SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Roy Sorensen (University of 58�Թ� and UT Austin)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Kant risk a lie!\n\nAbstract: Immanuel Kant says\, “lying is the chief sin against others\, alongside robbery\, murder and stuproviolatio”. Kant never risks robbery\, murder\, or rape. But Kant does risk telling intentionally deceptive falsehoods. Instead of being a man a few words\, Kant is a man of three million words. Equally revealing is the scale of Augustine’s corpus: He wrote five million words before he died in 403 at age 75. Augustine was surpassed by Thomas Aquinas: eight million words before reporting a divine revelation to stop writing\, a few months before his death in 1274 at age 48. Each of these three proponents of `Never lie’ take some steps to lower the risk of lying. But their precautions are at the same scale as those who have an average aversion to lying. Accordingly\, all of those famed for their absolute opposition to lying drastically overstate the degree to which they oppose lying.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Matteo Nizzardo (University of 58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Probabilistic Arbitrary Reference\n\nABSTRACT: Arbitrary Reference is the idea that we can refer to individual entities with some degree of arbitrariness. Although there are different accounts of Arbitrary Reference\, nearly all of them can be challenged on the basis that they entail the existence of free-floating semantic facts\, namely: semantic facts which are not grounded in any non-semantic fact. In this talk I propose a solution. First I argue that the friends of Arbitrary Reference can answer the challenge by appealing to the notion of indeterministic grounding. Then I propose a new account of Arbitrary Reference as a probabilistic phenomenon\, and argue that this new account should be preferred over the classical versions of Arbitrary Reference for its ability to build a bridge between cases of canonical and arbitrary reference and the new insights it offers on the phenomenon of semantic vagueness.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Suzuka Komatsu (University of 58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Depression and the Open Future\nAbstract: We intuitively think that the past is fixed or closed whereas the future is open. In a phenomenological description of depression\, however\, depressed subjects often report that the future is closed. Our naïve view of the open future thus seems to be impaired. What makes the depressed subjects to represent the future to be closed? I argue that depressed subject come to have a psychological orientation towards certain ontological views related to the openness of the future. To argue this\, I examine four candidate ontological views: presentism\, the growing block theory\, the block theory\, and the branch theory. I argue that the seeming lack of asymmetry is caused by depressed subjects’ psychological orientation towards either presentism\, the growing block theory\, or the block theory. This tells us\, when we represent the future to be open\, we are implicitly committed to the branch theory.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Louise Richardson (University of York)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Regret \nAbstract: There are many ways to feel bad about things. This paper is about which of those ways of feeling bad count as regret\, and why. I will suggest that a very great deal of our bad feelings are regrets\, in opposition to the narrower view of some philosophers and psychologists who restrict the scope of the regrettable to our past mistakes. As well as defending this expansive conception of what we may regret (regret’s object) I will present a hypothesis about the structure of regret which allows us to understand it as a unitary phenomenon\, despite the varied ways in which it can manifest in our emotional lives. On this hypothesis\, regret is (in a certain\, unorthodox\, sense) a basic human emotion.
