SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Jonathan Birch  (LSE)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Debating proportionality at the edge of sentience \nAbstract: Can octopuses feel pain and pleasure? What about crabs\, shrimps\, insects or spiders? How do we tell whether a person unresponsive after severe brain injury might be suffering? When does a fetus in the womb start to have conscious experiences? Could there even be rudimentary feelings in miniature models of the human brain\, grown from human stem cells? And what about AI? These are questions about the “edge of sentience”\, and they are subject to enormous\, disorienting uncertainty. The stakes are immense\, and neglecting the risks can have terrible costs. We need to err on the side of caution in these cases\, yet it’s often far from clear what ‘erring on the side of caution’ should mean in practice. When are we going too far? When are we not doing enough? My forthcoming book The Edge of Sentience: Risk and Precaution in Humans\, Other Animals\, and AI constructs a precautionary framework designed to help us reach ethically sound\, evidence-based decisions despite our uncertainty. This talk will introduce some of the main ideas\, zooming in on the role I think citizens’ assemblies can appropriately play in assessing proportionality. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 \n

SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This week\, our visiting scholar B.V.E. Hyde (Leeds) will convene a special Work-in-Progress session on the topic of “Ethical Debates on Human Challenge Trials”. Hyde will present for around 5 minutes\, providing a short explainer on some of the ethical debates surrounding controlled human infection models\, which are a type of clinical trial in which patients are directly infected with a pathogen. The intention is mainly to discuss rather than listening to a lengthy presentation. There will be no reading: Hyde’s short explainer will cover all the required information. Location: Edgecliffe G03 and Teams \nContact: ceppadirector@st-andrews.ac.uk

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Andreas Mogensen (Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Welfare and Felt Duration \nAbtract: How should we understand the duration of a pleasant or unpleasant sensation\, insofar as its duration modulates how good or bad the experience is overall? Given that we seem able to distinguish between subjective and objective duration and that how well or badly someone’s life goes is naturally thought of as something to be assessed from her own perspective\, it seems intuitive that it is subjective duration that modulates how good or bad an experience is from the perspective of an individual’s welfare. However\, I argue that we know of no way to make sense of what subjective duration consists in on which this claim turns out to be plausible. Moreover\, some plausible theories of what subjective duration consists in strongly suggest that subjective duration is irrelevant in itself. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 \n

SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This week we will discuss Tyler Cowen’s ‘What Do We Learn From The Repugnant Conclusion?’. Luca notes that if people find Section 3 hard to read\, he is very happy to explain it at the MPRG. Additionally\, he mentions that ‘(1) section 5 is not essential (but it is extremely fun) and (2) it is absolutely unnecessary to read the appendix.’ That leaves just 17 pages of moral philosophy! \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and Teams \nContact: ceppadirector@st-andrews.ac.uk

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Luca Stroppa (58�Թ� & Turin)
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of our series on Climate Ethics \nTitle: The Ranked Range View \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 \nAbstract: The bad effects of climate change will affect\, and be affected by\, the number of people who will exist\, and their quality of life. Thus\, when evaluating our climate policies and actions\, we need to know which population is best to choose when the number of people and their quality of life varies. However\, several powerful arguments show that no theory ranking populations can respect some set of very compelling adequacy conditions (the most famous being to avoid the so-called “Repugnant Conclusion”. In this talk\, I introduce the Structured Range View\, a theory for ranking populations that respects all adequacy conditions\, except one\, called “Non-Anti-Egalitarianism”. I however argue that the way the Structured Range View violates “Non-Anti-Egalitarianism” in unproblematic. We should accept the Structured Range View when choosing between populations. (If I have time) I conclude by sketching the impact of the Structured Range View on climate policies.
