SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Thi Nguyen (University of Utah)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Value Capture \nAbstract: 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.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Rachel Fraser (University of Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘The limits of ideology critique’ \nAbstract: The tradition of ideology critique promises a lot. It promises to be critical of the existing social order. (Good!) But it promises to generate this critique without appealing to ‘external’ normative standards. In this talk I argue on meta-normative grounds that ideology critique cannot make good on these promises.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Elizabeth Barnes (University of Virginia)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Ameliorative Skepticism and the Nature of Health \nAbstract: In this talk\, I’ll give a brief overview of the project I call ‘ameliorative skepticism’. Sally Haslanger has argued that\, in doing social ontology\, we can sometimes approach the question ‘what is x?’ by asking question ‘what do we want x to be?’. I argue that sometimes the only way to answer this question is to answer it skeptically: that what we want x to be is something it can’t be. But I suggest that there’s a version of skepticism we can bring to questions like this that is substantially weaker than error theory or eliminativism. I use the case of health as an example.
