Typically\, this thesis is characterized by an axiom stating\, more simply\, that everything has atomic parts. The present paper argues that the success of the standard characterization crucially depends both on how the notion of composition is related to the notion of sum and on how the notion of sum is initially defined. In particular\, we put forward a novel definition of mereological sum such that: (i) provided no strong decomposition principle is assumed\, it is not equivalent to extant definitions in the literature; (ii) can be used to claim that the standard characterization of atomism fails in that for something to have atomic parts is not sufficient for it to be be the sum of its atoms\, and (iii) delivers a purely mereological distinction between structured and unstructured wholes [Joint Work with Alessandro Giordani\, Catholic University of Milan].

In 2006\, the International Astronomical Union revised the concept PLANET so that it excluded Pluto\, and insisting that the result was an improvement. But what could it mean for one concept or conceptual scheme to be better than another? Here we draw on the theory of epistemic utility to address this question. We show how the plausibility and informativeness of beliefs\, two features that contribute to their utility\, have direct correlates in our concepts. These are how inclusive a concept is\, or how many objects in an environment it applies to\, and how homogeneous it is\, or how similar the objects that fall under the concept are. We provide ways of measuring these values\, and argue that in combination they can provide us with a single principle of concept utility. We use this measure to account for concept constitution\, and to rationalize cases of concept-revision. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link) URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-tba-4/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Conceptual Engineering Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201007T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201007T123000 DTSTAMP:20200709T154732Z CREATED:20200709T154732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200709T154732Z UID:10001000-1602068400-1602073800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Martin Smith DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-martin-smith/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/philevents/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dr_martin_smith-JILVjV.tmp_.png ORGANIZER;CN="Ben Sachs":MAILTO:bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201007T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201007T140000 DTSTAMP:20201007T212848Z CREATED:20200823T180425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201007T212848Z UID:10001212-1602075600-1602079200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-44/ ORGANIZER;CN="Ben Sachs":MAILTO:bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201007T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201007T160000 DTSTAMP:20201007T191118Z CREATED:20200820T172134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201007T191118Z UID:10001199-1602079200-1602086400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy & Social Theory Seminar DESCRIPTION:Katharina Bernhard URL:/philevents/event/feminist-philosophy-social-theory-seminar-4/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T120000 DTSTAMP:20201008T221645Z CREATED:20200710T160942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201008T221645Z UID:10001014-1602151200-1602158400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Super Special Seminar tba DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/super-special-seminar-tba-8/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Super Special Seminar series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T173000 DTSTAMP:20201008T221856Z CREATED:20200710T155442Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201008T221856Z UID:10001013-1602172800-1602178200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Martin Smith (Edinburgh) DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Lexical Priority\, Decision Theory and De Minimis Risk’ \nAbstract: Say that one moral requirement takes lexical priority over another just in case violations of the former can never be outweighed or counterbalanced by violations of the latter. While lexical priority is arguably a feature of many ethical systems\, attempts to model it within the framework of decision theory have led to a series of difficulties – a fact which is sometimes spun as a ‘decision theoretic critique’ of lexical priority. In this paper\, I will develop an enriched decision theoretic framework that is capable of overcoming one of the major obstacles to modelling lexical priority. The key move is to introduce\, into decision theory\, a non-probabilistic conception of risk known as normic risk.

My negative thesis is there is a novel counter-example to Counter-closure. According to this conservative principle\, if you now know a conclusion by virtue of deducing it from a premise\, then you knew that premise all along the inferential process. The counter-example features a lazy but logical student Mini. Doctor Evel tells her D: All deductive arguments reason from general to particular.  When she is unpersuaded\, Doctor Evel cites the definition of deduction in the Oxford English Dictionary. In light of this authority\, Mini does not know that D is false. But then she rallies: Not D\, therefore. Not D. Whether her premise counts as general or particular\, her own deduction constitutes a direct counterexample to D.

