Indeed\, its most straightforward formalisation in second-order logic is. However\, contemporary logicians have developed more subtle formalisations of Meinong’s ideas\, the so-called neo-Meinongian logics\, that are provably consistent. In this talk\, I review two of the main approachs\, Nuclear Meinongianism and Dual Copula Meinongianism\, and I develop a new one\, based on a Meinongian instinct about complex properties. I present a consistent formal system based on second-order logic augmented with lambda-abstraction (an operator constructing complex properties) and a Meinongian operator m (which constructs Meinongian objects). I then mention an application of this formal system in philosophy of mathematics. More precisely\, I show how to derive a non-standard set theory within the formal system and present some of its properties. This serves as a first step towards Meinongian foundations of mathematics\, resembling Frege’s logicism.

Experimental philosophy (XPhi) focuses on using techniques from experimental psychology and cognitive science to investigate traditional philosophical problems and methods. It has seemed to many that XPhi could play an important role in CE projects\, and various aspects of this idea have started to show up in the literature. Here I focus on a fundamental question about the kinds of CE projects that could benefit from XPhi and how they might do so. This issue is closely linked to a the “changing the subject” problem (from Strawson) that has been used as an objection to CE. In particular\, how is information from XPhi about how we currently think and talk relevant to assessing and improving our representational devices? I argue that XPhi should play an important role in the assessment of most of our representational devices\, but its role in improving them is less clear\, especially in cases of scientific CE\, like the controversial definition of ‘planet’ by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link) URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-tba-2/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Conceptual Engineering Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200923T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200923T140000 DTSTAMP:20200923T200636Z CREATED:20200823T180349Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200923T200636Z UID:10001210-1600866000-1600869600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-42/ ORGANIZER;CN="Ben Sachs":MAILTO:bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200923T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200923T160000 DTSTAMP:20200923T183556Z CREATED:20200820T171334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200923T183556Z UID:10001196-1600869600-1600876800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy & Social Theory Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/feminist-philosophy-social-theory-seminar-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T120000 DTSTAMP:20200924T205139Z CREATED:20200708T155355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200924T205139Z UID:10000993-1600941600-1600948800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Super Special Seminar tba DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/super-special-seminar-tba-6/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Super Special Seminar series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T143000 DTSTAMP:20200924T205139Z CREATED:20200709T155425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200924T205139Z UID:10001003-1600952400-1600957800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Paolo Savino (TBD) DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/epistemology-seminar-tba-2/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Epistemology Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T173000 DTSTAMP:20200924T202135Z CREATED:20200710T154552Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200924T202135Z UID:10001011-1600963200-1600968600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Works-in-Progress Talk – Julia Driver (UT Austin and 58Թ) DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Blame and the Suberogatory’ \nAbstract: In this paper the claim that some actions are blameworthy even if they are not wrong is defended. Suberogatory actions\, which generally involve people standing on their rights in ways that display inadequate quality of the will\, are examples. I defend this claim against a strategy of assimilating these cases to the “right to do wrong” category and then sketch out a picture of the sorts of norm violations these actions represent. \nHandout: Handout_Blame and the Suberogatory URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-2/ CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200925T101500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200925T114500 DTSTAMP:20200925T205037Z CREATED:20200708T155355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200925T205037Z UID:10000994-1601028900-1601034300@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Medieval Logic Seminar (no meeting) DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/medieval-logic-seminar-tba-2/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Medieval Logic Research Group END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
