SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Aaron Cotnoir (University of 58³Ō¹Ļ)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Partial identity and mereotopology \nAbstract: How should we think about the ways in which identity and parthood interact? One important line of thought comes from the joint influence of the two Davids: Armstrong and Lewis. The underlying idea is that mereological overlap is a kind of identity ā€“ namely\, partial identity. The aim of this paper is to ask whether there may be principled reasons to doubt that two partially identical objects must share some part. We wish to explore a notion of partial identity that does not require the existence of some separate part of both. We then provide a formal theory of such a relation drawn from mereotopology. We then consider an application in the philosophy of mathematics.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Lixiao Lin
DESCRIPTION:Aesthetic assertion\, aesthetic knowledge\, and acquaintance inference \nSimple aesthetic sentences normally give rise to an acquaintance inference (AI)\, inferences that the speaker has first-hand knowledge of the item being evaluated. For example\, if I say\,Ā ā€œSatantango is a beautiful novelā€\, my utterance suggests that I have read the book. How to explain AI? In this talk\, I will propose that AI is better analysed as an epistemic conversational implicature (i.e. a conversational implicature based on our assumption about the epistemology of aesthetic judgment). I will also argue that my account is better than other proposals currently on the market (e.g. the entailment view\, the presupposition view\, the expressionist view\, and the epistemic view. etc.).

SUMMARY:All Work and No Play
DESCRIPTION:A workshop on the philosophy of work and time-allocation \nĀ  \n16-18 September \, 2021 \nThe Future of Work and Income Research NetworkĀ  Ā Ā (fwistandrews@gmail.com) \nCentre for Ethics\, Philosophy\, and Public Affairs \nDepartment of Philosophy\, University of 58³Ō¹Ļ \nWorkshop to be held entirely online \nThursday 16th September \n\n\n\n10.30am\nWelcome and introdution to the Future of Work and Income Research Network\n\n\n11am ā€“ 12:30pm\nJonathan Wolff (Oxford University): Working at Home\, Socialising at Work\n\n\n2:30 ā€“ 4pm\nLisa Herzog (Groningen University): Bodies at Work\n\n\n\nFriday 17th September \n\n\n\n11am ā€“ 12:30pm\nDiana-Elena Popescu (Edinburgh University): Leisure for Every Body: Disability and the Four Day Workweek\n\n\n2:30 ā€“ 4pm\nJoe Ryle (4 Day Week Campaign): Has the time come for a four-day week?\n\n\n\nSaturday 18th September \n\n\n\n11am ā€“ 12:30pm\nOtto Lehto (KCL): The Technological Unemployment Hypothesis in the UBI Debate: A Critique\n\n\n12:30 ā€“ 2pm\nSimeon Goldstraw (Oxford University) Free Time Isnā€™t Working\n\n\n3 ā€“ 4:30pm\nBertrand Rossert (World Bank): Defining Work\n\n\n\nā€œ8 hours labour\, 8 hours recreation\, 8 hours rest!ā€ This was the slogan adopted by many labour movements in the nineteenth century\, when 16-hour working days were not uncommon. Marx believed that only part of the working day was required to supply workersā€™ consumption needs\, the rest going to support the consumption of idle capitalists. John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that a fifteen-hour workingĀ weekĀ was a close possibility\, requiring only that work was spread more evenly across the population. \nĀ  \nAlthough less extreme than Keynesā€™s vision\, some activists today are campaigning for a four-day working week. The campaign has won some victories\, with the Spanish government launching an experiment with mid-sized companies last year and the Scottish government promising to try something similar. Besides economic questions about labour productivity and marginal returns\, there are deep philosophical questions around theĀ allocation of timeĀ to work. We hope to address these in this workshop. Some examples are: \nĀ  \n\nHow do we distinguish labour\, recreation\, and rest?\nShould time spend recuperating between physically exhausting tasks count as rest or part of labour?\nShould activities undertaken to ā€˜decompressā€™ after mentally or emotionally taxing work count as recreation?\nAre there important differences between relaxation activities and leisure activities?\nIn his 1966 essay\, ā€œThe Abolition of Workā€\, Bob Black distinguished work from play in terms of the latter beingĀ voluntaryĀ ā€“ but what is the relevant category of ā€œvoluntarinessā€ here?\nWhat about the allocation of domestic and caring labour? How does this play into patterns of gender inequality and other forms of social imbalance?\nIsĀ timeĀ the right measure of the balance between work\, leisure\, and rest? What about intensity\, satisfaction\, etc.?\nIs flexibility in working time always a blessing\, or can it be a hidden curse?\nHow should we think about the allocation of working time among the population? Can some groups ā€œsteal timeā€ from others? What about the allocation of time across generations?\n\nFor More Information\nAlex Douglas (axd@st-andrews.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Jessica Brown ā€œGroup Evidenceā€
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:Ā We routinely ascribe belief and knowledge to groups\, saying such things as that the government knew that the new strain of covid was especially transmissible\, or that the government believed that restrictions on inbound travel to the country werenā€™t necessary despite the new strain. Many take such ascriptions to be literally true\, and there has been much recent work on what it is for a group to have a belief\, or for a group belief to be justified or constitute knowledge. Just as in the case of individuals\, if groups have beliefs then whether they are justified or constitute knowledge partially depends on their evidence. So itā€™s important to address the question of what is a groupā€™s evidence. Here\, I examine a range of different views about group evidence and argue for an inflationary account of group evidence on which a groupā€™s evidence is not a simple function of the evidence of its members.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk ā€“ Kimberley Brownlee (University of British Columbia)
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: ā€˜Interactional Wrongs and Vicesā€™\n\nABSTRACT: This paper explores a domain of action that we often regard as a minor moral matter\, the domain of ordinary interactions. Yet\, ordinary interactions are morally significant for two reasons: they are the primary vehicle through which 1) we show respect and disrespect for each other\, and 2) we either grease the wheels or put a spanner in the wheels of healthy human sociability. Interactional ethicsĀ concerns both our first-order conduct within a given interaction and our second-order management of our interactional lives. At both levels\, we can act well or badly and thereby do great good\, harm\, justice\, and injustice. This paper homes in on first-order and second-order interactionalĀ wrongs. It isolates distinct wrongs that we can do at each of the three key stages of an interaction ā€“ the initiation stage\, execution stage\, and conclusion stage ā€“ including\, notably\, engage inĀ interactional outsourcing. It then examines specific second-order patterns of wrongdoing ā€“ interactional vices ā€“ that we can display as we manage our interactional lives.
