I suggest that given a metaphysically productive relationship between pernicious social norms and ideological social construction\, pernicious social norms can create ontologically oppressive kinds\, and consequently this can mar some seemingly valuable features of epistemic normativity and prudential normativity. Given this picture\, I argue that this gives feminist metaphysicians reason to embrace more objectivist conceptions of moral normativity.

M. Scanlon noted that\, despite the widespread attention to Rawls’ A Theory of Justice\, the appeal of contractualism as a moral theory had been under-appreciated. It seems to me that\, nearly thirty years later\, despite the widespread attention to Scanlon’s work\, this appeal is still largely under-appreciated. In this paper\, I try to present Scanlon’s appealing answer to what he once called “the question of motivation” and the relation of this answer to the more metaethical “question of subject matter.” I then defend Scanlon’s view against various\, standard objections\, which\, I claim\, typically misunderstand it. I close by considering what it would take to wed Scanlon’s attractive answer to the question of motivation to another\, non-contractualist\, theory. I conclude that\, even if the marriage could be arranged\, a good part of the appeal of contractualism would inevitably be lost. In particular\, the marriage would sacrifice the central place in Scanlon’s theory for what might be called liberty of conscience.\nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-160/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241003T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241003T173000 DTSTAMP:20260613T054828 CREATED:20240912T213846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241003T220859Z UID:10002151-1727971200-1727976600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Barry Maguire (Edinburgh) DESCRIPTION:Title: Two Moralities of Recognition \nAbstract: According to moralities of recognition\, fundamental moral norms are norms for living together. Moral norms explain how living in unity is possible despite being separate individuals\, they explain how we can relate to each other as persons that are more than mere sources of benefits and burdens\, obstacles and opportunities. Those who relate to each other according to these norms stand in relations of mutual recognition. By contrast\, some moral theories are atomistic — they deny that fundamental moral norms are communal norms. The paper explains the appeal of morality of recognition and elaborates a distinction between two kinds of moralities of recognition. Some envision a community founded on respect; according to these theories\, mutual recognition is mutual respect. Others offer a fundamentally different vision of the moral community\, namely\, one founded on concern; according to these theories\, mutual recognition is mutual concern. We examine T. M. Scanlon’s contractualism as a fully developed\, influential\, and relatively recent version of respect morality and argue that Scanlon’s morality of respect has certain distinctive structural features. We then articulate the contours of an alternative\, morality of concern\, which offers a different idea of moral community and has a distinctively different structure. Our goal is not to present an argument for morality of concern\, but to explain what makes it attractive and to make clear that choosing between the two kinds of moralities of recognition involves choosing between two substantively different visions of how to live together. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-barry-maguire-edinburgh/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241004T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241004T200000 DTSTAMP:20260613T054828 CREATED:20240912T213846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241003T220900Z UID:10002152-1728059400-1728072000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Film and Philosophy Club – Princess Mononoke DESCRIPTION:We are proud to present the Second Session of CEPPA Film Club.

One crucial feature of the theory is that something can be present at a place without thereby being located there. I then go on to apply such new theory to substantive philosophical cases which feature universals\, social entities\, persisting objects and omnipresent beings.

Against these skeptics\, I argue that we can and should use dehumanization to explain an important strand of misogyny. When they are dehumanized\, women are represented simultaneously as human and as inhuman embodiments of the natural world. They therefore appear as magical\, contaminating\, sexualized threats towards whom violence is acceptable or even necessary. Misogynistic dehumanization is important to understanding atrocities like the early modern European witch-hunts\, but also contemporary phenomena like incel violence.

In the recent literature on thought experiments\, some commentators (e.g. Wilson 2016; Dowding 2019) have criticised the lack of attention paid by moral philosophers to two ideas which are key notions in science. These are internal and external validity. Wilson argues that if thought experiments are indeed a kind of experiment\, then philosophers should begin any plausible search for rigour in the scientific literature on experimental research design. When designing a thought experiment\, Wilson suggests we consider the extent to which ethical judgements that are correct or endorsed in the world of the experiment generalise to the world beyond the experiment. This is an important question to consider. However\, I suggest that Wilson’s approach (i) overstates the connection between real-world scientific experiments and thought experiments (ii) focuses too readily on the formal structure of thought experiments at the expense of the argumentative context. With respect to the former claim\, I suggest that this points towards a more general thesis that it is a mistake to treat the reasoning involved in the use of thought experiments as a subset of scientific reasoning. I shall also consider\, towards the end of the talk\, a more moderate (and plausible) view of the positive role that the concepts of internal and external validity might play in evaluating and assessing the legitimacy of thought experiments. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-adrian-walsh-university-of-new-england/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241014T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241014T110000 DTSTAMP:20260613T054828 CREATED:20240914T170841Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241014T185310Z UID:10002155-1728898200-1728903600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Medieval Logic Seminar: Strode’s Consequentiae DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/medieval-logic-seminar-strodes-consequentiae-5/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58łÔšĎ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Medieval Logic Reading Group,Medieval Logic Research Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241014T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241014T140000 DTSTAMP:20260613T054828 CREATED:20240914T170841Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241014T185311Z UID:10002156-1728907200-1728914400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: Pre-Read – Mereotopology 1 DESCRIPTION:Casati\, Roberto & Varzi\, Achille C.

Seeing as well. Detecting the edges of objects is not. Believing is a personal state. Seeing as well. Detecting is a sub-personal event or process. The personal/sub-personal distinction is intuitive. In recent papers\, some have argued that it is problematic. I argue that it is not. Two criticisms are that it is not principled (cf. Mason Westfall) and that it potentially stifles the work of cognitive scientists by misdescribing their practices (cf. Robert Rupert.) The personal/sub-personal distinction\, as applied to states\, is a special case of a distinction between the state something is in and the states its parts are in. Further commitments are not necessary and only come down the line. As a consequence\, one can both take it that there is such a distinction in cognitive science and that it puts no external constraint on the activity of cognitive scientists URL:/philevents/event/language-and-mind-seminar-brice-bantegnie/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Language and Mind Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241015T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241015T170000 DTSTAMP:20260613T054828 CREATED:20240915T172500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241013T185313Z UID:10002160-1729004400-1729011600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/fpst-seminar-20/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
