The World Congresses of Philosophy are organized every five years by the International Federation of
Philosophical Societies in collaboration with one of its member societies. The xxiii World Congress of
Philosophy will be held from August 4 through August 10, 2013, in Athens, Greece, under the auspices of the
Hellenic Organizing Committee, which has been constituted by the Greek Philosophical Society.

 The Congress has several aims, which are to be understood as complementary:

 To inquire into the world’s philosophical traditions and compare them in terms of their diverse
contributions and possible mutual cross-fertilization.
To reflect on the tasks and functions of philosophy in the contemporary world, taking account of the
contributions, expectations, and gaps in philosophical awareness associated with other disciplines,
with political, religious, social, economic, technological, etc., activities and with diverse
cultures and traditions.
To emphasize the importance of philosophical reflection for public discourse on global issues affecting humanity.

 Because of its cultural history and geographical situation, Athens is an ideal location for stimulating
encounters between scholars from across the world. The main theme of the 2013 Congress, ‘Philosophy as
Inquiry and Way of Life’, emphasizing both theory and practice, recalls the declaration of Socrates
that the unexamined life is not worth living.

 The 2013 Congress invites discussion of the nature, roles, and responsibilities of philosophy and
philosophers today. It is committed to paying heed to the problems, conflicts, inequalities, and
injustices connected with the development of a planetary civilization that is at once multicultural and techno-scientific.

2013-2014 Visiting Fellowships at the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science

Call for Applications for Visiting Fellowships at the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science

We are currently inviting applications for one-semester visiting fellowships at The University of 
Sydney, for either second semester (August to November) 2013 or first semester (February to May) 
2014. This program is associated with The Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science (SCFS), a 
research centre promoting work into the logical, philosophical, and historical foundations of 
science (further details below). We are hoping to receive applications from leading historians and 
philosophers of science (including the special sciences and biomedical sciences) at any post-PhD 
career stage. This is the sixth round of such fellowships and we anticipate being able to offer them 
each year.

Up to four fellowships are available, and each fellowship will come with a travelling allowance of up 
to AUD 6,000. These fellowships will provide opportunities for academics on sabbatical from their 
home institution to spend a semester in a productive and collegial research environment (in a 
beautiful city), to work with members of the SCFS and with other visiting fellows. It is important 
that the applicant has a position at their home institution that extends beyond the term of the 
intended stay in Sydney and is on salary from their home institution for the duration of their 
intended stay. The allowance is to help offset some of the travelling and living-away-from-home 
expenses; it is not a salary. The successful applicants will be expected to work on a specific 
research project currently being conducted in the  SCFS. See the SCFS website for current research 
projects. One of the aims of the SCFS is to strengthen international links in history and philosophy 
of science, so expressions of interest from researchers outside Australia are particularly 
encouraged.

Applications should including a cover letter, a CV, an indication of which of the current research 
projects you intend to work on and what your contribution to that project will be. Applications 
should be sent electronically to:

Dr Rodney Taveira
Administrative Officer
Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science
School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry
A14, Main Quadrangle
University of Sydney
Sydney, NSW, 2006
Australia
Email: rodney.taveira@...

by 14th November 2012. Applicants will be informed of decisions by 19th December 2012.
