W03.2: Similarity after Carnap - Perspectives from Philosophy and Cognitive Science Location: 23.21 U1.75 In his Aufbau programme, Carnap sought to provide a formally rigorous account of how property concepts—and ultimately scientific theories—can be constructed on the basis of similarity, particularly through a procedure he called quasi-analysis. Goodman famously challenged the viability of this method, later even claiming that the appeal to similarity is inherently problematic. This workshop aims to bring together scholars from both philosophical and psychological traditions to debate the role of similarity in constituting categorization, analogical reasoning, and belief systems—and to explore the continuing relevance of Carnap’s work in this debate.

W09.2: Data-Driven Methods for Philosophy Location: 23.21 U1.72 Computational methods have revolutionized most fields of academic research, including the humanities. More recently, they have also been put to use in the philosophy of science, history of philosophy, and metaphilosophy. In this satellite workshop, we discuss techniques from the digital humanities, network science and artificial intelligence research that can support the study of philosophical corpora. |

W02.2: Explanation and the “practical turn" in philosophy of mathematics – an interdisciplinary perspective Location: 23.21 U1.76 Chair: Carolin Antos The practical turn in the philosophy of mathematics shifts the focus from traditional foundational questions to the actual practice of mathematics, opening new avenues for interdisciplinary engagement. One such field is mathematics education, where overlaps emerge particularly in epistemological questions—for example, the nature and role of explanation. This workshop aims to provide a forum for exploring these.
