SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Matthew Green (University of 58łÔąĎ)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Relevance in the Logic of Imagination \nAbstract: Reality-oriented mental simulation is a kind of imagination. The working assumption is that\, when trying to determine whether a match would light if struck\, one initially imagines striking the match and\, together with relevant beliefs imported into the imaginative scenario\, mentally simulates what would happen. But what beliefs count as relevant in this context? And how is relevance to be modelled in the logic of imagination? \nDifferent answers to these questions yield different approaches in the logic of imagination\, including possible worlds approaches (Lewis 1978\, Heintz 1979\, Niiniluoto 1985\, Costa–Leite 2010)\, impossible worlds approaches (Berto 2014\, Priest 2016a\, Priest 2016b\, Berto 2016\, Berto 2017\, Berto and Jago 2019)\, and subject matter approaches (Berto 2018a\, Berto 2018b). In the first part of the talk\, I’ll argue that these approaches do not adequately model relevance. In the second\, I’ll propose a new approach and argue that\, whilst an improvement\, it is not without issue. I’ll introduce a significant problem for the approach and show how I’ve tried to solve it.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: David Papineau (KCL)
DESCRIPTION:The Causal Argument Against Representationalism \nThe central argument against perceptual representationalism in my recent The Metaphysics of Sensory Experience was that representational states aren’t causally efficacious in the way that perceptual states are. In this talk I shall explore some further issues related to this argument\, including the general question of the causal significance of representational states\, and the prospects for holding that perceptual states metaphysically determine representational states while remaining distinct from them.

SUMMARY:Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Emilia Wilson Dangerous Speech\, Free Speech and Cancel Culture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Toxic speech inflicts individual and group harm\, damaging the social fabric upon which we all depend. To understand and combat the harms of toxic speech\, philosophers can learn from epidemiology\, while epidemiologists can benefit from lessons of philosophy of language. In medicine and public health\, research into remedies for toxins pushes in two directions: individual protections (personal actions\, avoidances\, preventive or reparative tonics) and collective action (specific policies or widespread “inoculations” through which we seek herd immunity). This paper is the beginning of a project of identifying potential inoculations and antidotes to toxic speech. The essay brings a social practice theory of language\, with special reliance on language-games and inferential roles\, into conversation with concepts from the study of biologic toxins. Some speech harms are acute while others are chronic and insidious; they have different methods of delivery\, come invariable doses\, and not everyone is equally susceptible to the power to harm. I argue that of the many kinds of challenges we might issue against toxic speech\, challenging its expressive commitments has the greatest potential to stop the damage.The essay explores the different sorts of protections that inoculations andantidotes might offer against discursive toxins and sketches how to imagine these in the practices that govern our speech. The paper does not make policy recommendations\, but an epidemiology of discursive toxicity reveals several kinds of “more speech” that might fight against “bad speech.”

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Paulina Sliwa (Cambridge) “Asking the right moral questions”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What is it to engage in moral inquiry? The received wisdom is that it is to answer moral questions – that is\, questions about what we ought to do. Someone has moral expertise to the extent to which she is reliable at arriving at true answers to those questions. Philosophical disagreements have focused on what it takes to arrive at right answers: is it a matter of being able to weigh reasons\, something more akin to a perceptual capacity\, or the ability to give explanations? These debates leave a crucial part of moral inquiry unexplored: namely how we come up with moral questions in the first place. This paper examines the asking-questions part of moral inquiry and what it tells us about moral expertise.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Big Data and the Risk of Misguided Responsibilization\n \nAbstract: The arrival of “big data” promises new degrees of precision in understanding human behavior. Could it also make it possible to draw a finer line between individual choices and circumstances that operate in the background? In a culture in which individual responsibility continues to be celebrated\, this raises questions about new opportunities for institutional design with a stronger focus on individual responsibility. But what is it that can be drawn from big data? In this paper I argue that we should not expect a “god’s eye’s view” on choice and circumstances from big data. “Responsibility” is a social construct that depends on the logic of different social situations\, as well as our epistemic access to certain counterfactuals (e.g. whether an agent “could have acted differently”). It is this epistemic dimension that changes with the arrival of big data. But while it might help overcome some epistemic barriers\, it might also create new problems\, e.g. because of polluted data. This is not just a theoretical problem; it is directly connected to questions about the regulation of the insurance industry\, for which “big data” has been described as a “game changer.” I argue that this development forces us to directly confront questions about mutualist versus solidaristic forms of insurance\, and more generally speaking about how much weight to ascribe to individual responsibility\, given all we know about unequal background circumstances.
