TITLE: Artifacts and the Limits of Human Creative Intentions ABSTRACT: According to Amie Thomasson鈥檚 author-intention-based account of artifacts, an artifact of kind K is essentially a product of a largely successful intention to create something of kind K (see, e.g., Thomasson (2003), 鈥淩ealism and Human Kinds鈥�, Philosophy and聽Phenomenological Research, Vol. 67, No. 3, pp. 592-602).… |

Joint work w/ Lorena Ram铆rez-Lude帽a (Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona) ABSTRACT. 鈥斅燱e will discuss two different phenomena of language usage that we have characterized in past work as flexibility and tolerance. We will examine their relation, or lack thereof, to conceptual engineering and we will apply the distinctions discussed to the specific case of the legal… |

Abstract: When a person has evidence about their capacity to assess the evidence for or against a proposition, for example, when they have evidence that their assessment is subject to bias, they have higher-order evidence. A popular view in epistemology is that higher-order evidence can make a difference to whether it is rational for a… |

Title: Truthmaker semantics for containment and nonsense Abstract: Conceptivism is the doctrine according to which a proposition cannot entail another proposition if the latter contains a concept which is not already contained in the former: entailment does not introduce any additional conceptual content. This doctrine motivates so-called containment logics, namely logics where a formula B… |

*Session jointly hosted with ARCH脡’s “Mind & Language” Research Group ABSTRACT. 鈥� We should all be supporters of conceptual聽engineering. I take that to be relatively uncontroversial. But why 鈥� exactly? That’s where the controversy starts. I give the answer I like, drawing on a view in metaphysics which explains why we need conceptual analyses (of… |

Abstract: Argumentation is often contrasted with testimony in that in cases of testimony, an epistemic agent (presumably) primarily evaluates the trustworthiness of the source of information (the informant), whereas in argumentation there is (presumably) primarily engagement with the content communicated. I have argued however (Dutilh Novaes 2020) that trust and trustworthiness in fact play an…

ABSTRACT. 鈥斅燩hilosophers have taken a wide range of approaches to defining health. I offer a pessimistic take on such definitional projects. I will argue, not only that extant accounts are flawed, but that no theory which seeks to give a single, unified conceptual definition of health can succeed.

Abstract: What is the nature of one鈥檚 justification to use a logical principle such as Modus Ponens in reasoning? It is widely agreed amongst epistemologists of logic that such justification cannot be internalist. One key reason offered for this view is that internalist accounts of justification are susceptible to Carroll-style regresses. In this talk, I… |

It has been nearly thirty years since Crispin Wright鈥檚 Truth and Objectivity was published, and in these thirty years alethic pluralism has established itself as a strong contender in the current debate on truth. Yet, while various intricate versions of alethic pluralism have been developed over the years, many philosophers are still hesitant to buy… |

Title: Something Must Go Abstract:聽In this talk, we identify a tension between the intensional criterion of property identity and Leibniz鈥檚 Law. In particular, we argue that these two widely accepted criteria, when taken together and examined in light of certain assumptions, offer a circular analysis of the identity of properties and objects. |

One of the most intriguing theories of consciousness developed during the past twenty years is the Integrated Information Theory (IIT). Its core idea is that consciousness is identical with integrated information, that is, with the amount of information a system can generate as a whole, over and above the information produced by its component parts…

Abstract: Hinge propositions, or simply 鈥渉inges鈥�, are primitive certainties that we (must) presuppose in our normal inquiries. Recently there has been a lot of interest in hinge epistemology, which is a kind of epistemology that sets the notion of hinge at the center stage. This paper puts forward a dilemma leveled against hinge epistemologists. The… |
