As a case study\, I use avalanche risk: a form of voluntary risk taking in which the individual is often partly responsible for the occurrence of the relevant event. In particular\, I highlight the challenge that avalanche risk communicators face when “informing” or “educating” individuals about the relevant risks\, and I will present some experimental work on the risk perception of end users of the Scottish avalanche forecasts and discuss their (mis)understanding of the relevant risks. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-philip-ebert-university-of-stirling/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250213T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250213T173000 DTSTAMP:20260614T024852 CREATED:20250131T185310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250213T195309Z UID:10002390-1739462400-1739467800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Simon Lee (Earth & Environmental Sciences) and Viviane Fairbank (Philosophy) DESCRIPTION:Please join us on for the Second edition of the Philosophy of Climate Science (PhiCliSci) working group\, which will bring together philosophers and climate scientists to discuss central themes relating to the climate crisis. In the first session\, climate scientist Simon Lee and philosopher Viviane Fairbank will give presentations on the topic of ‘Climate Modelling and Climate Communication’ in climate science. \nTitle: Climate Modelling and Climate Communication \nLocation: John Henderson lecture room in Castlecliffe URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-simon-lee-earth-environmental-sciences-and-viviane-fairbank-philosophy/ LOCATION:John Henderson lecture room\, Castlecliffe\, 58Թ\, Fife\, KY16 9AZ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250220T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250220T173000 DTSTAMP:20260614T024852 CREATED:20250131T185310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250219T200844Z UID:10002391-1740067200-1740072600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Petronella Randell (University of 58Թ) DESCRIPTION:Title: Resisting the unexperienced \nAbstract: An experience is epistemically transformative when you can’t know what it’s like without having the experience. Though this characterisation doesn’t neatly fit transformative experiences\, a surprising number of everyday experiences fit the description. The clearest parallel is with aesthetic experiences. The Acquaintance Principle (Budd\, 2003) says that an agent can only appreciate an object’s aesthetic properties if that agent is first-personally acquainted with the object. I explore the grounds we have for resisting (or choosing) such experiences\, drawing on the similarities between epistemically transformative experiences and aesthetic experiences. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-petronella-randell-university-of-st-andrews/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250227T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250227T173000 DTSTAMP:20260614T024852 CREATED:20250131T185311Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250227T203810Z UID:10002392-1740672000-1740677400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Katharina Bernhard (58Թ) DESCRIPTION:Title: Multiple Aims of Science and the New Demarcation Problem \nAbstract: TBC \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-katharina-bernhard-st-andrews/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
