We argue that\, even from a normative point of view\, this modelling is inadequate for it sets requirements that cannot be actually attained according to solid empirical evidence. We therefore design a non-standard dynamic framework\, making use of (a) impossible worlds (not closed under logical consequence)\, and (b) quantitative components capturing the agent’s cognitive capacity and the cognitive costs of inference rules with respect to certain resources (e.g. memory\, time). These ingredients allow us to avoid problematic logical closure principles and at the same time account for the agent’s bounded reasoning steps. Moreover\, such impossible-worlds models induce awareness-like structures\, contributing towards a unifying overview of the omniscience literature and the extraction of useful formal results. We finally show that this approach can be generalized in order to encompass the dynamics of higher-order reasoning\, communication\, group deliberation\, and thus do justice to multiple facets of human reasoning.

Using these terms outside their original context warps their meaning\, decreasing the intelligibility of the experiences of the marginalised agents who use them when attempting to express themselves both within their community and without. \nI intend to give an analysis of this phenomena\, with the expectation that understanding it better will provide a crucial step in combatting it. To this end I will argue it can best be understood as a specialised form of what Kristie Dotson calls ‘contributory injustice’combined with a specific consequence of what Boyd and Marwick call ‘context collapse’. The result is a novel phenomena I label ‘Context-Collapsed Contributory Injustice’ or ‘CC.CI’. \nIn addition\, I will argue that CC.CI causes a novel from of what Miranda Fricker calls ‘hermeneutical injustice’\, which is demarcated by its ability to reintroduce conceptual lacunas by undermining existing hermeneutical resources. \n\n\nThroughout\, I will focus on the example case of the misappropriation of the concept ‘woke’ as it is used on black twitter (which is\, roughly\, the subsection of twitter users who are black and tweet with the intended audience of other black users). \n  URL:/philevents/event/philosophy-and-social-theory-seminar-6/ CATEGORIES:Philosophy & Social Theory Arché Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211028T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211028T120000 DTSTAMP:20260619T162935 CREATED:20210730T175856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211028T153810Z UID:10001350-1635415200-1635422400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Super Special Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/super-special-seminar-13/ CATEGORIES:Super Special Seminar series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211028T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211028T143000 DTSTAMP:20260619T162935 CREATED:20210730T175857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211028T153810Z UID:10001351-1635426000-1635431400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Frederik Andersen (58³Ô¹Ï) “Logical Akrasia†DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The aim of this paper is two-fold. First\, it introduces the concept logical akrasia (by analogy to epistemic akrasia). Second\, it discusses how logical akrasia relates to the standards of epistemic rationality\, and in particular\, how logical akrasia poses a challenge to the tenability of the controversial ï¬xed point thesis.

Sally Haslanger has argued that\, in doing social ontology\, we can sometimes approach the question ‘what is x?’ by asking question ‘what do we want x to be?’. I argue that sometimes the only way to answer this question is to answer it skeptically: that what we want x to be is something it can’t be. But I suggest that there’s a version of skepticism we can bring to questions like this that is substantially weaker than error theory or eliminativism. I use the case of health as an example.