I propose that\, contrary to some popular feminist analyses\, the significance of positive assault portrayals is the meaning of ‘consent’ and ‘rape’ they promote. On this view\, belief in rape myths for example\, does not merely reflect misconceptions about the nature of rape\, but the adoption of a regressive conception of what ‘rape’ means.  Positive assault portrayals force us to presuppose this regressive conception of ‘rape’ in order to make sense of them. I aim to argue that these positive assault portrayals\, specifically when produced in popular media\, could successfully shift the meaning of ‘rape’\, with potential consequences for the perpetration of sexual violence itself.  URL:/philevents/event/language-and-mind-seminar-19/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Language and Mind Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201013T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201013T170000 DTSTAMP:20201013T230607Z CREATED:20200716T174429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201013T230607Z UID:10001019-1602601200-1602608400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Helen De Cruz (St Louis): “Ameliorative genealogy and hunter-gatherer philosophies†DESCRIPTION:Abstract. — According to Mary Midgley (1919–2018)\, philosophy is like plumbing: “Each system supplies vital needs for those who live above it. Each is hard to repair when it does go wrong\, because neither of them was ever consciously planned as a wholeâ€. In her view\, philosophy responds to basic needs that are fundamental to human social life. Our political and social institutions have philosophical concepts at their basis\, and a well-ordered society requires philosophical concepts that are up to the task of helping us devise right ways of living together. Melioristic projects in philosophy attempt to fix or reroute this plumbing\, but because our philosophical concepts are invisible and because we are so familiar with them\, conceptual engineering is difficult. Philosophical genealogies aim to overcome this limit to our imagination by looking at how our current concepts originated. This paper will discuss philosophical concepts developed in hunter-gatherer communities as a source of inspiration for melioristic philosophy and conceptual engineering. We ought not treat contemporary hunter-gatherers as proxies of stages of human evolution. Rather\, examining the philosophical ideas of hunter-gatherers is useful because it gives us a better idea of the range of human ethical\, political\, metaphysical ideas. Members of large-scale societies do not get a clear view of this range\, because living in large groups presents its own constraints and challenges\, which in turn limits the philosophical options. I will argue that features of hunter-gatherer philosophies\, such as egalitarianism and care for one’s natural environment are not inevitable byproducts of hunter-gatherer life\, but rather\, sophisticated philosophical ideas\, and hunter-gatherer societies\, past and present\, are philosophical peers to our present-day large-scale societies. I close by considering the role of academic philosophers in the light of this. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link) URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-tba-5/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Conceptual Engineering Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201014T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201014T140000 DTSTAMP:20201014T215801Z CREATED:20200823T180426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201014T215801Z UID:10001213-1602680400-1602684000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-45/ ORGANIZER;CN="Ben Sachs":MAILTO:bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201014T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201014T160000 DTSTAMP:20200916T182335Z CREATED:20200820T172134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200916T182335Z UID:10001200-1602684000-1602691200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy & Social Theory Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/feminist-philosophy-social-theory-seminar-5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201014T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201014T170000 DTSTAMP:20201014T194200Z CREATED:20201001T184452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201014T194200Z UID:10001250-1602691200-1602694800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Professor Diana Paton\, William Robertson Professor of History\, University of Edinburgh DESCRIPTION:Professor Diana Paton\, William Robertson Professor of History\, University of Edinburgh\, will present this year’s Annual Lecture in the History of Women\, Gender and Sexuality. \n  \nFor the Teams Live Event link\, when available\, please contact Dr Kate Ferris on kf50@st-andrews.ac.uk.

This essay contends that Anscombe was wrong. Morality corresponds to Aristotle’s general sense of “justice\,†which is complete virtue in relation to another. But Anscombe’s question remains: what is it for an action to be morally wrong\, not merely something one should not do? The answer is not that wrongness warrants blame or that an action is wrong when it wrongs another person\, but that an action is morally wrong when it is something one should not do that one has no right to do. In the absence of rights\, Anscombe’s question has no answer. \nMorality-Handout URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-kieran-setiya-massachusetts-institute-of-technology/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201015T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201015T180000 DTSTAMP:20201015T214159Z CREATED:20200717T165327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201015T214159Z UID:10001022-1602777600-1602784800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA!).
