SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Andrea Oliani (University of St. Andrews)
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Against Conservative Ontology\n\nABSTRACT: In his recent book Objects: Nothing Out of the Ordinary (2015)\, Dan Z. Korman argues in favour of conservatism in metaphysics\, that is\, very roughly\, that what we ordinarily take there to be is true. Especially\, we are right about how many objects there are and what these objects are supposed to be. Korman takes conservatism to be opposed both to permissivism\, according to which there is much more than we ordinarily take there to be\, and eliminativism\, according to which\, there is nothing of (or much less than) we ordinarily take there to be. Korman’s master conservative defence relies on what he calls the “arguments from counterexamples” plus an epistemic “theory of apprehension”. In this talk\, I’ll show that his defensive line is ineffective and that permissivism – at least the version of it I favour – can be vindicated.

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Hasok Chang (Cambridge): “Re-engineering Natural Kinds”
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT. — I propose to re-conceive the debate on natural kinds from the perspective of conceptual engineering. I take ‘natural’ kinds in a broadly naturalist way\, seeing a continuity between philosophical thinking and empirical inquiry in the natural sciences. This naturalist take on natural kinds recognizes that an important part of good scientific research is continual work of conceptual engineering\, always seeking to craft concepts that facilitate understanding and inquiry most effectively. Such a revision of concepts is an important part of scientific progress. This perspective on concepts complements Dewey’s pragmatist view of methodology\, according to which all rules are subject to ongoing empirical evaluation and revision. These ideas will be illustrated through several examples of conceptual development from the history of science\, concerning some basic concepts such as temperature\, acidity\, and chemical elements. \nZOOM INFO \n\nMeeting ID: 892 5895 0975\nPassword: ACEW21\nInvite link: here

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Jonathan Quong (University of Southern California)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Permissibility of Lesser Evil \nAbstract: \nFlood:   Flood water is headed toward a cave where five innocent people are trapped and will be killed if the water reaches them. The water can be diverted into a mineshaft\, but innocent Betty is trapped in the mineshaft and will be killed if the water is redirected. Albert is a bystander who has seen and understood the whole situation\, and he stands next to a switch that can divert the flood. He can easily flip the switch. \nWhen considering cases like this\, some people believe that Albert is morally required to save the five at the cost of Betty’s life (the requirement thesis). Others believe that Albert is permitted but not required to save the five (the permissive thesis). I argue in favor of the permissive thesis and against the requirement thesis. I conclude by considering some further implications for the ethics of self-defense and war.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA and FPST): Renee Bolinger (Princeton) “Are We Entitled to Be Believed?”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Discussions in a variety of contexts (including at least epistemic injustice\, moral encroachment\, epistemic obligations of friendship) sometimes assume that speakers have a right or moral entitlement to be believed when they assert or testify that p: that they are wronged if their audience fails to believe them. It is controversial whether rights of this kind are intelligible\, or precisely what their basis is. This talk aims to get clearer on what a “right to be believed” is a right to by working backward: sifting through the various ways of characterizing the justifications we might give for such an entitlement\, and the wrongs suffered when it is violated. I suggest that the best candidate is a claim to appropriate epistemic policies\, which I unpack and sketch at the end of the talk.
