According to one influential view\, which I call the Relevance View\, we should save one person’s life in this case\, since headaches are irrelevant to death. In this paper\, I want to examine what this implies for a different set of cases – cases in which we might inflict harm on some in order to save others from harm. Translating the relevance view from ‘whom-to-save’ to ‘harming-to-save’ cases\, I show\, is not straightforward. We need to consider up to four different ‘relevance rules’\, and to consider the relationships between them. I will further argue that considering the Relevance View in these cases reveals something important about two fundamental principles of preventive morality —  that the proportionality principle is logically prior to\, and constrains the operation of\, the necessity principle \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-patrick-tomlin-warwick-university/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T110000 DTSTAMP:20260613T075609 CREATED:20241012T185339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241111T205314Z UID:10002206-1731317400-1731322800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Medieval Logic Seminar: Strode’s Consequentiae DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/medieval-logic-seminar-strodes-consequentiae-9/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Medieval Logic Research Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T140000 DTSTAMP:20260613T075609 CREATED:20241012T185339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241111T205314Z UID:10002207-1731326400-1731333600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: Pre-Read – Regions & Connection 2 DESCRIPTION:Stell\, J.

Historians have shown that our modern conceptions of trans* identity and sexual orientation originate in central Europe c.1869-1910. What else can we learn from history to inform contemporary Gender and Queer Studies? This talk will explore the histories of terms like “Gender\,” the origins of the “two sex” model of humanity\, and explore the fallacies of binary democratisation in the nineteenth century.

I’ll start by giving some background on the topic more generally and presenting some problems that have been raised for it in the literature\, and then spend most of the time on Andersen and Kappel’s article “Epistemic consequentialism as a metatheory of inquiry”. Here is the abstract for their article: \nThe overall aim of this article is to reorient the contemporary debate about epistemic consequentialism. Thus far the debate has to a large extent focused on whether standard theories of epistemic justification are consequentialist in nature and therefore vulnerable to certain trade-off cases where accepting a false or unjustified belief leads to good epistemic outcomes. We claim that these trade-offs raise an important—yet somewhat neglected—issue about the epistemic demands on inquiry. We first distinguish between two different kinds of epistemic evaluation\, viz.\, backing evaluation and outcome evaluation\, and then go on to outline and discuss a consequentialist metatheory about the right combinations of decision procedures to adopt in inquiry. Note that the piece is exploratory in the following sense: we try to explore epistemic evaluation in consequentialist terms\, which involves stating a form of epistemic consequentialism\, but also pointing to what non-consequentialist alternatives might be. Rather than trying to argue decisively for a particular conclusion\, we aim to outline various intricate issues in an underexplored area of theorizing. In the course of doing this\, we’ll transpose some well-known themes from discussions of consequentialism in ethics to the current debate about consequentialism in epistemology\, e.g.\, agent-neutrality\, options\, and side-constraints.

Because of growing perceptions that ongoing international collaborative health research between the Global North and Africa is colonial in nature\, there is worry that this goal will not be easily met. Hence\, there is an urgent need to decolonize international collaborative health research in Africa. Using Kwame Nkrumah’s analysis of his seminal work on ‘Neocolonialism: the last stage of imperialism’\, the aim of this paper is to reflect on the potential of the current dominant trend in decolonizing health research ethics in Africa to meet the ultimate goal of decolonization. Methods: This is a purely argumentative paper based on Kwame Nkrumah’s views on neocolonialism and decolonization. The paper also uses other secondary sources to corroborate and demonstrate its argument. Results: There is a growing consensus that international collaborative health research is colonial in nature and hence a need to decolonise it. The paper argues that Nkrumah’s analysis of neocolonialism implies that the ultimate goal of decolonizing health research in Africa should be to mitigate and ultimately stop the exploitation of African people in international collaborative health research. Discussion: The paper shows that the outcomes of most decolonizing efforts\, though necessary\, are not enough. Unless conscientiously pursued\, these efforts risk failure at meeting Nkrumah’s ultimate goal of decolonization and arguably are becoming a subtle method for facilitating\, sustaining and entrenching the ultimate goal of neocolonialism—the exploitation of African peoples. Conclusion: The mission of decolonizing health research ethics in Africa needs to clearly demonstrate the potential to mitigate and ultimately end maximin exploitation in health research and be critical enough to avoid the risk of instead facilitating neocolonialism unconsciously. \nJohn Barugahare\, Ph.D.\, is a senior lecturer and Head\, Department of Philosophy at Makerere University\, Kampala – Uganda. He teaches moral philosophy\, human rights and applies these in health care and health-related research. His major interest is in ethics international collaborative research. He is also interest in guiding the development of bioethics in Africa.

When it comes to pictures\, there is a tendency to either treat them as if they were language – one sees this in feminist work on pornography – or worse\, to ignore pictures altogether when the topic at hand least typically pictorial or typically has a significant pictorial dimension – one sees this in Jason Stanley’s work on propaganda. \nAgainst this linguisticism\, I argue that central and influential forms of oppressive “speech” are in fact pictorial and that to understand how they do their oppressive work\, we must approach pictures as pictures rather than as forms of spoken or written language. In this paper\, I first examine one glaring case of linguisticism\, then say something about what I think is going on here\, and finally briefly examine examples of oppressive pictures and give the outlines of an explanation of how they do their oppressive work. \nPlease note that I will be discussing pictures that glorify and eroticize rape\, and pictures that mock\, shame\, and demean Black persons. I will also mention pictures of lynchings. I will also briefly show some of these pictures\, though not the lynching pictures. I will not leave any pictures up for long because they are triggering or otherwise injurious for many of us. That\, after all\, is part of the point of this paper. I will give warning before I show or mention these pictures.

All welcome!\n\nBradley Hillier-Smith: The Ethics of State Responses to Refugees\n Edgecliffe 104\, 20th November from 4pm – 6pm\, followed by drinks. For those unable to join in person\, the Teams link is here.\n\nAbstract for The Ethics of State Responses to Refugees\nAt a time of intense philosophical and political debates on how states ought to respond to refugees\, this book provides an account of what an ethical response to refugees would be. It does this by developing an understanding of the moral duties that states have towards refugees. The first half of the book analyses state practices used in response to refugees\, to understand the negative duties of states not to harm or violate the rights of innocent refugees. The second half analyses morally significant features of contemporary refugee displacement\, to understand the positive duties of states to alleviate the distinctive harms and injustices that refugees face. The two halves together thereby outline the negative and positive duties of states towards refugees which together constitute the elements of an ethical response. The book then demonstrates this ethical response is not only urgently required but is also within reach.\n\nAbout Kieran Oberman: Kieran Oberman is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the LSE whose research and numerous publications specialise in the ethics of border control\, immigration\, migration ethics\, the freedoms and rights of migrants\, and obligations towards refugees among other topics in global justice.\n\nhttps://www.routledge.com/The-Ethics-of-State-Responses-to-Refugees/Hillier-Smith/p/book/9781032833675 URL:/philevents/event/bradley-hillier-smiths-the-ethics-of-state-responses-to-refugees-book-launch/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
