SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar (Online): Sally Haslanger (MIT) “Ideology\, Culture\, and Social Meaning”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: My aim in this paper is to sketch a conception of ideology that draws on the critical theory tradition. This conception of ideology is a response to a particular challenge for those working on social justice: Why is it that most of us\, most of the time\, act in ways that perpetuate injustice? To begin to answer this question\, I will develop an account\, inspired by Althusser among others\, that embeds ideology in social practices. Social practices enable both human and non-human animals to coordinate fluently and flexibly in response to each other and our environment; and they depend on something like a “language” – a system of signs and signals – that makes socially intelligible agency possible. I call such a framework of meaning and its material apparatus a cultural technē. I go on to argue that Grice’s distinction between natural and non-natural meaning is too coarse to provide us an account of social meaning\, and drawing on Skyrms and others working on signals\, I propose that a cultural technē is a framework or system of signs. I then consider how we might capture the publicity of social meanings in terms that don’t require complex metacognition. I conclude that account of ideology as a cultural technē “gone wrong” provides us the basics of a critical account of ideology.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar (Online): Liz Jackson (Toronto) “How to Be (And How Not to Be) An Impurist”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Evidentialism is the view that evidence alone determines rational belief. Recently\, several rivals to evidentialism have been defended\, including pragmatic and moral encroachment\, epistemic partiality\, and practical and moral reasons for belief. Call these rivals “impurist” views. While impuirst views have both compelling cases and interesting arguments in their favor\, they also face a number of serious challenges. In this paper\, I explain three of the most important challenges to impurism. Then I argue that\, by embracing epistemic permissivism\, impurists can hold onto what’s central to their views while dealing with all three of these challenges. Finally\, I suggest that the evidentialist should also embrace permissivism\, as it helps them better respond to the most compelling considerations in favor of impurism.
