Reality Testing and Knowledge Production: A Psychological View of the
Realism-Antirealism Controversy
There are two basic positions in regard to knowledge about the world and
reality which can be traced as far back as the times of the philosophers
of ancient Greece. On the one hand, there is the position of those who
believe that there exists a way of knowing allowing an objective access
to the structures of the world and reality beyond observation. On the
other hand, there is the position of those who argue that no such way of
ontological knowing exists. The former is known as (scientific) realism,
the latter as antirealism. Both positions provide a lot of good reasons
for their stance and against the contrary one. From a philosophical
point of view the disputation seems to be held on a pure rational level.
However, empirical evidence shows that in (scientific) reasoning
emotional factors are always involved and that pure rationalism is
nothing but a big myth. Starting with a psychological analysis of human
reality testing ability as an important adaptation principle in every
day life, an attempt is made to identify the implicit emotional factors
underlying scientific reasoning and co-determining the preferences for
epistemological positions.

Karl Popper 2002
Centenary Congress
3 July 2002 - 7 July 2002
Vienna, Austria
www.univie.ac.at/karlpopper2002
Third Announcement and Call for Papers
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, the city of
Vienna
will host a Congress to celebrate the life and work of one of the most
influential theorists and philosophers of the 20th century: Karl Popper,
born in Vienna in 1902. In a programme of invited lectures, symposia,
and
contributed papers, the Congress plans to examine and evaluate the great
variety of Popper's thought, including his contributions to scientific
method, logic, probability theory, quantum mechanics, critical
rationalism,
social philosophy, liberalism, platonism, marxism, moral philosophy, the
theory of objective knowledge, darwinism, evolutionary epistemology, the
philosophy of history, the pre-socratics, the body-mind problem, and the
psychology of learning.
Some sessions of the Congress will be devoted to biographical topics,
including Popper's youthful enthusiasms in music, education, and
political
action. The City Hall will stage an exhibition devoted to his life and
times.
The Congress will be held in the City Hall, and in the main building of
the
University of Vienna. The Opening Ceremony will take place under the
patronage of the President of Austria, Mr Thomas Klestil, in the
afternoon
of Wednesday, 3 July 2002. Sir Hermann Bondi, Lord Quinton, the former
Chancellor of West Germany, Mr Helmut Schmidt, and the former President
of
Portugal, Mr Mario Soares, have agreed to be present as guests of
honour.
The scientific work of the Congress will be arranged in seven sections:
1 Philosophy of the physical sciences
2 Philosophy of the biological sciences
3 Philosophy of the social sciences
4 Moral & political philosophy
5 Logic & scientific method
6 Epistemology & metaphysics
7 Life & times of Karl Popper
The following have accepted invitations to give lectures and to
participate
in symposia.
Joseph Agassi (Tel Aviv); Daniela Bailer-Jones (Bonn); Isabella Burger
(Johannesburg); Bruce Caldwell (Durham NC); Hans-Joachim Dahms
(Göttingen);
Michael Esfeld (Köln); Victor Finn (Moscow); Steve Fuller (Coventry);
Evelyn
Gröbl (Linz); Troels Eggers Hansen (Roskilde); Michel ter Hark
(Groningen);
Toby Huff (Dartmouth MA); John Maynard Smith (Brighton); Alan Musgrave
(Dunedin); Anthony O'Hear (Bradford); Michael Redhead (London); Alfred
Schramm (Graz); Guglielmo Tamburrini (Pisa); Andrew Vincent (Sheffield);
Günter Wagner (New Haven)
Call for Papers
Deadline for submissions: 15 January 2002
Notification of acceptance: 1 April 2002
Contributed papers concerned with Popper's work are invited in all
sections.
The Congress languages are English and German.
It is recognised that many topics (for example, evolutionary
epistemology,
the propensity interpretation of probability, Popper's attitude towards
social democracy) could be placed in more than one section, and that
some
(for example, axiomatic geometry, music, philosophy of education) fit
neatly
into no section. Contributed papers on such topics are welcome, but
authors
are asked to choose that section that seems most appropriate. It is
expected that papers in the history of philosophy, if not better placed
elsewhere, will be submitted in section 6. In the interest of arranging
sessions on closely related themes, the Programme Committee may move
some
accepted papers between sections, but it is hoped that such
interventions
will be rare. Potential contributors are asked to bear in mind that a
period of 30 minutes will be allotted to each contributed paper,
including
discussion.
Blackboards/whiteboards, overhead projectors, and slide projectors will
be
available in all lecture rooms. If other equipment is required, please
contact the KP2002-Congress-Secretariat (address below).
Guidelines for the preparation of the abstracts
Abstracts should be composed in Word for Windows (as .doc or .rtf
files), as
ADOBE Acrobat (.pdf) files, or as Postscript or .dvi files, and should
be
confined to a single page of A4. The preferred font is 11pt Times New
Roman.
The printed part of the page should not exceed 15 cm in width and 20cm
in
height, with a centred heading and wide margins.
Example:
Section 6: Epistemology & Metaphysics
IS CRITICAL RATIONALISM CRITICAL ENOUGH?
