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:Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA): Thi Nguyen (Utah) “Value Capture”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Value capture occurs when an agent enters a social environment which presents external expressions of value — which are often simplified\, standardized\, and quantified — and those external versions come to dominate our reasoning and motivations. Examples include becoming motivated by Twitter Likes and Retweets\, citation rates\, ranked lists of best schools\, and Grade Point Averages. We are vulnerable to value capture because of the competitive advantage that such pre-packaged value expressions have in our reasoning and our communications. But when we internalize such metrics\, we damage our own autonomy. In value capture\, we outsource the process of deliberating on our values. And that outsourcing cuts off one of the key benefits of personal deliberation. When we tailor our values to ourselves\, we can fine-tune them to fit our own particular psychology and place in the world. But in value capture\, we buy our values off the rack.
