SUMMARY:Contractarianism\, Role Obligations\, and Political Morality
DESCRIPTION:An in-person symposium in St. Andrews on themes from the recently-published\, Contractarianism\, Role Obligations\, and Political Morality\, by Ben Sachs. \nLocation: Edgecliffe\, G03 \nSchedule (all times PM) \n1:30-1:55: Ben Sachs-Cobbe\, Philosophy\, University of St. Andrews\, “Welcome and Summary” (Chs. 1-3) \n1:55-2:35: Michael Moore\, Law\, University of Illinois\, “Finding the Purposes of Staplers and States” (Ch. 4) \n2:35-3:15: Antony Duff\, Philosophy\, University of Stirling (Emeritus)\, “Legal Liberalism+ and the Varieties of Legal Moralism” (Ch. 5) \n3:15-3:45: Tea/coffee break \n3:45-4:25: Cécile Fabre\, Political Philosophy\, University of Oxford\, “Who’s In\, Who’s Out: the Scope of Contractarian Political Morality” (Ch. 6) \n4:30-5:10: Visa Kurki\, Jurisprudence\, University of Helsinki\, “Sachs on the Legal Status of Sentient Animals” (Ch. 7) \n5:15-5:45: Panel Session\, with all speakers mentioned above as panelists \nBook Precis \nContractarianism is well suited as a political morality…or so this book argues\, before going on to explore the implications of deploying contractarianism in this way.  Its starting point is the natural thought that the state owes things to its people: physical security\, public health and sanitation services\, and a functioning judiciary\, for example.  But we need a theory—a political morality—that can explain why this is so and identify who the state’s ‘people’ are.  The book argues that what it means for the state to have obligations is for the state’s office-holders (e.g.\, its legislators\, judges\, and bureaucrats) to have role obligations.  These role obligations derive from the purpose of the state\, which is grounded in the intentions of those who partake in the sustaining of the state. By way of extracting implications from this new version of contractarianism\, the book argues first that at least an extremely weak version of political liberalism follows from it.  And this small dose of political liberalism yields a very strong version of legal liberalism (the view that the goodness/badness of an act doesn’t figure in to the question of how the law\, including the criminal law\, ought to deal with that act).  Second\, the book argues that there is an important sense in which it’s false that sentient animals as such are among the state’s people\, and that the arguments for extending citizenship to this fail.  Finally\, from there the book argues for a moderate position on the proper legal status of such animals. \nRegistration \nAttendance is free\, thanks to gratefully acknowledged support from the Scots Philosophical Association.  Although registration is not required\, it would be helpful if you’d register by sending an email to Ben Sachs-Cobbe (bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk).  Those who register might get a free meal or two\, budget allowing! \nThe symposium venue is disability accessible and funds are available to pay for childcare for those who need it in order to attend.  If you have any questions about the symposium\, please contact Ben Sachs-Cobbe (bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Cécile Fabre (Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 \nTitle: The Morality of Gossip \nAbstract: Gossip is pervasive and wide-ranging. It lubricates and wrecks social relationships. Many people openly confess to loving it yet acknowledge that gossiping\, while often gratifying\, is\, if not morally wrong\, at least not quite right. Gossip has not received much attention in moral philosophy. In this paper\, I argue that notwithstanding the fact that gossip often has beneficial effects\, it is often wrong\, on Kantian grounds. To that end\, I first provide an account of the phenomenon of gossip and of its value. I then argue that two fairly standard arguments against gossip do capture some morally problematic features of gossip (to do with breach of trust and deception) but are under inclusive. The deeper underlying worry about gossip\, I go on to claim\, is that it amounts to a particular kind of failure to treat others – be they gossipees or gossipers – as persons.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Ben Sachs-Cobbe (58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 and Teams \nTitle: What’s wrong with teaching our children to be good citizens? \nAbstract: Character education is a common part of schooling in the U.S. and U.K.\, and one popular argument in favour of character education is that it is conducive to producing citizens who have the virtues that make someone a good citizen.  But there is an oft-heard objection to the idea that educators should try to inculcate the virtues of citizenship\, namely that doing so serves a conservative agenda.  In this talk I investigate what separates a conservative from an anti-conservative theory of good citizenship\, and conclude that educating children for the virtues of citizenship cannot possibly serve a conservative agenda\, or for that matter any controversial political agenda at all.