Wissenschaft und Philosophie: the motto’s small word hides an assumption most of us never think to question. Every field treats the «und» as neutral, a simple ampersand between neighbours. This evening session argues it isn’t.Florence and Stefano, of the English-language Meetup group «Philosophical Minds Zurich», open with a demonstration that will make you doubt what «knowing» something even means, to then push further into places where our best knowledge quietly works without anyone understanding why, science included. Somewhere along the way, one host starts arguing for a position neither of them actually holds – and you won’t be told which one, or when.
Expect real disagreement between the two of them, no script to fall back on, and an open floor to the audience once the ground beneath the motto has properly shifted. No prior philosophy knowledge required, just a willingness to lose your footing a little.
In English.
«Philosophical Minds Zurich»
Florence A. Zufferey graduated in Medieval Studies with a minor in Philosophy. Though she pursued a career in the private sector first in HR, then in HR-AI Consulting, she never abandoned her original field of studies. She serves on the organising committee of the Meetup group «Philosophical Minds Zurich» and remains an avid reader of treaties, books, and classics. Combining her passion and profession, she currently focuses on ethical technology as well as the epistemological consequences of modern technology.
An engineer by training, Stefano Brunelli built intelligent systems supposedly capable of predicting outcomes — in BI, data science, and AI. A few years ago he began asking what technology does to people and society, not just what it can do, pulling him into political philosophy and philosophy of technology. He also loves debating across disagreement. He co-hosts «Philosophical Minds Zurich».
