Abstract: What is the nature of one鈥檚 justification to use a logical principle such as Modus Ponens in reasoning? It is widely agreed amongst epistemologists of logic that such justification cannot be internalist. One key reason offered for this view is that internalist accounts of justification are susceptible to Carroll-style regresses. In this talk, I… |

Abstract: In this talk I examine, and rebut, Goldberg鈥檚 (2020) arguments in favour of a conversational norm that would defeasibly entitle linguistic agents to presume that silence indicates assent (NSR). Using evidence from conversational analysis I show that Goldberg is wrong to claim that our linguistic communities de facto conform to this norm in conversation.…

Abstract: In this paper, I provide an account of the epistemic significance of the phenomenon of 鈥渂eing known鈥� and the relationship it has to reparations that are distinctively epistemic. Drawing on a framework provided by the United Nations of the 鈥渞ight to know,鈥� I argue that victims of gross violations and injustices not only have… |

Pain, Painfulness, and Evaluation In this talk, I survey the increasingly rich, contemporary debate about the nature of pain and its unpleasantness.聽 Along the way, I highlight some of the advantages of my evaluativist view, and, against the messenger-shooting objection, I argue that evaluativism can accommodate the non-instrumental badness of unpleasant pain. |

Abstract: This paper (which is very much a work in progress) will develop the concept of聽extractivist epistemology聽as a way to think through the effect of colonialism on knowing practices. Extractivist epistemologies work analogously to extractivist capitalism: seeking an epistemic resource of some sort—such as a piece of pharmacological knowledge held by an indigenous community or… |

Pluralist Meta-ethical Constructivism and Feminist Social Construction: Meta-ethical Constructivism holds that ethics is grounded upon shared values between agents in a society. In this sense a Constructivist thinks there are correct moral procedures dictated from the 鈥榤oral point of view鈥� (Street, 2008/2010), the following of which both gives answers to moral questions and justifies the… |

Abstract: Knowledge by sight is a standard paradigm of a posteriori knowledge. Knowledge by mathematical proof is a standard paradigm of a priori knowledge. However, I will argue that the two types of knowledge have so much in common that the a priori – a posteriori distinction cannot go very deep. |

Linguistic Conventions and Language Change: I argue that data about language change casts doubt on the following two theses of the Lewisian metasemantic picture: that the essential function of language is communication, and that people share a language in virtue of a common interest (namely, to achieve that particular function). I propose a novel metasemantic… |
