Welcome to the Forum

News: The first official session of the Forum this semester will take place on Friday, October 11th, at 18:30 in Hörsaal 3B! We are looking forward to seeing you all soon.

As always, we select a new topic we will explore through readings and discussions, culminating in a conference in July next year. If you are interested, you can send a topic suggestion to alina.sophie.jacobs(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)univie.ac.at by October 14th at 13:00. The submission should include a title, a brief description of the topic, potential keynote speakers, as well as five relevant texts we could read. If possible, please also suggest an introductory text.

Who we are

The Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy is a student organisation whose objective is to promote research, exchange and discussion among students and scholars.
For this purpose we organize regular meetings, lectures, workshops and conferences and foster national and international contact with individuals and groups interested in analytic philosophy.

What we do

During the semester we meet every Friday from 18:30-20:00 currently in HS 3B (NIG) and online via Zoom to discuss various papers related to our annual conference topic and also individual interests. Afterwards we often go for drinks!

Additionally, the Internal Workshops and Open Sessions we organise give our members the chance to present their work and help each other through discussion and feedback.

Once a year, our Graduate Conference brings together philosophers from all over the world to discuss our annual topic. Check out this year’s conference: Wait, what?! A Graduate Conference on Nonsense and Category Mistakes.
