SUMMARY:Metaphysical Indeterminacy Conference

This conference seeks to bring together researchers interested in this emerging topic and be an occasion to widen and deepen the debate around it. To reflect the interdisciplinary interest in this topic\, the conference will feature contributions from traditional metaphysics\, social metaphysics\, and science-informed metaphysics.  \nConference program \nThe conference booklet is available here. \nDay 1\n9.45-10 Welcome (and coffee) \n10.10-10.30 Introductory remarks  \n10.30-11.30 Maureen Donnelly: Distinguishing between Vague and Precise Objects \n11.30-11.45 quick break \n11.45-12.45 Aaron Cotnoir: Close Enough to Touch: How to Approximate Boundaries for Ordinary Objects \n12.45-14.15 lunch break \n14.15-15.15 King Fung Kelvin Chan: Metaphysical Indeterminacy\, Social Construction\, and Reasonable Pluralism  \n15.15-15.30 quick break \n15.30-16.30 Kevin Richardson: Fear of Social Indeterminacy \nDay 2\n9.15-9.30 coffee/tea \n9.30-10.30 Alessandro Torza: Metaphysical Indeterminacy and Chance \n10.30-10.45 Quick break \n10.45-11.45 Kamil Furman: Relational Metaphysical Indeterminacy: A New Account for Lowe’s Scenario Against Evans’ Proof \n11.45-12 Quick break \n12-13 George Darby: ‘Quantum indeterminacy’ and Metaphysical Methodology \n13-14.30 lunch break \n14.30-15.30 Will Moorfoot: Rich Combinatorics \n15.30-15.45 Quick break \n15.45-16.45 Robert Williams: Inconceivable Indeterminacy \n  \nSponsors: Arché Research Centre\, Analysis\,  Aristotelian Society\, ISOS\, Mind Association\, Scots Philosophical Association \nThis event is affiliated with the Metaphysics and Logic Research Group. \nOrganiser: Giulia Schirripa (gs235@st-andrews.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:Social Metametaphysics Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Social Metametaphysics Workshop \nEvent Description \nThe aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars to discuss the nature and methodology of social metaphysics. Interest in social metaphysics in recent decades has exploded and questions about the status and ambitions of social metaphysics are now taking centre stage. This workshop aims to consolidate this current methodological turn by hosting a two-day event where participants can discuss questions like the following. How do the traditional questions about the aims and methods of metaphysics apply to debates in social metaphysics? Are traditional distinctions between metaphysical realism\, deflationism\, and pragmatism useful for making sense of the status of properties\, entities\, or kinds that are socially constructed? How do the projects of social metaphysics relate to inquiries into the nature of social reality that have been traditionally conducted within social science and social theory (e.g. feminist theory\, sociology\, economics\, etc.)? How should social metaphysicians understand the epistemology of social metaphysics\, especially given the widespread view that ordinary thinking about the nature of social reality has been systematically distorted by ideology? What role should moral and political values play in social metaphysics? In what ways might embracing normative constraints on social metaphysical theorising impact the status or epistemology of the resulting theories? \nWorkshop Programme \nDay 1 \n10.00 – 10.30 Coffee and Welcome \n10.30 – 12.00 Elanor Taylor (Johns Hopkins) ‘Explanatory Metametaphysics’ \n12.00 – 13.30 Lunch \n13.30 – 15.00 Naomi Thompson (Bristol) ‘Social Construction as Social Explanation’ \n15.00 – 15.30 Coffee \n15.30 – 17.00 Esa Díaz-León (Barcelona) ‘Social Constructionism Revisited’ \n18.30 Speaker Dinner \nDay 2 \n10.00 – 10.30 Coffee \n10.30 – 12.00 Asya Passinsky (Central European University) ‘Pluralism and Amelioration’ \n12.00 – 13.30 Lunch \n13.30 – 15.00 Matthew J. Cull (Trinity College Dublin) ‘Feminist Deflationism: Metametaphysics\, Subject Matter\, and Method’ \n15.00 – 15.30 Coffee \n15.30 – 17.00 Kevin Richardson (Duke) ‘Enemies to Lovers: the Metaphysician and the Pragmatist’ \n This event is affiliated with the Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Research Group \nOrganiser: Jade Fletcher (jef1@st-andrews.ac.uk)
