Abstract. 鈥� Talk of function often plays a central role in work on conceptual engineering. An appeal to functions can provide much needed standards for evaluating and constructing concepts, according to how well they fulfill their functions, and whether those functions are desirable. However, there has also been a great deal of skepticism about the… |

There are various recent theories of what is the relationship between the mental and the physical (such as grounding theories and panpsychism). This workshop is an opportunity to explore new theories and arguments concerning the metaphysics of the mind. This could be about mental properties in general or a specific kind of mental properties (e.g.,… |

Abstract: This talk defends a contextualist theory of 鈥榢nowledge鈥� ascriptions. I argue that in some sentences, the implicit argument of 鈥榢nows鈥� is bound by a quantifier. The natural readings of these sentences can be generated by contextualist theories, but not by competing interest-relative theories of knowledge. In addition, I argue that the contextualist can explain… |

Abstract: In this presentation I will discuss epistemic labour, which I characterise as labour one performs in their capacity as an epistemic agent. There is growing interest in a category of domestic labour frequently termed 鈥榚motional labour鈥�. I show that this labour is, in fact, a primarily form of epistemic labour. I argue that domestic… |

Abstract. 鈥斅燙onceptual engineering is a groundbreaking programme in philosophy that focuses on how to best assess and improve our concepts. Yet, it still lacks an operational framework in order for its case studies to be run effectively. And without such implementation strategy, it will never live up to its proclaimed ambitions: Changing people鈥檚 minds and… |
