SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Sally Haslanger (MIT): “Conceptual amelioration and social coordination�
DESCRIPTION:Paper: Haslanger (2020)\, “How Not to Change the Subject� \nAbstract. — Concepts are not only useful for enabling individuals to have attitudes – perception\, cognition\, conation\, emotion – but for groups to coordinate with each other.  If we take seriously the coordinating function of concepts\, then although in some cases it is important that concepts connect us to a particular category or kind (water\, gold\, tiger)\, other times what’s important is how and whether they enable us to fluently coordinate (family\, gender\, democracy).  I will argue that\, as a result\, when circumstances change and fluency is disrupted\, sometimes concepts should evolve to reorient us effectively\, rather than remain rigidly fixed on a particular part of the world (or region of worlds). \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)\nYouTube livestream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2KmatAi964jqA6gTSm7wbQ

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Kevin Scharp (58³Ô¹Ï): “What role might experimental philosophy play in conceptual engineering?â€�
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. — Conceptual engineering (CE) is the area of philosophy dedicated to assessing and improving our representational devices. Experimental philosophy (XPhi) focuses on using techniques from experimental psychology and cognitive science to investigate traditional philosophical problems and methods. It has seemed to many that XPhi could play an important role in CE projects\, and various aspects of this idea have started to show up in the literature. Here I focus on a fundamental question about the kinds of CE projects that could benefit from XPhi and how they might do so. This issue is closely linked to a the “changing the subject� problem (from Strawson) that has been used as an objection to CE. In particular\, how is information from XPhi about how we currently think and talk relevant to assessing and improving our representational devices? I argue that XPhi should play an important role in the assessment of most of our representational devices\, but its role in improving them is less clear\, especially in cases of scientific CE\, like the controversial definition of ‘planet’ by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar – “Quotative ‘Be Like'�
DESCRIPTION:Title: Quotative ‘Be Like’\n(joint work with Andreas Stokke (Uppsala))\nAbstract:  There are a variety of familiar ways of talking about our mental states and speech acts\, such as direct discourse (as in\, ‘Ellen said\, “I’m leaving now!�’)\, indirect discourse (as in\, ‘Ellen thought that she would leave’). DD and ID continue to raise difficult philosophical and linguistic issues; but if they are still not fully understood\, that is not for lack of trying: there are thousands of philosophical papers about belief and belief ascription\, and hundreds or thousands about other attitudes: desire\, knowledge\, thinking\, and so on.  By contrast\, one common way we characterise our own mental states and speech acts has entirely escaped philosophical attention: quotative ‘be like’ or QBL (as in\, ‘Ellen was like “I’m leaving now!�’). We argue that neglect of QBL has resulted in a significant gap in our understanding of our own minds and our ways of talking about them.  QBL is interesting because it is very common — corpus studies reveal that it is more common than ‘says’ or ‘thinks’ in many dialects of English\, and related constructions are common in other languages as well — and because (as we show) QBL functions very differently to DD and ID\, and in particular is not reducible to ’says’ or ’thinks’ ascriptions.  Showing that QBL is distinctive in this respect is the first aim of this paper; a second aim is to map out some of the space of theoretical options for explaining QBL.

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Sarah Sawyer (Sussex): “Kinds of concepts�
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. — In this paper I argue that concepts fall into distinct kinds according to such things as their direction of determination\, their modal range\, and the nature of their referents. Such properties determine a given concept’s eligibility for genuine revision. As a result\, different kinds of concepts require different treatment in the context of conceptual engineering. Understanding this allows us to identify a narrow range of conceptual engineering cases which are of special significance.\n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)
