An Interdisciplinary and International Workshop
Time: 9 March 2016, 09.00 - 18.30
Venue: Zimmermann Kratochwill gallery, Opernring 7, 8010 Graz
Upcoming exhibition at the Zimmermann Kratochwill gallery: Don't Panic It's Organic (Opening: 27.02.2016, Exhibition Data: 28.02. - 02.04.2016)
Disagreement is omnipresent. It is equally familiar in everyday life and in expert meetings. It reaches far beyond blatant political rows and culturally-based differences of life-style. Neither is it restricted to special issues of taste. It also prevails with regard to matters that seem to easily allow for objective decision. Disagreements can be deep or shallow, genuine or illusive, acknowledged or ignored. It is therefore not surprising that people often disagree about disagreement. This may concern the precise range and type of disagreement: whether it is about facts, words, concepts, interpretations, methods, theories, or values. It may also concern the prospects and strategies of either dissolving or pragmatically coping with disagreements. Yet do all instances of disagreement call for resolution? How should we conceive of so-called reasonable disagreements? What might it mean to go ahead and live with persistent disagree-ments? What are the easier and what are the really hard questions about disagreement?
Our workshop will broach relevant questions that arise with regard to the nature, sources, and impacts of disagreement in various fields of human concern. The talks and discussions are meant to shed light on the great variety of disagreements and depict different approaches one may sensibly follow in analysing them.
