SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Francisca Silva (University of 58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Sets as fusions of materially-equivalent rigid embodiments \nAbstract: Albeit having some initial plausibility\, most philosophers today would reject the thesis that members of sets are parts of sets\, instead following Lewis (1991\, 1993) in taking sets and classes more generally to have only their subclasses as parts\, with singletons being mereologically atomic. Against this background\, Caplan et. al (2010) attempt to maintain that sets have their members as parts\, in the framework of Fine’s (1999\, 2010) theory of rigid embodiments. Their view\, however\, is committed to a rejection of classical mereology as it very directly entails failures of the principle of strong supplementation. In this talk I will attempt to motivate a (work-in-progress) view of the mereology of sets based on Fine’s theory of rigid embodiments in which: (i) the members of sets are parts of sets; and (ii) no principle of classical mereology is violated. The resulting view is that sets just are fusions of rigid embodiments sharing the same material parts. Throughout the talk I will also consider how this theory may help justify some of the restrictions on set construction from standard set theory.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Jane Friedman (NYU) “The Aim of Inquiry?”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: It is said that inquiry has an aim\, though it’s not entirely clear how we should think about this claim. What\, in general\, does it mean to say that the activity of inquiry has an aim? In this talk I go through a few options and think about them within the context of the current debate over what the specific aim of inquiry is (e.g.\, knowledge vs. true belief vs. understanding).

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Peter Railton (University of Michigan)
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change\, COVID-19\, Justice\, and Quality of Life \nAbstract: Justice would appear to require that those who are the principal beneficiaries of a history of economic and political behavior that has resulted in harmful global climate change should bear a correspondingly large share of the burden in contending with these harms worldwide. At the same time\, however\, a prevalent material conception of quality of life has led many to assume that taking on this burden would require diminishing the quality of life—and associated level of well-being or happiness—enjoyed in the most-developed countries. For such societies fully to accept this burden therefore seems unlikely to achieve the social and political support it would need. However\, I will argue that a material conception of quality of life is at odds with what can be learned from an extensive body of evidence regarding “subjective well-being”—an imperfect though informative empirical measure of how people experience and evaluate their lives. This evidence suggests an account of the sources and nature of subjective well-being that is compatible with more sustainable levels of resource utilization and more equitable global distribution. The COVID-19 pandemic can be seen as a stress-test for responses to global climate change\, and it has witnessed wide differences in the health outcomes for countries that are not simply a function of the level of material wealth or available technological or medical resources. Effective social policies\, institutions\, and practices have been accompanied by better and fairer health outcomes with less disruption of daily life\, suggesting that the purported “health vs. economy” or “health vs. personal freedom” trade-offs in the most-developed societies have been misconceived. Might something similar be true of the supposed costs to the quality of life of more effective environmental policies and practices on the part of the most-developed societies?

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Anna-Sofia Maurin (University of Gothenburg)
DESCRIPTION:Flatworldism: A (Reluctant) Defense \nFlatworldism is a view on the nature of reality according to which reality lacks a certain kind of – hierarchical – structure. Prima facie what this means is that reality’s inhabitants are not sub-dividable into the more and less fundamental such that what is more fundamental (at least sometimes) makes what is less fundamental exist and be the way it is. Flatworldism is not a view I hold. In general\, I think a view according to which reality is hierarchically structured is preferable to one according to which it is not. Still\, I think Flatworldism has received an unfair hearing in recent literature. In this paper I therefore play devil’s advocate and defend Flatworldism against some of the criticisms that have been raised against it. My long game is a defense of the hierarchical—grounding—conception of reality. My hope is that\, in identifying the strongest most charitable version of Flatworldism\, I will be able to more clearly formulate and then more persuasively argue for its opposite.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Jean Gové (58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Cognitive Acquaintance: A Non-Causal Alternative \nWithin literature on singular thought and reference\, acquaintance is one of the ‘orthodox’ ways successful reference is achieved. Generally speaking\, an acquaintance theory articulates that there must be some relation existing between subject and object. While the notion has developed significantly since Russell’s articulation of it\, today the acquaintance relation is generally described in terms of some sort of causal relation. I argue that a causal view of acquaintance faces some challenges which should make us seek an alternative. In its stead\, I propose a rearticulation of Evans’ view of acquaintance which incorporates the notion of skill. In this manner\, I argue that this non-causal alternative – which I term Cognitive Acquaintance – is to be preferred.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Jennifer Morton (University of Pennsylvania)
DESCRIPTION:Title: An Agential Account of Poverty \nAbstract: Poverty has traditionally been conceived as a state of deprivation. To be poor is to lack something that is essential to human flourishing. How that something is conceived—in terms of welfare\, resources\, or capabilities—and how it is to be measured—in absolute terms or as relative to a social standard—has been the subject of much debate within development circles. Though many philosophers have written about our obligations to the poor\, relatively little philosophical attention has been devoted to thinking of poverty as a phenomenon ripe for philosophical analysis. In this paper\, I put forward a theory of poverty rooted in the philosophy of action. I argue that to be poor is to be in a context in which an agent’s capacity for long-term deliberation is systemically undermined by rational pressure to engage in efficient short-term deliberation. In other words\, to be poor is to have to constantly turn one’s mind to the immediate satisfaction of current needs and desires at the expense of deliberating about the pursuit of long-term projects and ends that one deeply values.
