SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Rachel Cooper (Lancaster): ā€œPsychiatric kinds and the DSM: Notes and queries from a conceptual building siteā€
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. ā€”Ā The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is a classification of mental disorders. It is published by the American Psychiatric Association and revised by committees of psychiatrists ever fifteen years or so. This talk considers the DSM as a ā€˜conceptual building siteā€™. For successful conceptual engineering to be possible we would need to be able toĀ  (i) figure out how concepts might be defective and how they might be improved\, and (ii) bring about conceptual change. In the literature on conceptual engineering\, many seem to assume that (i) is fairly easy\, but that (ii) may be very hard. Through a discussion of the DSM revision process I argue that\, in at least some cases\, bringing about conceptual change is relatively easy\, but that figuring out how concepts might be defective and how they might be improved can be very hard. The overall aim of the talk is to help make discussions of conceptual engineering more concrete by focussing on a real life ā€˜conceptual building siteā€™. \n\nZoom meeting ID:Ā 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Julia Zakkou (Bielefeld)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This paper investigates the norm of presupposition\, as one pervasive type of indirect speech act. It argues against the view that sees presuppositions as an indirect counterpart of the direct speech act of assertion and proposes instead that they are much more similar to the direct speech act of assumption. More concretely\, it suggests that the norm that governs presuppositions is not an epistemic or doxastic attitude such as knowledge\, justified belief\, or mere belief; itā€™s a practical attitude\, most plausibly the attitude of rational acceptance. This view has important ramifications well beyond debates in philosophy of language and linguistics. It affects not only our view of which speech act sequences are fine and which are off; it bears on whether presuppositions can function as testimony\, whether they can be lies\, and whether they are ontologically committal\, thus addressing central topics in epistemology\, ethics\, and metaphysics.

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Juliette Kennedy (Helsinki): ā€œOn the feasibility of conceptual engineering in logic and (meta)mathematics: A few case studiesā€
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. ā€”Ā Precisifications of certain informal concepts could be thought of as instances of conceptual engineering: the concept of a Turing machine (human effective computability)\, the notion of a Kripke structure (possibility)\, the Kolmogorov axioms (probability)\, Tarskiā€™s definition of truth in formal languages\, to name just a few. Should weĀ regardĀ the technical notions these formalisms define as engineered concepts? In this talk I will present a critical view of the feasibility of conceptual engineering in logic and foundations of mathematics\, drawing on a few key examples:Ā the concept of ā€œmodel\,ā€ which emergedĀ slowly and under significant internal pressures; the concept of computability\, and from my own work the concept of formalism independence/formalism freeness. The view taken here is that foundational formalisms such as these are not tracking conceptual change so much asĀ invariantĀ conceptual content.Ā Time permitting\, we venture into the sociology of mathematics as it bears on the control problem.Ā Mathematicians are often resistant to new concepts (especiallyĀ those coming from foundations).Ā The bar may be set too high for conceptual engineering projects in mathematics if such projects do not deliver onĀ conventionalĀ factors such as simplification (the complex number proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra)\, establishing deep connections between mathematical subdisciplines (Hrushovskiā€™s application ofĀ model-theoretic concepts to the Mordell-Lang Conjecture)\, the ability to prove new theorems (projective determinacy vis a visĀ regularity properties of the reals). \n\nZoom meeting ID:Ā 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Sanford Goldberg (Northwestern/58³Ō¹Ļ): ā€œProposing non-standard concepts in epistemology: de novo construction or conceptual re-engineering?ā€
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. ā€” Let ā€˜epistemic conceptsā€™ refer to those concepts which express the standards employed in epistemic assessment.Ā Ā  Such concepts offer an interesting test case for conceptual engineering.Ā  On the one hand\, they seem like they are tailor-made to be constructedĀ de novo\, answering to whichever of the varying interests we might have in epistemic evaluation.Ā  On the other\, charges of ā€œchanging the subjectā€ are not unknown in epistemic theorizing\, suggesting that there is a fixed subject-matter we are trying to capture in our concepts and theories.Ā  In this talk I try to motivate the need for some non-standard epistemic concepts\, and then suggest how they might be seen as conceptually re-engineered rather than merely constructedĀ de novo. \n\nZoom meeting ID:Ā 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | David Ludwig (Wageningen): ā€œThe politics of conceptual engineering from a global perspective: Lessons from Latin America and West Africaā€
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. ā€” This talk addresses methodological and political challenges of conceptual engineering in cross-cultural perspective. Based on four case studies of interdisciplinary (empirical and philosophical) research projects in Latin America and West Africa\, the talk demonstrates the heterogeneity of epistemological and ontological perspectives of stakeholders and the often hidden politics of their inclusion/exclusion in the negotiation of conceptual resources. Beyond a critical perspective on the current state of conceptual engineering\, the talk also outlines a positive framework of a globally engaged and participatory methodology. Starting with the increasingly global orientation of experimental philosophy\, the framework emphasises the need for mixed-methods strategies that supplement experimental methods for conceptual analysis with qualitative evidence and participatory methods for an inclusive negotiation of conceptual resources. \n\nZoom meeting ID:Ā 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar. Talk: Philip Ebert (Stirling) and Martin Smith (Edinburgh): ā€œVarieties of Riskā€
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The notion of risk plays a central role in economics\, finance\, health\, psychology\, law and elsewhere\, and is prevalent in managing challenges and resources in day-to-day life. In recent work\, Duncan Pritchard (2015\, 2016) has argued against the orthodox probabilistic conception of risk on which the risk of a hypothetical scenario is determined by how probable it is\, and in favour of a modal conception on which the risk of a hypothetical scenario is determined by how modally close it is. We introduce three different conceptions of risk: the standard probabilistic conception\, Pritchardā€™s modal conception\, and a normalcy conception. Ultimately\, we argue that the modal conception is ill-suited to the roles that a notion of risk is required to play and explore the prospects for a form of pluralism about risk\, embracing both the probabilistic and the normalcy conceptions.
