Abstract: When all goes well, one鈥檚 agreement to 蠁 constitutes valid consent to 蠁. If I agree to your doing X to me, for instance, and all goes well, then I waive any right I had against your doing X to me, and other things being equal, you are morally permitted to do X to… |

Abstract: The unification of the paradoxes of truth and vagueness has been a topic of recurrent philosophical interest (e.g. McGee 1989/1990, Tappenden 1993, Field 2003/2008, Priest 1994/2010). I will present a sequence of observations which illustrate how the liar and sorites paradoxes are formally related, culminating in the observation that both give rise to similar…

Abstract: Classic cases of homonyms are uncontroversial: 鈥渂ank鈥� can mean a financial institution or the side of a river. However, when we look at either of these meanings with more resolution, the story gets blurry. 鈥淏ank鈥� can refer to the building keeping money or the corporate institution that owns the building. In this talk, I…

Another methodological project which has been attracting attention in the last few years is conceptual engineering (CE). Its areas of implementation are now diverse, but as was the case initially with… |

Jimena Clavel Vazquez will give a talk on 鈥淓mbodying imagination鈥� (co-authored with Adriana Clavel-V谩zquez) Abstract: Traditionally, we think of imagination as a paradigmatic case of offline cognition, i.e. cognitive endeavors that do not directly involve real-time adaptive interactions with our surroundings. In this piece we challenge this more traditional understanding and argue for an…

Abstract Conceptual engineering is aptly characterized as the method to assess and improve our representational apparatuses. But little has been said so far on how to best construe these representational apparatuses for the very purposes of conceptual engineering 鈥斅爄n other words, on what conceptual engineering should be all about. This paper addresses this foundational issue… |
