SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Roy Sorenson
DESCRIPTION:Title: Mini-Meno: How to Get More Out of Your Transmission \nAbstract: My positive thesis is that competent deduction can add justification not already present in the premise – contrary to a tradition inaugurated by Plato’s dialogue Meno. My negative thesis is there is a novel counter-example to Counter-closure. According to this conservative principle\, if you now know a conclusion by virtue of deducing it from a premise\, then you knew that premise all along the inferential process. The counter-example features a lazy but logical student Mini. Doctor Evel tells her D: All deductive arguments reason from general to particular.  When she is unpersuaded\, Doctor Evel cites the definition of deduction in the Oxford English Dictionary. In light of this authority\, Mini does not know that D is false. But then she rallies: Not D\, therefore. Not D. Whether her premise counts as general or particular\, her own deduction constitutes a direct counterexample to D.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Emilia Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this presentation I explore the harm of positive assault portrayals\, which refer to depictions of sexual assault in which the victim is shown to initially refuse some sexual contact but subsequently change their mind or enjoy the assault. I propose that\, contrary to some popular feminist analyses\, the significance of positive assault portrayals is the meaning of ‘consent’ and ‘rape’ they promote. On this view\, belief in rape myths for example\, does not merely reflect misconceptions about the nature of rape\, but the adoption of a regressive conception of what ‘rape’ means.  Positive assault portrayals force us to presuppose this regressive conception of ‘rape’ in order to make sense of them. I aim to argue that these positive assault portrayals\, specifically when produced in popular media\, could successfully shift the meaning of ‘rape’\, with potential consequences for the perpetration of sexual violence itself.

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Helen De Cruz (St Louis): “Ameliorative genealogy and hunter-gatherer philosophies”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract. — According to Mary Midgley (1919–2018)\, philosophy is like plumbing: “Each system supplies vital needs for those who live above it. Each is hard to repair when it does go wrong\, because neither of them was ever consciously planned as a whole”. In her view\, philosophy responds to basic needs that are fundamental to human social life. Our political and social institutions have philosophical concepts at their basis\, and a well-ordered society requires philosophical concepts that are up to the task of helping us devise right ways of living together. Melioristic projects in philosophy attempt to fix or reroute this plumbing\, but because our philosophical concepts are invisible and because we are so familiar with them\, conceptual engineering is difficult. Philosophical genealogies aim to overcome this limit to our imagination by looking at how our current concepts originated. This paper will discuss philosophical concepts developed in hunter-gatherer communities as a source of inspiration for melioristic philosophy and conceptual engineering. We ought not treat contemporary hunter-gatherers as proxies of stages of human evolution. Rather\, examining the philosophical ideas of hunter-gatherers is useful because it gives us a better idea of the range of human ethical\, political\, metaphysical ideas. Members of large-scale societies do not get a clear view of this range\, because living in large groups presents its own constraints and challenges\, which in turn limits the philosophical options. I will argue that features of hunter-gatherer philosophies\, such as egalitarianism and care for one’s natural environment are not inevitable byproducts of hunter-gatherer life\, but rather\, sophisticated philosophical ideas\, and hunter-gatherer societies\, past and present\, are philosophical peers to our present-day large-scale societies. I close by considering the role of academic philosophers in the light of this. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link)

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Kieran Setiya (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘What is Morality?’ \nAbstract: In “Modern Moral Philosophy\,” Anscombe argued that the moral vocabulary does not correspond to any concept of Aristotelian ethics\, that it derives from a confused response to the ethics of divine of command\, and that it is literally meaningless. This essay contends that Anscombe was wrong. Morality corresponds to Aristotle’s general sense of “justice\,” which is complete virtue in relation to another. But Anscombe’s question remains: what is it for an action to be morally wrong\, not merely something one should not do? The answer is not that wrongness warrants blame or that an action is wrong when it wrongs another person\, but that an action is morally wrong when it is something one should not do that one has no right to do. In the absence of rights\, Anscombe’s question has no answer. \nMorality-Handout
