This means that everyone, regardless of which semester they are in, can parttake!
Even if you can’t think of any questions or didn’t have the time to read the material, you can still come and listen. We want to make the Forum as accessible to everyone as we can.
Lastly, you can expect to meet many interesting people and potential friends! When the circumstances allow it, we often go for drinks after a session and just have fun.
