We are pleased to announce the Graduate Workshop on "Explaining
Explaining" to be held in Vienna from September 1-3\, 2025. The workshop
is organized under the auspices of\, and funded by\, the Vienna Doctoral
School of Philosophy (VDP).

THEME
Explanations recur as a constant and central theme in philosophy:
philosophers contend that in mathematics\, proofs are favoured for their
explanatory values\; in the sciences\, theories are selected according to
explanatory virtues they exhibit\; in metaphysics\, explanatory relations
direct our accounts of concepts and ontological priority\; in philosophy
more broadly\, we offer and compare explanations for facets of reality in
order to resolve conceptual problems.

CONFIRMED SPEAKERS
Prof. Dr. Francesca Poggiolesi (CNRS\, Paris)
Prof. Dr. Chiara Lisciandra (Heinrich Heine University\, Dü\;sseldorf)
Prof. Dr. Benjamin Schnieder (University of Vienna\, Vienna)
Fourth speaker to be confirmed
