  • Philosophical Controversies About Objectivity in Classical German Philosophy and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy Padova, 12-23 September 2016
    Padova Philosophy Summer School Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity in Classical German Philosophy and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy Padova, 12-23 September 2016 What is objectivity? And what is objective? How do we manage to disagree with each other if something is objectively there? What’s more, how can we understand our mutual disagreement? What happens when we disagree? How can we deal with disagreement? The summer school "Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity" intends to offer an in- depth understanding of some important philosophical disputes, both of the past and present, relating to objectivity as well as the necessary analytical tools for a critical investigation of these debates. Lecturers Andrea Altobrando Teresa Marques Hokkaido University University Pompeu Fabra Pierfrancesco Biasetti Vittorio Morato University of Padua University of Padua Elisa Caldarola Sebastiano Moruzzi University of Padua University of Bologna Massimiliano Carrara Michele Palmira University of Padua University of Barcelona Karin de Boer Marzia Soavi KU Leuven University of Padua Niklas Hebing Gabriele Tomasi Rurh-Universität-Bochum University of Padua Luca Illetterati Whilhelm Vossenkuhl University of Padua Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Max Kölbel Tomoyuki Yamada University of Barcelona Hokkaido University Summer school structure: During the frst two days, introductory classes on the topics of philosophical disagreement and on the tools to analyze them shall be provided. From the third day on, there will be morning classes on disputes concerning objectivity in specifc philosophical areas (ontology, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, philosophy of logic and language, etc.), and afternoon workshops, during which the students will be required to analyze and discuss the disputes introduced during the morning classes.

Building on sustainability performance in universities, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures deployed by universities to measure sustainability; detect the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish university system (SUS) sustainability practice; analyse the SUS contributions to sustainability-related Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I); and assess the efficacy of such practices and procedures as reported in the literature. The indicators of scientific activity were defined by applying scientometric techniques to analyse the journal (Web of Science) and European project (CORDIS) databases, along with reports issued by national institutions. The findings showed that measuring sustainability in the SUS is a very recent endeavour and that one of the strengths is the university community’s engagement with the ideal.