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Emilia Wilson “Mis-interpretive Resources”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Inadequacies in our interpretive resources are epistemically and communicatively disabling; in some cases\, these inadequacies can constitute (hermeneutic) injustice. Accounts of hermeneutic injustice have primarily centred on the absence of necessary resources; however\, critics have highlighted cases in which the problem is a resource we do possess (‘positive hermeneutic injustice’). In this talk I examine how access to an interpretive resource may be communicative and epistemically disabling. I begin by distinguishing two sorts of interpretive resource: constituents of representations and ‘scaffolds’ which enable us to grasp said representations. I show that scaffolding resources may enable us to grasp inaccurate representations of a target: I term these mis-interpretive resources. I then turn to consider how these mis-interpretive resources may be epistemically and communicatively disabling. Considering the role scaffolding resources enables us to explain how interpretive resources may ‘compete’\, meaning that a new resource may render agents less competent. Attending to scaffolding resources thus offers a richer understanding of positive hermeneutic injustice which explains details the original account fails to capture. Finally\, I note that mis-interpretive resources may give rise to particularly pernicious forms of disablement\, due to the apparent feeling of understanding they furnish one with.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Sally Haslanger (MIT)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only)\n\n\nTitle: Ideology\, Culture\, and Social Meaning\n\n\nAbstract: My aim in this paper is to sketch a conception of ideology that draws on the critical theory tradition. This conception of ideology is a response to a particular challenge for those working on social justice: Why is it that most of us\, most of the time\, act in ways that perpetuate injustice? To begin to answer this question\, I will develop an account\, inspired by Althusser among others\, that embeds ideology in social practices. Social practices enable both human and non-human animals to coordinate fluently and flexibly in response to each other and our environment; and they depend on something like a “language” – a system of signs and signals – that makes socially intelligible agency possible. I call such a framework of meaning and its material apparatus a cultural technē. I go on to argue that Grice’s distinction between natural and non-natural meaning is too coarse to provide us an account of social meaning\, and drawing on Skyrms and others working on signals\, I propose that a cultural technē is a framework or system of signs. I then consider how we might capture the publicity of social meanings in terms that don’t require complex metacognition. I conclude that account of ideology as a cultural technē “gone wrong” provides us the basics of a critical account of ideology.\n\nThe full paper can be read here\, but attendees are not expected to have read the paper in advance.\nCo-hosted with ECT.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar (Online): Liz Jackson (Toronto) “How to Be (And How Not to Be) An Impurist”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Evidentialism is the view that evidence alone determines rational belief. Recently\, several rivals to evidentialism have been defended\, including pragmatic and moral encroachment\, epistemic partiality\, and practical and moral reasons for belief. Call these rivals “impurist” views. While impuirst views have both compelling cases and interesting arguments in their favor\, they also face a number of serious challenges. In this paper\, I explain three of the most important challenges to impurism. Then I argue that\, by embracing epistemic permissivism\, impurists can hold onto what’s central to their views while dealing with all three of these challenges. Finally\, I suggest that the evidentialist should also embrace permissivism\, as it helps them better respond to the most compelling considerations in favor of impurism.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Nancy Fraser (The New School)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only)\n\n\nTitle: Three Faces of Capitalist Labor: Uncovering the Hidden Ties among Gender\, Race\, and Class\n\n\nAbstract: Dissatisfied with identity-based politics\, many activists and intellectuals are now seeking larger paradigms that can unify disparate struggles. Aiming to advance that project\, I propose that labor forms the hidden link between gender\, race\, and class. My inspiration is W.E.B. Du Bois’s claim\, in Black Reconstruction\, that nineteenth century America had two labor movements\, anti-slavery and trade unionism\, which tragically failed to unite. Extending this idea to the present\, I expand it by adding a third. Construing feminism\, too\, as a labor movement\, focused on the work of care\, I argue that that capitalist society relies on three distinct types of labor: exploited\, expropriated\, and domesticated. Their structural entwinement\, I maintain\, constitutes the inner\, systemic ties between gender\, race\, and class.
