SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Emma Borg (Reading)
DESCRIPTION:In Defence of Individual Rationality: \n  \nCommon-sense (or folk) psychology holds that (generally) we do what we do for the reasons we have. This common-sense approach is embodied in claims like “I went to the kitchen because I wanted a drink” or “She took a coat because she thought it might rain and hoped to stay dry”. However\, the veracity of these common-sense psychological explanations has been challenged by experimental evidence (primarily from behavioural economics and social psychology) which appears to show that individuals are systematically irrational – that often we do not do what we do because of the reasons we have. Recently\, some of the same experimental evidence has also been used to level a somewhat different challenge at the common-sense view\, arguing that the overarching aim of reasoning is not to deliver better or more logical decisions for individual reasoners\, but to improve group decision making or to protect an individual’s sense of self. This paper explores the range of challenges that experimental work has been taken to raise for the common-sense approach and suggests some potential responses. Overall\, I argue that the experimental evidence should not (currently) lead us to a rejection of individual rationality.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Daniel Garibay Garcia (58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Authority and Group Assertion\n\nWe commonly attribute assertions to groups like companies and government institutions\, and we want to hold them accountable for their assertions. Intuitively\, we don’t attribute those assertions to the individuals performing them\, but to the groups. The question is: what kind of speech act is group assertion and how does it relate to individual assertion? Is it reducible to de second? In this work\, I defend an account based on having the authority to assert on behalf of the group. I take support from Lackey’s (2018) account of group assertion. I argue that her account has some important problems and I try to give a more succinct account of group assertion.
