Workshop : At the Limits of Imagination : Otherness in Humans and Non-Human Animals  | University of Vienna | date de remise des propositions 1er fév. 2024 | sep. 26-28 2024

This two-and-a-half-day-workshop will take place at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vienna as part of the project “The Limits of Imagination: Animals, Empathy, Anthropomorphism” (P 35137-G; funded by the FWF, Austria). It will focus on the possibilities and limits of imagination and empathy with regards to humans and non-human animals, and on the tensions inherent in comparing or comparatively analyzing both groups. The organizers invite scholars from all areas of philosophy, for instance, feminist and political epistemology, (critical) phenomenology, animal studies, political theory, philosophy of mind, critical studies of race and disability, and ethics; also, contributions from related fields such as sociology, political sciences or psychology are most welcome.
