Thus\, especially in its strong version\, pluralism amounts to the claim that the notion of truth we ordinarily employ is actually directly linked with a plurality of realizer properties. At the same time\, this conceptual unity is normally taken to be mirrored at the linguistic level by the existence of a single truth predicate “True”\, which must then also be characterised in plural terms. However\, although much has been said about the relation between the concept of truth and its realizers\, comparatively little attention has been devoted to the meaning of our ordinary predicate “True” and to model the plurality allegedly appearing in it.  In fact\, if the concept of truth is realized by different properties in different domain\, we should expect that different properties will also be relevant for different truth ascriptions (i.e. for different uses of the term “True”). In this paper I will offer a detailed discussion of various ways of modelling the alleged plurality in the meaning of “True”. First\, I will consider and discard some constant plural semantic accounts\, showing that “True” is importantly variable in meaning. Thene\, I will discuss and also criticise some options for a context-sensitive semantic analysis of this predicate\, showing that “True” is actually insensitive to contexts\, standardly conceived. Finally\, I will conclude this paper by arguing the “True”\, within a strong pluralist picture\, is actually polysemous. \n  URL:/philevents/event/language-and-mind-seminar-stefano-pugnaghi-university-of-st-andrews/ LOCATION:Online Meeting via Teams CATEGORIES:Language and Mind Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240425T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240425T143000 DTSTAMP:20260615T211307 CREATED:20240326T003925Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240425T035444Z UID:10001977-1714050000-1714055400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam & 58łÔąĎ) DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam & 58łÔąĎ) \nA Foucauldian critique of the epistemic injustice research program \nCatarina Dutilh Novaes (joint work with Merel Talbi and Solmu Anttila)\n\nSince the publication of Fricker’s groundbreaking Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing (2007)\, vibrant debates on the complex relations between knowledge\, ethics and power have ensued\, arguably giving rise to a specific research program (in Lakatos’ sense). In contrast with apolitical social epistemology\, the epistemic injustice research program problematizes the roles of power and social identities in epistemic processes. Two of its core assumptions are: there is a reasonably neat separation between epistemic phenomena and ethical-political phenomena (even if they often intersect); while frequent\, occurrences of epistemic injustice are deviations from the norm that can be redressed—epistemic injustice is a bug\, not a feature.\n\nIn this talk\, I offer a critique of the epistemic injustice research program thus conceived\, drawing on broadly Foucauldian ideas on the relations between power and knowledge. I focus on the second assumption above\, specifically by revisiting Curry’s critique of Fricker’s and Medina’s respective analyses of To Kill a Mocking Bird\, and by presenting a similar critique of Lackey’s recent work on criminal testimonial injustice. In both cases\, the analyses of testimonial injustice as credibility deficit (Fricker and Medina) or as credibility excess (Lackey on confessions) miss the role and functions of these practices in perpetuating oppressive power structures (in these specific cases\, white supremacy). Thus seen\, epistemic injustice is a feature\, not a bug\, requiring much more than epistemic strategies to be redressed.
