SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Carlotta Pavese (Cornell University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Carlotta Pavese (Cornell University) \nAre there essentially intentional actions? \nA long tradition in action theory holds that there are such things as essentially intentional actions—actions that are intentional whenever performed (Anscombe\, Davidson\, Bennett\, Turri\, etc). In my talk\, I argue that the existence of essentially intentional action is a philosophical myth and that this has interesting repercussions in action theory and in epistemology. In the first part of my talk\, I defend the claim that the doctrine of essentially intentional actions is incompatible with a desirable practical knowledge condition on intentional actions\, which I argue we have independent reasons to embrace. In the second part of my talk I argue that the doctrine of essentially intentional actions is incompatible with a plausible solution to a puzzle—the puzzle of novice learning—-that arises for certain kinds of theories of action and I contend that is an additional reason to reject the doctrine. Finally\, I explore some interesting conclusions that follow from rejecting the doctrine of essentially intentional actions.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Jade Fletcher (58³Ô¹Ï)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jade Fletcher (58³Ô¹Ï) \nPractices\, Normativity\, and Ideological Construction: Conceptualizing Epistemic (In)Justice \nThe aim of this exploratory paper is to put into dialogue two different threads in contemporary social philosophy. Charles Mills made a helpful interjection into the epistemic injustice literature when he suggested that the concept of ideology is valuable for analytic epistemologists. Sally Haslanger has developed a metaphysics which captures how ethically pernicious ideologies can construct unjust social realities. In this paper I want to explore how this metaphysics of the social world might complicate our understanding of the nature of epistemic injustice\, and consequently our conception of the demands of epistemic justice. This is to accept Mills’ invitation to take more seriously the explanatory potency of ideology when theorising epistemic injustice\, but\, following Haslanger\, I understand ideologies to be metaphysically productive. I argue that this metaphysical reframing brings to light a potentially misguided theoretical orientation that pervades the epistemic injustice literature.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Roy Sorensen (UT Austin & 58³Ô¹Ï)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roy Sorensen (UT Austin & 58³Ô¹Ï) \nModesty is a Contagious Blindspot \nI am modest about my spelling accuracy. Oops\, I cannot consistently believe that! Modesty about my spelling entails I underestimate my spelling. If I indeed underestimate my spelling accuracy\, then my ignorance about spelling accuracy is contagious. For if I believe you and I are equals at spelling\, then my modesty commits me to underestimating your spelling. Morally\, you may rightly resent my underestimate! You may also suffer intellectually. In addition to my ignorance of my merit spreading to my ignorance of your merit\, my ignorance can make you ignorant. For if you and I are epistemic peers\, then the limits of my knowledge become the limits of your knowledge. After all\, how do you know that I am modest rather than accurate? In general\, any modesty I possess robs my peers. Modesty is a vice rather than a virtue!
