A maker has the relevant intention if and only if she has a substantive concept of the nature of Ks which largely matches that of prior makers of Ks (if any) and she intends to realize that concept by imposing K-relevant features. In cases of prototype production\, however\, where there are no prior exemplars of the artifactual kind in question\, Thomasson argues that what it is to be a K and what the K-relevant features are is determined\, as a matter of invention or stipulation\, purely by the content of the maker’s intentions and the goals she sets out to achieve through her creative act. As a result\, an agent who is constructing a prototype is related in a special way to the artifact and the artifactual kind she creates which protects her from certain kinds of error concerning the outcome of her creative act (see\, e.g.\, Thomasson\, Amie (2007)\, “Artifacts and Human Conceptsâ€\, in Creations of the Mind: Theories of Artifacts and Their Representation\, edited by Eric Margolis and Stephen Laurence\, Oxford University Press\, New York\, NY\, pp. 60-61). In this paper\, I discuss the adequacy of Thomasson’s treatment of prototype production. I argue that the process of prototype production in fact allows for various sources of errors and failures on the part of agents attempting to carry out their creative intentions that are not recognized by Thomasson’s author-intention-based account. The possibility of this kind of divergence between the intentions of authors and the outcome of their creative efforts thus calls for an alternative conception of prototype-production and of the nature of artifacts more generally.

We will examine their relation\, or lack thereof\, to conceptual engineering and we will apply the distinctions discussed to the specific case of the legal and everyday use of the term ‘violence’. \nZOOM INFO \n\nMeeting ID: 892 5895 0975\nPassword: ACEW21\nInvite link: here URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-tba-23/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210602T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210602T123000 DTSTAMP:20200819T154437Z CREATED:20200819T112815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T154437Z UID:10001068-1622631600-1622637000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-28/ ORGANIZER;CN="Ben Sachs":MAILTO:bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210602T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210602T180000 DTSTAMP:20210602T125248Z CREATED:20210504T101315Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210602T125248Z UID:10001279-1622649600-1622656800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Philosophy & Social Theory Arché Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/philosophy-social-theory-arche-seminar-5/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Philosophy & Social Theory Arché Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210603T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210603T120000 DTSTAMP:20210603T125912Z CREATED:20200819T113142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210603T125912Z UID:10001157-1622714400-1622721600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Super Special Seminar tba DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/super-special-seminar-tba-27/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58³Ô¹Ï\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Super Special Seminar series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210603T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210603T143000 DTSTAMP:20210603T125912Z CREATED:20200819T113143Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210603T125912Z UID:10001158-1622725200-1622730600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Daniel Whiting (Southampton) “Higher-Order Evidence\, First-Order Beliefs†DESCRIPTION:Abstract: When a person has evidence about their capacity to assess the evidence for or against a proposition\, for example\, when they have evidence that their assessment is subject to bias\, they have higher-order evidence. A popular view in epistemology is that higher-order evidence can make a difference to whether it is rational for a person to believe a proposition. In particular\, many think that there are cases in which it would be rational to believe a proposition in the absence of higher-order evidence but not rational to believe that same proposition in the presence of higher-order evidence. In this paper\, I will ask\, how? How might higher-order evidence have this effect? I will outline three answers to this question and show that they fail. In closing\, I will query the motivation for thinking that higher-order evidence makes a rational difference.
