SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Claudio Calosi Title: How to Build Things from Atoms
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Mereological atomism is the thesis that everything is ultimately composed of atomic parts. Typically\, this thesis is characterized by an axiom stating\, more simply\, that everything has atomic parts. The present paper argues that the success of the standard characterization crucially depends both on how the notion of composition is related to the notion of sum and on how the notion of sum is initially defined. In particular\, we put forward a novel definition of mereological sum such that: (i) provided no strong decomposition principle is assumed\, it is not equivalent to extant definitions in the literature; (ii) can be used to claim that the standard characterization of atomism fails in that for something to have atomic parts is not sufficient for it to be be the sum of its atoms\, and (iii) delivers a purely mereological distinction between structured and unstructured wholes [Joint Work with Alessandro Giordani\, Catholic University of Milan].

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Paul Égré (Paris) & Cathal O’Madagain (Ben Guérir): “Concept utility”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. — Practices of concept-revision among scientists suggest that concepts can be improved. In 2006\, the International Astronomical Union revised the concept PLANET so that it excluded Pluto\, and insisting that the result was an improvement. But what could it mean for one concept or conceptual scheme to be better than another? Here we draw on the theory of epistemic utility to address this question. We show how the plausibility and informativeness of beliefs\, two features that contribute to their utility\, have direct correlates in our concepts. These are how inclusive a concept is\, or how many objects in an environment it applies to\, and how homogeneous it is\, or how similar the objects that fall under the concept are. We provide ways of measuring these values\, and argue that in combination they can provide us with a single principle of concept utility. We use this measure to account for concept constitution\, and to rationalize cases of concept-revision. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Martin Smith (Edinburgh)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Lexical Priority\, Decision Theory and De Minimis Risk’ \nAbstract: Say that one moral requirement takes lexical priority over another just in case violations of the former can never be outweighed or counterbalanced by violations of the latter. While lexical priority is arguably a feature of many ethical systems\, attempts to model it within the framework of decision theory have led to a series of difficulties – a fact which is sometimes spun as a ‘decision theoretic critique’ of lexical priority. In this paper\, I will develop an enriched decision theoretic framework that is capable of overcoming one of the major obstacles to modelling lexical priority. The key move is to introduce\, into decision theory\, a non-probabilistic conception of risk known as normic risk.
